a.) Suppose that South Pangean debt is $100 million and the interest rate it pays on that debt is 4 percent. That means its interest payments must be $ million.
b.) If South Pangean expenditures are $30 million without interest payments, that means its expenditures with interest payments are $ million.
Answer:
a
$4 million
b.
expenditures with interest payments
Explanation:
a.
The interest payment is the value of debt taken multiplied by the interest rate on the debt.
In other words, the interest payment is computed using the below formula:
annual interest payment=value of debt*interest rate
value of debt=$100 million
interest rate=4%
annual interest payment=$100 million*4%
annual interest payment=$4 million
b.
The expenditures with interest payments are is the expenditures without interest payments plus interest payments determined as $4million above
expenditures with interest payments=expenditures without interest payments+interest payments
expenditures without interest payments=$30 million
interest payments=$4 million
expenditures with interest payments=$30million+$4million
expenditures with interest payments=$34million
The interest amount for the $ 100 million at 4% interest rate has been $4 million. The expenditure of South Pangean with interest has been $34 million.
(a) Interest has been the amount paid to the sum principal amount based on the interest rate.
Annual interest can be calculated as:
Interest = Interest rate [tex]\times[/tex] Principal sum
Interest = 4% [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million
Interest = [tex]\rm \dfrac{4}{100}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] $100 Million
Interest = $ 4 Million.
(b) The expenditures with interest have been the sum of expenditure and the interest amount.
Expenditure with interest = Expenditure + Interest
Expenditure with interest = $ 30 + $ 4 million
Expenditure with interest = $ 34 million.

You are considering an investment that costs $152,000 and has projected cash flows of $71,800, $86,900, and -$11,200 for years 1 to 3, respectively. If the required rate of return is 15.5 percent, should you accept the investment based solely on the internal rate of return rule? Why or why not?
a. Yes; The IRR exceeds the required return.
b. No; The IRR exceeds the required return.
c. You cannot apply the IRR rule in this case.
d. Yes; The IRR is less than the required return.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
The IRR would give conflicting answers in this case because a stream of positive cash flows is followed by negative cash flow
IRR can only be used when a negative cash flow is followed by positive cash flows
In this question there are two negative cash flows in year 0 and year 3
The following are Hibiscus Company's cost of making and selling an item:
Description Amount per unit
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $5
Variable selling and administrative $2
Fixed selling and administrative $8
A one-time only special order has been received for 600 units. The company has capacity to accept the oder and it would not affect regular sales. The sales price for the special order is 26 per unit. Total fixed costs would not be affected by this order. The variable selling and administrative costs would have to be incurred for this special order. The order would require an additional $3 per unit for specialized materials and a new machine that costs $2,000. What is the financial advantage or disadvantage of accepting the special order?
Answer:
$2,800 financial advantage
Explanation:
We consider incremental costs and revenues in our analysis for the effects of accepting the special order.
Analysis of effects of accepting the special order :
Sales - Incremental (600 units x $26) $15,600
Less Incremental Costs :
Direct materials ($9 x 600 units) ($5,400)
Direct labor ($4 x 600 units) ($2,400)
Variable manufacturing overhead ($2 x 600 units) ($1,200)
Specialized materials ($3 x 600 units) ($1,800)
Machine Cost ($2,000)
Financial Advantage / (Disadvantage) $2,800
therefore,
the financial advantage of accepting the special order is $2,800

On September 30, 2018, Corso Steel acquired a patent from Thermo Steel. The agreement specified that Corso will pay Thermo $1,000,000 immediately and then another $1,000,000 on September 30, 2020. An interest rate of 8% reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement.
What amount of interest expense, if any, would Corso record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end?
a. $68,687.
b. $80,000.
c. $60,000.
d. $69,959.
Answer: $69,959
Explanation:
The amount of interest expense, that Corso will record on December 31, 2019, the company’s fiscal year end will be calculated thus:
First, we calculate the present value of payment which will be made on September 30,2020 and this will be:
= $1000000 × 0.857339
= $857339
Then, the interest expense on December 31,2018 will be:
= $857339 × 8%/12 × 3
= $17147
Therefore, the Interest expense on December 31,2019 will be:
= ($857339 + $17147) × 8%
= $874486 × 0.08
= $69959
The following data are taken from the financial statements of Bar Harbor Company:
2017 2016
Average accounts receivable $530,000 $550,000
Net sales on account 5,800,000 5,200,000
Terms for all sales are 2/10, n/30
a) Compute the accounts receivable for both years.
b) Compute the average collection period for both years.
Answer:
a. Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales on account/Average accounts receivable
2017
Accounts receivable turnover = $5,800,000/$530,000
Accounts receivable turnover = 10.94
2016
Accounts receivable turnover = $5,200,000 / $550,000
Accounts receivable turnover = 9.45
b. Average collection period = 365 days/Accounts receivable turnover
2017
Average collection period = 365/10.94
Average collection period = 33 days
2016
Average collection period = 365/9.45
Average collection period = 39 days

Risk and Return. We have seen that over long periods of time, stock investments have tended to substantially outperform bond investments. However, it is not at all uncommon to observe investors with long horizons holding entirely bonds. Are such investors irrational?
Answer:
No they are not irrational. They are risk averse
Explanation:
As a general rule the higher the returns on an investment the higher the risk of losing one's funds invested, and the lower the returns the lower the risk.
Bonds have lower returns than stocks but for investors that have long horizon holdings they would prefer investing in bonds.
This is because they are risk averse and the risk in bonds is low.
They are willing to make low returns over a long time than to risk losing their investment on stocks that are riskier

A company is considering the purchase of new equipment for $480,000. The projected after-tax net income is $80,000 per year after deducting $160,000 of annual depreciation expense. The equipment has a useful life of 3 years and no salvage value. What is the payback period for the new equipment?
a. 2 years.
b. 3 years.
c. 4 years.
d. 5 years.
e. 6 years.
Answer:
a. 2 years.
Explanation:
Annual cash flow = After-tax net income + Depreciation
Annual cash flow = $80,000 + $160,000
Annual cash flow = $240,000
Payback Period = Cost of Project / Annual cash Flow
Payback Period = $480,000 / $240,000
Payback Period = 2 years
So, the payback period for the new equipment is 2 years.
