A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,050,000 and can be sold for $670,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Answer:
$718,606.4
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the accumulated depreciation
=$3,050,000×(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152)
= $3,050,000×0.8272
= $2,522,960
The accumulated depreciation is then subtracted from the book value in purchase to get the book value on sale
= $3,050,000-$2,522,960
= $527,040
The next step is to subtract the book value on sale from the salvage value
= $527,040-$670,000
= -$142,960
Loss of - $142,960
The tax gain on disposal can be calculated as follows
= -$142,960×34/100
= -$142,960×0.34
= -$48,606.4
Therefore, the after-tax salvage value can be calculated as follows
= salvage value-tax disposal
= $670,000-(-48,606.4)
= $670,000+$48,606.4
= $718,606.4
Hence the aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $718,606.4

After deciding to acquire a new car, you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you want costs $38,000. The dealer has a leasing arrangement where you pay $105 today and $505 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at an APR of 6 percent. You believe that you will be able to sell the car for $26,000 in three years. a. What is the present value of leasing the car
Answer:
The present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The monthly rate =0.06/12 =(6%/12)
the number of period = 3 * 12 =23
Now
The present value of leasing the car is computed below:
Payment day =$105
add: Present value of future monthly payment = 505 * (1-(1+(0.06/12))^-36/(0.06/12)
= 166,599,86
Present value of the car =$105 +$166,599,86
=$16,704.86
Thus
The present value of purchasing the car:
Purchase cost = $38,000
Less: present value of resale = 26000/(1+(0.06/12))^-36
=21,726.77
Present value of purchasing the car is $38,000 + $21,726.77
=$16,273.23
Now
The break even sale price
Let the resale price be x
38000 -(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 =16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 38000 - 16704.86
(x/((1+(0.06/12))^-36 = 21295.14
x = ((1+(0.06/12))^-36 * 212954.14
x = 25483.48
Therefore the present value of leasing the car is $16,704.86 and the break even sale price is $25483.48

Medium of exchangeExplanation:
Money's four functions are:
Medium of exchange = you can use money to purchase or sells goods and services. Unit of account = money helps us to understand the relative value of goods and services, since the higher the price, the higher the value of a good or service is. Store of value = you can save money for future useStandard of deferred payment = money allows people to take or hand out loans that will be repaid in the futureA North Face retail store in Chicago sells 500 jackets each month. Each jacket costs the store $100 and the company has an annual holding cost of 25 percent. The fixed cost of a replenishment order (including transportation cost) is $100. The store currently places a replenishment order for Q.
1. What is the annual holding and ordering cost?
2. On average, how long does a jacket spend in inventory?
3. If the retail store wants to minimize ordering and holding cost, what order size do you recommend?
4. How much would the optimal order reduce holding and ordering cost relative to the current policy?
Answer:
(1) The annual holding cost is =$6250, The ordering costs is = 500 units
(2) The total cost is = $7450
(3)224 unit
(4) $1,864.30
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The annual demand = 520 units * 12
= 6,240 units
The cost per order = $100 per order
The Carrying Cost = 0.25% * $100
= 25 per unit per year
Thus
(1) The Ordering quantity = 500 units every month
The annual holding cost =0.5*quantity ordered*holding cost
The Annual Holding cost = 0.5*500*25
Annual Holding cost =$6250
(2) The ordering (Annual)cost = number of orders *cost per order
Annual ordering cost =(500*12/500)*100
Annual ordering cost =$1200
Total cost = 6250+1200=7450
(3)Thus
EOQ=(2*D*S/h)^0.5
EOQ=(2*6240*100/25^)0.5
EOQ=223.43
=224 unit
(4)The ordering cost =(6240/224)*100=2785.70
Holding cost=0.5*224*25
=2800
Total cost= 2785.70+2800
Total cost=5585.70
Total savings = 7450 - 5585.70
= $1,864.30
A stock has an expected return of 15.0 percent, its beta is 0.90, and the risk-free rate is 5.3 percent. What must the expected return on the market be
Answer:
16.07%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below
As we know that
Expected Return on stock = Risk free return + beta ( Expected Market Rate of Return - Risk free return )
15 % = 5.3% + 0.90 × (Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%)
15 % - 5.3% ÷ 0.90 = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3%
10.77% = Expected Market Rate of Return - 5.3 %
So, expected market rate of return is
= 10.77 + 5.3%
= 16.07%
We simply applied the above formula
A client believes that XYZZY stock has topped out in price and is ready for a steep drop. What recommendation would give the customer the smallest profit if this occurs
Answer: Buy XYZZ stock and sell an XYZZ call
Explanation:
Since the buyer seems convinced that XYZZ stock has bottomed its price, he should purchase the stock since it has gotten to its cheapest Point.
And since he believes that XYZZ's price would rebound soon, He should exercise a little patience and not sell at a call option for XYZZ. Because if he attempts to sell at a call option then his earnings becomes very limited, since the price set at the call option would be very low.
My best advice would be for him to hold on to XYZZ stock for a while and allow for its price to rebound.

Skolits Corp. issued 15-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 103 percent of par value, what is the YTM?
Answer:
6.94%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity can be computed using excel rate function found below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the coupons that bond has left to pay i.e 26 semiannual coupons in 13 years
pmt is the semiannual coupon amount i.e $1000*7.3%*6/12=36.5
pv is the current market price i.e 103%*$1000=$1030
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(26,36.5,-1030,1000)=3.47%
semiannual yield =3.47%
annual yield =3.47% *2=6.94%

Since terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year payments, it implies that interest will be paid on the amount outstanding balance for a whole year.
The would be paid in Year 2 can therefore be calculated as follows:
Equal amount of the loan principal = Loan amount / Number of equal end-of-year payments = $35,000 / 7 = $5,000
Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 = Loan amount - Year 1 end-of-year payment = $35,000 - $5,000 = $30,000
Year 2 interest payable = Loan balance outstanding throughout Year 2 * Annual interest rate = $30,000 = 7.5% = $2,250.
Therefore, you would be paying $2,250 interest in Year 2.
Accounts Receivable has a balance of $ 5 comma 000, and the Allowance for Bad Debts has a credit balance of $ 420. The allowance method is used. What is the net realizable value of Accounts Receivable after a $ 140 account receivable is written off?
Answer:
$4,580
Explanation:
since we are using the allowance method, the journal entry to record the write off is:
Dr Allowance for bad debts 140
Cr Accounts receivable 140
So the accounts receivable balance = $5,000 - $140 = $4,860
the allowance for bad debts balance = $280
accounts receivable net balance = $4,860 - $280 = $4,580
Allowance for bad debts accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the balance of accounts receivable.
Bruno Corporation is involved in the business of injection molding of plastics. It is considering the purchase of a new computer-aided design and manufacturing machine for $430,300. The company believes that with this new machine, it will improve productivity and increase quality, resulting in an increase in net annual cash flows of $98,800 for the next 6 years. Management requires a 10% rate of return on all new investments
Required:
a. Calculate the internal rate of return on this new machine. Should the investment be accepted?
b. Calculate cash payback period, internal rate of return, and apply decision rules.
Answer:
10%
Yes
4.36 years
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-430,300
Cash flow each year from year one to six = $98,800
IRR =10%
The project should be accepted because the IRR is equal to the required rate of return
Cash payback calculates how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.
Cash payback = amount invested / cash flow =
$430,300 / $98,800 = 4.36 years
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper _______ can help to resolve conflicts when they arise
Answer:
Objectives
Explanation:
Generally, organizations are required to set short or medium-term objectives to ensure there's an effective customer relationships management, improve worker's efficiency or productivity and more importantly to increase their revenues and profits. These objectives are usually drafted by the executive or top management of an organization and it's mandatory that all the employees are diligently working towards achieving this set goals.
In large organizations, the potential exists for different parts of an organization to pursue its own goals rather than the overall company goals. Proper objectives can help to resolve conflicts when they arise.
For instance, the sales department in a bid to meet daily or monthly targets may result to unauthorized marketing channels and procedures which may be in contrast to the objectives of the human resources department.
With proper objectives such as policies and guidelines, conflicts of goals would be mitigated as various departments would ensure their activities are in tandem with the overall company goals. This can be easily achieved by appointing functional managers who have an oversight function of supervising the employees in their departments at all times.
