5 16,000

Required:
a. If the cost of capital is 10 percent, what is the net present value of selecting a new machine?
b. What is the internal rate of return?

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a. the net present value is

Year   cash flow        factor at 10%     Discounted cash flows

0         -$56,000         1                         $56,000

1           $23,000         0.9091               $20,909.09

2         $23,000          0.8264              $19,008.26

Celestial Artistry Company is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct-labor hours for its two production Department. Etching and Finishing. The Etching, Department employs 20 people and the Finishing Department employs 80 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,000hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Etching Department are budgeted at $200.000, and the Finishing Department costs are budgeted at $320.000. Two service departments. Maintenance and Computing directly support the two production departments. These service department, have budgeted costs of $48,000 and $250,000 respectively.

Microsoft sells two types of office software, a word processor it calls Word, and a spreadsheet it calls excel. Both can be produced at zero marginal cost. There are two types of consumers for these products, who exist in roughly equal proportions in the population: authors, who are willing to pay $120 for Word and $40 for excel, and economists who are willing to pay $50 for word and $150 for excel.
a. Ideally, Microsoft would like to charge authors more for Word and economists more for excel. Why would it be more difficult for microsoft to do this?
b. Suppose that Microsoft execs decide to sell word and Excel Seperately, what price should Microsoft set for word? (Hint: is it better to sell only to authors, or try to sell to both authors and economists?) What price should Microsoft set for excel? What will microsoft's profit be from a representative group of one author and one economist?
c. Suppose the Microsoft decides to bundle together Word and Excel in a package called Office, and not offer them individually. What price should Microsoft set for the package? Why? How much profit will Microsoft generate from a representative group of one author and one economist?
d. Does bundling allow Microsoft to generate higher profit than selling Word and Excel seperately?

Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $8,500,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,800,000, $3,600,000, and $3,600,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be: Building Land Equipment a. $ 4,800,000 $ 3,600,000 $ 3,600,000 b. $ 4,800,000 $ 3,600,000 $ 600,000 c. $ 3,400,000 $ 2,550,000 $ 2,550,000 d.

Ahsan Company makes 60,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct materials $12.60 Direct labor 17.20 Variable manufacturing overhead 4.10 Fixed manufacturing overhead 15.00 Unit product cost $48.90 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs for $69.70 a unit. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin on this other product would be $319,600 per year. If the part were purchased from the outside supplier, all of the direct labor cost of the part would be avoided. However, $4.30 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost being applied to the part would continue even if the part were purchased from the outside supplier. This fixed manufacturing overhead cost would be applied to the company's remaining products. How much of the unit product cost of $48.90 is relevant in the decision of whether to make or buy the part? Multiple Choice $44.60 $17.20 $69.70
