Beloit Co. is a manufacturer of mini-doughnut machine makers. Early in 2015 a customer asked Beloit to quote a price for a custom-designed doughnut machine to be delivered by the end of 2015. Once purchased, the customer intends to place the machine in service in January 2016 and will use it for four years. The expected annual operating net cash flow is estimated to be $120,000. The expected salvage value of the equipment at the end of four years is about 10% of the initial purchase price. To expect a 15% required rate of return on investment, what would be the maximum amount that should be spent on purchasing the doughnut machine

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$363,375.20

Explanation:

initial outlay = X

useful life = 4 years

salvage value = 0.1X

NCF years 1 - 4 = $120,000

discount rate = 15%

NPV = 0

X = $120,000/1.15 + $120,000/1.15² + $120,000/1.15³ + ($120,000 + 0.1X)/1.15⁴ =

X = $104,347.83 + $90,737.24 + $78,901.95 + $68,610.39 + 0.05718X

X = $342,597.41 + 0.05718X

0.94282X = $342,597.41

X = $342,597.41 / 0.94282 = $363,375.20

Dewey Corp. is expected to have an EBIT of $2.45 million next year. Depreciation, the increase in net working capital, and capital spending are expected to be $180,000, $85,000, and $185,000, respectively. All are expected to grow at 18 percent per year for four years. The company currently has $13 million in debt and 800,000 shares outstanding. The company’s WACC is 9.1 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. You decide to calculate the terminal value of the company with the price-sales ratio. You believe that Year 5 sales will be $27.4 million and the appropriate price-sales ratio is 1.9. What is your estimate of the current share price?

Answers

Answer:

 $41.13              

Explanation:

The current share price can be calculated by first deducting the debt from the firm value then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. To calculate the firm value first we need to calculate the free cash flows and after calculating free cashflows we will multiply them with the Compan's WACC to reach the present value of each free cash flow

DATA

EBIT = 2.45m

WACC = 9.1%

Tax rate = 21%

Debt  = 13m

Outstanding shares = 800,000

Answers

Answer:

quantity of apples in the market to decrease and the equilibrium price of apples to be indeterminate.

Explanation:

The decrease in income would reduce the demand for apples because there would be less disposable income available to buy apples. The decrease in demand would lead to a fall in price and quantity

If 10 orchards go out of business. The supply of apples would reduce. This would reduce quantity and increase price.

Taking these two occurrence together, equilibrium quantity would fall and there would be an indeterminate change in equilibrium price

2. An electronics manufacturing firm is currently manufacturing resistors that have a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.00 per unit. Fixed costs are $100,000. Current volume is 300,000 units. The firm can substantially improve the product quality by adding a new piece of equipment at an additional fixed cost of $60,000. Variable cost would increase to $0.60, but volume should jump to 500,000 units due to the higher-quality product. a. Should the firm buy the new equipment? b. What is the minimum price the company would have to charge in order for the new equipment to be worth purchasing (assuming the higher or lower price doesn’t affect the 500,000 unit volume)?

Answers

Answer:

a. Should the firm buy the new equipment?

no, because operating profit will decrease

b. What is the minimum price the company would have to charge in order for the new equipment to be worth purchasing (assuming the higher or lower price doesn’t affect the 500,000 unit volume)?

$1.02 per unit

Explanation:

contribution margin per unit = $0.50

total units sold = 300,000

fixed costs = $100,000

operating income = (300,000 x $0.50) - $100,000 = $50,000

if the firm improves the quality of their products:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

total units sold = 500,000

fixed costs = $160,000

operating income = (500,000 x $0.40) - $160,000 = $40,000

if you want to keep operating income at $50,000 then minimum sales price should be:

500,000 = $210,000 / contribution margin

contribution margin = $210,000 / 500,000 = $0.42

sales price = contribution margin + variable costs = $0.42 + $0.60 = $1.02 per unit

E3-18 Comparing cash and accrual basis accounting and applying the revenue recognition principle Momentous Occasions is a photography business that shoots videos at college parties. The freshman class pays $1,000 in advance on March 3 to guarantee services for its party to be held on April 2. The sophomore class promises a minimum of $2,800 for filming its formal dance and actually pays cash of $4,100 on February 28 at the dance. Answer the following questions about the correct way to account for revenue under the accrual basis:
a. Considering the $1,000 paid by the freshman class, on what date was revenue recognized? Diod the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
b. Considering the $4,100 paid by the sophomore class, on what date was revenue recognized'? Did the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?

Answers

Answer:

Momentous Occasions

a. Revenue of $1,000 is recognized on April 2, though the cash receipt is recorded on March 3 as deferred revenue.  This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.

b. Revenue of $4,100 will be recognized on the date the party is held and not on the February 28 date when the cash was received.  This means that the recognition occurred on a separate date from when the cash was received.

Explanation:

Momentous Occasions is required to recognize revenue on the date the service is performed and not when the cash is received in accordance with the accrual concept, unless it chooses to use the cash basis as a small business.

Here are data on two stocks, both of which have discount rates of 18%: Stock A Stock B Return on equity 18 % 15 % Earnings per share $ 4.60 $ 2.90 Dividends per share $ 2.30 $ 2.30 a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm? (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the proper stock price for each firm? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

a. What are the dividend payout ratios for each firm?

payout ratio stock A = $2.30 / $4.60 = 0.5 = 50%payout ratio stock B = $2.30 / $2.90 = 0.7931 = 79.31%

b. What are the expected dividend growth rates for each stock?

growth rate stock A = 0.18 x (1 - 50%) = 0.09 = 9%growth rate stock B = 0.15 x (1 - 79.31%) = 0.031035 = 3.10%

c. What is the proper stock price for each firm?

stock A's proper price = $2.507 / (0.18 - 0.09) = $27.86stock B's proper price = $2.3713 / (0.18 - 0.031) = $15.91

Why should investors know the difference between nominal and real interest rates?
O to know what they are likely to lose
O to understand changes in monetary policy
to guarantee an investment's profitability
O to recognize the effects of inflation

Answers

Answer:

to recognize the effects of inflation

Explanation:

The nominal rate of interest is the interest earned before adjusting for inflation. The nominal interest rate is simple to recognize and calculate. It is the rate quoted on loans, deposits, bonds, and mutual funds. The nominal rate communicates to the investor the percentage of returns to expect from their investment. The higher the percentage, the better the returns. However, nominal interest does not take account of inflation.

Inflation erode the purchasing power of money. A high inflation rate will mean that any investment gains may not benefit the investor as the currency will have weakened. The real interest rate considers inflation rates. It tells the investor the actual gain from an investment after adjusting for inflation.

Answer:

The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?

first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year

then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year

now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:

Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units

B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?

Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333

Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448

Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853

uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time

downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time

C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144

profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound

total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 22% and a standard deviation of 34%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 31 % Stock B 36 % Stock C 33 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 18%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) b. What are your client’s investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

A.

E(r) = y x R(rp) + (1-y)*rf

0.18 = y * 0.22+(1-y)*0.06

0.18 = 0.22y +0.06 -0.06y

Collect like terms

0.18-0.06 = 0.22y - 0.06y

0.12 = 0.16y

y = 0.12/0.16

= 0.75

= 75%

B.

Stock a = 31% x 0.75

= 0.2325

= 23.25%

Stock b = 36% * 0.75

= 0.27%

Stock c = 33% * 0.75

= 0.2475

= 24.75%

A total of all these stocks gives 100 percent

C.

We have standard deviation = 34%

Y * standard deviation

= 0.75 * 0.34

= 0.255

= 25.5%

Several factors affect a firm’s need for external funds. Evaluate the effect of each following factor and place a check next to each factor that is likely to increase a firm’s need for external capital—that is, its AFN (additional funds needed). Check all that apply. The firm increases its dividend payout ratio. The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast. The firm previously thought its fixed assets were being operated at full capacity, but now it learns that it actually has excess capacity. Dividends to common shareholders are paid out of after-tax earnings. Do these payouts affect a firm’s AFN? No, dividends do not affect a firm’s AFN, because they are paid out of after-tax earnings. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.

Answers

Answer:

1.

The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.

This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.

The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.

If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.

2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.

Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.

why is the GDP become the important factors in decision making in the economic policy?​

Answers

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

GDP is the value of all commodities and services produced within a country's border, in a particular period. Only finished consumer products and services are considered in calculating GDP.

The  GDP value is important because

1. GDP reports the state of a country's economy

An increase in GDP indicates growth in the economy. Growth in real GDP value signifies a health economy that creates adequate job opportunities, increasing incomes, and a wealthier nation. A decline in GDP communicates a recession that requires government

intervention.

2. For investment decisions

Investors use GDP as a reference point when making investment decisions. Declining GDP value indicates bad economic conditions, which will result in lower earnings and reduced stock prices.  Increasing GDP value is associated with good returns and higher stock prices.

How much would a person have to deposit now to be able to withdraw $550 at the end of each year for 20 years from an account that earns 11 percent?
$3.785 95
$4 379 83
54 739 95
$5.076.55

Answers

Answer: $4,379.83

Explanation:

Given the following details:

Periodic payment = $550

Interest rate = 11%

Number of periods = 20 years

Present Value (PV) = P[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

P = periodic payment = $550

r = Interest rate = 11% = 0.11

n = number of periods = 20

PV = 550[(1 - (1 + 0.11)^-20) / 0.11]

PV = 550[(1 - (1.11)^-20) / 0.11]

PV = 550[(1 - 0.1240339) / 0.11]

PV = 550[0.8759660 / 0.11]

PV = 550(7.9633281)

PV = 4379.8304

PV = 4379.83

A random telephone survey of 1021 adults (aged 18 and older) was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CompleteTax, an online tax preparation and e-filing service. The survey results showed that 684 of those surveyed planned to file their taxes electronically.

b. The survey reported that the most frequently used method for preparing the tax return was to hire an accountant or professional tax preparer. If 60% of the people surveyed had their tax return prepared this way, how many people used an accountant or profes-sional tax preparer

Answers

Answer:

a) 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.

b) 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.

Explanation:

Given that;

survey shows 684 of 1021 people would most likely file electronically.

a)

to estimate the percentage of all taxpayers who file electronically, we say;

(684 / 1021) * 100% = 0.6699 = 0.67

therefore 67% of filers surveyed plans to file their taxes electronically.

b)

Given that 60% ( 0.6 ) said they would us professionals, now to find how many people did it this way, we say;

( 60 / 100) * 1021 = 612.6 = 613 (we are talking about number of person)

so 613 people will use the professionals to prepare their taxes.

How much profit could the restaurant earn today?

Answers

Answer:

$1428

Explanation:

Profit = Total Revenue - total cost

total revenue = price x quantity sold

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

total revenue = 223 x $12 = $2676

Variable cost = $5 x 223 = $1115

total fixed cost = $103.00 + $30.00 = $133.00.

Total cost = $1115 + $133 = $1248

profit =  $2676 - $1248 = $1428

Luke will receive:

$80,000 x 15% = $12,000$70,000 salary($200,000 - $168,000) /2 = $16,000total $98,000

The Correct Answer is

1) when there is No agreement concerning the division of net income; then the profits must be divided equally among the partners = $200,000 / 2 = $100,000 for Holly and $100,000 for Luke.

2) when the Divided in the ratio of original capital investment;

Then the Holly should be received $200,000 x ($240,000 / $320,000) = $150,000 After that the Luke will be get the $200,000 - $150,000 = $50,000

3) Then the Interest at the rate of 15% allowed on original investments and also that the remainder divided in the ratio of 2:3;

So that the Holly will receive: So that $240,000 x 15% = $36,000 when ($200,000 - $48,000) x 2/5 = $60,800 the total is $96,800 Therefore Luke will be receive: $80,000 x 15% = $12,000 ($200,000 - $48,000) x 3/5 = $91,200 The total is $103,200

Decision Point: How Can You Help the Sales Team Better Understand the Commission Plan? You remember from your discussion with Sean that, "Many members of the sales team don’t seem to understand the commission system, and many see it as unfair." You study the existing commission plan and don’t see anything as inherently unfair, but you have your suspicions as to who might think it unfair. You speak to a number of sales personnel and discover that it is the newer salespeople who see the commission plan as unfair. Commission rates for sales personnel who have been employed by Swazzi for less than two years are lower than for employees who have been at Swazzi for longer than two years. Newer employees believe they put as much effort into each sale as longer-tenured employees and should be rewarded the same. Using expectancy theory, what would you do to address this problem? Select an option from the choices below and click Submit.

Answers

Question Completion with Options:

*Re-evaluate the existing commission plan to determine whether you can eliminate the perception of unfairness. Re-evaluate the base salaries by comparing them to other upscale clothing stores.

*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel. Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.

*Travel to the stores and explain the system in detail to the sales teams. Tell them you will try to clear up any perceived unfairness once you see whether they are serious about selling

Answer:

*Put all salespeople on the same commission plan regardless of tenure. This will clearly establish a strong relationship between performance and reward for all sales personnel.  Increase the base salaries of longer-tenured salespeople who have worked for Swazzi more than two years to reinforce the relationship between their experience/loyalty and their rewards.

Explanation:

Longer-term sales personnel should be rewarded differently from newer personnel.  But, this differential reward should not be based on the sales commission.  The base salary will be more ideal for this tenure reward.  This will be in line with the Expectancy Theory which states that employees base their individual levels of effort on what is necessary to perform well and earn rewards within the workplace.   The theory also requires that the reward structure is clear with well-defined goals and routine evaluations.  The Expectancy Theory helps workers to put in their best because they are looking forward to some well-defined and clear rewards.

Computing Depreciation, Net Book Value, and Gain or Loss on Asset Sale
Lynch Company owns and operates a delivery van that originally cost $46,400. Lynch has recorded straight-line depreciation on the van for four years, calculated assuming a $5,000 expected salvage value at the end of its estimated six-year useful life. Depreciation was last recorded at the end of the fourth year, at which time Lynch disposes of this van.
A. Compute the net book value of the van on the disposal date.
B. Compute the gain or loss on sale of the van if the disposal proceeds are:
1. A cash amount equal to the van's net book value.
2. $22, 500 cash.
3. $18, 500 cash.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

A. The net book value is

Before that the depreciation expense is

Depreciation per year is

= (Purchase Cost - Residual value) ÷ (Useful life)

= ($46,400 - $5,000) ÷ (6)

= $6,900

Now

A. The Netbook value as on disposal date is

= $46,400 - ($6,900 × 4 years)

= $18,800

B. The gain or loss on the sale of the van is

1. The equivalent amount i.e. gain is $18,800

2. The gain is

= $22,500 - $18,800

= $3,700

3. The loss is

= $18,500 - $18,800

= -$300

May 2 Charlene books a fishing tour with Outdoor Expo for herself and four friends at the group discount price ($1,200 = $240 × 5). The tour is scheduled for May 7.
May 7 The fishing tour occurs. Outdoor Expo asks that payment be made within 30 days of the tour and offers a 6% discount for payment within 15 days.
May 9 Charlene is upset that no one caught a single fish and asks management for a discount. Outdoor Expo has a strict policy of no discounts related to number of fish caught.
May 15 Upon deeper investigation, management of Outdoor Expo discovers that Charlene’s tour was led by a new guide who did not take the group to some of the better fishing spots. In concession, management offers a sales allowance of 30% of the amount due.
May 20 Charlene pays for the tour after deducting the sales allowance.

A municipality is considering an investment in a small renewable energy power plant with the following parameters. The cost is $360,000, and the output averages 50 kW year-round. The price paid for electricity at the plant gate is $0.039/kWh. The investment is to be evaluated over a 25-year time horizon, and the expected salvage value at the end of the project is $20,000. The MARR is 6%.Calculate the NPV of this investment. Is it financially attractive? Calculate the operating credit per kWh which the government would need to give to the investment in order to make it break even financially. Express your answer to the nearest 1/1000th of dollars

Answers

Answer:

this project is not financially attractive because the NPV is negative (-$136,974.74)operating credit per kWh = $0.0245

Explanation:

initial investment = $360,000

yearly cash flows 1 - 24 = 50 x $0.039 x 24 hours x 365 days = $17,082

yearly cash flow year 25 = $17,082 + $20,000 = $37,082

using a financial calculator, the present value of the yearly cash flows = $223,025.26

this project's NPV = -$360,000 + $223,025.26 = -$136,974.74

in order for this project to be profitable, NCFs should be:

$360,000 - ($20,000 / 1.06²⁵) = $355,340.03

annual earnings = $355,340.03 / 12.783 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 25 periods) = $27,797.86

total kWh = 50 x 24 x 365 = 438,000

$27,797.86 / 438,000 = $0.063465 per kWh

operating credit = $0.063465 - $0.039 = $0.0245

This assignment must be at least 200 words. Loyalists, Fence-sitters, and PatriotsPatriots tear down statue of King George III. After patriots tore down the statue of King George III in New York City on July 9, 1776, they melted parts of it down and made bullets to use against the British. It is impossible to know the exact number of American colonists who favored or opposed independence. For years it was widely believed that one third favored the Revolution, one third opposed it, and one third were undecided. This stems from an estimate made by John Adams in his personal writings in 1815.Historians have since concluded that Adams was referring to American attitudes toward the French Revolution, not ours. The current thought is that about 20 percent of the colonists were LOYALISTS those whose remained loyal to England and King George. Another small group in terms of percentage were the dedicated PATRIOTS, for whom there was no alternative but independence.Thomas PaineIn "Common Sense," Thomas Paine argued for independence from Britain and the creation of a democratic republic. Its publication in January 1776 immediately added fuel to the patriots' cause.Even with military victory, it would have been impossible for the Crown to regain the allegiance of the people. Revolution would merely flare up at a later date.The British understood the need to attract American popular support for the parent country, as well. Some colonists who were not persuaded by the political struggle joined the British for personal gain or military glory. Some joined out of sheer loyalty to the Crown they still believed themselves loyal British citizens. There were also many American farmers willing to sell their goods to the British for profit.In the long run, however, the patriots were much more successful attracting support. American patriots won the war of propaganda. Committees of Correspondence persuaded many fence-sitters to join the patriot cause. Writings such as Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" stirred newfound American nationalism.Excerpt of "Common Sense"IN the following pages I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense: and have no other preliminaries to settle with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice and prepossession, and suffer his reason and his feelings to determine for themselves that he will put on, or rather that he will not put off, the true character of a man, and generously enlarge his views beyond the present day ...The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a City, a County, a Province, or a Kingdom; but of a Continent of at least one-eighth part of the habitable Globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed-time of Continental union, faith and honour. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters. Thomas Paine, "Common Sense" (1776)William FranklinThe American Revolution not only separated neighbors and friends, it devastated many families, including the Franklins. William Franklin, pictured here, a Loyalist, rarely, if ever, spoke to his Patriot father Ben after the war.Patriots subjected Loyalists to public humiliation and violence. Many Loyalists found their property vandalized, looted, and burned. The patriots controlled public discourse. Woe to the citizen who publicly proclaimed sympathy to Britain.Families were sometimes divided over the revolution. Benjamin Franklin's son, William, a Loyalist governor of New Jersey, supported the British effort during the war.What Happened to the Loyalists?In the end, many Loyalists simply left America. About 80,000 of them fled to Canada or Britain during or just after the war. Because Loyalists were often wealthy, educated, older, and Anglican, the American social fabric was altered by their departure. American history brands them as traitors. But most were just trying to maintain the lifestyles to which they had become accustomed. After all, history is always written by the winners. 6thousandths times 8 A scientist is studying two types of worms. Worm X has DNA identical to its parent.
