What must be the first cost of Alternative B to make the two alternatives equally attractive economically at an interest rate of 8% per year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "21,622.98".

Explanation:

In the given question some information is missing, which can be defined in the given attachment.

To calculate the first cost we first subtract B cost is to X.      

NPV = Cash Flow of the sum of PV amount  

[tex]PV = \frac{Flow of cash} {(1+i)^n} \\\\ \ Calculating \ the \ NPV \ of \ option \ A: \\\\[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{-16600}{(1 + 0.08)^0}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^1}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^2} -\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^3}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^4}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{-16600}{1}-\frac{2400}{1.08}-\frac{2400}{1.16}-\frac{2400}{1.25}-\frac{2400}{1.36}[/tex]

[tex]=-16600-2222.22-2068.96-1920-1764.70\\\\=-24,575.88[/tex]

The value of Option A or NPV = -24,575.88

The value of Option B or NPV:

[tex]=-\frac{X}{(1 + 0.80)^0}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^1} -\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^2}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^3}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^4} \\\\ =-\frac{X}{(1.80)^0}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^1} -\frac{1000}{(1.08)^2}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^3}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^4}[/tex]

[tex]= -\frac{X}{1}-\frac{1000}{1.08}-\frac{1000}{1.16}-\frac{1000}{1.25}-\frac{1000}{1.36}\\\\= -X -555.55-862.06-800-735.29\\\\=-X -2952.9[/tex]

The value of Option B or NPV = -X -2952.9

As demanded  

In Option B  the value of NPV = In Option A  the value of  NPV  

[tex]-X -2952.9= -24,575.88\\\\-X= -21,622.98\\\\X=21,622.98\\[/tex]

A company makes a product that sells for $80 per unit. Variable expenses are $40.00 per unit, and fixed expenses total $200,000 per year. Its operating results for last year were as follows: Sales $ 2,080,000 Variable expenses 1,040,000 Contribution margin 1,040,000 Fixed expenses 200,000 Net operating income $ 840,000 The company president wants to add new features to the product, which will increase the variable expenses by $1.90 per unit. She thinks that the new features, combined with some increase in marketing spending, would increase this year's sales by 25%. How much could the president increase this year's fixed marketing expense and still earn the same $840,000 net operating income as last year

Answers

Answer:

The president could increase this year's fixed marketing expense and still earn the same $840,000 net operating income as last year if the increase in fixed marketing expense does not exceed in total amount than $198,250.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income Statement         Last Year's         This Year's

Sales                          $ 2,080,000        $2,600,000 ($2,080,000 x 1.25)

Variable expenses        1,040,000             1,361,750 (32,500 x $41.90)

Contribution margin     1,040,000          $1,238,250

Fixed expenses              200,000               398,250 ($198,250)

Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $230,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 1/4. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense.
1. Using the implied selling price of 117 1/4, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds.
2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?
3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?

Answers

Answer:

A.$269,675

B.$305,325

C.$10,787

Explanation:

Requirement A Cash proceeds

Cash proceeds can find out by multiplying par value with the selling price

Cash proceeds = Par Value x Selling price

Cash proceeds = $230,000 x 117.25%

Cash proceeds = $269,675

Requirement B Interest Expense

Bond interest expense =Total repayment -Amount borrowed(REQ.A)

Bond interest expense = $575,000(w) - $269,675

Bond interest expense = $305,325

Workings

Semi-annual interest expense =  $230,000 x 10% x 6/12

Semi-annual interest expense = $11,500

Total payment would be 30 for 15 years

Total payment = $11,500 x 30

Total payment = $345,000

Total repayment = Par value + $345,000

Total repayment = $230,000 + $345,000

Total repayment = $575,000

Requirement C Bond interest expense on the first interest payment date

Bond interest Expense = $269,675(REQ.A) x 8% x 6/12

Bond interest Expense = $10,787

You own two different energy drink brands with similar elasticities: "Blue Cow" and "600 minute energy." If you reduce the price on "Blue Cow", you can only increase your total sales if

Answers

Answer: b. Prices for “600 minute energy” are reduced

Explanation:

The drinks have similar elasticities so they are substitutes. This means that reducing the price of one will cause people to demand less of the other drink. By reducing the price of "Blue Cow", there will be less demand for "600 minute energy".

To increase total sales therefore, the effects of the decrease in the price of Blue Cow must be counteracted. To do so, the price of 600 minute energy must be reduced as well. This way people will demand the two drinks more. This reduction will draw in people buying other drinks apart from these 2 thereby increasing total sales.

Suppose investors can earn a return of 2% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for?

Answers

Answer:

Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92

Explanation:

The price of the treasury note would be the present value of the future receivable on maturity discounted at the rate of return of 2% per six-month.

The formula is FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

PV = Present Value- ?

FV - Future Value, - 10,000

n- number of years- 1/2

r- interest rate - 2%

PV = 10,000 × (1.02)^(-1)

PV = 9,803.92

Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92

Suppose output is $35 billion, government purchases are $10 billion, desired consumption is $15 billion, and desired investment is $6 billion. Net foreign lending would be equal to

Answers

Answer:

Net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

Explanation:

This can be computed using the formula for computing the total output of an open economy as follows:

Y = C + G + I + NX .................................. (1)

Where;

Y = Total Output = $35 billion

C = Desired consumption = $15 billion

G = Government purchases = $10 billion

I = Desired investment = $6 billion

NX = Net foreign lending = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for NX, we have:

$35 = $15 + $10 + $6 + NX

$35 - $15 - $10 - $6 = NX

NX = $4 billion

Therefore, net foreign lending would be equal to $4 billion.

Ben has ​$500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal​ after-tax interest rate and the real​ after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.

Answers

Answer:

Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%

Explanation:

The Nominal rate is 10%

Inflation rate is 6%

And Tax rate is 20%

Nominal after-tax interest rate

= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)

= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)

= 8%

Real After-Tax Interest Rate

= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate

= 8% - 6%

= 2%

The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The fiduciary duty of care also called duty of care is the fudicaiary responsibility that requires board directors of a company to act and make decisions in good faith, having the best interest of the company in mind. This duty(whether written or implied) makes board directors responsible in ensuring that decisions made for the company are sound, ethical and legal.

In the above example, board directors of the suds corporation may have not performed this duty as required but this would depend on thorough investigation to ascertain the method and process by which the decision was arrived on. For instance, we are sure the decision was legal and also ethical(as they were only out to improve on company products and increase revenue likewise), we are not sure however of the soundness of this decision. This leads us to investigate the processes and results obtained from enquiring/researching on this new product decided on by the board. Therefore was it sound according to these results and processes. This is where evidence of a breach of duty by the board may be found

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 5%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $105 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 5% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 500,000 5,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 248,000 4,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 200,000 12,500 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 450,000 450,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 602,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,000,000

Total Selling and Administrative Expenses                         $5,970

Cost of medical supplies =                  $30,000

Selling and administrative expenses = $5,970

Fixed costs =                                          $2,571

($5,970/$1,398,000 x $602,000)

Total Cost =                                         $38,541

Selling price                                      $40,468.05

b) The case stated that both University and Memorial had purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 to buy from its manufacturers.  This implies that each hospital did not buy supplies that had cost Worley $30,000 for each.  Based on this assumed fact from the case, the total revenue that Worley would collect from the two hospitals after keying in the selling and distribution and head office fixed costs, to get a total cost of $38,541.00 and adding the 5% markup, the revenue that Worley would receive would be $40,468.05 ($38,541 x 1.05).

A company’s perpetual preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $2.10 per share. The preferred stock’s market value is $36.04 per share and the company’s tax rate is 30%. If the flotation costs for preferred stock are 6%, what is the company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing? Question 4 options: 1) 5.87% 2) 7.25% 3) 6.54% 4) 6.20% 5) 5.41%

Answers

Answer:

6.20%

Explanation:

The company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing is the annual dividend payable on the preferred stock divided by the net price of the stock

annual dividend is $2.10

net price=market price*(1-flotation cost %)

net price=$36.04 *(1-6%)

net price=$ 33.88  

company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing=$2.10/$33.88

company’s annual cost of new preferred stock financing==6.20%

What is the difference in the present worth between an investment of $10,000 per year for 50 years and an investment of $10,000 per year forever at an interest rate of 10% per year

Answers

Answer:

Difference in Present Value = $ 851.86

Explanation:

The fist scheme is an annuity. A series of fixed cash flow occurring annually for certain period of time. We can determine the present value of the annuity using the formula below:

PV = A × (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

10,000 × (1- 1.10^(-50))/0.1  =99,148.14

The second scheme is a perpetuity . A series of fixed cash inflow occurring  for the unforeseeable future

PV = A × 1/r

PV = 10,000×   1/0.1= 100,000

Difference in PV = 100,000  - 99,148.14= 851.855

Difference in Present Value = $ 851.86

On January 1, Beckman, Inc., acquires 60 percent of the outstanding stock of Calvin for $54,480. Calvin Co. has one recorded asset, a specialized production machine with a book value of $10,000 and no liabilities. The fair value of the machine is $78,000, and the remaining useful life is estimated to be 10 years. Any remaining excess fair value is attributable to an unrecorded process trade secret with an estimated future life of 4 years. Calvin’s total acquisition date fair value is $90,800.

At the end of the year, Calvin reports the following in its financial statements:


Revenues 65,550   Machine 13,590   Common stock 10,000
Expenses 29,250   Other assets 27,710  Retained earnings 31,300
Net income 36,300 Total assets 41,300  Total equity 41,300
Dividends paid 5,000

Required:

Determine the amounts that Beckman should report in its year-end consolidated financial statements for noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income, noncontrolling interest, Calvin’s machine (net of accumulated depreciation), and the process trade secret.

Answers

Answer:

Beckman noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income $10,520

Calvin Machine (net of accumulated depreciation) $71,200

Explanation:

To calculate noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's income;

Revenue    $65,550

Expenses   $39,250 (29,250 + $6,800 + $3,200)

Net Income $26,300

Noncontrolling percentage = 40%

NonControlling Income = $10,520

Depreciation of Machine = [tex]\frac{Fair value of Machine - Book value}{estimated useful life}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{78,000 - 10,000}{10 years}[/tex] = 6,800 per annum

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{Fair Value Total - Machine value}{Useful life}[/tex]

Amortization of trade secrets = [tex]\frac{90,800 - 78,000}{4 years}[/tex]

= 3,200

Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.00 per guest check-in, $20.00 per room cleaning, and $4.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total activity-based cost for Washington's visit during the month. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $172

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

guest check-in= $8 per guest check-in

room cleaning= $20 per room

meal service= $4 per served meal

Julie Washington visited the hotel for a 7-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit.

To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

guest check-in= 8*1= 8

room cleaning= 20*7= 140

meal service= 4*6= 24

Total cost= $172

A. $1,400,000
B. $2,100,000
C. $2,520,000
D. $2,550,000

Answers

Answer:

A. $1,400,000

Explanation:

Amount to be allocated = Auction price / Total individual price * Truck price

Auction price = $4,200,000

Total individual price =  $1,425,000  + $2,100,000  + 1,575,000 + $2,550,000 = $7,650,000

Truck price = $2,550,000

Amount to be allocated = ($4,200,000 / $7,650,000) * $2,550,000

Amount to be allocated = $1,400,000

Suppose that on January 1, the cost of borrowing French francs for the year is 18%. During the year, U.S. inflation is 5%, and French inflation is 9%. At the same time, the exchange rate changes from FF 1 = $0.15 on January 1 to FF 1 = $0.10 on December 31. What was the real U.S. dollar cost of borrowing francs (real interest rate in U.S.) for the year?

Answers

Answer:

-25.08%.

Explanation:

Given that, during the year, the franc devalued by (0.15 - 0.10)/0.15 = 33.33%.

Then, the nominal dollar cost of borrowing French francs, therefore, was 0.18(1 - 0.3333) - 0.3333 = -21.33%.

Thus, for each dollar's worth of francs borrowed on January 1, it cost only $1 - $0.2133 = $0.7867 to repay the principal plus interest.

Also, with U.S. inflation of 5% during the year, the real dollar cost of repaying the principal and interest is $0.7867/1.05 = $0.7492.

Subtracting the original $1 borrowed, it shows that the real dollar cost of repaying the franc loan is -$0.2508 or a real dollar interest rate of -25.08%.

Which of the following is the easiest but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments?
A. Sequential method
B. Activity-based management method
C. Reciprocal services method
D. Direct method

Answers

Answer:

D. Direct method

Explanation:

Cost allocation in financial accounting can be defined as the process of identifying, gathering and assigning of cost across multiple cost objects such as products, inventory or departments.

There are various types of cost allocation methods and these are;

1. Sequential method.

2. Activity-based management method.

3. Reciprocal services method.

4. Direct method.

The direct method is an allocation method for cost, where costs of the production service department are directly allocated to the production (operating) department of a firm or business entity using appropriate allocation base and then allocated to the product itself.

Generally, the direct method is the easiest (simplest) but least accurate of the commonly used methods for allocating support department costs to production departments.

If these are the firm's only options, which one would you advise it to choose? Why?
a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.
b. Manufacture the product at home and set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Europe to handle marketing.

Answers

Answer:

Correct Answer:

a. Manufacture the product at home and let foreign sales agents handle marketing.

Explanation:

For the small Canadian company, manufacturing the product at home (Canada) would afford them the opportunity to protect their new medical product from piracy. Also, they would be able to receive tax incentives from their government as well file for patent of their new innovation.

The foreign agent would strictly be focused on the marketing of the finished product without having access to the detailed information of the product.
