Answer:
a) i. Direct labor rate variance = Quantity of direct labor used * (Actual rate for direct labor - Standard rate for direct labor)
= 5,000*(22.75-24)
= -6,250 (Favorable)
ii. Direct labor time variance = Standard rate for direct labor * (Quantity of direct labor used - Bicycles completed in October * Standard direct labor per bicycle)
= 24 * (5000 - 800 * 6)
= 4,800 (Unfavorable)
iii. Total Direct labor cost variance = (Quantity of direct labor used * Actual rate for direct labor) - (Bicycles completed in October * Standard direct labor per bicycle * Standard rate for direct labor)
= (5000 * 22.75) - (800 * 6 * 24)
= -1450 (Favorable)
Answer:
The total cost variance of labor will be "-1,450 (favorable)". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
According the question,
Direct labor rate variance will be:
⇒ [tex]5000\times (22.75-24)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5000\times (-1.25)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]-6,250 \ (favorable)[/tex]
Direct labor time variance will be:
⇒ [tex]24\times (5000-800\times 6)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]24\times 200[/tex]
⇒ [tex]4,800 \ (unfavorable)[/tex]
Now,
The Total Direct labor cost variance will be:
⇒ [tex](5000\times 22.75)-(800\times 6\times 24)[/tex]
⇒ [tex](113,750)-(115,200)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]-1,450 \ (favorable)[/tex]
Kathy and Annise are a married couple who file jointly. In the current year, they have net ordinary income of $10,000 from a partnership interest in which they do not materially participate. They also have a net loss of $30,000 from a rent house in which they actively participate. Their adjusted gross income (AGI) exclusive of these investments is $120,000. What is their AGI after taking into account these investments
Answer:
$100,000
Explanation:
As Kathy and Annise are a married couple who file jointly, their revised AGI can be calculated by deducting a net loss from the adjusted gross income.
DATA
Current AGI = $120,000
Rental loss = $30,000
Partnership gain = $10,000
Revised AGI = Current AGI - Net loss
Revised AGI = 120,000 – 20,000(w)
Revised AGI = 100,000
Working
Net loss = Rental loss – partnership gain
Net loss = $30,000 - $10,000
Net loss = $20,000
NOTE: Kathy and Annise can deduct 20,000 loss against other income as they materially participate in rental activities.
Sanders, a 62-year-old single individual, sold his principal residence for the net amount of $500,000 after all selling expenses. Sanders bought the house 15 years ago and has occupied it until it sold. On the date of sale, the house had a cost basis of $200,000. Within six months, Sanders purchased a new house for $600,000. What amount of gain should Sanders recognize from the sale of the residence g
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
Recognized gain can be calculated by deducting the exclusion available from the realized gain. To qualify for exclusion from the realized gain Sanders has met all the requirements of exclusion.
NOTE: Requirments for exclusion are given at the end of solution
DATA
Sale proceeds = $500,000
Cost basis = $200,000
exclusion available for single person = $250,000
Gain =?
Calculation
Realized gain on sale of home = Sale proceeds – Cost basis
Realized gain on sale of home = $500,000 - $200,000
Realized gain on sale of home = $300,000
Recognized gain = Realized gain - exclusion available
Recognized gain = $300,000 - $250,000
Recognized gain = $50,000
Requirements for exclusion
1. You've owned the home for two of the last five years.
2. You used the home as your principal residence for two of the last five years.
3. You haven't used the exclusion on another property sale within the last two years.

Answer:
1. hurt
2. benefit
Explanation:
Given that a contract and an asset are to be converted in cash early, this implies that, basis risk exists and futures price and spot price should not move in lockstep before delivery date. However, a reduction in the basis will then hurt the long hedger and benefit the short hedger.
Hence, considering the nature of the hypothetical situation, a decrease in the basis will HURT a long hedge and BENEFIT a short hedge.
if N lekin's beginning capital balance shown on a statement of owner's equity is 100,000. net income for the period is
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
The computation of the owner's capital balance at the end of the period is shown below:-
Owner's Capital balance at the end = Capital balance in the beginning + Additional investments + Net Income - Withdrawals
= $100,000 + 0 + $50,000 - $25,000
= $125,000
Therefore for computing the owner's capital balance at the end we simply applied the above formula.

The beginning work in process inventory in a particular department consisted of 20,500 units, 100% complete with respect to materials cost and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. The total cost in the beginning work in process inventory was $26,200. A total of 58,000 units were transferred out of the department during the month. The costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $2.10 for materials and $3.80 for conversion costs. The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:
Answer:
The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was: $342,200.
Explanation:
First calculate the Total Cost per Equivalent unit.
Total Cost per Equivalent unit :
Materials $2.10
Conversion $3.80
Total $5.90
Total cost of the units completed and transferred out = Units completed and transferred out × Total Cost per Equivalent unit
= 58,000 units × $5.90
= $342,200
On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $71,000 and $2,900, respectively. During the year Kincaid reported $190,000 of credit sales. Kincaid wrote off $1,750 of receivables as uncollectible in Year 2. Cash collections of receivables amounted to $227,700. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales.
The net realizable value of receivables appearing on Kincaid's Year 2 balance sheet will amount to:
a) $29,650.
b) $28,500.
c) $33,300.
d) $31,550.
Answer:
b) $28,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value of receivables is shown below:
As we know that
Net realizable value = Gross account receivable - allowance for doubtful debts
where,
Gross account receivable is
= Beginning balance of the account receivable + credit sales - written off amount - collections
= $71,000 + $190,000 - $1,750 - $227,700
= $31,550
And, the allowance for doubtful debts is
= Beginning balance of allowance for doubtful debts - written off + allowance needed
= $2,900 - $1,750 + $190,000 × 1%
= $3,050
So, the net realizable value is
= $31,550 - $3,050
= $28,500
hence, the correct option is b. $28,500
World Class Rings produces class rings. Its best-selling model has a direct materials standard of 16 grams of a special alloy per ring. This special alloy has a standard cost of $63.30 per gram. In the past month, the company purchased 16,800 grams of this alloy at a total cost of $1,061,760. A total of 16,300 grams were used last month to produce 1,000 rings.
Requirements:
1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.
2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The_____direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a______. As a result, the company______quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the_____quantity (efficiency) variance.
Answer:
1. What is the actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) The actual cost per gram of the special alloy that World Class Rings purchased last month is $_____.
= $1,061,760 / 16,800 grams = $63.20 per gram
2. What is the direct material price variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for direct materials.
direct materials price variance = (AP - SP) x AQ = ($63.20 - $63.30) x 16,300 = -$1,630 favorable variance
3.·What is the direct material quantity variance? (Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials) Determine the formula for the quantity variance, then compute the quantity variance for direct materials.
direct materials quantity variance = SP x (AQ - SQ) = $63.30 x (16,300 - 16,000) = $18,990 unfavorable variance
4. How might the direct material price variance for the company last month be causing the direct material quantity variance?
The FAVORABLE direct material price variance might mean that World Class Rings purchased a LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL. As a result, the company USED MORE ALLOW THAN STANDARD quantity (efficiency) variance alloy than the standard allows. This accounts for the UNFAVORABLE quantity (efficiency) variance.
According to the World Banks's world development indicators, real gross domestic product (GDP) in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 was about $1.65 trillion . What percentage of sub-Saharan Africa's real GDP is the E.U. emergency trust fund
Answer:
0.12%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is shown below:-
E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP is
= (Amount of Plans ÷ Real gross domestic product) × 100
= (2 billion ÷ 1.65 trillion) × 100
= 0.12%
Therefore for computing the E.U. emergency trust fund as a percentage of sub-Saharan GDP we simply applied the above formula.
ABC paid $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable, $10,000 interest on long-term bonds, and $6,000 in dividends on its common stock. ABC would report cash outflows from activities, as follows:
A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.
B) Operating, $0; Financing $18,000.
C) Operating, $18,000; Financing $0.
D) Operating, $2,000; Financing $16,000.
Answer: A) Operating, $12,000; Financing $6,000.
Explanation:
Operating Activities deal with the cashflow related to the operations of the business and it's short term obligations. Interest payments on loans are short term and are considered part of normal business operations so the outflow from Operating activities is;
= $2,000 interest on short-term notes payable + $10,000 interest on long-term bonds
= $12,000
Financing Activities relate to cash-flow surrounding the capital of the firm. This includes Equity and long term debt. Dividends have the impact of reducing equity and so will fall under Financing activities.
Dividends = Financing = $6,000
Factor Company is planning to add a new product to its line. To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $620,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $34,000 salvage value. All sales are for cash, and all costs are out-of-pocket, except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round PV factor value to 4 decimal places.) Expected annual sales of new product $ 2,190,000 Expected annual costs of new product Direct materials 494,000 Direct labor 686,000 Overhead (excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine) 476,000 Selling and administrative expenses 174,000 Income taxes 30 % Required: 1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machine’s life. 2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machine’s life. 3. Compute this machine’s payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. 4. Compute this machine’s accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year. 5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 4% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Hint: Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the asset’s life.)
Answer:
1) depreciation expense per year = $146,500
2) net income:
years 1 - 4 = $149,450
net cash flows:
year 0 = -$620,000
year 1 = $295,950
year 2 = $295,950
year 3 = $295,950
year 4 = $329,950
3) payback period = 2.09 years
4) accounting rate of return = 24.1%
5) net present value (NPV) = $483,330.83
Explanation:
purchase cost of the machine $620,000
depreciation expense per year = ($620,000 - $34,000) / 4 = $146,500
expected annual sales $2,190,000
direct materials $494,000
direct labor $686,000
overhead (excluding depreciation) $476,000
S&A expenses $174,000
total costs (excluding depreciation) = $1,830,000
income taxes 30%
net income per year = ($2,190,000 - $1,830,000 - $146,500) x 70% = $149,450
net cash flow (years 1 - 3) = $149,450 + $146,500 = $295,950
net cash flow (year 4) = $149,450 + $146,500 + $34,000 = $329,950
payback period = $620,000 / $295,950 = 2.09 years
accounting rate of return = $149,450 / $620,000 = 24.1%
NPV, using a financial calculator = $483,330.83
Consider a situation where a firm owned by you is competing against an identical rival firm. You are able to choose how much of your good (quantity) to supply to the market. You are given the option to set your quantity first, wait and let your rival set their quantity, or have both you and your rival set their quantities at the same time. What should you do
Available Options Are:
A. Set your quantity first.
B. Set your quantity second.
C. Set your quantity at the same time.
D. It doesn't matter.
Answer:
Option A. Set your quantity first.
Explanation:
The Cournot Equilibrium says that the decisions are made simultaneously and this simultaneous decision is that each firm will choose its own quantity, given what quantity of output its rival has set. Every firm will be producing a quantity that maximizes its profits and this approach will lower the profits because of Cournot Equilibrium.
The firm that sets its quantity first is at better position because the other firms might think about the worse market condition taking Cournot effect into account.
The optimal choice would be to set our quantity first, hence the option A is the right option.
Which of the following is a plausible explanation for the difference between the net change in fund balances of governmental funds (fund-level statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances) and the change in net position of governmental activities (government-wide statement of activities)?
a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
b. Amounts reported as expenditures in the statement of activities are reported as capital assets in the fund-level statements.
c. Debt proceeds provide current financial resources in the statement of activities, but are reported as long-term liabilities in the fund-level statements
d. Depreciation of general fixed assets is not reported as an expense in the statement of activities, but it is reported as an expense in the fund-level
Answer:
a. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
Explanation:
Governments maintain a statement of activities that are carried out, and fund-level statements are also maintained to track expenses of government.
When there is a disparity between the two, a plausible explanation will be that some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and are not reported as expenditures in the fund-level statements.
For example some long term project that is carried out by the government may be treated by creating a budget. These expenses will not be recognized in the current expenses that make up fund-level expenses.
"In using the net present value approach, a project is acceptable if the project's net present value is ____________ or_______________."
Answer:
Zero or Positive.
Explanation:
The project should be accepted if the NPV (net present value) is “zero” or “positive” because the zero value means that the project will not be in loss. However, the positive value shows that the project will give profit. But if there is a negative value of net present value then it reflects that the project is giving a loss. Therefore, the project with negative NPV must be rejected. And the project that has zero net present value or positive net present value should be accepted.
The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the: A. Trade margin B. Gross marketing contribution C. Net marketing contribution D. All of the above
Answer:
A. Trade margin
Explanation:
The profit obtained from trading operations is known as gross profit or trade margin.This is calculated as sales less costs of goods sold.
The difference between total sales revenue and total cost of goods sold is the gross marketing contribution.
The following information is considered:
When the cost of goods sold is deducted from the sales revenue so the gross marketing contribution should come. Neither it is trade margin, nor net marketing contribution.In other words, the difference is called as gross margin.Therefore we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Which of the following is a true statement about the limitation on business interest deductions? This limitation is not imposed on businesses with average annual gross receipts of $25 million of less for the prior three taxable years. A. Interest disallowed by this limitation is carried back three years and then forward five years B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income C. This limitation is not imposed on businesses with average annual gross receipts of $26 million or less for the prior three taxable years D. All of the choices are false E. All of the choices are true
Answer:
Limitation on Business Interest Deductions:
B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income
Explanation:
30% (or 50% for years 2019 and 2020, as amended by the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of a business is the limit of business interest expense that is allowed by the IRS. The excess after this limitation may be carried forward by the tax paying organization to future tax years indefinitely until the interest expense is completely applied.
Following the CARES Act, "the business interest expense deduction limitation does not apply to certain small businesses whose gross receipts are $26 million or less, electing real property trades or businesses, electing farming businesses, and certain regulated public utilities. The $26 million gross receipts threshold, which applies for the 2020 tax year, is adjusted annually for inflation."

Explanation:
Technology positive research can be said to be a scientific method which explain elaborately on the approach that is seen to deal with research founded on the premise of the modern world is been defined by a set of regular laws or patters, and that we can investigate these laws. Generally, it is known that positivity brings open doors and also a level ground for normal discussions with even people that have spent barely few hours with a said person. This research method is also been seen as the type where theory is typically provided as a set of related variables express by some form of formal logic, proven empirically to be significant.
You have $. You put % of your money in a stock with an expected return of %, $ in a stock with an expected return of %, and the rest in a stock with an expected return of %. What is the expected return of your portfolio?
Answer: 16.26%
Explanation:
The expected return is the weighted average of the returns of the constituent stocks in the portfolio.
Weights.
Stock A = 20%
Stock B
= 30,000/70,000
= 0.4286
Stock C
= 70,000 - 30,000 - (20% * 70,000)
= 70,000 - 30,000 - 14,000
= $26,000
= 26,000/70,000
= 0.3714
Expected return = ( 0.2 * 12%) + ( 0.4286* 15%) + ( 0.3714 * 20%)
= 0.024 + 0.06429 + 0.07428
= 0.16257
= 16.26%

Exercise 6-4A Part 2
2. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.
Answer:
Ending Inventory = $1,716.00
Cost of Sales = $15,069.00
Sales Revenue = $20,910.00
Gross Profit = $5,841.00
Explanation:
FIFO Method assumes that the first goods received by the busines will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.
Ending Inventory :
Under FIFO, any remaining inventory will be valued as if they were the latest goods purchased.
Ending Inventory : 44 units × $39.00 = $1,716.00
Cost of Goods Sold Calculation :
Cost of Sales : 41 units × $33.00 = $1,353.00
121 units × $35.00 = $4,235.00
191 units × $38.00 = $7,258.00
57 units × $39.00 = $2,223.00
Total = $15,069.00
Sales Revenue Calculation ;
Sales Revenue = Units Sold × Selling Price
= 410 units × $51
= $20,910.00
Gross Profit Calculation :
Sales $20,910.00
Less Cost of Goods Sold ($15,069.00)
Gross Profit $5,841.00
Suppose the tax rate on nominal interest income is 20% and does not change over time. Also assume the real interest rate remains constant. In year 1, the inflation rate is 4% and the nominal interest rate is 10%. In year 2, the inflation rate is 14% The real interest rate in both years is 16 The nominal interest rate in year 2 is 20 The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 1 is 7.
a. The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 2 is __________
b. The after-tax real interest rate in year 1 is ______________
c. The after-tax real interest rate in year 2 is ______________
Answer:
a. The after-tax nominal interest rate in year 2 is __________
after tax nominal interest rate = 20% x (1 - tax rate ) = 20% x 0.8 = 16%
b. The after-tax real interest rate in year 1 is ______________
after tax real interest rate = [(1 + after tax nominal interest rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
after tax nominal interest rate yer 1 = 10% x 0.8 = 8%
inflation rate = 4%
after tax real interest rate = [1.08 / 1.04] - 1 = 3.85%
c. The after-tax real interest rate in year 2 is ______________
after tax real interest rate = [(1 + after tax nominal interest rate) / (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
after tax nominal interest rate yer 1 = 16%
inflation rate = 4%
after tax real interest rate = [1.16 / 1.14] - 1 = 1.75%
Explanation:
year 1
inflation rate 4%
nominal interest rate 10%
real interest rate 6%
year 2
inflation rate 14%

Assume that interest rates on 15-year noncallable Treasury and corporate bonds with different ratings are as follows: T-bond = 7.72% A = 9.64% AAA = 8.72% BBB = 10.18% The differences in rates among these issues were most probably caused primarily by:
Answer:
Investors are risk averse, which means that they are willing to invest in low risk projects or investments. In order for an investor to invest in a riskier project, he/she will expect to receive higher returns to compensate for the extra risk. US Treasury bonds are probably the safest investments in the world, that is why they yield the lowest interest rate. AAA bonds are less risky than BBB bonds, which in turn are less risky than CCC bonds. That is why AAA bonds yield a lower return than BBB bonds, and BBB bonds yield a lower return than CCC bonds.

Slow 'n Steady, Inc., has a stock price of , will pay a dividend next year of , and has expected dividend growth of per year. What is your estimate of Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital
Answer:
Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital is 11%.
Explanation:
Note: The question is not complete as the important data are committed. The full question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Slow n' steady Inc, has a stock price of $30, will pay a dividend next year of $3, and has expected dividend growth of 1% per year. what is your estimate of slow n steady's cost of equity capital?
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
The cost of equity can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula for calculating current stock price
The GGM has the assumption that there will be a stable dividend growth rate year after year forever.
Tje GGM formula is given as follows:
P = d1 / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = Current share price = $30
d1 = Next year dividend = $3
r = Required rate of return or cost of equity = ?
g = Expected dividend growth rate = 1%, or 0.01
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for r, we have:
30 = 3 / (r - 0.01)
r - 0.01 = 3 / 30
r - 0.01 = 0.10
r = 0.10 + 0.01
r = 0.11, or 11%
Therefore, Slow 'and Steady cost of equity capital is 11%.

Hank purchased a $28,000 car two years ago using an 8 percent, 5-year loan. He has decided that he would sell the car now, if he could get a price that would pay off the balance of his loan. What is the minimum price Hank would need to receive for his car
Answer:
$18,117.58
Explanation:
the question requires that we find the minimum price Hank would need to receive his first car.
loan = $28,000
rate = 0.08/12 = 0.0067
the monthly payment can be calculated as:
loan /[0.0067/1-(1/(0.0067)^60))]
= 28000/[1-1/(1.0067^60)/0.0067]
= 28000/(1-(1/1.0067)^60)/0.0067
= $567.74
The minimum price can be calculated as:
pmt = 567.74 x [(1-(1/1.0067^36))/0.0067) x 0.0067
= $18,117.58

"The principle stating that assets acquired by the business should be recorded at their actual cost on the date of purchase is:"
Answer:
The answer is historical cost principle
Explanation:
Historical cost principle is a principle in which the asset and the liability are being reported at the actual money in which they were purchased. This actual amount in which they were purchased is their historical cost.
For example, a company bought a machinery five years ago for $2million and the expected life of the machinery is five years. After there years, the machine has a carrying amount of $1.2 million on the balance sheet. The historical cost of this asset is $2million.
Hunt Inc. intends to invest in one of two competing types of computer-aided manufacturing equipment: CAM X and CAM Y. Both CAM X and CAM Y models have a project life of 10 years. The purchase price of the CAM X model is $3,600,000, and it has a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $900,000. The CAM Y model is more expensive, selling for $4,200,000, but it will produce a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $1,050,000. The cost of capital for the company is 10%.
Required:
Calculate the NPV for each project.
Answer:
NPV of CAM X = $1,930,110.40
NPV of CAM Y = $2,251,795.46
Explanation:
The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of present value (PV) for each project
The PV for each project can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV of a project = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
For CAM X
P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $900,000
r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of project life = 10
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV of CAM X = $900,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]
PV of CAM X = $900,000 * 6.14456710570468
PV of CAM X = $5,530,110.40
For CAM Y
P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $1,050,000
r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of project life = 10
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]
PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * 6.14456710570468
PV of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46
Step 2: Calculation of net present value (NPV) for each project
The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following formula:
NPV of each project = PV of each equipment - Purchase price of each equipment ........ (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
NPV of CAM X = PV of CAM X - Purchase price of CAM X = $5,530,110.40 - $3,600,000 = $1,930,110.40
NPV of CAM Y = PV of CAM Y - Purchase price of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46 - $4,200,000 = $2,251,795.46
Additional Note:
Although this not part of the requirement of the question, but note that the final decision is that since the positive NPV of $2,251,795.46 for CAM Y is gereater than the positive NPV of $1,930,110.40 for CAM X, Hunt Inc. will choose to invest in CAM Y.
