It has been said that Earned Value Management (EVM) came about because the Federal Government often used "Cost-plus" contractors with project organizations. Cost-plus contracting allows the contractor to recover full project development costs plus accumulate profit from these contracts. Why would requiring contractor firms to employ earned value management help the government hold the line against project cost overruns?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Earned Value Management (EVM)

The Federal Government requires contractor firms to employ earned value management because it enables it to assess the work that has been completed against an established baseline plan in terms of technical, time, and cost performance.

Armed with this information, it is in a better position to make important project decisions and help to control over-spending.

Explanation:

Earned value management (EVM) as a integrated project management methodology details the project time schedule, costs, and scope to ensure correct measurement of project performance.  Using planned and actual values, EVM enables future predictions, improving the ability of project managers to adjust according to requirements.

Truck-Or-Treat specializes in leasing trucks to delivery companies. It is considering adding 25 more trucks to its available stock. Doing so will not change the risk of the company's business. The trucks depreciate over five years under the straight-line depreciation method, all the way to zero. Truck-Or-Treat believes that these newly added trucks would be able to bring the company $220,000 in annual earnings before taxes and depreciation (i.e., sales revenue minus costs of goods sold) for five years. The company is unlevered. It is in 21 percent tax rate bracket. The required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity is 15 percent. The risk-free rate, e.g., the Treasury bill rate, is 6 percent per year.

Required:
Calculate the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company. (In other words, what should be the "initial investment" of this unlevered truck project such that the project's NPV equals $0?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

Explanation:

Let:

x = Maximum price for the new truck = initial investment = ?

AEBTD = Annual earnings before taxes and depreciation = $220,000

T = Tax rate = 21%, or 0.21

n = Number of years = 5

Since the it is assumed that Truck-or-Treat remains an unlevered company, this implies the required annual rate of return on Truck-Or-Treat's unlevered equity of 15 percent is the relevant rate of return to use.

Therefore, we have:

r = required annual rate of return = 15%, or 0.15

D = Annual depreciation = Maximum price for the new truck / Number of useful years = x / 5 = 0.2x

P = Annual cash flow = ((AEDTD - D) * (1 - T)) + D = ((220000 - 0.2x) * (1 - 0.21)) + 0.2x = ((220000 - 0.2x) * 0.79) + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.158x + 0.2x = 173,800 - 0.042x

Using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity, we have:

PVP = Present value of annual cash flow = P * ((1 - (1/(1 + r))^n) / r) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * ((1 - (1/(1 + 0.15))^5) / 0.15) = (173,800 - 0.042x) * 3.3521550980114 = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x

For the NPV of this unlevered truck project to be equal to $0, we must have:

x = PVP

That is:

x = 582,604.56 - 0.140790514116479x

Solving for x, we have:

x + 0.140790514116479x = 582,604.56

x(1 + 0.140790514116479) = 582,604.56

x1.140790514116479 = 582,604.56

x = 582,604.56 / 1.140790514116479 = $510,702.49

Therefore, the maximum price that Truck-or-Treat should be willing to pay for the purchase of the new trucks if it remains an unlevered company is $510,702.49.

Given the following production plan, use a chase production strategy to compute the monthly production, ending inventory/(backlog), net requirements and required workforce levels. A worker can produce 75 units per month. Assume that the beginning inventory in January is 750 units, and the firm desires to have 750 units of inventory at the end of June.

Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
Demand 2100 3000 5100 6000 4800 2400

Required:
a. What are the net requirements for January?
b. What month has the highest number of workers required?
c. What is the production level for June?
d. How many people will be employed for the month of January?

Answers

Answer:

Computation of the monthly production, ending inventory/(backlog), net requirements and required workforce levels:

a. The net requirements for January = 2,025 units and 27 workers.

b. The month with the highest number of workers required is April.

c. The production level for June is 2,475 units

d. 27 workers will be employed for the month of January.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production per worker per month = 75 units

Beginning inventory in January = 750 units

Desired ending inventory in June = 750 units

Production Schedule, using the chase production strategy:

Month                                     Jan      Feb      Mar       Apr      May      Jun

Beginning inventory               75          0          0            0          0          0

Monthly production          2,025   3,000   5,100   6,000   4,800   2,475

Net requirements              2,100   3,000   5,100   6,000   4,800   2,400

Ending inventory/(backlog)      0          0          0           0          0         75

During 2004, Thor Lab supplied hospitals with a comprehensive diagnostic kit for $120. At a volume of 80,000 kits, Thor had fixed costs of $1,000,000 and a profit before income taxes of $200,000. Due to an adverse legal decision, Thor’s 2005 liability insurance increased by $1,200,000 over 2004. Assuming the volume and other costs are unchanged, what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

a. $120.00
b. $135.00
c. $150.00
d. $240.00

Answers

Answer:

d. $240.00

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes?

2004 CM% = 12.5% ($15/$120)

2005 CM = $2,400,000 ($1,000,000 + $200,000)

2005 CM per unit = $2,400,000/80,000 units

2005 CM per unit= $30 CM per unit;

2005 selling price per unit = $30/.125

2005 selling price per unit= $240

Therefore what should the 2005 price be if Thor is to make the same $200,000 profit before income taxes is $240

Prosecutors representing the Securities and Exchange Commission recentlyannounced criminal charges against 13 individuals for engaging in insidertrading. According to the SECs director of enforcement, a trading ring acting on inside information compromises the marketsintegrity and investorstrust. . . . Explain why.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)

Suppose that the total value of dividends to be paid by companies in the Narnian stock market index is $100 billion. Investors expect dividends to grow over the long term by 5% annually, and they require a 10% return. Now a collapse in the economy leads investors to revise their growth estimate down to 4%. By how much should market values change

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "16.67%".

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend,

= $100 billion

Rate of return,

= 10%

= 0.10

Growth rate,

= 5%

= 0.05

Now,

Market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]

= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)

After collapse,

The market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]

= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)

Change in market value will be:

= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]

= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)

hence,

The percentage change in market value will be:

= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]

= [tex]16.67[/tex]%

Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.

Expected Return Volatility
Fund A 10% 10%
Fund B 15% 22%
Fund C 6% 2%

Required:
a. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
b. Which fund would you recommend to a client seeking the highest possible expected return with a maximum volatility of 22%?
c. Which fund would your recommend without knowing your clients risk preference?

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given point.

Explanation:

Calculate each fund's Sharpe ratio. It Fund is the best danger reward with the highest Sharpe ratio.

[tex]\text{Sharpe Ratio} = \frac{\text{(Fund return - \text{risk free return)}}}{Volatility}\\\\\to Fund A= \frac{(10\%-4\%)}{10\%} = 0.6\\\\\to Fund B= \frac{(15\%-4\%)}{22\%} = 0.5\\\\\to Fund C = \frac{(6\%-4\%)}{2\%}=1.0\\\\[/tex]

Fund C consequently offers the best risk-benefit. and without understanding client risk preference, we will advise Fund C for any clients. If a client wants to have a 22 percent minimum volatility, we'll nevertheless propose that Fund C instead of Fund B is available, because an investor can take risk-free rates to the degree that the total portfolio volatility stands at 22 percent and deposit it in Fund C.

Explanation:

The amount that the company will spend 4 years from now is simply the future value of the amount that it can spend today.

The amount to be spent today is $20,000 so the amount to be spent 4 years from now is the future value of $20,000:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 15%)⁴

A company uses return on investment (ROI) to measure the performance of its business units. The company manufactures and distributes consumer goods. Last year, management identified a possible shortage of raw materials. To mitigate this risk, a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory. As a result of this decision, ROI will A. Have an unpredictable change. B. Decrease. C. Increase. D. Not change.

Answers

Answer: B. Decrease

Explanation:

Return on investment refers to the ratio between the net income and investment. It should be noted that a high return on investment implies that the investment's gains compare favourably to the cost.

In this scenario, since a large amount of raw material was bought in advance and stored in the manufacturing plant inventory, this will lead to an increase in the cost of production which therefore will reduce the return in investment.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on

Answers

Answer: Opposing side

Explanation:

Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.

Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.

Crane Company receives a $74,000, 5-year note bearing interest of 5% (paid annually) from a customer at a time when the discount rate is 6%.

Required:
What is the present value of the note received by Crane?

Answers

Answer: $70,882.98

Explanation:

Present value of note = Present value of interest payments + Present value of face value

Present value of interest payment:

First calculate the interest:

= 5% * 74,000

= $3,700

This amount is constant so is an annuity

Present value = 3,700 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 6%

= 3,700 * 4.2124

= $15,585.88

Present value of face value :

= 74,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵

= $55,297.10

Present value of note:

= 15,585.88 + 55,297.10

= $70,882.98

10. Which of the following is NOT a reason that real GDP is a poor measure of a nation's
economic welfare?

A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.
b) Real GDP does not consider the value of people's leisure time.
c) Real GDP does not include the underground economy.
D) Real GDP omits household production.

Answers

Answer:

A)Real GDP omits measures of political freedom.

Explanation:

The Real Gross Domestic Product is a measure of all the goods produced in an economy within a year but with changes in price levels triggered by inflation factored in. Political freedom does not affect economic freedom. People may be restricted politically but still, go about their normal economic activities.

Because the Real GDP basically focuses on transactions done in the markets, it might not accurately measure the growth rate because some people conduct illegal businesses underground that are not captured by the government, while some produce their goods at home. Also, leisure time is not factored and it is important because an increase in leisure time will affect time spent in activities that improve the economy.

ABC and XYZ are all-equity firms. ABC has 1,750 shares outstanding at a market price of $20 a share while XYZ has 2,500 shares outstanding at a price of $28 a share. ABC is acquiring XYZ for $75,000 in cash. The incremental value of the acquisition is $8,000. What is the net present value of acquiring XYZ to ABC

Answers

Answer:

the net present value is -$32,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below;

= (Number of oustanding shares × market price per share) + incremental value of acquisition - acquiring value in cash

= (1,750 × $20) + $8,000 - $75,000

= $43,000 - $75,000

= -$32,000

Hence, the net present value is -$32,000
