Perit Industries has $110,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:
Project A Project B
Cost of equipment required $110,000 $0
Working capital investment required $0 $110,000
Annual cash inflows $20,000 $68,000
Salvage value of
equipment in six years $8,600 $0
Life of the project 6 years 6 years
The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 16%.
Required:
1. Compute the net present value of Project A.
2. Compute the net present value of Project B.
3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?
Answer:
$-32,775.48
$185,710.69
Project B
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $20,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 + $8,600 = 28,600
I = 16%
NPV = $-32775.48
Project B
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $68,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $68,000 + $110,000 = $178,000
I = 16%
NPV = $185,710.69
Project B should be chosen because its NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Select the correct point on the graph. Which point on the graph indicates the lowest quantity supplied of goods?
Answer:
Point A
Explanation:
The supply curve given above shows the correlation between the cost of goods (on the vertical axis) and quantity of goods supplied (on the horizontal axis).
From the graph, we can see that as the price of the goods increases, the quantity that is supplied in pounds also increases, and vice versa.
The lowest price correlates with the lowest quantity supplied. Therefore, at point A on the graph, we have the lowest quantity supplied of goods.
You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Five years ago, when the relevant cost index was 120, a nuclear centrifuge cost $40,000. The centrifuge had a capacity of separating 1500 gallons of ionized solution per hour. Today, it is desired to build a new centrifuge with capacity of 4500 gallons per hour, but the cost index now is 300. Assuming a power sizing exponent to reflect economies of scale, x, of 0.75, use the power sizing model to determine the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor.
Answer:
The approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / Cost of centrifuge with 1500 capacities 5 years ago = (Capacity of centrifuge with 4500 capacities / Capacity of centrifuge with 1500 capacities)^Power sizing exponent
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacity 5 years ago / $40,000 = (4500 / 1500)^0.75
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / $40,000 = 2.27950705695478
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = 2.27950705695478 * $40,000 = $91,180.28
Therefore, we have:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities now = (Cost index now / Cost index 5 years ago) * Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = (300 / 120) * $91,180.28 = $227,950.71
Therefore, the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.
Exercise 9-15A (Static) Using the current ratio to make comparisons LO 9-7 The following information was drawn from the balance sheets of the Kansas and Montana companies: Kansas Montana Current assets $ 59,000 $ 78,000 Current liabilities 40,000 43,000 Required a. Compute the current ratio for each company. b. Which company has the greater likelihood of being able to pay its bills
Answer:
a. 1.5 and 1.8
b. Montana

1. Company orientation does not include which topic below?
Economic Factors
b. Fringe Benefits
C. Occupational Health and Safet
d. None of the above
what is the answer?
Answer: a. Economic factors
Explanation:
Company orientation refers to training that is given to new employees to better prepare them to work in the company and be as efficient as possible.
It includes things like occupational health and safety so that the employee may know how best to behave so as not to cause accident or get injured by one. It also includes telling the employees of the various fringe benefits that might accrue to them.
It would not include economic factors as these as not specific to the company.
A firm is considering expanding its current operations and has estimated the internal rate of return on that expansion to be 12.2%. The firm's WACC is 11.8%. Given this, you know that the: the project will have a lower debt-equity ratio than the firm's current operations. the appropriate discount rate for the project is between 11.8% and 12.2%. the project has slightly more risk than the firm's current operations. the expansion should be undertaken as it has a positive net present value.
Answer:
expansion should be undertaken as it has a positive net present value
Four fundamental factors affect the cost of money:
1. The return that borrowers expect to earn on their investments
2. The preference of savers to spend their income in the current period rather than delay their consumption until some future period
3. The risks associated with the investment
4. Expected inflation
Consider the following statements that address these factors, and indicate if you think each statement is true or false.
Statement
True
False
Investments providing cash flows that are more likely to equal their expected value are said to exhibit more risk.
The actual relationship between the risk-free rate of return (r*r*) and the expected future inflation rate or inflation premium (IP) is actually multiplicative—that is, [(1 + rRFrRF) x (1 + IP)] – 1—but it is often simplified to reflect an additive relationship.
All things being equal, rational savers and investors prefer to invest in an asset that provides a 12% return rather than one that provides an 8% return.
All things being equal, savers and investors prefer more risk to less risk and prefer lower risk premiums on projects exhibiting higher levels of risk.
On average and everything else held constant, an investment that can provide a 4% return should attract more investment capital from savers/investors than an otherwise identical investment that can generate a 12% return.
Answer:
True statement is:
All thing being equal, savers and investors prefer more risk to less risk and prefer lower risk premiums on projects exhibiting higher levels of risk.
Explanation:
Investors wish to receive less risk and more return. They prefer from more risk to lesser risk and receive risk premium on project that exhibit higher level of risk and delayed compensation. A project with 12% return will be more riskier than a project with 8% return. Rate of return increases as the level of risk increases.

If the dollar contribution margin per unit is increased by 10%, total fixed expenses is decreased by 20%, and all other factors remain the same, net operating income will:
Answer:
Operating profit increases by $11,000
Explanation:
Missing word "A company has provided the following data: Sales 3,000 units Sales Price $70 per unit Variable Cost $50 per unit Fixed Cost $25,000"
Particulars Status quo
Sales $210,000 (3000*70)
Less: Variable cost $150,000 (3000*50)
Contribution margin $60,000
Less: Fixed costs $25,000
Operating profit $35,000
Alternate profit = Alternate contribution margin - Alternate fixed cost
Alternate profit = [(Status quo contribution margin + %change) − (Alternate fixed cost-%change)]
Alternate profit = ($60,000+10%)−($25,000−20%)
Alternate profit = $46,000
Change in profit = Alternate profit - Status quo profit
Change in profit = $46,000 - $35,000
Change in profit = $11,000
So, the operating profit increases by $11,000

Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,000 estimated residual value. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)What should be the book value of (a) the land and (b) the building at the end of year 2
Answer:
Missing word "Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."
Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000
Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000
Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000
Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000
Total Cost of Building = $46,000
1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year
Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $3,000
2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000
Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000
Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000

Cultural sensitivity
Learn about the other organizations' traditions.
ability to operate in a fast-paced, unpredictably changing workplace
Create a productive team.
Develop a sense of trust
All of these elements are equally crucial for the project's worldwide success.
The initiatives that are held at a worldwide level are more difficult.

Before he leaves, he calls in the order to the GHC Supply Store. He uses chips at an average rate of seven per day (seven days per week) with a standard deviation of demand of two per day. He needs a 98 percent service probability.
Required:
If he currently has 35 chips in inventory, how many should he order? What is the most he will ever have to order?
Answer:
219.57 units
Explanation:
Given :
Daily demand, d = 7 per day
Standard deviation, = 2 per day
Service probability = 98%
Total number of days per week = 7
Lead time , L = 3 days
On hand inventory, I = 35
Now calculating the optimal order quantity by using the given formula,
[tex]$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$[/tex] .............(i)
First, we will find out the value of [tex]$\sigma_{r+L}$[/tex] and z.
Therefore,
[tex]$\sigma_{r+L}=\sqrt{(30+3)(2)^2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\sqrt{132}$[/tex]
= 11.48
Now the value of z can be found out from the z-table,
Z value for 98% service level = 2.054
Now putting the value of [tex]$\sigma_{r+L}$[/tex] and z in equation (i), we get,
[tex]$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$[/tex]
= (7)(30+3)+(2.054)(11.48) - 35
= 231 + 23.57 - 35
= 219.57 units
So the optimal number of the units required to be order = 219.57 units
Chad, who owns the only coffee shop in Rivercity, learns that Jose is about to open a competing coffee shop in the same small town, just a few blocks from Chad's. Chad offers Jose $10,000 in return for Jose's promise not to open a coffee shop in the Rivercity area for six months. Jose accepts the $10,000 but goes ahead with his plans, even though he had agreed not to do so. When Jose opens his coffee shop for business, Chad sues to enjoin Jose's continued operation or to recover the $10,000
Required:
Can Chad sues Jose?
Answer:
Rivercity Coffee Shop
Chad cannot sue Jose. The $10,000 is paid to Jose is a bribe. Since a bribe is not legal, it cannot form the basis for an enforceable contract.
Moreover, the offer by Chad is an antitrust and anti-competition consideration that is legally frowned upon. illegal contract
Explanation:
For a contract to be enforceable, it cannot be illegal. A bribe is illegal. The basis for the contract is illegal. Therefore, Chad cannot sue Jose. Since Jose decided to breach the contract, neither Chad nor Jose is entitled to any compensation. Jose cannot be held liable for non-performance.
Swifty Corporation took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $215,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $27,000 of goods purchased from Marigold Corp., FOB, shipping point, and $20,000 of goods sold to Concord Corporation for $34,000, FOB destination. Both the Marigold purchase and the Concord sale were in transit at year-end.
Required:
What amount should Swifty report as its December 31 inventory?
Answer:
$262,000
Explanation:
Ending inventory = Goods on Hand + Cost Goods purchased from Marigold Corp + Cost of goods sold to Marigold Corp.
Ending inventory = $215,000 + $27,000 + $20,000
Ending inventory = $262,000
So, the amount that should Swifty report as its December 31 inventory is $262,000.
