Answer:
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89
Explanation:
Equivalent annual cost = Present Value of cost / Annuity factor
Present value of cost:
PV of additional cost =50,000 ×1.05^(-10)=30,695.66
PV of maintenance cost
First four years= 5,000× (1-1.05^(-4))/0.05=17,729.75
From year 5 to infinity = (8,000/0.05)× 1.05^(-4)=131,632.39
PV of maintenance cost = 17,729.75 + 131,632.396= 149,362.14
PV of costs = 150,000 + 30,695.66 + 149,362.14= 330,057.8112
Annuity factor = 1/r = 1/0.05= 20
Equivalent annual cost = 330,057.8112 /20=$16,502.89
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89

Direct materials quantity variance $100 F ?
Total direct material variance ? $480 U
Number of units produced 100 400
Calculate missing direct material variables
Answer:
Explanation:
For Medium speed bump
AQ AP AQ SP SQ SP
1,400 $ 1.80 1,400 $ 1.00 1,500 $ 1.00
$ 2,520.00 $ 1,400.00 $ 1,500.00
A B C
DMPV A-B $ 1,120.00 U
DMQV C-B $ 100.00 F
DMV A-C $ 1,020.00 U
We know that Direct material price variance = AQ(AP-SP) = 1120
AQ = 1120/(AP-SP)
AQ = 1120/(1.80-1.00)
AQ = 1,400
SQ = 100 x 15 = 1500
For Large speed bump
AQ AP AQ SP SQ SP
6,400 $ 2.10 6,400 $ 1.80 7,200 $ 1.80
$ 13,440.00 $ 11,520.00 $ 12,960.00
A B C
DMPV A-B $ 1,920.00 U
DMQV C-B $ 1,440.00 F
DMV A-C $ 480.00 U
Using this equation , DMV = DMPV + DMQV
DMQV = DMV-DMPV
DMQV = 480-1920
DMQV = 1440 F
Direct material quantity variance = SP(SQ-AQ) = 1440
SQ-AQ = 1440/SP
1440/SP + AQ = SQ
1440/1.8 + 6400 = SQ
SQ = 7200

Suppose Mr. Lane just bought a share of BlueWind Co., a renewable energy startup. BlueWind promises to pay Mr. Lane $18 in dividends for one year and then the firm will shut down. Suppose that the liquidation value of the share is $3, and the rate of time preference is 5%. Then, according to the single-period dividend discount model, the present value of the cash payment received by Mr. Lane in one year would be
Answer:
The present value of the cash payment is $20
Explanation:
The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.
The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor
discount factor=1/(1+r)^n
where is the rate of time preference of 5%'
n is 1 i.e in one year's time
total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21
discount factor =1/(1+5%)^1=0.95238
present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20
A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment
Answer:
She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment or
or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000
so
The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.
Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Waterways puts much emphasis on cash flow when it plans for capital investments. The company chose its discount rate of 8% based on the rate of return it must pay its owners and creditors. Using that rate, Waterways then uses different methods to determine the best decisions for making capital outlays.
In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance. The backhoe operators are very familiar with the old backhoes and would need to learn some new skills to use the new backhoes.
The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000
Investment in major overhaul needed in next year $55,000
Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
1. Evaluate in the following ways whether to purchase the new equipment or overhaul the old equipment. (Hint: For the old machine, the initial investment is the cost of the overhaul. For the new machine, subtract the salvage value of the old machine to determine the initial cost of the investment.)
a. Using the net present value method for buying new or keeping the old
b. Using the payback method for each choice. (Hint: For the old machine, evaluate the payback of an overhaul.)
c. Comparing the profitability index for each choice.
d. Calculate the internal rate of return for the new and old blackhoes.

Peggy sells pistachios and almonds at the farmer’s market. She currently prices pistachios at $7 per bag and almonds at $4 per bag. She observes that every hour, 4 people each buy one bag of pistachios and 2 people each buy one bag of almonds. Having surveyed them, she learns that 2 of the pistachio buyers would be willing to pay $2 for the bag of almonds while the other two would only be willing to pay $1. Both almond buyers would be willing pay $5 for the bag of pistachios. Suppose Peggy decides to sell a bundle containing one bag of pistachios and one bag of almonds in addition to selling them separately. What price should she charge for the bundle in order to maximize revenue?
Answer:
The price she should charge for the bundle in order to maximize profit is 9
Explanation:
Solution
The total pistachios sold = 7 * 2 =14
The total almonds sold is = 4*1 = 4
So,
The total of both pistachios and almonds = 14 + 4 + 18
Thus,
we solve for getting average of the two which is:
Getting the average of the two in the bundle = 18/2
=9
Therefore p =9
A perfectly competitive firm is a: Group of answer choices price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price. price participant, because it can coordinate its pricing decisions with other firms. price maker, because it has the freedom to set the selling price. price leader; it can change its price and other firms will adjust.
Answer:
A. price taker, because it must accept the market equilibrium price.
Explanation:
A perfectly competitive firm is an ideal firm in which different firms sell products that are homogeneous or similar in nature. They are price takers because the prices of goods are determined by changes in demand and supply, therefore they must accept the market equilibrium price. They do not attempt to fix the prices of commodities. The opposite of this type of firm is a monopoly where a firm has complete control of a market, having the ability to change prices as it wills.
An example can be found among businesses that sell similar kinds of products. It could be in the form of grocery stores that sell similar wares. When any of the sellers leave the market, it does not affect the other sellers as their prices are at equilibrium. Therefore, anyone can enter or exit this type of market.

Blossom Co. leased machinery from Young, Inc. on January 1, 2020. The lease term was for 8 years, with equal annual rental payments of $5,800 at the beginning of each year. In addition, the lease provides an option to purchase the machinery at the end of the lease term for $1,500, which Blossom is reasonably certain it will exercise as it believes the fair value of the machinery will be at least $5,000. The machinery has a useful life of 10 years and a fair value of $43,000. The implicit rate of the lease is not known to Blossom. Blossom’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Prepare Blossom’s 2020 journal entries
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Right of use Dr, $35,743.93
To lease liability $35,743.93
(Being lease assets and lease liability is recorded)
Working note as attached using spreadsheet
Here we debited the right of use as it increased the assets and we credited the lease liability as it also increased the liability
2. Lease liability Dr, $5,800
To Cash $5,800
(Being payment on lease liability is recorded)
Here, we debited the lease liability as it decrease the liability and we credited the cash as it decreased the asset
3. Interest expenses Dr, $2,694.95
To Lease liability $2,694.95
(Being interest expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and we credited the leased liability as it increased the liability
4. Amortization expenses Dr, $3,574.39 ($35,743.93 ÷ 10 )
To Right of use $3,574.39
(Being amortization expenses is recorded)
Here we debited the amortization expenses as it increase the expenses and we credited the right of use as it reduced the assets
Working Note
Interest expenses = (Lease liability - First lease payment) × Incremental borrowing rate
= ($35,743.93 - $5,800) × 9%
= $2,694.95
Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

Royal Dutch Shell(RDS) acquires ethanol fuel from Brazilian Cosan energy company. The Ethanol costs 500 million Brazilian Real(BRL) to grow the corn and convert it to ethanol. RDS doesn't have BRL, so they must use the futures market to acquire the currency. If 1 BRL/USD futures contract is for 100,000 reals What is the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery.
Answer:
The answer is 5000 future contracts
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Royal Dutch buys ethanol fuel from Brazilian energy company
Nowm,
The Required coverage = 500,000,000
The BRL/USD futures contract size = 100,000
Number of contracts required = 500,000,000/100,000
So,
= 500,000,000/100,000 = 5000
Therefore, the optimal number of BRL/USD futures contracts for Shell to take to receive the entire amount of Real at delivery is 5000

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to inventories? The FIFO method assumes that the costs of the earliest goods acquired are the last to be sold. It is generally good business management to sell the most recently acquired goods first "Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased." FIFO seldom coincides with the actual physical flow of inventory.
Answer:
Under FIFO, the ending inventory is based on the latest units purchased.
Explanation:
First in, first out inventory (FIFO) method values cost of goods sold using the purchase price of the "oldest" units in inventory. This means that the cost of the first units sold will be used to determine COGS.
On the other hand, last in, first out (LIFO) method uses the price of the most recently purchased units to determine the cost of goods sold.
The members of a wedding party have approached Imperial Jewelers about buying 26 of these gold bracelets for the discounted price of $367.00 each. The members of the wedding party would like special filigree applied to the bracelets that would require Imperial Jewelers to buy a special tool for $457 and that would increase the direct materials cost per bracelet by $7. The special tool would have no other use once the special order is completed. To analyze this special order opportunity, Imperial Jewelers has determined that most of its manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period. However, $8.00 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of bracelets produced. The company also believes that accepting this order would have no effect on its ability to produce and sell jewelry to other customers. Furthermore, the company could fulfill the wedding party’s order using its existing manufacturing capacity.
Answer:
this special order will result in a $2,637 profit, so the company should accept it
Explanation:
special order for 26 gold bracelets
discounted price of $367 per unit

revenue generated by special order:
total revenue $9,542
- variable costs ($6,448)
direct materials $3,900direct labor $2,340variable overhead $208- special machine ($457)
profit from special order $2,637
The MoMi Corporation’s income before interest, depreciation and taxes, was $2.7 million in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 5% per year forever. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 15% of pre tax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 30%. Depreciation was $330,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the operating cash flow. The appropriate market capitalization rate for the unlevered cash flow is 12% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $5 million outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the value of the firm and the firm’s equity. (Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.)
Answer:
1. The value of the firm is $23,760,000
2. The value of the equity is $18.76m
Explanation:
In order to calculate the value of the firm we would have to use the following formula:
Value of firm = FCF1 / (r - g) = FCF0 x (1 + g) / (r - g)
Operating Cash Flows (OCF) = (EBITDA - Depreciation) x (1 - tax) + Depreciation
= (2,700,000 - 330,000) x (1 - 30%) + 330,000
= $1,989,000
Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OCF - Investment
We know that investment = 15% of EBITDA = 15% x 2,700,000 = 405,000
Current FCF = 1,989,000 - 405,000 = 1,584,000
Therefore, Value of the firm = 1,584,000 x (1 + 5%) / (12% - 5%) = $23,760,000
To calculate the value of equity we would have to use the following formula:
Value of equity = Value of Firm - Value of Debt = 23.76 - 5 = $18.76m
Answer:
Value of the firm $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity $ 11550000.
Explanation:
Cash flow from operations = $ 1785000 (1700000 + 5 % of 1700000).
Depreciation = $ 241500. (230000 + 5 % of 230000).
Taxable income = $ 1543500 (1785000 - 241500)
Net income (after tax) = 1543500 - 30 % of 1543500 = $ 1080450.
Cash flow from operations (after tax) = 1080450 + 241500 (Depreciation, being non cash expense). = $ 1321950.
Free cash flow available = Cash flow from operations (after tax) - Income from investment.
= 1321950 - (1700000 * 17 % * 1.05)
= 1321950 - 303450.
= $ 1018500.
Value of the firm = Free cash flow available / (Capitalization rate - Growth rate)
= 1018500 / (0.12 - 0.05)
= 1018500 / 0.07
= $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity = Total value of firm - Value of debt of firm
= 14550000 - 3000000
= $ 11550000.
Conclusion :-
Value of the firm $ 14550000.
Value of the firm's equity $ 11550000.

(Round actual rate and standard rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Preparation of report for the plant supervisor on direct labor cost variances for March is attached with the help of spreadsheet.
The Formula are as shown below:-
Actual per hour = Actual costs ÷ Actual number of hours
Standard per hour = Standard costs ÷Standard number of hours
Quantity variance = (Actual hours -Standard hours) × Standard Rate
Price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour
Therefore if actual hours is lesser than Standard hours it will become favorable and if actual hours is higher than standard hours it will become unfavorable. In the similar way if actual rate is higher than standard rate then it will become unfavorable on the other hand if actual rate is lesser than standard rate then it will become favorable.
