Benson Corporation is considering an investment in equipment that would cost $50,000 and provide annual cash inflows of $14,000. The company's required rate of return is 12%; the internal rate of return for the investment is 10.5%. Should the company make this investment

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the company should not make this investment

Explanation:

Only projects with an internal rate of return for the investment greater than the company's required rate of return should be accepted.  

For Benson Corporation, the internal rate of return for the investment is 10.5% and less than the company's required rate of return of 12%. Thus, the company should not make this investment

1. Based on the preceding information and rounding dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollars, the company expects the selling price in the fourth year of the project to be__$17,172___ , and it expects the cost per unit in the fourth year of the project to be ___$7,544___.

2. The CORRECT statement about inflation's effect on net present value (NPV) is:

B. When the selling price and cost per unit are expected to increase at the same rate, you do not need to take inflation into account when performing a capital budgeting analysis.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected selling price of iToy = $15,250 per unit

Expected cost of producing iToy = $6,700 per unit

Expected annual increase in selling price and cost per iToy = 3.00%

The expected selling price in the fourth year of the project = $15,250 * (1 + 0.03)^4

= $17,172 ($15,250 * 1.126)

The expected cost per unit in the fourth year of the project = $7,544 (6,700 * 1.126)

After Jim has gotten two different quotes for repairing his brakes, one from the dealership and one from a small, private mechanic, he choses to go with the small mechanic who has agreed to do his brakes for $200.00 less than the dealership. Jim takes his car to the mechanic who begins working on his brakes. After a week passes, the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes. Jim goes over to pick up his car and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage. What legal recourse does Jim have?

Answers

Answer:

Primary estoppel

Explanation:

Primary estoppel is defined as the principle that a promise made by a promisor is enforceable most especially when a promisee believes the promise and this leads to a subsequent detriment.

In the given scenario Jim used a small mechanic to repair his brakes and was assured he could do the job.

However the mechanic calls him and tells him he is in over his head and cannot fix his brakes, and finds his car in the mechanic's garage with the brakes disassembled around the mechanic's garage.

He can resort to primary estoppel as a legal recourse.

c. Which measure should you use to calculate the company's cost of capital?
a. Book debt-to-value ratio
b. Markeet debt-to-value ratio

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

(a)-Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Book Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $23.00 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷  [$24.80 Billion + $13.69 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $38.49 Billion

= 0.64

(b)- Caterpillar’s market debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book Market debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Market Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $154.80 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $92.11 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $116.91 Billion

= 0.21

Answers

Answer:

According to the numbers in the article

smoking among adults is inelastic because the percent change in price is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Inelasticity means that price changes do not affect the demand for smoking among adults.  When the habits of consumers to smoke are not determined by the change in the price of the item, the demand is described as inelastic.  In other words, a change in the price of the good or service does not generate a corresponding change in the quantity demanded. Inelasticity, as an economic term, states that the quantity demanded of a good or service remains static when there is a change in its price.

Money Plus Bank will charge 6.8 percent, with interest due at the end of the year. Which bank should Peterkin take the loan from

Answers

Answer:

Sandy Bank

Explanation:

to determine which bank  Peterkin would prefer a loan from, calculate the effective annual interest rate

the bank with the lower effective annual interest rate would be preferred

Effective annual rate = (1 + APR / m ) ^m - 1

M = number of compounding

Sandy Bank : (1 + 0.06/12)^12 - 1 = 0.062 = 6.2%

Money Plus Bank = 6.8

In the world map the United States appears to be a large producer of oranges. Explain how the world map misrepresents the scale of production for the cultivation of oranges in the United States.

Answers

Answer:

The map misrepresents the scale of orange production in the United States, because even in the U.S. is an important orange producer, the map conveys the idea that the U.S. as a whole is a producer, when it only produces oranges in a few states, with almost the entirety of the production being located in Florida.

A more accurate map would clarify this in a textbox or a note, or would have the state of Florida colored in a way that highlights that the production of oranges in the U.S. comes almost exclusively from this state.

Answers

Answer:

MAD:  10.04,  11.53

MAPSE: 10% ,  12%

MSE : 146.33,  178.72

Bias : -0.56 , -0.96

3-week moving average method is better

Explanation:

i ) Evaluate MAD ( average of absolute errors )

using  3 week moving average

= 10.04

using simple exponential smoothing

= 11.53

ii) MAPSE ( average of absolute percentage error )

using 3 week moving average

= 10%

using simple exponential smoothing

= 12%

iii) MSE ( average of Squared Errors )

3 week MV = 146.33 ,  Simple exponential smoothing = 178.72.

iv) Bias

3 week MV = -5/9 = -0.56,  Simple exponential smoothing = -8.69/9 = -0.96.

v) TS  ( Total error / MAD )

3 week MV = -5 / 10.04 = -0.49 ,

simple exponential smoothing  = -8.69 / 11.53 = -0.75

b) I prefer 3-week moving average based on the values of MAD , MAPE, MSE, bias and TS which shows that there is a better estimate when using the 3 -weeks moving average.

What would happen if I were to buy a truck for $50,000 and expense all of it during that period, rather than handle it the way the book recommends? What would it do to my Income Statement and Balance Sheet?

Answers

Answer:

Income from operation will decrease by $50,000

Explanation:

given data

inventory of a manufactured = 5,000 units

to find out

effect on income from operations

solution

as we know that in the absorption costing both variable cost and fixed cost are included in the cost of production

so that as under variable costing only the variable manufacturing cost are included in the cost

and

if absorption costing is used the inventory level that will be increased  by10 ×  5000 =  $50,000

so Income from operation will decrease by $50,000

so correct option is c.$50,000 decrease

Balance sheet as what that might be will indeed be underestimated. A further explanation is provided below.

A $50,000 automobile has been purchased. This is a level of investment. Throughout acquisition, it should not be recognized as an expense. Yearly trucking depreciation would be to be determined employing the truck's anticipated lifespan.

Depreciation costs, therefore, should have been computed annually and should be reported throughout the statement of financial position. The truck must be reflected minus cumulative depreciation at such market rates somewhere in the accounting records. If somehow the truck gets charged for the purchasing year as well, then the operating earnings of the reporting quarter of the company would decrease dramatically.The truck wouldn't have been reflected on the balance sheet even though it stated at the cost the year of the acquisition.

So the preceding response is correct.

A newly constructed water treatment facility cost $2 million. It is estimated that the facility will need renovating every 30 years at a cost of $1 million. Annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $100,000 per year. At an interest rate of 6%, determine the capitalized cost of the facility

Answers

Answer:

$3,876,667

Explanation:

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + ($100,000 / 0.06) + [[$1,000,000*(A/F, 6%, 30)] / 0.06]

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + $1,666,667 + [$1,000,000*(0.0126)] / 0.06

Capitalized cost = $2,000,000 + $1,666,667 + $210,000

Capitalized cost = $3,876,667

So, the value of the capitalized cost of th e facility is $3,876,667.

Suppose that we want to evaluate the effect of several variables onannual saving and that we have a panel data set on individuals collected in January1990 and January 1992. If we include a year dummy variable for 1992 and use firstdifferencing, can we also include age in the original model? Explain.

We're breaking MLR.3 as [tex]\Delta agei[/tex] it's the same for all -> No different from a permanent designer cannot immediately distinguish the influence of age from the aggregate time effect because age changes per person by the same amount.

Whispering Winds Industries manufactures dining chairs and tables. The following information is available regarding the two products and their estimated use of cost drivers: Dining Chairs Tables Estimated Cost Machine setups 285 685 $49,470 Inspections 335 555 $73,870 Labor hours 2,600 2,400 Whispering Winds is considering switching from one overhead rate based on labor hours to ABC. Perform the following analysis for these two components of overhead: (a) Compute total machine setups and inspection costs assigned to each product, using a single overhead rate. (Round overhead rate value to 3 decimal places, e.g. 52.711 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. The calculation of the total machine setups and inspection costs assigned to each product is given below:

Single overhead rate is

= ($49,470 + $73,870) ÷ (2,600 + 2,400)

= $24.668

Now the dining chairs cost is

= $24.668 ×2,600

=$ 64,137

And, for tables, it is

= $24.668 × 2,400

= $59,203

hence, the same should be considered

The downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as _____________ rises, ______________ decreases.

Answers

Answer:

price; quantity demanded.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal.

According to the law of demand, there exist a negative relationship between the quantity of goods demanded and the price of a good i.e when the prices of goods and services in the market increases or rises: there would be a significant decline or fall in the demand for this goods and services.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

In conclusion, the downward slope of the demand curve again illustrates the pattern that as price of goods and services rises, quantity of goods and services demanded decreases.

In reviewing activity for july the controller of mathis inc., collected the following data concerning direct materials:

Actual production $103,000 units
Direct materials purchased (actual) $1,642,800
Standard cost of materials purchased $1,554,000
Standard direct materials costs per unit produced 14
Standard price times actual amount of materials used $1,405,950

Required:
Compute the direct materials cost variances.

Answers

Answer:

$36,400 U

Explanation:

Actual costs = $ 1,643,800

Actual inputs at standard price = $ 1,556,500

Price variance = ($ 1,556,500 – $1,643,800)

                       = $87,300 Unfavorable

Actual inputs at standard price = $ 1,408,450

Flexible budget (Standard Allowed for Good Output):

= $14.1 × 103,500

= $1,459,350

Efficiency variance = ($1,459,350 - $1,408,450)

                               = $50,900 Favorable

Direct materials cost variances:

=  Price variance - Efficiency variance

=$87,300 U – $50,900 F

= $36,400 U

Workman Software has 11 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and currently sell for 108.3 percent of par. a. What is the current yield on the bonds

Answers

Answer:

10.16%

Explanation:

Coupon amount = 11% * 1000

Coupon amount = $110

Price of bond = 1000*108.3%

Price of bond = $1,083

Current yield = Coupon amount / Price of bond

Current yield = $110 / $1,083

Current yield = 0.1015697

Current yield = 10.16%

So, the current yield on the bonds is 10.16%.
