A project initially costs $40,500 and will not produce any cash flows for the first 2 years. Starting in Year 3, it will produce
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Net present value = $2063.1922

Explanation:

given data

initially costs = $40,500

cash flows = $34,500

final cash inflow = $12,000

required rate of return = 18.5 percent

solution

The cash flows is  

Year 0 =  $40500

Year 1 = $0

Year 2 = $0

Year 3 = $34500

Year 4 = $34500

Year 5 = $0

Year 6 = $12000

so  Net present value will be express as

Net present value = -Initial cash outflow + Present value of future cash flows ...............1

Present value of future cash flows = (cash flow in year n) ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^t   ..........................2

put here value we get

Present value = \frac{0}{(1+0.185)^1} + \frac{0}{(1+0.185)^2} + \frac{34500}{(1+0.185)^3} + \frac{34500}{(1+0.185)^4} + \frac{0}{(1+0.185)^5} + \frac{12000}{(1+0.185)^6}    

Present value = $42563.1922    

Net present value= -$40500 + $42563.1922

Net present value = $2063.1922

A company planning to market a new model of motor scooter analyzes the effect of changes in the selling price of the motor scoot
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. If the motor scooter is sold for $2.480, then the net present value (NPV) for the product will be zero.

Explanation:

As we know that

The break even point is the point at which the firm has no profit earned and no loss suffered

While the Net present value is the value that determines whether the projects should be accepted or not after considering the discounted rate.

That means if the initial investment is less than the present value than the project is accepted otherwise rejected

Moreover, the break even point is the point where the net present value is zero

Therefore, the first option is correct

Better Bottles, Inc., Uses a periodic inventory system and has the following:
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold using the periodic FIFO method is shown below;

                                        <u>  </u><u>FIFO Ending Inventory </u>

<u>Description               # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

Jan. 20 Purchase       33                  $30                          $990

Jan. 15 Purchase       11                    $22                         $242

Total                           44                                                 $1,232

                                     <u> FIFO Cost of goods sold </u>

<u>Description               # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

Jan. 20 Purchase        20                $20                          $400

Jan. 15 Purchase        16                 $22                          $352

Total                           36                                                  $752

2. The computation of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold using the periodic LIFO method is shown below;

                                         <u> FIFO Ending Inventory </u>

<u>Description               # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

Jan. 20 Purchase       20                   $20                        $400

Jan. 15 Purchase       24                    $22                         $528

Total                           44                                                 $928

                                    <u>  FIFO Cost of goods sold </u>

<u>Description               # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

Jan. 20 Purchase       33                 $30                          $990

Jan. 15 Purchase       3                   $22                          $66

Total                           44                                                 $1,056

3. The computation of the cost per unit using the Periodic Weighted Average method is

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Number of units

= $1,984 ÷ 80

= $24.80 per unit

                                 <u>Weighted average Ending inventory</u>

<u> # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

44                    $24.80                  $1,091

                                <u>Weighted average Cost of goods sold </u>

<u> # of Units      Cost per Unit         Total Cost </u>

36                $24.80                      $893

4. The computation of the completed cost of goods sold by applying the three methods is

Particulars                       FIFO              LIFO               Weighted average

Beginning Inventory        $400            $400               $400

Add: Purchases                $1,584         $1,584               $1,584

Goods Available for Sale $1,984         $1,984               $1,984

Less: Ending Inventory   -$1,232         -$928                -$1,091        

Cost of Goods Sold          $752           $1,056                $893
