This answer requires that we fill in the blanks

The net present value (NPV) method estimates how much a potential project will contribute to shareholder wealth
The larger the NPV, the more value the project adds; and added value means a higher stock price.
The NPV calculation assumes that cash inflows can be reinvested at the project's risk-adjusted WACC
When the firm is considering independent projects, if the project's NPV exceeds zero the firm should accept the project.
When the firm is considering mutually exclusive projects, the firm should accept the project with the higher positive NPV.

What is the NPV?

In order to get the NPV we have to make the following calculations for the projects A and B.

This is calculated as

Project A

-900 + 620/1.08 + 395/1.08² + 200/1.08³ + 250/1.08⁴

= $355. 237

For the project B

We would have to perform similar calculation

Hence we would have

-900 + 620/1.08 + 395/1.08² + 200/1.08³ + 250/1.08⁴

= 378.98

From the calculations that we have done above, we can see that the value for project B is greater hence we have to choose project B.

Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than

SashulF [63]

Complete Question:

Determine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations:

a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per

day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.

b. A furnace repair team that services an average of four furnaces a day if the design capacity is six furnaces a day and the

effective capacity is five furnaces a day.

c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than

those other systems? Explain.

Explanation:

It's not (true) actually. Whether the design capacity is comparatively (high), the utilisation could be (low) even though the efficiency was (high).

Utilisation = Output / Design capacity = $\frac{17}{10}$ x 100%

Efficiency = Output / Effective capacity = $\frac{7}{8}$

Utilisation = $\frac{4}{6}$

Efficiency = $\frac{4}{5}$

U = 1000/2000

e = 1000/1000

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$7,700 increase

Explanation:

We can determine the change in Wolverine's cash balance by deducting the cash disbursement and operating expenses from the cash receipts.\

Change in cash balance = Cash receipts - Cash disbursement - Operating expense

Change in cash balance = $48,000 - $33,800 -$6,500

Change in cash balance = $7,700

WORKING:

Cash Receipts

Sales

February ( 59,000 x 45%) $26,550

January ( 39,000 x 55%) $21,450

Total $48,000

Cash disbursement

Purchases

February ( 44,000 x 15%) $6,600

January ( 32,000 x 85%) $27,200

Total $33,800

Operating expenses

Incurred $9,400

Depreciation ($2,900)

Net $6,500
