It is false. By preserving what is unique about a company, strategic positioning aims to achieve long-term competitive advantage. It refers to engaging in different activities from competitors or engaging in comparable activities but in various ways.

Companies can use strategic positioning as a key instrument to increase business profit. Determining how to set themselves apart from rivals may be a crucial step in developing the goal and operating principles of new businesses.

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data. What is the project's MIRR? Note t

jeka94

Answer:

the project's MIRR is 13.84 %

Explanation:

MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)

-It is the rate that causes the Present Value of the Terminal Value (Future Cash flows at the end of the Project) to equal Present Value of Cash outflows.

-MIRR assumes a reinvestment rate at the end of the project

The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 3.

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 3 - n)

= $450 x (1.09) ^ 2 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 1 + $450 x (1.09) ^ 0

= $534.65 + $490.50 + $450.00

= $1,475.15

The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :

(-$1,000) CFj

0 CFj

$1,475.15 CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 13.84 %

Therefore, the project's MIRR is 13.84 %.

Scrumptious Snacks Inc. manufactures three types of snack foods: tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels. The company has bud

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the number of processing hours:

Processing hours= (0.25*3,000) + (0.1*6,000) + (0.3*3,500)

Processing hours= 750 + 600 + 1,050

Processing hours= 2,400

Now, we can calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 207,000 / 2,400

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=$86.25 per processing hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Tortilla chips= 86.25*75= 64,687.5

Potato chips= 600*86.25= 51,750

Pretzels= 86.25*1,050= 90,562.5

Finally, the unitary cost:

Tortilla chips= 64,687.5 / 3,000= $21.56

Potato chips= 51,750 / 6,000= $8.63

Pretzels= 90,562.5 / 3,500= $25.88
