Based on the present value of the annual cash flows and the investment cost, the present value index is 1.39

<h3>How is the present value index calculated?</h3>

To find the present value index, use the formula:

= Present value of cash flow/Investment cost

The present value of cash flow is:

= Annual cash flows x Present value interest factor of annuity, 9%, 4 years

= 2,480 x 3.239719877

= $8,034.51

The present value index is:

= 8,034.51 / 5,800

= 1.39

The manager of a canned-food processing plant has two labeling machine options. on the basis of a rate of return analysis with a
Digiron [165]

We need to compare the present values (PV) of all the expenses of all the investments to make an investment decision. The formula of PV = ((C1/(1+r)1) + ((C2/(1+r)2) + ((C3/(1+r)3) +…….+ ((Cn/(1+r)n) + present value of investment – present value of the salvage value

Where, Cn refers to the expense incurred in the nth period and r is the rate of interest per period.

For Machine A, present value of the expenses is

= ((1600/(1+0.20)1) + ((1600/(1+0.20)2) + 15,000 – ((3000/(1+0.20)2)

= 1333.33 + 1111.11 + 15000 – 2083.33

= 15361.11

For Machine B, present value of the expenses is

= ((400/(1+0.20)1) + ((400/(1+0.20)2) + ((400/(1+0.20)3) + ((400/(1+0.20)4) + 25,000 - ((4000/(1+0.20)2)

= 333.33 + 277.77 + 25,000 – 2777.77

= 22833.33

We can see that Machine A is the least cost alternative; therefore, Machine A should be selected.

Stress Free Realty Co. pays weekly salaries of $12,625 on Monday for a six-day workweek ending the preceding Saturday. Journaliz
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is $10,520, and journal entry is shown below.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation for the given data are as follows:

Weekly salary = $12,625 ( for 6 days)

So, Salary per day = $12,625 ÷ 6 = $2,104.17

Now, Salary for 5 days ( i.e. Mon. - Fri) = $2,104.17 × 5 = $10,520.85 or $10,520.

So, the Journal entry  on Friday are as follows:

Salary expense A/c Dr. $10,520

To Outstanding salary A/c $10,520

( Being salary expense is recorded)

You are considering 2 investment alternatives. The first is a stock that pays quarterly dividends of $0.25 per share and is trad
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Option 1

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For option 1

Dividend received in 6 month is

= $0.25 × 2

= $0.50

Now  

Profit from the sale of stock is

= sale price - purchase price

= $24 - $20 i

= $4

So,

Net proceed received from stock is

= dividend + profit from the sale

= $0.50 + $4

= $4.50

Now

Holding period return for 6 months is

= (Net proceed received ÷ purchase price) ×100

= ($4.50 ÷ $20) × 100

= 22.5 %

So,  

Annualized holding period return is

= 22.5% × 2

= 45%

For  Option 2

Dividend received in 1 year is

= $0.50 × 4

= $2

Profit from sale of stock is

= $30 - $27

= $3

Net proceeds from stock is

= $2 + $3

= $5

So,

Annualized holding period return is

= ($5 ÷ $27) × 100

= 18.52%.

As we can see that option 1 contains higher return so it would be selected

You are the manager of a firm that receives revenues of $50,000 per year from product X and $90,000 per year from product Y. The
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$-120

Explanation:

Own Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

-3 = percentage change in quantity demanded / 2%

percentage change in quantity demanded = --3 x 2% = -6%

The quantity demanded of good X would fall by 6%

Revenue would change by -0.06 x  $50,000 = -$3000

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good Y to changes in price of good X.

1.6 = percentage change in quantity demanded of good Y / 2%

percentage change in quantity demanded of good Y = 1.6 x 2% = 3.2%

The quantity demanded of good Y would increase by 3.2%

Revenue would change by 0.032 x $90,000 = $2880

Total change = -$3000 + $2880 =-$120
