Answer:

Let us assume that both the industries are having an investment of $100,000

The profit of the given industry which is having 10% rate of return will be $100,000 * 10% = $10,000

The other industry which is having the Rate of return of 5% will earn a profit of $100,000 * 5% = $5000.

As the capital is just half of the revenue, it signifies that the total revenue will be $200,000 . So the same value of $10,000 will be 5% of the total revenue.  On the other hand, $5,000 would be 2.5% of total revenue.

Thus, the first stated industry will charge 2.5% more than the other industry.

mina [271]

Answer:

$415

Explanation:

For computing the sales per unit first we have to determine the total sales value which is shown below:

Direct Production costs (1,000 units × $125)   $125,000

Fixed Overhead costs for the year = $20,000 × 12 months = $240,000

Total Costs for the year              $365,000

Gross Profit desired (1,000 units × $50)   $50,000

Total Sales Value desired = Costs + Profit $415,000

Now

Sales price per unit is

= $415,000 ÷ 1,000 units

= $415

This is the answer but the same is not provided

Bob bought some land costing $16,390. today, that same land is valued at $46,817. How long has bob owned this land if the price
faltersainse [42]

Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Given that land was bought by Bob for $16390, the price is increasing at the rate of 6%, price of land today is $46817.

We are required to find the time for which Bob need to own the land so that the price of the land is $46817 today.

Compounding means calculating amount on the principal and the amount added interest.

Rate of increasing the price of land be 6%.

Price when Bob bought the land=$16390.

Price of land today=$46817.

It is like compounding of interest and the sum is calculated as under:

S=P*(1+r)^{n}

In the above equation P is theamount at beginning,r is rate of increasing and n is the number of years.

46817=16390(1+0.06)^{n}

46817/16390=(1.06)^{n}

(1.06)^{n}=2.8564

(1.06)^{n}=(1.06)^{18}  (Approximately)

From both the sides we will get n=18.

Hence Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

machine's cost = $200,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 = $240,000

useful life of 4 years

salvage value of $25,000, depreciable value = $215,000

MACRS 3-year asset:

  • 0.333 x $215,000 = $71,595
  • 0.445 x $215,000 = $95,675
  • 0.148 x $215,000 = $31,820
  • 0.074 x $215,000 = $15,910

incremental sales of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

  • 1,250 x $200 = $250,000
  • 1,250 x $206 = $257,500
  • 1,250 x $212.18 = $265,225
  • 1,250 x $218.55 = $273,188

incremental COGS of 1,250 units per year, during 4 years:

  • 1,250 x $100 = $125,000
  • 1,250 x $103 = $128,750
  • 1,250 x $106.09 = $132,613
  • 1,250 x $109.27 = $136,588

net working capital increases by 12% of sales revenue = $250,000 x 12% = $30,000

WACC = 10%

tax rate = 40%

initial investment = $240,000 (machine cost) + $30,000 (working capital) = $270,000

  • net cash year 1 = [($250,000 - $125,000 - $71,595) x (1 - 40%)] + $71,595 = $103,638
  • net cash year 2 = [($257,500 - $128,750 - $95,675) x (1 - 40%)] + $95,675 = $115,520
  • net cash year 3 = [($265,225 - $136,588 - $31,820) x (1 - 40%)] + $31,820 = $92,295
  • net cash year 4 = [($273,188 - $136,588 - $15,910) x (1 - 40%)] + $15,910 = $88,324 + $25,000 (salvage value) + $30,000 (net working capital) = $143,324

to calculate the present value:

PV = $103,638/1.1 + $115,520/1.1² + $92,295/1.1³ + $143,324/1.1⁴ = $94,216 + $95,471 + $69,343 + $97,892 = $356,922

NPV = $356,922 - $270,000 = $86,922

Sales                               $7,906,000        $6,726,000

Accounts receivable

Beginning balance          $600,000            $540,000

Ending balance                $580,000             $600,000

Accounts receivable       $590,000             $570,000

Average Accounts receivable for 2019 = ($600,000 + $580,000) ÷ 2

= $590,000

Average Accounts receivable for 2018 =  ($540,000 + $600,000) ÷ 2

= $570,000
