Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its ex

isting machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.

Answer:

NPV = 37,599 Negative

Explanation:

We can calculate the NPV of the new sewing machine by deducting the Present value of future cash inflows by Investment

Initial investment = Machine cost + Training cost - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should not purchase the new machine as the NPV of the machine is negative

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$3,927

Explanation:

For the computation of bid price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead rate = Overhead cost ÷ Machine hours

= 45,000 ÷ 100,000

= $0.45

Total manufacturing cost charged to the school

= 2,000 + 400 + (900 × 0.45)

= $2,805

Markup cost = $2,805 × 0.4

= $1,122

Bid price of job = Total manufacturing cost charged to school + Markup cost

= $2,805 + $1,122

= $3,927

The country of Leverett is a small open economy. Use the information provided below to answer the following questions about nati
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.

Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).

The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.

Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that  the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.

b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad  becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.
