You are considering two independent projects that have differing requirements. Project A has a required return of 12 percent com

pared to Project B’s required return of 13.5 percent. Project A costs $75,000 and has cash flows of $21,000, $49,000, and $12,000 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. Project B has an initial cost of $70,000 and cash flows of $15,000, $18,000, and $41,000 for Years 1 to 3, respectively. Given this information, you should:
1. accept both Project A and Project B.
2. accept Project A and reject Project B.
3. accept Project B and reject Project A.
4. reject both Project A and Project B.

Answer:

4. reject both Project A and Project B.

their NPV are negative so are not profitable.

Explanation:

We have to calculate the present value of the projects at their return rate

<u>Project A</u>

Present value of the cash flow - investment = net present value

\frac{21,000}{(1.12)^{1} } = PV

\frac{49,000}{(1.12)^{2} } = PV

\frac{12,000}{(1.12)^{3} } = PV

-75,000 + PV 21,000 + PV 49,000 + PV 12,000

-75,000 + 18,750 + 39062.5 + 8,541.36 = -8646.14

<u>Project B</u>

Present value of the cash flow - investment = net present value

-70,000 + PV 15,000 + PV 18,000 + PV 41,000

\frac{15,000}{(1.135)^{1} } = PV

\frac{18,000}{(1.135)^{2} } = PV

\frac{41,000}{(1.135)^{3} } = PV

-70,000 + 13215.86 + 13972.71 + 28041.18 = -14770.25

Borrowed 152300 for three years if the qouted rate (apr) is 11.75% and the compounding is daily what is the effective annual rat
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "12.47%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Borrowed amount,

= 152300

APR,

= 11.75%

i.e.,

= 0.1175

Now,

The effective annual rate will be:

= (\frac{1+APR}{n} )^n

On substituting the given values, we get

= (\frac{1+0.1175}{365} )^{365}

= (\frac{1.1175}{365} )^{365}

= 1.12466-1

= 0.1247 \ or \ 12.47 \ percent

Downs Tax Planning Service bought communications equipment for $9,600 on January 1, 2017. It has an estimated useful life of fiv
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$960

Explanation:

For computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the depreciation expense which is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($9,600 - $0) ÷ (5 years)

= ($9,600) ÷ (5 years)  

= $1,920

This is a full year depreciation but we have to find out for June 30,2017 i.e 6 months

= $1,920 ÷ 12 months × 6 months

= $960

The same is recorded as an accumulated depreciation

xenn [34]

Answer:

a) $17.70

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations

Applied manufacturing overheads is

= $13,850 + $294,130

= $307,980

And,

Applied manufacturing overheads is

= predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor hours

Hence predetermined overhead rate is

= $307,980 ÷ 174,00 hours  

= $17.70

Therefore, the correct option is d. $17.70

A car rental agency rents 200 cars per day at a rate of 29 dollars per day. For each 1 dollar increase in the daily rate, 5 fewe
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Total car = 200

Rate = $29

Computation:

Total increase in rate = a

So , Total decrees in car = 5a

Total income (y) = [200-5a][29+a]

y = 5,800 + 200a - 145a - 5a²

y = 5,800 + 55a - 5a²

y' = dy / da [5,800 + 55a - 5a²]

y' = -10a + 55

in which , y' = 0

0 = -10a + 55

a = 5.5

So , Maximum rate = $ [29+5.5]

Maximum rate = $34.5

maximum income = 5,800 + 55(5.5)- 5(5.5)²

maximum income = 5,800 + 302.5 - 151.25

maximum income = $5951.25

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

a)

Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%

b)

Tax Rate = 40%    

Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%  

So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%

Explanation:

Bond Par Value =  12,900,000  

Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000  

Years To maturity = 5.00  

Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100

Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]

Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3

Year to maturity = 7.33%
