Answer:
Should Marston Manufacturing Company accept or reject the project?
Marston C Company should reject the project because its expected return is lower than Division H's cost of capital.
Since the divisions' risk is so different, and probably their projects are also very different, the company should use different costs of capital to accept of reject the projects based on each division's cost of capital.
Imagine another situation where Division L is evaluating a project that yields 10%. If they used the company's WACC, then they should reject the project, but if they used the division's cost of capital, then they should accept the project (in this case I would recommend accepting it).
Explanation:
Division H's risk = 14%
Division L's risk = 8%
WACC = 11%

Answer: b. can be used to purchase approximately the same amount of goods over time.
Explanation:
There are several functions of money including that it is a store of value. This means that it can be used to exchange for goods that have the same value over a period of time. For instance, $5 for a $5 plate of food.
It also means that it can be saved such that the value that it has will allow for people to be able to exchange for goods in future. This can only happen if it keeps its value over the same period of time.
Answer:
OPTION D: Direct Labor and Direct Material
Explanation:
Prime cost of a product is defined as the direct costs of producing a product including direct material costs and direct labor costs. Any other manufacturing overheads, indirect expenses and indirect materials/labor cost are not included in the calculation of PRIME COSTS
.
Prime Cost = Direct Material Cost + Direct Labor Cost
Therefore, OPTION D: direct Labor and direct materials is the correct definition of prime costs.
Answer:
Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
First investment = 2500
Investment increasing at rate of 10%
Interest rate = 13%
t=6 years
Present value is given by formula = C * [((1+g)^n/(1+i)^n) - 1 ] / (g-i)
C is first value = 2,500
g is increase in investment = 0.10
i is intrest rate = 0.13
n is no of years = 6
Putting values into the equation
P = 2500* [((1+ 0.10)^6/(1+0.13)^6) - 1 ] / (0.10-0.13) 1.771561 2.08195
P = 2500* [((1.10)^6/(1.13)^6) - 1 ] / (-0.03)
P = 2500* [0.8509142870866 - 1 ] / (-0.03)
P = 2500* (-0.14908571)/ (-0.03)
P = 2500* 4.9695236
P=$12,423.809
Future value = P*(1+i)^t
= $12,423.809 *(1+0.13)^6
= $25,865.74
Mark will have at the end of six years the amount of $25,865.74
