Answer:

Wanda is most likely to refuse.

Explanation:

The stage 4 of Kohlberg's Moral Development Model is defined as the Law and Order Orientation Stage, in which doing what is dutiful is paramount. If Wanda accepted his supervisor's demands, she would be breaking a law (the GAAP), and this act would therefore go against what the Kohlberg's model proposes. She will most likely respect the law despite the conquesequences that this might have on her personal life (for example, being fired).

Answer:

What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity?

The IRR rule basically states that if the project's internal rate of return (IRR) is higher than the cost of capital (discount rate or WACC), then the project should be accepted. In this case, we are not given the company's WACC or any discount rate we can use, therefore there is nothing to compare the project's IRR against.

Based on prior experience, this project's IRR will not be very high and if we consider the cost of keeping the site clean forever, I really doubt that the project is profitable. If you calculate the project's IRR without including the perpetual cleaning cost, IRR = 11%.

If we assume any of the 3 WACCs I used as an example below, the project's IRR including cleaning costs:

  • if WACC = 12%, then IRR = 9.26% REJECTED
  • if WACC = 10%, then IRR = 8.98% REJECTED
  • if WACC = 9%, then IRR = 8.79% REJECTED
  • if WACC = 8%, then IRR = 8.54% ACCEPTED

In order for this project to be profitable, the WACC would need to be very low (around 8% or less).

Explanation:

cost of opening a new mine $120 million

annual cash flow $20 million

expected cleaning costs $2 per year in perpetuity

the cost of keeping the site clean forever = $2 million / discount rate or WACC:

  • if WACC = 12%, then perpetual cost = $16.67 million
  • if WACC = 10%, then perpetual cost = $20 million
  • if WACC = 9%, then perpetual cost = $22.22 million
  • if WACC = 8%, then perpetual cost = $25 million

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $13.58

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model approach, we can calculate the price of the stock today. DDM bases the price of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The dividends and the terminal value are discounted back to the present value using the required rate of return on the stock. The price per share today for this stock will be,

P0 = 0.75 / (1+0.17)^3  +  0.75 * (1+0.48)  /  (1+0.17)^4  +  

0.75 * (1+0.48)^2  /  (1+0.17)^5  +  

[(0.75 * (1+0.48)^2 *(1+0.1) / (0.17 - 0.1)) / (1+0.17)^5 ]

P0 = $13.584 rounded off to $13.58

Janet Foster bought a computer and printer at Computerland. The printer had a $900 list price with a $100 trade discount and 2/1
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Janet Foster

a. Janet could save $12.44 on the printer by borrowing $800 to take advantage of the cash discount.

b. On the computer, the difference in the final payment between choices 1 and 2 is $197.

It is advisable for Janet to choose the first option.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Printer:

List price of printer = $900

Trade discount =          100

Purchase cost =        $800

Cash discount terms = 2/10, n/30

Cash discount = $16 ($800 * 2%)

Interest on loan to purchase printer = $3.56 ($800 * 8% * 20/360)

Savings if loan is borrowed = $12.44 ($16 - $3.56)

Computer:

List price = $4,060

Trade discount = 25% or $1,015 ($4,060 * 25%)

Purchase cost = $3,045

Payment options:

1) = $160 * 17 months = $2,720

Balance on 18th month    325

Total payment =           $3,045

2) = Payment with 8% interest for 18 months equal payment = $180.08

From an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  18

I/Y (Interest per year)  8

PV (Present Value)   $3,045

FV (Future Value)  0

P/Y (# of periods per year)  12

C/Y (# of times interest compound per year)  12

PMT made at the end of each period

Results

PMT = $180.08

Sum of all periodic payments $3,241.48

Total Interest $196.48

Difference in final payment:

Choice 1 , total payment =    $3,045

Choice 2, total payment =    $3,242

Difference in final payment = $197

Answer:

A) Outsourcing

Explanation:

Outsourcing refers to a business practice where a company gets some of the intermediate goods or services it needs from external suppliers (other companies).

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Gross Profit in Year 1 = $200000

so correct option is B. $200,000

Explanation:

given data

historical preservation project = $2,500,000

time = 2 year

estimated costs = $2,000,000

Actual costs Years 1 = $800,000

Actual costs Years 2 = $900,000

to find out

what amount of gross profit would Superior report in Year 1

solution

we find here first Percentage Completion that is express as

Percentage Completion = Cost to date ÷  Estimated Total Cost  .............1

put her value we get

Percentage Completion = \frac{800000}{2000000}

Percentage Completion  = 40%

and

Revenue Recognized will be here

Revenue Recognized = Percentage Completion  × Total estimated Revenue   ...............2

Revenue Recognized = 40 % × 25000000

Revenue Recognized = 1000,0000

so here Gross Profit in Year 1  will be  

Gross Profit in Year 1 = Revenue Recognized - Cost to date of year 1   ..............3

Gross Profit in Year 1 =   1000,0000 - v800000

Gross Profit in Year 1 = $200000

so correct option is B. $200,000
