Using a 14% cost of capital, calculate the net present value for each of the independent projects shown in the following table,

and indicate whether each is acceptable. Initial investment: Pr. A -20,000, Pr. B -600,000, Pr. C -150,000, Pr. D -760,000, Pr. E -100,000 Cash inflows: Project A Years 1-10 3,000 each yr. Project B 120,000, 145,000, 170,000, 190,000, 220,000, 240,000 Project C 18,000, 17,000 ,16,000 , 15,000, 14,000, 13,000, 12,000, 11,000, 10,000.

Answer:

For project A ,

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A isn't acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project B ,

NPV = $67,678.24

The project is acceptable because the NPV is postive

For project C,

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C isnt acceptable because the NPV is negative

For project D,

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

For project E ,

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is acceptable because the NPV is postive.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

For project A,

Cash flow in year 0 =  -20,000

Cash flow each year from year 1-10 = 3,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-4,351.65

The project A shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Project B,

Cash flow in year 0 = $ -600,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 120,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 145,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 170,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 190,000

Cash flow in year 5 =220,000

Cash flow in year 6= 240,000 

I = 14%

NPV = $67,678.24

The project should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. C ,

Cash flow in year 0 = -150,000, 

Cash flow in year 1 = 18,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 17,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 16,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 15,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 14,000,

Cash flow in year 6 = 13,000

Cash flow in year 7 = 12,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 11,000

Cash flow in year 9= 10,000

I = 14%

NPV = $-76,528.17

The project C shouldn't be embarked on because the NPV is negative

For Pr. D,

Cash flow in year 0 = -760,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = 185,000 

I = 14%

NPV = $98,189.82

Project D should be embarked on because the NPV is postive.

For Pr. E,

Cash flow in year 0 = -100,000

Cash flow each year for year 1 to 3 = 0 cash flow in year 4 = 25,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 36,000

Cssh flpw in year 6 = 0

Cash flow in year 7 = 60,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 72,000

Cash flow in year 9 = 84,000.

I = 14%

NPV = $8,548.44

Project E is profitable and can be undertaken.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.06 direct labor-hours.

The direct labor rate is $8.00 per direct labor-hour.

The production budget calls for producing 5,300 units in June and 5,800 units in July.

<u>Direct labor budget June:</u>

Direct labor hours= 5,300*0.06= 318

Direct labor cost= 318*8= $2,544

<u>Direct labor budget July:</u>

Direct labor hours= 5,800*0.06= 348

Direct labor cost= 348*8= $2,784

Ordinary simple interest brings increased revenue to the lender. The general practice
densk [106]

Answer:

Exact = $34.5

Ordinary = $35

Explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P = $1500

Interest rate = 14% = 0.14

Number of days = 60

For exact :

Exact simple interest uses 365 days :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 365 = 34.520547 = $34.5

For ordinary simple interest :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 360 = $35

Suppose a person's utility is only a function of their consumption of diet soda and they do not care which brand, diet coke (dc)
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: b). falls from a positive amount to another positive amount

Explanation: Given that diet coke and diet pepsi give the consumer equal level of satisfaction. Diet coke and diet pepsi are substitutes, since, the consumer does not care about consuming diet pepsi and diet coke.  For substitute goods the consumer will buy the cheapest of the two. When pdc (price of diet coke) rises but it remains less than pdp(price of diet pepsi) then the consumption of dc will decrease but it will still be above the consumption of dp. Since it is still relatively less expensive than diet pepsi. So the consumer will buy diet coke than diet pepsi, which means consumption of diet coke, dc falls from one positive amount to another positive amount.

10. Which of the following factors should be considered when deciding on a career choice? Select
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

A career is a type of occupation that is done during a specific period of time. Careers offer a chance for progress. When choosing a career, one should consider the following factors;

1. Job requirements

One should consider the job requirements of that particular career since these requirements always determine how well one will perform in his/her career. The job requirements to be considered are; education level, level of expertise needed, and the experience.

2. Short-term goals

A short term goal is a set of predetermined achievements that one needs to attain usually in a short time frame. A career is an undertaking that is always long-term and therefor needs long-term goals rather than short-term goals.

3. Skills and interests

A skill is a particular set of capabilities that enables one to perform better at a certain job. Some careers need a specific set of skills that if one cannot develop or acquire, then the career undertaking might prove very difficult. An interest is something that you like. It is always advisable to choose a career that you are interested in, since this gives one the passion to pursue it.

4. Ease of job search

The career that you want to pursue should be one that is marketable. Getting a job for a marketable career is much easier than one that is not as marketable. This helps in avoidance of frustrations of failed job searches.

Gnesinka [82]
The hotel's quick action in response to a serious situation was likely due to CYBER SECURITY BREACH. It is a threat not only to the customers but to the hotel business as well because with this breach, customers will find it hard to trust said hotel again. 

Because confidential data like credit card information were stolen, they need to immediately inform their customers to ensure that the customers will take the necessary steps in protecting themselves from having their identity stolen and from having their credit cards used in purchasing items they are not aware off.
