The net present value of the proposed project is closest to -$80,822.
Since the project saves $80,000 in costs each year, we treat these savings income for the next 4 years. We then calculate the Present value Interest Factor of an annuity using the formula :
PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1+r)⁻ⁿ ] } ÷ r
PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1.09)⁻⁴ ] } ÷ 0.09
PVIF of an annuity = 3.240 (rounded to three decimals)
PV of the cost savings = (3.240*80000) = $2,59,178 (rounded to nearest $)
NPV = PV of cost savings - Value of investment
NPV = 2,59,178
- 3,40,000
Answer:
Social welfare
Explanation:
The term <u><em>“social welfare”</em></u> does not have a precise definition. Currently, social welfare refers to a wide range of activities and services by volunteers, non-profit organizations and governmental agencies providing help to needy persons unable to care for themselves; activities and resources designed to enhance or promote the well-being of individuals, families and the larger society; and efforts to eliminate or reduce the incidence of social problems
Answer:
The alternative that should be chosen assuming identical replacement is:
Alternative B.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Alternatives:
A B
First Cost $5,000 $9,200
Uniform Annual Benefit $1,750 $1,850
Useful life, in years 4 8
Rate of return 7% 7%
Annuity factor 3.387 5.971
Present value of annuity $5,927.25 $11,046.35
Net cash flow $927.25 $1,846.35
b) Alternative B yields a higher return than Alternative A. Since the two alternatives are based on the same rate of return, Alternative B will bring in a higher annual benefit, even when discounted to the present value.

Answer: c. machine hours.
Explanation:
In reference to Automated Operations, the Activity base that is usually used to in determining a pre-determined overhead rate are Machine hours.
It is standard practice to relate overhead to the Direct Labor involved in the production of a commodity and since in this case the direct Labor mostly consists of Machines (Automated) then it is best to relate activities to the Machine hours involved instead.
