Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $684,500 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated stra

ight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $66,600 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $92,500 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 21 percent and your required return on the project is 21 percent and your pretax cost savings are $203,750 per year. At what level of pretax cost savings would you be indifferent between accepting the project and not accepting it?

Answer:

total pretax annual savings = $210,941.06

Explanation:

initial outlay (year 0) = -$684,500 (cost of computer system) + $92,500 (reduction of net working capital) = -$592,000

depreciation expense per year = $684,500 / 5 = $136,900

net after tax cash value = $66,600 x (1 - 21%) = $52,614

net cash flows years 1 - 4 = [($203,750 - $136,900) x 79%] + $136,900 = $189,711.50

net cash flow year 5 = $189,711.50 + $52,614 = $242,325.50

using a 21% discount rate, the NPV = -$16,622.15

Since the NPV is negative, that means that the annual cost savings are not high enough to accept the project.

the point where the company would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project is when NPV = 0

this means that net cash flows must increase by $16,622.15 / 2.92595 (PV annuity factor, 21%, 5 periods) = $5,680.94

this is an after tax number, but a pretax annual cost saving = $5,608.94 / 0.79 = $7,191.06

total pretax annual savings = $203,750 + $7,191.06 = $210,941.06

net cash flows years 1 - 4 = [($210,941.06 - $136,900) x 79%] + $136,900 = $195,392.44

net cash flow year 5 = $195,392.44 + $52,614 = $248,006.44

NPV = 0

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

73,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units for conversion costs is shown below:-

Equivalent units = Units transferred ÷ Finished goods + (Units in closing Work in progress × Percentage of completion)

= (8,000 + 69,000 - 5,000) + (5,000 × 20%)

= 72,000 + 1,000

= 73,000 units

Therefore for computing the Equivalent units we simply applied the above formula.

On January 1, 2021, Perez Co. issued at par $10,000 of 6% bonds convertible in total into 1,000 shares of Perez's common stock.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

EPS = $4.50

diluted EPS = $2.46

Explanation:

no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.  

common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks

bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks

net income = $4,500

bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420

diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
