Markets typically trade short-term, highly liquid securities.

Which of the following investments has a higher present value, assuming the same (strictly positive) interest rate applies to bo

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

B. Investment Y has a higher present value.

Explanation:

The cash inflows are given in the question for Investment X and Investment Y

Plus we know that the cash inflows and the number of years has an indirect relation

That means if the cash flows are the same for year 1 and 2 and in year 3 and year 4 so year 1 and year 2 present value would be higher as compared with the last year present value

Since in the question Investment Y has higher cash inflows in starting year but in Investment X has higher cash inflows in last year that interprets Investment Y has a higher present value

Dozier Company produced and sold 1,000 units during its first month of operations. It reported the following costs and expenses

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Required 1

Part a

Total Product cost = Variable manufacturing costs + Fixed manufacturing costs

where,

Variable manufacturing costs = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50

Fixed manufacturing costs = $32,500 ÷ 1,000 units = $32.50

therefore,

Total Product cost = $147.50 + $32.50 = $180.00

Part b

Total period cost = variable non- manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs

where,

variable non- manufacturing costs = $15,000 + $5,500 = $20,500

fixed non-manufacturing costs = $24,000 + $28,000 = $52,000

therefore,

Total period cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

Required 2

Part a

total direct manufacturing cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Direct (Variable) Manufacturing Overheads

therefore,

total direct manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

Part b

total indirect manufacturing cost = fixed manufacturing costs

therefore

total indirect manufacturing cost = $32,500

Required 3

Part a

total manufacturing cost = variable manufacturing cost + fixed manufacturing costs

therefore,

total manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $180,000

Part b

total non-manufacturing cost = variable non-manufacturing cost + fixed non-manufacturing cost

therefore,

total non-manufacturing cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

Part c

total conversion cost = direct labor cost + manufacturing overheads

therefore,

total conversion cost = $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $96,000

prime cost = direct material + direct labor

therefore,

prime cost = $84,000 + $42,500 = $126,500

Required 4

Part a

total variable manufacturing cost = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing costs

therefore,

total variable manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

Part b

total fixed cost = fixed manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs

therefore,

total fixed cost = $32,500 + $52,000 = $84,500

Part c

variable cost per unit produced and sold = variable manufacturing cost + variable non-manufacturing

therefore,

variable cost per unit produced and sold = $147.50 + ($20,500 ÷ 1,000) = $168.00

Required 5

incremental manufacturing costs = variable manufacturing costs

therefore,

incremental manufacturing cost = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50

Sarasota Company has a factory machine with a book value of $86,300 and a remaining useful life of 7 years. It can be sold for $

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

See the explanation for answer

Explanation:

Analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced is as prepared below:

Retain Replace Net Income

Equipment Equipment Increase(Decrease)

Variable manufacturing costs 43,63,100 32,32,600 11,30,500

New machine costs 0 3,59,000 -3,59,000

Sell old machine 0 -33,500 33,500

Total 43,63,100 35,58,100 8,05,000

The old factory machine should be replaced as there is increase in net income by 805,000 when old machine is replaced.

You’ve collected the following information from your favorite financial website.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

-9.92%

Explanation:

P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)

Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
Re = cost of equity = ?
P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%

Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g

Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%

Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%

Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
