Orchard Farms has a pretax cost of debt of 7.29 percent and a cost of equity of 16.3 percent. The firm uses the subjective appro

ach to determine project discount rates. Currently, the firm is considering a project to which it has assigned an adjustment factor of 1.25 percent. The firm's tax rate is 35 percent and its debt-equity ratio is .48. The project has an initial cost of $3.9 million and produces cash inflows of $1.26 million a year for 5 years.

Answer: Net present value =  $446,556

Explanation:

First we'll compute the Weighted Average Cost of Capital :

Weighted Average Cost of Capital = K_{e} \times W_{e} + K_{d} \times W_{d}

= 0.163×\frac{1}{1.48} + 0.0729× (1 - 0.35 )× \frac{0.48}{1.48}  

= 0.1255

where;

K_{e} = Cost of equity

W_{e} = Proportion of equity

K_{d} = Cost of debt

W_{d} = Proportion of debt

Now, we'll compute the cost of capital using the following formula:

Cost of capital = Weighted Average Cost of Capital + adjustment factor

= 0.1255 + 0.0125

= 0.138 or 13.8%

∴ Net present value = Cash outflows - Total PV of cash flows

= $3,900,000 - $1,260,000 (Annuity value of 13.8% for 5 years)

= 3,900,000 - 1260000 \times \frac{[1-(1+13.8)^{-5}]}{13.8}

= $3,900,000 - $3,453,444

= $446,556

Therefore, the correct answer is option(b).

Qd = 600 – 4p – 0.03M – 12 Pr + 5T + 6Pe + 1.5N Where Qd = quantity demanded for commodity A; P = price of commodity A; M = cons
NISA [10]

Answer:

A. It implies a fixed 600 units of commodity A will always be demanded without being influenced by any factor that determine the quantity demanded for good ‘A'.

B. 4. Yes.  The reason is that the price of good A is indirectly proportional to the quantity demanded for good ‘A'.

C. It implies that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases by 0.03 as the consumer's income increases by $1. It is an inferior good.

d. Goods A and B are complements since the negative sign implies that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases as the  price of related commodity (good ‘B') (Pr) increases. The interpretation of the the slope parameter for the price of good B is that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases by 12 units as the price of related commodity (good ‘B') (Pr) increases by $1.

E. Yes, the algebraic signs on the slope parameters for T, Pe, and N are correct. The reason is that quantity demanded for good ‘A' will increase as each of T, Pe, and N increases.

f. Quantity demanded for good ‘A' is 2,374.

Explanation:

A. Interpret the intercept parameter in the generalized demand function.

In the generalized demand function, 600 represents the Interpret the intercept parameter.

This implies that 600 units is a fixed units of commodity A is demanded and this is not affected by any factors that determines the quantity demanded for good ‘A'.

Therefore, it implies 600 units of commodity A will always be demanded.

B. What is the value of the slope parameter for the price of good A? Does it have the correct algebraic sign? Why? 4. Yes since indirectly proportional.

From the generalized demand function, the value of the slope parameter for the price of good A is 4.

Yes, it has a the correct algebraic sign which is a minus sign.

The reason is that the price of good 'A' is indirectly proportional to the quantity demanded for good ‘A'.

C. Interpret the slope parameter for income for income. Is good ‘A' normal or inferior? Explain. 0.03. Since Em less than 1 it is normal goods

The slope parameter for income (M) is -0.03. This implies that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases by 0.03 as the consumer's income increases by $1.

It is an inferior good because the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases as the consumer's income increases.

d. Are goods A and B substitutes or complements? Why? Interpret the slope parameter for the price of good B.

Since the slope parameter for price of related commodity (good ‘B') (Pr) is negative (i.e. –12), this implies that goods A and B are complements.

The negative sign implies that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases as the  price of related commodity (good ‘B') (Pr) increases.

The interpretation of the the slope parameter for the price of good B is that the quantity demanded for good ‘A' decreases by 12 units as the price of related commodity (good ‘B') (Pr) increases by $1.

E. Are the algebraic signs on the slope parameters for T, Pe, and N correct? Explain

Yes, the algebraic signs on the slope parameters for T, Pe, and N are correct.

The reason is that quantity demanded for good ‘A' will increase as each of T, Pe, and N increases. This implies that there is a positive relationship between the quantity demanded for good ‘A' and each of T, Pe, and N.

f. Calculated the quantity demanded for good ‘A' when P = $15, M = $25000, Pr = $40, T = 6.5, Pe = $5.25 and N = 2000?

Given;

Qd = 600 – 4p – 0.03M – 12 Pr + 5T + 6Pe + 1.5N ............... (1)

Each of the value is then substituted into equation (1) and we then calculate as follows:

Qd = 600 - (4 * 15) - (0.03 * 25000) - (12 * 40) + (5 * 6.5) + (6 * 5.25) + (1.5 * 2000)

Qd = 2,374

The identification of the cost driver is presented below:

This identification is required so that the indirect cost can be allocated according to the each cost pool

Machine setup, indirect materials = Number of setups

Inspections = Number of inspections

Test = Number of test

Insurance, plant = Machine hours or square feet

Engineering design = Engineering Hours

Depreciation, machinery = Machine hours

Machine setup, indirect labor = Number of setups

Property taxes = Machine hours or square feet

Oil, heating = Machine hours or square feet

Electricity, plant lighting = Machine hours or square feet

Engineering prototypes = Engineering Hours

Depreciation, plant = Machine hours or square feet

Electricity, machinery  = Machine hours

Bonita Corporation had net income of $1550000 and paid dividends to common stockholders of $400000 in 2017. The weighted average
artcher [175]

Answer:

16 times

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Bonita Corporation's price-earnings ratio is

Price-earnings ratio= ($1550000 -$400000)/387500

Price-earnings ratio=$1,150,000/387500

Price-earnings ratio=2.97

Price-earnings ratio= 48/2.97

Price-earnings ratio=16 times

Therefore Bonita Corporation's price-earnings ratio is 16 times
