Answer:
ROI = net profit / total investment
1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division
- ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 = 15.06%
2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?
- ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) = 14.36%
If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.
3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?
- Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.
Answer: a. 0.042 b. 0.086 c. 0.00692
Explanation:
NOTE: Convert months to years. So 24 months = 2 years.
a. Six months
Months to year conversion gives: 6months/24months as 1/4 years
= (1 + 18%)^ 1/4 — 1 x 100%
= 1.042 — 1
= 0.042
Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.042
b. One year
12months/24months as 1/2 years
= (1 + 18%)^1/2 — 1 x 100%
= 0.086
Equivalent Discount Rate = 0.086
c. 1 month
1month/24months as 1/24 years
= (1 + 18%)^1/24 — 1 x 100%
= 0.00692
Your answer would be, If the Marginal Product of labor increases/rises, The Marginal Cost of Output FALLS.
If the Marginal Product of labor Falls, The Marginal Cost of Output RISES.

Answer:
$544.265
Explanation:
Given:
FV = $1,000
Yield to maturity = 5.2%
N = 12 years
Required:
Find the value of the zero coupon bond.
Use the formula:
PV = FV * PVIF(I/Y, N)
Thus,
PV = 1000 * PVIF(5.2%, 12)
= 1000 * 0.544265
= $544.265
The value of the zero coupon bond is $544.3
Answer:
a) Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process for the month was $70,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
The total of the Manufacturing Overhead account = $58,000 i.e incurred
And, the total of credit to the account = $70,000 i.e applied amount
So according to the given data, the manufacturing overhead should be applied to the work in process with the total credit amount i.e $70,000
Hence, the first option is correct
