Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain
Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain
Both designs are assumed to be permanent
To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:
Each design is permanent so
Present value of perpetuity:
Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r
Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r
=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r
135000/r=1900000
Cross multiply
r=135000/1900000
r= 0.0710
r=7.10%
B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%
MARR>ROR
Hence we reject both designs
Answer:
48.00%
Explanation:
For computing the debt to capital ratio, first we have to determine the equity value and debt value which is shown below:
Equity value = Number of outstanding shares × stock price per share
= 5.2 million shares × $12
= $62.4 million
We know,
Total capital = Debt + equity
$120 million = Debt + $62.4 million
So, the debt would be
= $120 million - $62.4 million
= $57.6 million
Now the debt to capital ratio would be
= $57.6 million ÷ $120 million
= 48.00%
Answer:
B. A strategic action because such a large plant expansion will require a major commitment of resources.
Explanation:
There are two major forms of action in business decision making: strategic and tactical. Strategic action deals with decision that require major planning and investment of resource. Strategic actions have long term implementation and effect and are difficult to reverse.
Tactical actions, on the other hand, are flexible and involves actions taken on short term basis. Tactical actions are majorly bye-product of strategic decision.
On this note, Circus Aircraft`s decision to double its plant capacity over the next two years is a strategic action because such a large plant expansion will require a major commitment of resources. And the action will not easily reversible.
Other options in the question are not totally right.
