Sheridan Company thinks machine hours is the best activity base for its manufacturing overhead. The estimate of annual overhead

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$127,500

Explanation:

The Estimated Overhead cost of $2,550,000 divided by the budgeted machine hours of 20,000 gives us the overhead rate per machine hour of $127.50.

This rate will then be multiplied by the machine hours used by Job No. B12.

So, Overhead Rate of $127.50 multiplied by 1,000 machine hours will give $127,5000 which is the overhead cost that should be applied to Job No. B12 .

Note: Don't use the overhead incurred ($2,700,000) because this is the "Actual" overhead and the problem requires the "Applied" amount which is based on estimates.

Toy Town is considering a new toy that will cost $49,100 in startup costs. The toy is expected to produce cash flows of $47,500

Tasya [4]

Answer:

NPV with a 14.9% discount rate: 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

IRR = 26.65%

Explanation:

First we calculate for the NPV using the given discount rate of 14.9%

We will calculate the present value of each year cash inflow:

$\frac{inflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Year 1 cash inflow: 47,500.00

time 1.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{47500}{(1 + 0.149)^{1} } = PV$

PV 41,340.30

Year 2 cash inflow: 18,600.00

time 2.00

rate 0.149

$\frac{18600}{(1 + 0.149)^{2} } = PV$

PV 14,088.76

Then, we add them and subtract the investment to get NPV

NPV = 14,088.76 + 41,340.3 - 49,100 = 6,329.06

The toy should be produced as the NPV is positive.

Now for the IRR

That is the rate at which NPV equals zero we can solve for this using the quadratic equation as there are only two cash flow:

Year 1 will discount at (1+IRR)

Year 2 will be discount at (1+IRR )^2

So we can express and recreate the quadratic formula:

18,600 X^2 + 47,500 X - 49,500 = 0

A = 18,600

B = 47,500

C = -49,100

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}\\x_2 = \frac{-b -\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac}}{2a}$

We can solve and get:

x1 = 0.78957

x2 = -3.3433

We take the positive value.

and now solve for IRR

$\frac{1}{1+ IRR} = 0.78957\\IRR = \frac{1}{0.78957} -1$

IRR = 0,2665121 = 26.65%

This will be the IRR for the project.
