The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations
Explanation:
The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.
A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.
The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.
The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:
a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)
b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)
c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Answer:
$7.60 per unit of output
Explanation:
Budgeted output units 51,000 units
Budgeted machine−hours 10,200 hours
Budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs for 51,000 units $387,600
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of output = $387,600 / 51,000 units = $7.60 per unit of output
In this case, the applied variable overhead rate = 35,750 units x $7.60 = $271,700, which would have been under-applied since the actual variable overhead costs were much higher, $328,900.

Answer:
$8.19 million
Explanation:
A movie star was paid $1 million in 1960 to do a movie
The CPI was 29.3 in 1960
The CPI in 2014 was 240
Therefore the amount that was earned in dollars by the movie star in 2014 can be calculated as follows
= 240/29.3
= 8.19 × $1 million
= $8.19 million
Hence the movie star earned $8.19 million in 2014
