An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains​ strong, the investment will result

in a profit of ​$60 comma 000. If the economy grows at a moderate​ pace, the investment will result in a profit of ​$10 comma 000. ​However, if the economy goes into​ recession, the investment will result in a loss of ​$60 comma 000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20​% probability the economy will remain​ strong, a 60​% probability the economy will grow at a moderate​ pace, and a 20​% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this​ investment?

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the expected profit from this investment is shown below:

= Strong profit × Strong percentage + Moderate profit × moderate percentage - recession losses × recession percentage

= $60,000 × 20% + $10,000 × 60% - $60,000 × 20%

= $12,000 + $6,000 - $12,000

= $6,000

By adding the three situations we can get the expected profit from this investment

​​Lakeside, Inc. estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year at $371,000​, based on 180,000 estimated direct labor hours
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

D.$400 over allocated

Explanation:

For computing the over-allocated or under-allocated amount, first, we have to determine the predetermined overhead rate which is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $371,000 ÷ 180,000 hours

= $2.06

Now we have to find the actual overhead which equals to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 190,000 hours × $2.06

= $391,400

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $391,000 - $391,400

= $400 over - applied

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

initial investment $100,000

useful life 15 years

cash flow per year = -$2,000 + $12,000 = $10,000

discount rate 5%

discounted cash flow:

1                $10,000/1.05 = $9,524

2               $10,000/1.05² = $9,070

3               $10,000/1.05³ = $8,638

4               $10,000/1.05⁴ = $8,227

5               $10,000/1.05⁵ = $7,835

6               $10,000/1.05⁶ = $7,462

7               $10,000/1.05⁷ = $7,101

8               $10,000/1.05⁸ = $6,768

9               $10,000/1.05⁹ = $6,446

10              $10,000/1.05¹⁰ = $6,139

11               $10,000/1.05¹¹ = $5,847

12              $10,000/1.05¹² = $5,568

13              $10,000/1.05¹³ = $5,303

14              $10,000/1.05¹⁴ = $5,051

15              $10,000/1.05¹⁵ = $4,810

A) discounted pay back period = 14.2 years

B) if the decision rule is a discounted payback period of 3 years, then the project should be rejected

C) the decision rule should be the NPV, which is actually positive since the DPBP is less than 15 years. Only companies that fear premature obsolescence should base their decision on the pay back period. Since this is an electronics company, it is sound to use the pay back period as a decision parameter besides the NPV.
