Answer:

a. The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the  initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.

Explanation:

a . Total initial cost = 4600*5

                                = $23000

Total Salvage Value = 300*5

                                   = $1500

Operating cost = $1000 with a gradient of $100.

PV of operating cost = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/A,5,10%)(A/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000*3.7908 + 100*3.7908*1.8101

                                    = 3790.8 + 686.17

                                     = $4476.97

PV of salvage value = 1500(P/F,5,10%)

                                  =1500*0.6209

                                  = $931.35

NPV = -23000 - 4476.97 + 931.35

        = - $26545.62

annual revenue to get $26545 = 26545.62(A/P,5,10%)

                                                     = 26545.62*0.2638

                                                      = $7002.73

Annual Revenue = $7002.73

Therefore, The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.

Anika [276]

Answer:

$8,800 favourable

Explanation:

The computation of direct material quantity variance is seen below;

= Standard price × ( Standard quantity - Actual quantity)

= $4 × [(2 gallons × 7,200 units) - 12,200 gallons)

= $4 (14,400 gallons - 12,200 gallons)

= $4 × 2,200 gallons

= $8,800 favorable

Therefore, the direct materials quantity variance for last month is $8,800 favourable

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Option A is correct one.

<u>Managing & Franchising s asset turnover ratio at 17.6% suggests inefficiency when compared to Hotel Ownership</u>

Explanation:

The ratio of the operating return on sales for hotel ownership is:

474/1886 = 0.25

The asset turn-over for hotel ownership is :

1886/492.5 = 0.38 = 38%

Now, for managing and franchising :

The ratios are:

Operating return to sales = 113/ 120 = 0.94

Asset Turnover = 120/680 = 0.1765 = 17.65%.
