In an effort to reduce pipe breakage, water hammer, and product agitation, a French chemical company plans to install several ch

emically resistant pulsation dampeners. The cost of the dampeners today is €125,000, but the chemical company has to wait until a permit is approved for its bidirectional port-to-plant product pipeline. The permit approval process will take at least 2 years because of the time required for preparation of an environmental impact statement. Because of intense foreign competition, the manufacturer plans to increase the price only by the inflation rate of 4% each year. Determine the cost of the dampeners in 5 years in terms of (a) then-current euros and (b) constant-value euros?

Answer:

a)  €152081.6128

b)  €125000

Explanation:

a) The cost of dampners in terms of then-current euros :

current cost x(1 + inflation rate)ⁿ where n is the number of years.

Since the price of dampners is expected to increase only by 4% per year from the current price of €125,000 in 5 years:

We calculate : 125000 (1+0.04)⁵ = €152081.6128

The cost of dampeners in terms of then-current euros is €152081.6128

b) The cost of dampners in terms of constant value will remain as at today's current price if the value of Euros remains constant . Therefore, The cost of dampeners in terms of constant-value euros is €125,000.

Net income is shown on the end-of-period spreadsheet in the Income Statement debit column and the Balance Sheet credit column.
enyata [817]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is True because net income is shown in the Balance sheet as a credit account as it increases the revenues and as a  debit column in the Income Statement  of the end-of-period spreadsheet.

This entry is reversed for the net loss. It would be shown as a debit column in the Balance Sheet ( indicating an expense/ a loss) and as a credit column in the income statement.

The net income is shown as a debit column in the Income Statement  of the end-of-period spreadsheet indicating that the credits ( revenues) are more than the debits ( expenses) and we get the balance of the income after deducting the expenses from the revenues. It is entered above the debit totals.

Solvent Prepreg

NPV = $6,130

IRR = 16.80%

MIRR = 15.51%

payback = 3.21 years

discounted payback = 4.58 years

b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

  • both projects, since their NPV is positive
