Two investment opportunities are as follows:________. Alt A Alt B First Cost 200 100 Uniform annual benefit 32 27 End of useful

Talja [164]

Answer:

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Explanation:

Note: The data in the question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question as follows:

Alt A Alt B

First Cost 200 100

Uniform annual benefit 32 27

End of useful life salvage value 20 0

Useful life, in years 10 5

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculation of NPV of Alt A

First Cost = 200

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (2)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 32

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 32 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^10) / 0.10) = 32 * 6.14456710570468 = 196.63

PV of Salvage value = FV / (1 + r)^n ..................... (2)

Where;

FV = End of useful life salvage value = 20

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 10

Note: The normal formula for calculating the present value (PV) is being used here to calculate the PV of Salvage value

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of Salvage value = 20 / (1 + 0.10)^10 = 20 / 2.5937424601 = 7.71

Net present value (NPV) of Alt .A = PV of uniform annual benefit + PV of Salvage value - First cost = 196.63 + 7.71 - 200 = 4.34

b. Calculation of NPV of Alt B

First Cost = 100

PV of uniform annual benefit = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) ……………………. (3)

Where;

P = uniform annual benefit = 27

r = MACC = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of useful years = 5

Note: The formula for calculating the present value of ordinary annuity is also being used here to calculate the Present Value (PV) of uniform annual benefit.

Substitute the values into equation (3) to have:

PV of uniform annual benefit = 27 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10) = 27 * 3.79078676940845 = 102.35

NPV of Alt B = PV of uniform annual benefit - First cost = 102.35 – 100 = 2.35

c. Decision

Since the 4.34 NPV of Alt A is greater than the 2.35 NPV of Alt B, it therefore implies that Alt A should be selected.

Subjective performance evaluations are subject to several rater errors, which makes objective measures seem a better alternative

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

A Subjective performance evaluation is more feasible when evaluating jobs that cannot easily be evaluated by numbers, in finding problems such as ethical errors that objective evaluation cannot identify and in identifying the rate of achievement of work goals that cannot be recorded in an objective evaluation.

Explanation:

Though Objective evaluation has been the more favored form of evaluation for valid reasons, there are still situations where subjective performance evaluation does a better job in the workplace.

Some jobs for example, the job of an attorney, cannot easily be objectively evaluated. In this situation, it falls on the employer to evaluate the performance of the employee by using measurements like team play, professionalism and client service.

In objective analysis, some ethical approaches are overlooked and the achievement of the set goal is the major criterion for ratings. This affords employees the opportunity to use unethical means to achieve set targets and the objective performance evaluation skips it, leaving them safe and with high ratings. In subjective performance ratings however, the employer having the power to rate employers, could expose these unethical behaviors faster and actions, taken on them.

In the workplace, certain goals are set in overall goals, as a method to achieving the overall set target. In an objective performance rating, an employee could bypass these and still appear to have achieved the overall goal. An objective evaluation will miss this but a subjective evaluation could pick this out and make rating each employee based on these soft goals and overall goal achievable.

Use the information in the chart to calculate the real exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Indian rupee. Round to the

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: 52.51 rupees/dollar

Explanation:

The real exchange rate attempts to account inflation in the countries being compared by using prices in the exchange rate.

The formula for calculating it is;

Real exchange rate = Nominal exchange rate *(Price index of domestic country/Price index of foreign country)

Real exchange rate in 2014 = 57*(99.5/108)

= 52.51 rupees/dollar

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Work in process A/c - shaping department Dr $35,000

Work in process A/c - packaging department Dr $25,000

To Manufacturing overhead A/c $60,000

(Being apply overhead to the manufacturing departments is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For shaping department

= 3,500 machine hours × $10 per machine hour

= $35,000

For Packaging department

= 2,500 machine hours × $10 per machine hour

= $25,000
