Answer:

$10 million

Explanation:

Calculation for the reported profit for the first year of the contract

Using this formula

Reported profit=(BB Costs/Project cost estimate)×(Building contract-Project cost estimate)

Let plug in the formula

Reported profit = ($30 million / $75 million)×($100 million – $75 million)

Reported profit=0.4 million ×25 million

Reported profit= $10 million

Therefore the reported profit for the first year of the contract will be $10 million

<u>Materials Purchase Budget</u>

Production Materials Required  (5×26,000 units)     130,000

Add Budgeted Closing Materials (50,000×20%×5)   50,000

Total Materials                                                             180,000

Less Budgeted Opening Inventory (4,000×5)          (20,000)

Budgeted Materials                                                     160,000

Material Cost per pound                                                $0.60

Total Material Cost                                                      $96,000

Therefore, the materials purchases budget will be for the month ending April 30 will be  $96,000.

Which of these is not something to consider when trying to get a positive return on investment (roi) for higher education?
Fantom [35]

Something not to consider when trying to get a positive return on investment (ROI) for higher education is: c. the type of food that is offered on the meal plan.

<h3>What is rate of return?</h3>

Rate of return can be defined as a net gain (profit) or loss that is associated with an investment over a specified period of time, and it's usually expressed as a percentage of the investment's initial cost.

This ultimately implies that, the rate of return must be higher than the rate of inflation in order for any business firm or individual to earn money on their investments.

Also, a positive return on investment (ROI) entails a net gain (profit) from an investment over a specified period of time. This ultimately implies that, the type of food that is offered on the meal plan isn't something to consider when trying to get a positive return on investment (ROI) for higher education.

Malone Imports stock should return 12 percent in a boom, 10 percent in a normal economy, and 2 percent in a recession. The proba
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

6.11%

Explanation:

For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:

= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy)  + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)

= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%)  + (2% × 10%)  

= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%

= 9.30%

Now the variance would equal to the

= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2

For boom:

= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.3645

For normal economy:

= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2

= 0.4165

For recession:

= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2

= 5.329

So, the total variance would be

= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329

= 6.11%

Bruin, Inc., has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 37,500 –$ 37,50
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B
