Answer:

The correct answer is D. Assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

The discount rate is the cost of capital that is applied to determine the current value of a future payment.

The discount rate is used to "discount" future money. It is widely used when evaluating investment projects. It tells us how much money is worth now from a future date.

The discount rate is the inverse of the interest rate, which serves to increase the value (or add interest) in the present money. The discount rate, on the other hand, detracts from the future money when it is transferred to the present, except if the discount rate is negative, in case it will mean that the future money is worth more than the current one. The interest rate is used to obtain the increase to an original amount, while the discount rate is subtracted from an expected amount to obtain an amount in the present.

Except in exceptional cases, the discount rate is positive because before the promise of receiving money in the future we have the uncertainty of whether we will receive it or not, since there may be a problem that prevents us from receiving that money. Therefore, the farther the money we are going to receive, the less it will be worth now.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: $1900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales revenue$ 4,000

Purchases of direct materials$ 400

Direct labor$ 450

Manufacturing overhead $ 620

Operating expenses$ 650

Beginning raw materials inventory$ 200

Ending raw materials inventory$ 180

Beginning work in process inventory$ 320

Ending work in process inventory$ 410

Beginning finished goods inventory$ 250

Ending finished goods inventory$ 200

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in process

Direct materials= beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 200 + 400 - 180= 420

cost of goods manufactured= 320 + 420 + 450 + 620 - 410= $1400

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

COGS= 250 + 1400 - 200= 1450

Operating income= sales  - COGS - operating expenses

Operating income= 4000 - 1450 - 650= $1900

Philippe Organic Farms has total assets of $689,400, long-term debt of $198,375, total equity of $364.182, net fixed assets of $
Margarita [4]

Answer:

correct option is  B. 1.40

Explanation:

given data

total assets = $689,400

long-term debt = $198,375

total equity = $364.182

net fixed assets = $512,100

sales = $1,021,500

profit margin = 6.2 percent

solution

we get here first current assets that is express as

current assets = Total assets - net fixed assets   ...................1

put here value

current assets = $689,400 - $512,100

current assets = $177300

and now we get Current liabilities that is express as

Total liabilities  = Total assets - Total equity .............2

Current liabilities + Long term debt = Total assets - Total equity    

Current liabilities = Total assets - Total equity - Long term debt ...........3

put here value

Current liabilities = $689400 - $364182 - $198,375

Current liabilities = $126843  

so here Current ratio will be

Current ratio = current assets ÷ Current liabilities  .............4

Current ratio = \frac{177300}{126843}  

Current ratio = 1.40

so correct option is  B. 1.40
