Last year, Michelson Manufacturing reported $10,250 of sales, $3,500 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,250 of d

epreciation. The company had no amortization charges, it had $3,500 of bonds outstanding that carry a 6.5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 40%. This year's data are expected to remain unchanged except for one item, depreciation, which is expected to increase by $725. By how much will the depreciation change cause the firm's net after-tax income and its net cash flow to change? Note that the company uses the same depreciation calculations for tax and stockholder reporting purposes.a. -$383.84; $206.68b. -$425.30; $229.01c. -$435.00; $290.00d. -$471.25; $253.75e. -$404.04; $217.56

A University of Iowa basketball standout is offered a choice of contracts by the New York Liberty.
Ratling [72]

Answer: <em>The lowest interest rate at which the present value of the second contract exceeds that of the first is </em><em>a. 7 percent</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Calculating present values is a useful way to compare cases where money is to be received in the future. The higher the present value (when comparing cases where you get money), the better</em>. To calculate it, we make use of the next formula:

PV=\frac{C}{(1+r)^{n}}

Where PV: Present value,

C: Cash flow at a given period,

r: Interest rate, and

n: Number of periods that will have passed (in this case, we are talking about years).

Now, since we are getting money twice in each case (the first payment one year from today, and the final payment two years from today), we can restructure our present value formula to include these two payments. We will get something like this:

PV=\frac{C_1}{1+r}+\frac{C_2}{(1+r)^{2}}

<em>Notice how each fraction represents one of the payments received, with one having an 'n' of 1 year, and the other one having an 'n' of 2 years. C₁ and C₂ represent the first and the second payment, respectively.</em>

<em />

Now that we have our completed formula, let's review each contract's present value (PV) with the lowest interest rate (7%), just to see how it turns out. <em>Remember that 7% equals 0.07 in any formula</em>:

<em>Contract A) This one gives her $100,000 one year from today and $100,000 two years from today</em><em>.</em>

PV_{A,0.07}=\frac{100000}{1+0.07}+\frac{100000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{A,0.07}=93457.944+87343.873\\PV_{A,0.07}=180801.817dollars

So Contract A's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to <em>$180801.817</em>.

<em>Contract B) The second one gives her $132,000 one year from today and $66,000 two years from today</em><em>.</em>

PV_{B,0.07}=\frac{132000}{1+0.07}+\frac{66000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{B,0.07}=123364.486+57646.956\\PV_{B,0.07}=181011.442dollars

So Contract B's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to <em>$181011.442, </em><em><u>which exceeds that of Contract A</u></em><em>.</em>

<em>Since among our options of interest rates, 7 percent is the lowest one, and, with this taken into account, the present value of the second contract (Contract B) exceeded that of the first (Contract A), </em><em>the answer is a. 7 percent</em><em>.</em>

If you can manage a key component of Emotional Intelligence: Active Listening, you’ll start to learn more because people will trust you, you’ll get better with people and meet more, and you’ll start to see success in work and in life.

Charisma, grativas, animus
Trustworthyness, authenticity, compassion
Empathy, intelligence and understanding
And you’ll get all those things you asked about because you’ll start to realise it isn’t about you: it’s about everyone else.

Harlan Bikes wants to close an unprofitable division with an expensive mortgage, high advertising costs, and high raw material c
Rudiy27

Answer:

Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.

Explanation:

A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers  in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.

A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and  which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.

If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated  to be gained from closing the division.
