The Utah Mining Corporation is set to open a gold mine near Provo, Utah. According to the treasurer, Monty Goldstein, "This is a

golden opportunity." The mine will cost $3,200,000 to open and will have an economic life of 11 years. It will generate a cash inflow of $425,000 at the end of the first year, and the cash inflows are projected to grow at 8 percent per year for the next 10 years. After 11 years, the mine will be abandoned. Abandonment costs will be $480,000 at the end of Year 11.
What is the IRR for the gold mine? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Answer:

IRR = 13.05%

Explanation:

using an excel spreadsheet, the cash flows are:

year 0 = -$3,200,000

year 1 = $425,000

year 2 = $425,000 x 1.08 = $459,000

year 3 = $459,000  x 1.08 = $495,720

year 4 = $535,378

year 5 = $578,208

year 6 = $624,464

year 7 = $674,422

year 8 = $728,375

year 9 = $786,645

year 10 = $849,577

year 11 = ($849,577  x 1.08) - $480,000 = $917,543 - $480,000 = $437,543  

IRR = 13.05%

The internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate at which a project's NPV (net present value) would equal $0.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Foster Inc.'s assets will decrease by a net amount of $30,000.

The Company's liabilities will increase by $30,000.

the amount of the loan = $30,000

this means that the company's liabilities will increase by $30,000

Also this partners can be local companies with knowledge ofthe Chinese market.

Axiom will have limited liability until his contribution.

It will generate new jobs in the country and include local business persons, this will be politically acceptable

This option has everything Axiom is looking for.

Explanation:

<em>A.- if Axiom uses a subsidiary</em> it will not have access to local knowledge. Also it will be the same entity, so it won't be sharing the cost.

It won't be what the company need

It won't be what the company need

<em>E.- Licensing: </em>will be selling the brand name or product to a third party. It will not be part of the revenue stream entirely. A third party with knowledge of the market will exploit the benefit.

<em>D. Greenfield investments: </em>The company will establishes operations on the country. It will have a high cost, but will get the goverment approval for the jobs created in China. However it will be Axiom who takes the cost and risk for the entire investment.

Please answer the following:
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 1,200.00

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 5,000.00

Explanation:

The difference between accumulated depreciation represents the depreciation charge that was made during the first quarter of the 2018 accounting year.

Then depreciation charges for the first quarter are calculated as follows:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 800 – 400 = 400

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 2,500 – 1,250 = 1,250

Since there are 4 quarters in an accounting year, the depreciation charge in 2018 is calculated as follows:

Depreciation expense Office equipment = 400 * 4 = 1,200

Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 1,250 * 4 = 5,000

Perine, Inc., has balance sheet equity of $5.4 million. At the same time, the income statement shows net income of $783,000. The
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The target stock price in one year is $149.93

Explanation:

Fly Away, Inc., has

Balance sheet equity of (E) = $ 5,400,000

Also, the income statement shows net income of (NI) = $783,000.

The company paid dividends of (D) = $438,480

Shares of stock outstanding (N) = 100,000

Benchmark PE ratio = 18

Question = what is the target stock price in one year?

We need the expected EPS at the end of next year and not this year.

EPS this year, E₀ = NI / N

                            = 783,000 / 100,000

                            = $ 7.83

Retention Ratio, "R" = 1 - Dividend payout ratio = 1 - D/NI

                                 = 1 - 438,480 / 783,000

                                 = 1 - 56.00%

                                 = 44.00%

Return on equity, ROE = NI / E

                                     = 783,000 / 5,400,000

                                     = 14.50%

Growth rate in earnings, g = R x ROE

                                         = 44.00% x 14.50%

                                         = 6.38%

Hence, expected EPS next year, E₁ = E₀ x (1 + g)

= $ 7.83 x (1 + 6.38%)

= $ 8.33

Hence, target price next year, P = Benchmark PE ratio x E₁

                                                     = 18 x $8.33

                                                     = $149.93

The target stock price in one year = $149.93
