Answer:

The answer is Project X is the most attractive to an investor.

Explanation:

We can use the definition of Net Present Value (NPV) to solve this problem and figure out which would be the best investment.

Net present value is the present value of future money. In other words, over certain period of time, how much is your investment worth today. It takes into consideration cash inflow and outflow over that period of time as well as interest that could be earned on alternative investments if you had the money today. See attachment to see the NPV formula.

In the attachment, we calculate the NPV for each one of the projects using a rate of return i=3% for all of them. Any rate of return could be used as long as they are the same for all projects.

A positive NPV value means a good investment and the higher that number is the better the investment. In this case, we can see that Project X has the higher NPV of all the projects. Therefore, project X is the most attractive for an investor.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:

<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>

Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>

Putting all the number together, we have:

Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%

<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>

Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,300 sailboats per year, operating at normal capaci
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The president of Riggs has missed something.

She should make the Sail instead of buying because its cheaper to manufacture than purchasing it outside.

Explanation:

<u>Cost of Manufacturing the Sails:</u>

Direct materials        $93

Direct Labor              $83

Total                         $173

The president of Riggs has included the $90 overhead  based on $78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity in the cost of manufacturing the sail which is incorrect.

Riggs Company is operating at 80 % of full capacity, hence utelizing the 20% excess capacity would not expand its fixed costs.

Thus said the current fixed cost are irrelevent for this decison and would be incurred whether or not Riggs Company utilizes the excess capacity

<u>Conclusion:</u>

The cost of making the sail is $173 which is lower than the cost of buying them at $ 258.

I would advise The president of Riggs to make the sail by utilizing the excess capacity since its cheaper than purchasing it outside.
