Answer:

Question 1:

required investment $245,000

depreciation expense per year = ($245,00 - $23,200) / 5 = $44,360

you will also require $15,000 in working capital

annual cash costs = $68,500

what is the minimum amount of cash sales for accepting the project:

net cash flow₁ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14 = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72

net cash flow₂ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14² = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14² = 0.5002SR - $22,313.79

net cash flow₃ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14³ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14³ = 0.4387SR - $19,573.50

net cash flow₄ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14⁴ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14⁴ = 0.3849SR - $17,169.74

net cash flow₅ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360 + $15,000} / 1.14⁵ = (0.65SR - $13,999) / 1.14⁵ = 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

NPV = -initial outlay + cash flows

NPV = 0

initial outlay = cash flows

$260,000 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72 + 0.5002SR - $22,313.79 + 0.4387SR - $19,573.50 + 0.3849SR - $17,169.74 + 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

$260,000 = 2.2316SR - $91,765.39

$351,765.39 = 2.2316SR

sales revenue = $351,765.39 / 2.2316 = $157,629.23

the closest answer is B = $155,119, but its NPV will be negative.

<u>so we have to select C = $162,515.75 that results in an NPV = $10,887. </u>

Question 2:

<u>The correct answer is D. return on equity will increase.</u>

If you lower your costs while your sales remain the same, your profits will increase as well as your ROE.

Accents Associates sells only one product, with a current selling price of $70 per unit. Variable costs are 40% of this selling
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

Break-even sales is the point of sales at which the business incur no profit no loss. At this level of sale the business covers all of the variable and fixed cost associated with the product. Break-even is expressed in sales volume and sales value terms.

Current Selling Price = $70

As we know

Sales price = Variable cost + Contribution margin

Sales price = Variable cost ratio + Contribution margin ratio

100% = 40% + Contribution

Contribution = 100% - 40% = 60%

Fixed Cost = $12,000 Per month

Break-even sales  = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio

Break-even sales  = $12,000 / 60% = $20,000

Sin Qua Corporation is a company listed on the stock exchange and issues corporate bonds. Which statement is most likely true?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds.

Explanation:

Interest earned from corporate bonds and capital gained through corporate bond transactions is taxable income.  The interest earned from a corporate bond is subject to taxation by both the federal and state governments.

The government will not sell sin Qua corporation bonds as it is a public company.  Bonds do not pay interest quarterly but rather semi-annually or annually.  Again, the maturity of the bond is determined at the time they are issued. Creditworthiness will only affect the bond price but not its maturity period.

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds is thus the correct statement.
