Question:

EB7.

LO 6.3Rocks Industries has two products. They manufactured 12,539 units of product A and 8,254 units of product B. The data are:

Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Product A Product B

1 $32,400 1,500 3,000

2 $54,900 1,700 1,300

3 $51,385 1,390 1,000

What is the activity rate for each cost pool?

Answer:

Following two steps helps in finding the Activity Rate for each cost pool.

Step 1: Identify cost pools and their relevant cost drivers.

Cost Driver Estimated Overhead Product A Product B Total

1 $32,400 1,500 3,000 4,500

2 $54,900 1,700 1,300 3,000

3 $51,385 1,390 1,000 2,390

Step 2: Calculate Overhead rate for each activity

Overhead Rate= Cost pool / total units of relevant cost driver consumed

Now just put the values in the formula and compute overhead rate for each activity.

Overhead Rate for Cost Driver 1=$32,400 / 4,500 = $12.5 per cost driver 1

Overhead Rate for Cost Driver 2=$54,900 / 3,000 = $15.5 per cost driver 2

Overhead Rate for Cost Driver 3=$51,385 / 2,390 = $3.5 per cost driver 3

Scotch Inc. arranged a $7,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. The firm paid an annual commitment fee of 0.

baherus [9]

Answer:

$575,000

Explanation:

Data provided:

The total amount for the credit agreement = $7,000,000

The amount borrowed by the firm = $6,000,000

The annual commitment fee for the unused balance = 0.5%

Prime rate of interest = 8%

Interest paid above the prime rate = 1.5%

Now,

the unused amount = $7,000,000 - $6,000,000 = $1,000,000

The amount of commitment fees paid

= total unused amount × Annual commitment fees

= $1,000,000 × 0.005

= $5000

Total interest paid on the borrowed amount

= Amount borrowed × (prime rate + additional rate)

= $6,000,000 × ( 0.08 + 0.015)

= $6,000,000 × 0.095

= $570,000

Hence,

the total dollar annual cost of the revolver

= interest paid on the borrowed amount + amount of commitment fees paid

= $570,000 + $5000

= $575,000

A T-bill that is 290 days from maturity is selling for $96,040. The T-bill has a face value of $100,000.

umka2103 [35]

Answer: a 0.049, 0.05 and 0.05 or 5%

b 0.039, 0.041 and 0.041 or 4%

Explanation:

Ai discounted yield = [(Face value - purchase price)/Face value] * 360/ maturity

Discount yield =:[(100000 - 96040)/100000] * 360/290

= 0.0396* 1.24

= 0.049

ii. Bond equivalent yield (BEY) = [(Face value - purchase price)/purchase value] * 365/M

BEY= [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/290

BEY = 0.05

iii EAR = [(1+BEY/n)exp n - 1)

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/(365/290)) exp (360/290) - 1]

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/1.26) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = (1.04) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = 0.05 or 5%

The same formula are applied for the B part

Discount yield = [(100000-96040)/100000] * 360/365

Discount yield = 0.0396 * 0.986

= 0.039

B ii. BEY = [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/365

BEY = 0.041 × 1

BEY = 0.041

B iii. EAR = [(1 + 0.041/(365/365))exp (365/365) - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.41) - 1

EAR = 0.041 or 4%

Firms in the patented pharmaceutical industry earned an average return on net worth of 22 percent in 2006, compared with an aver

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The following theories of profit best explain the profits of pharma companies:

1. Risk bearing - The theory says the higher the risk, the higher the rewards. The pharma companies take huge risks in inventing a new drug, having trials and the getting FDA approvals.

2. Monopoly - If a new drug is approved, the pharma company gets a patent over it, which means that it will have an effective monopoly on that segment of the market.

3. Innovation - it states that innovation is what keeps a company ahead. And pharma industry is built on innovation. Pharma companies have to continuously find new drugs because once patents run out on existing drugs, there are no profits to be made.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Project A

Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values

0 250,000 1 -250,000

1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40

Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40

IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%

Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144

Project B

Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values

0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)

1 72,500 0.91 65,975

2 65,500 0.83 54,365

3 73,800 0.75 55,350

4 71,500 0.68 48,620

5 69,800 0.62 43,276

6 75,500 0.56 42,280

7 31,000 0.51 15,810

8 47,500 0.47 22,325

9 55,500 0.42 23,310

10 29,200 0.38 11,096

Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407

IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%

On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.

b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
