Answer:
Projects A,B,C,D and E should be accepted
Explanation:
Based on the fact that each of the itemized projects has the same of level of risk as the company's existing assets, we suggest that the firm undertake those projects that gives a return rate which is above the current weighted average cost of capital of 10.5%
In essence,projects A,B,C,D and E should be accepted as they 12%,11.5%,11.2%,11% and 10.7% returns on investment respectively.
Projects F& G would be rejected on the premise that their rates of return are lower than what is currently obtainable in Midwest Water Works.
Answer:
C) Net present value
Explanation:
In this method, the initial investment is subtracted from the discounted present value cash inflows. If the amount comes in positive than the project is beneficial for the company otherwise not.
And, the internal rate of return is that return in which the Net present value come zero.
The average rate of return shows a ratio between the average net profit and the average investment.
In mathematically,
Net present value = Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment
Answer: 26.73%
Explanation:
You can calculate the expected return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).
Formula is:
Expected return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
Use the previous figures to solve for the risk free rate:
20.47% = Rf + 1.39 * (16.50% - Rf)
20.47% = Rf + 22.935% - 1.39R
20.47% - 22.935% = Rf - 1.39Rf
-2.465% = -0.39Rf
Rf = -2.465% / -0.39
= 6.32%
New expected return is:
= 6.32% + 1.39 * (21% - 6.32%)
= 26.73%
Answer:
$76,000
Explanation:
If we are going to prepare a flexible budget we need to calculate how much Seaworthy should have spent in labor costs in order to produce 2,000 units:
labor cost = 2 hours per unit x $19 per hour x 2,000 units = $76,000
If we compare the flexible budget to Seaworthy's actual costs, we will find an unfavorable variance of $250,000 (=$326,000 - $76,000). Obviously something went wrong with Seaworthy's production.
