Answer:

The project should be rejected as the payback period of 3.97 years exceeds the required 3 years. So, the correct option is E

Explanation:

The table showing the discounted cash flows of each year:

Computing discounted payback as:

Discounted Payback = Number of years + (Initial Cost - Discounted Cash flow of year 1 + Discounted Cash flow of year 2 + Discounted Cash flow of year 3 / Discounted Cash flow of year 4)

= 3 + ($120,000 - $0 - $28,925.62  - $41,322.31  / $51,226.01)

= 3 + ($49,752.07 / $51,226.01)

= 3 + 0.97

= 3.97

Working Note:

Discounted Cash Flow is computed as:

Discounted cash flow = Cash Flow / (1 + r) ^ n

where

r is rate of return that is 10%

n is number of year

So,

For 1st year:

= $0 / (1 + 0.1) ^1

= $0

For 2nd year:

= $35,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 2

= $35,000 / 1.21

= $28,925.61

For 3rd year:

= $55,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 3

= $55,000 / 1.331

= $41,322.31

For 4th year:

= $75,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 4

= $75,000 / 1.4641

= $51,226.01

Cyclical deficit is the downfall of the business cycle, this usually occurs when the economy is beneath potential income. The formula for this is, CD= tax rate x ( potential deficit - actual deficit). Therefore, the cyclical deficit is $200.  I hope this helps.

Elena L [17]

Answer: True

Explanation: Capital budgeting is a tool used for evaluating the profitability of long term investments by the company. In the process of capital budgeting, the incremental expected cash inflows are compared with the initial cash outflow of the project using time value of money analysis.

In time value of money analysis the expected cash inflows are discounted back to the present time by using a particular rate, and then that present value is deducted from outflow to ascertain the profit.

Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation. Joint processing costs up to the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Split-off point:

The split-off point is the point at which products from the joint process appear and are identified.  The costs which are incurred up to the split-off point are called joint costs and the costs that are incurred after the split-off point are called as

Separable costs. Some joint products which emerge from joint process can be sold at the split-off point or some products can be put to further processing.

Compute the profit or loss from the three products as shown below'

Description                                                              A               B               C

Selling price after further processing                    20              13              32

Selling price at the split off point                            16               8        25

Incremental revenue per pound or gallon             4               5         7

Total quarterly output in pounds or gallons     $15,000    $20,000    $4,000

Total incremental revenue                              $60,000   $100,000  $28,000

Total incremental processing costs              $63,000   $80,000  $36,000

Total incremental profit or (loss)                       ($3,000) $20,000  ($8,000)

Therefore the products A and C are need to be sold at the split off point and he product B should be processed further to earn good profits.
