Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five

-year period. His annual pay raises are determined by his division’s return on investment (ROI), which has exceeded 23% each of the last three years. He has computed the cost and revenue estimates for each product as follows:
Product A Product B
Initial investment:
Cost of equipment
(zero salvage value) $290,000 $490,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues $340,000 $440,000
Variable expenses $154,000 $206,000
Depreciation expense $58,000 $98,000
Fixed out-of-pocket
operating costs $79,000 $59,000
The company's discount rate is 16%.
Required:
1. Calculate the payback period for each product.
2. Calculate the net present value for each product.
3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.
4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.
5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.
6A. For each measure, identify whether Product A or Product B is preferred.
6B. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:

Answer:

1. Calculate the payback period for each product.

  • A = 2.71 years, A is preferred
  • B = 2.8 years

2. Calculate the net present value for each product.

  • A = $60,349
  • B = $83,001, B is preferred

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.

  • A = 25%, A is preferred
  • B = 23%

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.

  • A = 121%, A is preferred
  • B = 117%

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.

  • A = 184%, A is ´preferred
  • B = 179%

6B. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:

  • 1. Accept Product A, since its IRR is 25% which exceeds the company's  minimum ROI (23%)

Explanation:

                                       Product A               Product B

Initial investment:

Cost of equipment          $290,000              $490,000

Annual revenues and costs:

Sales revenues              $340,000               $440,000

Variable expenses         $154,000               $206,000

Depreciation expense    $58,000                 $98,000

Fixed out-of-pocket

operating costs               $79,000                 $59,000

net cash flow                  $107,000                $175,000

The company's discount rate is 16%.

payback period

A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred

B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR

NPV

A = $60,349

B = $83,001, B is preferred

IRR

A = 25%, A is preferred

B = 23%

Project profitability

A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21

B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17

Simple rate of return

A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred

B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

Resale price maintenance occurs when: a. the manufacturer suggested retail price. b. minimum prices are enforced. c. consignment
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

b. minimum prices are enforced

Explanation:

The manufacturer of certain products deals with their distributors by exploiting the market failures to negotiate ceiling and minimum prices with the threat of not purchase if the agreement is not validated.

This is done to prevent competition between reseller for the price. This makes the reseller profitable and therefore, the manufactured as well.

Exercise 7-4A Effect of recognizing uncollectible accounts expense on financial statements: Percent of revenue allowance method
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Rosie Dry Cleaning

a. Organization of the transaction data in accounts under an accounting equation:

Year 1:

The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

1) Provided $29,940 of cleaning services on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) increases by $29,940; Equity (Retained Earnings) increases by $29,940.  So, Assets + $29,940 = Liabilities + Equity + $29,940.

2) Collected $23,952 cash from accounts receivable.

Assets (Cash) increases by $23,952 and Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $23,952.  So, Assets + $23,952 and - $23,952 = Liabilities + Equity.

3) Adjusted the accounting records to reflect the estimate that uncollectible accounts expense would be 1 percent of the cleaning revenue on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) reduces by $59.88 and Equity (Retained Earnings) reduces by $59.88.  So, Assets - $59.88 = Liabilities + Equity - $59.88.

Year 2:

1. Wrote off a $225 account receivable that was determined to be uncollectible.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $225 and Equity (Retained Earnings) decreases by $225.  So, Assets - $225 = Liabilities + Equity - $225.

2. Provided $34,940 of cleaning services on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) increases by $34,940 and Equity (Retained Earnings) increases by $34,940.  So, Assets + $34,940 = Liabilities + Equity + $34,940.

3. Collected $30,922 cash from accounts receivable.

Assets (Cash) increases by $30,922 and Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $30,922.  So, Assets + $30,922 - $30,922 = Liabilities + Equity.

4. Adjusted the accounting records to reflect the estimate that uncollectible accounts expense would be 1 percent of the cleaning revenue on account.

Assets (Accounts Receivable) decreases by $37.93 ($97.81 - $59.88) and Equity (Retained Earnings) decreases by $37.93.  So, Assets - $37.93 = Liabilities + Equity - $37.93.

b. 1) Net Income for Year 1:

Sales = $29,940

less Allowance for uncollectible = $59.88)

Total = $29,880.12

2) Net Cash Flows from operating activities for Year 1 = $23,952.

3) Balance of Accounts Receivable at the end of Year 1:

Sales = $29,940

Less Cash Receipt = $23,952

Balance = $5,988

4) Net Realizable value of accounts receivable at the end of Year 1.

Accounts Balance = $5,988

less Allowance for Uncollectible = $59.88

Net Realizable = $5,928.12

c 1) Net Income for Year 1:

Sales = $34,940

less Bad Debts Expense = $262.93 ($37.93 + $225)

Total = $34,677.07

2) Net Cash Flows from operating activities for Year 1 = $30,922.

3) Balance of Accounts Receivable at the end of Year 1:

Beginning balance = $5,988

Sales = $34,940

Less Bad Debts Expense = $225

Less Cash Receipt = $30,922

Balance = $9,781

4) Net Realizable value of accounts receivable at the end of Year 1.

Accounts Balance = $9,781

less Allowance for Uncollectible = $97.81

Net Realizable = $9,683.19

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity.  Any change in one side of the equation affects the other.  Sometimes, a transaction or event affects one side only by increasing one account and decreasing another account on the same side of the equation.  Examples are demonstrated in the answer above.

When an uncollectible is deemed bad, it reduces the Accounts Receivable and increases the bad debt expense.  The overall effect on the accounting equation is a reduction in Assets and Equity respectively.

Trish receives $450 on the first of each month. Josh receives $450 on the last day of each month. Both Trish and Josh will recei
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The last option is the answer -$141.80

Explanation:

we will use the present value formula for Trish she gets paid every first day of the month therefore she will receive an immediate payment of cash flow which will be added to the present value of future periodic value. Therefore we will find the difference between present values for Trish and Josh which have the same amounts which they'll receive per month.

Given: Trish and josh both receive $450 per month therefore that will be C the monthly future payment that will be received.

They will receive these amounts in a course period of Four years so that will be n = 4 x12=48  because we know that they will receive these payments every month or on a monthly basis for four years. which n represent periodic payments.

i which is the discount rate of 9.5%/12 as we know they will recieve these amounts monthly.

Therefore using the following formulas for present value annuity:

Pv = C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i] and Pv= C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i](1+i) then get the difference between these two present values for Trish and Josh.

therefore we will substitute the above values on the above mentioned formula to get the difference:

Pv= 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)]  - 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)](1+9.5%/12)    then we compute and get

Pv= $17911.77614 - $18053.5777

Pv = -$141.80 is the difference between the two sets of present values as one has an immediate payment and one doesn't have it.
