CSM Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $375,00

0 is estimated to result in $142,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $45,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,000, along with an additional $2,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop’s tax rate is 34 percent and its discount rate is 11 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?

Answer:

the company should buy and install the press because the NPV of the project is positive ($73,133.75)

Explanation:

the MACRS 5 year depreciation:

  1. $375,000 x 20% = $75,000
  2. $375,000 x 32% = $120,000
  3. $375,000 x 19.2% = $72,000
  4. $375,000 x 11.52% = $43,200
  5. $19,800, since salvage value at year 5 is $45,000
  6. $0 x 5.76% = $0

salvage value $45,000

total initial investment = $375,000, discount rate = 11%

  1. cash flow year 1 = {($142,000 - $15,000 - $75,000) x (1 - 34%)} + $75,000 = $109,320
  2. cash flow year 2 = {($142,000 - $2,000 - $120,000) x (1 - 34%)} + $120,000 = $133,200
  3. cash flow year 3 = {($142,000 - $2,000 - $72,000) x (1 - 34%)} + $72,000 = $116,880
  4. cash flow year 4 = {($142,000 - $2,000 - $43,200) x (1 - 34%)} + $43,200 = $107,088
  5. cash flow year 5 = {($142,000 - $2,000 - $19,800) x (1 - 34%)} + $19,800 + $45,000 = $144,132

the NPV of the project = -$375,000 + $109,320/1.11 + $133,200/1.11² + $116,880/1.11³ + $107,088/1.11⁴ + $144,132/1.11⁵ = $73,133.75

Use the following information to calculate cash received from dividends: Dividends revenue $ 32,300 Dividends receivable, Januar
drek231 [11]

Answer:

$31,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the cash received from Dividend

Beginning dividends receivable + Dividend revenue - dividends paid = Ending dividends receivable

Hence,

Using this formula

Dividends paid = Beginging dividends receivable + dividend revenue - Ending dividends receivable

Let plug in the formula

= 3,100+32,300-4,400

=31,000

Therefore the amount of cash received from dividend will be $31,000.

Thus the dividend revenue is not the dividends which was received in cash, but instead it is the dividends which was earned during the period.

Bike St. Pete currently produces 1,000 tires per month. The following per unit data apply for sales to regular customers: Direct
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$78,000

Explanation:

Total cost of producing 2,000 tires:

= [(Direct materials + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead) × 2,000 units] + Fixed cost

= [($20 + $3 + $6) × 2,000 units] + ($10 × 2,000 units)

= $58,000 + $20,000

= $78,000

Therefore, the total cost of producing 2,000 tires is $78,000.

XYZ stock price and dividend history are as follows: YearBeginning-of-Year PriceDividend Paid at Year-End2015 $130 $5 2016 144 5
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Arithmetic mean = 3.67%

Geometric mean = 3.02%

Explanation:

The following sorted data are given in the question:

Year           Beginning-of-Year Price         Dividend Paid at Year-End

2015                            $130                                            $5

2016                              144                                               5

2017                              120                                               5

2018                              125                                               5

Therefore, we have:

Arithmetic average return = Sum of returns/ number of years ………....….. (1)

Geometric average return = n * ((1+r1)*(1+r2)*(1+r3)…(1+rn)^(1/n) - 1 .……….. (2)

Where;

n = years 1, 2, 3….

r1, r2, r3… are the returns for year 1, 2, 3….

Return for each year = ((Current year Beginning-of-Year Price – Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price) + dividend) / Previous year Beginning-of-Year Price .................... (3)

Using equation (3), we have:

2016 Return = ((144 - 130) + 5) /130 = 0.146153846153846

2017 Return = ((120 - 144) + 5) /159 = -0.119496855345912

2018 Return = ((125 - 120) + 5) /120 = 0.0833333333333333

Using equation (1), we have:

Arithmetic mean = (2016 Return + 2017 Return + 2018 Return) / 3 = (0.1461538461538460 - 0.1194968553459120 + 0.0833333333333333) / 3 = 0.0367, or 3.67%.

Using equation (2), we have:

Geometric mean = ((1 + 2016 Return) * (1 + 2017 Return) * (1 + 2018 Return))^(1/3) - 1 = ((1 + 0.146153846153846) * (1 - 0.119496855345912) * (1 + 0.0833333333333333))^(1/3) - 1 = 0.0302, or 3.02%

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Standard direct labour cost = $20.00   per hour

Explanation:

The direct labour costs represent expenditures incurred in respect of direct worker which can be traced to the product been produced. For example, the labour cost of machine operator saddled with production task.

The payroll cost is not a direct labour cost because payroll employed are not direct workers, also benefits are overheads related to direct workers

Standard direct labour cost = $20.00

Crisp Cookware's common stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.75 a share at the end of this year (D1 = $1.75); its beta is 0
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

P3 = $96.9425 rounded off to $96.94

Explanation:

To calculate the market price of the stock three years from today (P3), we will use the constant growth model of DDM. The constant growth model calculates the values of the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1)  /  (r - g)

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend expected for the next period
  • g is the constant growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return on the stock

To calculate the price of the stock today (P0), we use the dividend expected for the next period (D1). So, to calculate the price at the end of 3 years (P3) we will use D4.

We first need to calculate r using the CAPM equation. The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rpM is the market risk premium

r = 0.058 + 0.6 * 0.05  

r = 0.088 or 8.8%

Using the price formula for DDM above and the values for P0, D1 and r, we can calculate the g to be,

 

80 = 1.75 / (0.088 - g)

80 * (0.088 - g) = 1.75

7.04 - 80g = 1.75

7.04 - 1.75 = 80g

5.29/80 = g

g = 0.066125 or 6.6125%

We first need to calculate D4.

D4 = D1 * (1+g)^3

D4 = 1.75 * (1+0.066125)^3

D4 = 2.12061793907

Using the formula from DDM for P3, we can calculate P3 to be,

P3 =  2.12061793907 / (0.088 - 0.066125)

P3 = $96.9425 rounded off to $96.94
