Is it a good​ idea?​ Hint: View this question in terms of incremental profits.

Answer:

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will sell more vehicles and lose on each additional vehicle sold.

Explanation:

The cost-benefit analysis is a systematic approach that involves finding the marginal costs and marginal benefits associated with a particular decision, and then compare the benefits against the costs to determine whether the decision should be pursued.

To determine the costs and benefits in terms of incremental profits;

Benefit = Profit of $5,090 per vehicle × 13,500 (53200 - 39700) additional vehicles sold = $68,715,000  

The cost of the rebate is that Honda will make less on the vehicles it would have sold:

Cost = Loss of $1,800 per vehicle × 39,700 vehicles that would have sold without rebate = $71,460,000.

There, Benefit - Cost = $ (68,715,000 - 71,460,000) = - $2,745,000 and offering the rebate does not look attractive.

The rebate being offered is not a good idea as the cost outweighs the benefit.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Carrying Value=$3,903,000

Explanation:

First we will calculate the face value:

Face value=4000*$1000

Face value=$4,000,000

Purchase Price= Bond Purchased price- Accrued Interest

Purchase Price=$3,960,000-$60,000

Purchase Price=$3,900,000

Total months=100 months

Straight line Discount amortization= (Face Value-Purchase Price)/Total Months

Straight line Discount amortization=($4,000,000-$3,900,000)/100

Straight line Discount amortization=$1,000

Discount Amortization=Straight line Discount amortization*Discount months

Discount Amortization=$1,000*3

Discount Amortization=$3,000.

Carrying Value=Purchase Price+Discount Amortization

Carrying Value=$3,900,000+$3,000

Carrying Value=$3,903,000

hram777 [196]

Answer:

15,300

72.70%

Explanation:

After tax cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($20,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $3,000

($28,500 - $5,000 - $3000) x (1 - 0.4) + $3000 = $15,300

Terminal year cash flow = after tax cash flow + salvage value

$15,300 + $5,000 = $20,300

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000.

Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $15,300

Cash flow in year 5 = $20,300

IRR = 72.70%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
