Mars Corp. is choosing between two different capital investment proposals. Machine A has a useful life of four years, and machin

e B has a useful life of six years. Each proposal requires an initial investment of $200,000, and the company desires a rate of return of 10 percent. Although machine B has a useful life of six years, it could be sold at the end of four years for $35,000.
Year Present Value of $1 at 10 Percent
1 0.909
2 0.826
3 0.751
4 0.683
5 0.621
6 0.513

Machine A will generate net cash flow of $70,000 in each of the four years. Machine B will generate $80,000 in year 1, $70,000 in year 2, $60,000 in year 3, and $40,000 per year for the remaining three years of its useful life. Which of the following statements portrays the most accurate analysis between the two proposals?

a. Mars should invest in Machine A becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is higher than the net present value of Machine B after 4 years.
b. Mars should invest in Machine B becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is lower than the net present value of Machine B after 6 years.
c. Mars should invest in Machine B becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is lower than the net present value of Machine B after 4 years.
d. Mars should invest in Machine A becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is higher than the net present value of Machine B after 6 years.

Answer:

c. Mars should invest in Machine B becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is lower than the net present value of Machine B after 4 years.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Considering that machine b can be sold on 4 years, The NPV of machine b should be calculated based on the cash flow in for 4 years

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator.

Machine A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $70,000

I = 10%

NPV = 21,890.58

Machine B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 = $80,000

Cash flow each year from year 2 = $70,000

Cash flow each year from year 3 = $60,000

Cash flow each year from year 4 = $40000 + $35,000 = $75,000

I = 10%

NPV = $26,883.41

Machine b should be accepted because its NPV is greater than that of machine A

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

b. Accrual basis - Service revenue is $2,100 (which is $1200 + $900)

Explanation:

In accounting, there are 2 basis for recognizing transactions; these are cash basis and accrual basis.

In cash basis, sales and expenses are not recorded unless cash has been collected and paid respectively. In the accrual basis of accounting, expenses and sales are recorded when incurred and earned respectively.

Revenue earned under the accrual basis would therefore include the revenue for which cash has been collected and those for which cash is yet to be collected.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>Cost per Unit  Fatboy= $  27800 </em>

<em>Screamer Cost per unit =  $3779.80   </em>

Explanation:

Howrley-David, Inc.

                               

                                        Fatboy             Screamer           Total

Units Assembled               990                 1,980                  2,970

Materials cost per unit      $ 2,600        $ 3,600

Material Costs                   2574000         7128000  

Other costs:

Direct labor                          $1069200       2138400      $ 3,207,600

Indirect materials                                                                 534, 600

Other overhead                                                                  <u>  1,603,800</u>

FoH                                     712800           1425600           2138400

Total Costs                          2752,2000    7484000

<u>No of units                             990                1980</u>

<u>Cost per Unit                       27800              3779.80   </u>

The total costs have been added and then divided with the number of units to get the cost per unit.

Direct Labor Costs  =Total Direct Labor Costs/ Total number of units* required number of units

DLC for Fatboy= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *990= $1069200

DLC for Screamer= $ 3,207,600 /2970 *1980= 2138400

FActory Overheads = Total Factory Costs/ Total Units ( Required Units)

FOH for Fatboy=  534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 990= 712800

FOH for Screamer = 534, 600 +1,603,800/2970 * 1980=  1425600

What is the yield to maturity of a one-year zero-coupon bond with a $10,000 face value and a price of $9400
svp [43]

Answer:

6.383%

Explanation:

Calculation for the What is the yield to maturity

Using this formula

YTM=n√Face value/Bond price -1

Where,

n=one-year

Face value=10,000

Bond price=9,400

Let plug in the formula

YTM=1√10,000/9,400−1

YTM=1.06383-1

YTM=0.06383*100

YTM=6.383%

Therefore the yield to maturity will be 6.383%

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

$6,689

Explanation:

As we know that the inventory should be recorded at cost or net realizable value which ever is lower

Particulars      Item Units      Unit Cost         Net Realizable Value    LCNRV

Minolta              7                    $175                $157                              $157

Canon               11                    142                   176                               $142

Vivitar               14                    130                   111                                $111

Kodak               17                     120                  132                              $120

So, the amount of ending inventory is

= 7 units  × $157 + 11 units × $142 + 14 units × $111 + 17 units × $120

= $1,099 + $1,562 + $1,988 + $2,040

= $6,689
