Assume Ford Motors expects a new hybrid-engine project to produce incremental cash flows of $50 million each year, and expects t

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A) $560 million

Explanation:

First lets calculate the NPV of the cash stream by this investment,

PV Cash stream = Cash flow/ (r-g), where r = avg cost of capital and g = growth of the cash stream.

PV = 50 / (0.09 - 0.04) = $1000 million

We assume that external finance issuance costs are payable as a part of initial outlay of the project and so,

Total initial outlay = 420 + 20 = $440 million

NPV of the project then,

NPV = 1000 - 440 = $560 million

Hope that helps.

Land improvements records any moderation to land asset that is expected to add to its value and lasts for more than a year.

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year. 1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage. 2. Ma

marishachu [46]

Answer:

1-a. Total Contribution margin is $210,000 and Net operating income is $28,000.

1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = 7.50

2-a. The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Expected amount of Net Operating Income is $70,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 15,000 games last year at a selling price of $20 per game. Fixed costs associated with the game total $182,000 per year, and variable costs are $6 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable costs consist mostly of payments to this contractor.

Required:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

2. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption:

a. What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

b. What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

1-a. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

The contribution format income statement for the game last year can be prepared as follows:

Magic Realm, Inc.

Contribution Income Statement

For Last Year

Details Total ($) Per Unit ($)

Sales 300,000 20

Variable cost (90,000) (6)

Contribution margin 210,000 14

Fixed expense (182,000)

Net operating income  28,000 

1-b. Compute the degree of operating leverage.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = $210,000 / $28,000 = 7.50

2-a. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

Since:

Degree of Operating Leverage = Percentage change in Operating Income / Percentage change in Sales

Substituting the relevant values, we have:

7.50 = Percentage change in Operating Income / 20%

Percentage change in Operating Income = 7.5 * 20% = 150%

Therefore, the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year is 150%.

2-b. Management is confident that the company can sell 18,000 games next year (an increase of 3,000 games, or 20%, over last year). Given this assumption: What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of operating leverage to compute your answer.)

This can be calculated as follows:

Change in Net Operating Income = 150% * $28,000 = $42,000

Expected amount of Net Operating Income = Current Net Operating Income + Change in Net Operating Income = $28,000 + $42,000 = $70,000
