The company has established an investment opportunity hurdle rate of 15 percent and uses the straight-line method for depreciation. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Answer:

IRR = 8%

Don't accept the project

Explanation:

The 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 using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = -9,187,846.67

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = 1287000

IRR = 8%

Because the IRR is less than the hurdle rate, the project shouldn't be accepted.

To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer:

a) IRR

IRR = 9%

b)

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

Explanation:

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa

PV of annual savings = 1,287,000 × (1- 1.15^(-11))/0.15=  6,735,787.15  

NPV = 6,735,787.15   - 9,187,846.67.= 2,452,059.52  

NPVb

PV of annual savings  =  (1,287,000 × (1- 1.03^(-11))/0.03=11908127.23

NPV b = 11908127.23 -9187846.67 =2720280.564

IRR = 3% + ( 2720280.564 /(2720280.564 +2,452,059.52) )× (15-3)%

IRR = 9%

Since the IRR is less than the hurdle rate , the project should be rejected. An IRR with higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would decrase the wealth of ths shareholders

a.)A business owner makes 1000 items a day. Each day she spends 8 hours producing those items. If hired, elsewhere she could hav
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a) Her economic profit is $240,000 per month

b) Per week, the firm:

  TVC: $5,000

  TFC: $14,250

  TC: $19,250

c) Her accounting profit is $300,000

Explanation:

a)

Assume a 30-day per month basis for calculation.

Her revenue for a month = Number of items made per day * 30 * Selling price per unit = 1,000 * 30 * 15 = $450,000

Her explicit cost per month is given at $150,000

Her implicit cost ( opportunity cost) per month = Her salary could be earned if she works elsewhere = Pay rate per hour * Number of hour working per day * 30 = 250 * 8 * 30 = $60,000

=> Her economic profit per month = Her revenue for a month - Her explicit cost per month - Her implicit cost ( opportunity cost) per month = $450,000 - $150,000 - $60,000 = $240,000.

b)

Per week, the firm TVC, TFC and TC is calculated as below:

Weekly TVC = Raw material cost = Raw material cost per unit * Unit produced per one week = 10 * 500 = $5,000;

Weekly TFC = Weekly factory rent + Weekly employee costs = 2,250 + Number of employees hired * Cost of hourly wage * Number of working hours per week = 2,250 + 20 * 15 * 40 = $14,250;

Weekly TC =  Weekly TVC + Weekly TFC = 5,000 + 14,250 = $19,250.

c)

Assume a 30-day per month basis for calculation.

Her revenue for a month = Number of items made per day * 30 * Selling price per unit = 1,000 * 30 * 15 = $450,000

Her explicit cost per month is given at $150,000

=> Her accounting profit per month = Her revenue for a month - Her explicit cost per month= $450,000 - $150,000 = $300,000.
