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

zvonat [6]

Answer:

  1. total product costs incurred to make 27,500 units = $25.10 x 27,500 = $690,250
  2. total period costs incurred to make 27,500 units = $15.10 x 27,500 = $415,250
  3. total product costs incurred to make 31,000 units = $25.10 x 31,000 = $778,100
  4. total period costs incurred to make 24,000 units = $15.10 x 24,000 = $362,400

Explanation:

                                                       Average Cost per Unit

  • Direct materials                                   $8.90
  • Direct labor                                           $5.90
  • Variable manufacturing overhead   $3.40
  • Fixed manufacturing overhead           $6.90
  • Fixed selling expense                           $5.40
  • Fixed administrative expense           $4.40
  • Sales commissions                           $2.90
  • Variable administrative expense           $2.40

Product costs include direct labor, direct materials, production supplies, and factory overhead. Product costs per unit = $8.90 + $5.90 + $3.40 + $6.90 = $25.10

Period costs include selling and administrative expenses. Period costs per unit = $5.40 + $4.40 + $2.90 + $2.40 = $15.10
