Answer:

Year           Dry Prepreg          discounted cash flow

0                   -$30,000                -$30,000

1                        10,000                    8,772

2                       10,000                    7,695

3                       10,000                    6,750

4                       10,000                    5,921

5                       10,000                    5,194

Year           Solvent Prepreg.           discounted cash flow

0                         -$90,000                   -$90,000

1                            28,000                       24,561

2                           28,000                       21,545

3                           28,000                       18,899

5                           28,000                      14,542

a. Calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR, payback, and discounted payback for each project

Dry Prepreg

NPV = $4,330

IRR = 19.86%

MIRR = 17.12%

payback = 3 years

discounted payback = 4.17 years

Solvent Prepreg

NPV = $6,130

IRR = 16.80%

MIRR = 15.51%

payback = 3.21 years

discounted payback = 4.58 years

b. Assuming the projects are independent, which one(s) would you recommend?

  • both projects, since their NPV is positive

c. If the projects are mutually exclusive, which would you recommend?

Dry prepreg becuase its IRR, MIRR are higher, and its payback and discounted payback periods are shorter.

Suppose France can produce four phones or three computers with one unit of labor, and Sweden can produce one phone or two comput
lesya [120]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

France can produce four phones or three computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                      = 0.75 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                      = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce one phone or two computers:

Opportunity cost of producing one phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                      = 2 computers

Opportunity cost of producing one computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                      = 0.5 phones

Therefore,

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than Sweden. France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden.

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because of the lower opportunity cost of producing it than France. Sweden should specialize in producing computers and import phones from France.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$10.08

Explanation:

First, find dividend per year;

D3 = 0.50

D4 = 0.50(1.35) = 0.675

D5 = 0.675 (1.35 ) = 0.9113

D6 = 0.9113 (1.07) = 0.9751

Next, find the present value of each dividend at 13% rate;

PV (of D3) = 0.50/(1.13^3) = 0.3465

PV (of D4) = 0.675/(1.13^4) = 0.4140

PV (of D5) = 0.9113/(1.13^5) = 0.4946

PV (of D6) = \frac{\frac{0.9751}{0.13-0.07} }{1.13^{5} } \\ \\ = \frac{16.2517}{1.8424}

PV (of D6 )= 8.8209

Add the PVs to find the stock price;

= 0.3465 + 0.4140 + 0.4946 + 8.8209

= $10.08

Make (Alternative 1) :

Direct Materials                             $35.00

Direct labor                                    $18.00

Variable Overheads                      $2.70

Fixed Overheads                           $0.00

Total Make Costs                         $55.70

Buy (Alternative 2) :

Total Purchase Cost                    $59.00

<u>(b) On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to make the carrying cases or continue buying them? </u>

It is clear that from comparison of the cost of Purchase and the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases, the Cost of Making the Carrying Cases is lower than the Cost of Purchasing the Cases by $3.30

It is thus advisable to make carrying cases instead of buying them

Explanation:

Total Make Costs;

The Factory fixed overheads are irrelevant to this decision hence they were ignored in the make cost calculations.
