Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled

machine. The new machine would cost $100,000 and would have a sixteen-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $10,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $40,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $10,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.): (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Answer:

26.4%.

Explanation:

Net Profit:

= Saving of Labor & other Costs - Maintenance Cost of Machine -  Depreciation On Machine (100,000/ 16 years)

= $40,000 - $10,000 - $6,250

= $23,750

Initial Investment:

= Cost of new Machine - Salvage value of old machine

= $100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Simple Rate of Return = Net Profit ÷ Initial Investments

= $23,750 ÷ $90,000

= 0.264 × 100

= 26.4%

If the exchange rate rises, which of the following falls in the open-economy macroeconomic model? a. desired net exports and des
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: Option(d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Neither desired net exports nor desired net capital outflow

If there is increase in the exchange rate, then there will be depreciation of the home currency. This means that now a person have to pay more for the same amount of imported goods.

The exports of a country also increases with increase in the exchange rate. So, the economy became more stronger.

And an economy rises exchange rate for stabilizing the foreign interest rate and domestic interest rate.

If the domestic interest rate is higher than the foreign interest rate then there is a inflow of capital in the home country. So, an economy increases the exchange rate to equal the foreign interest rate and domestic interest rate.

Average Accounting Return. Concerning AAR:a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a. Describe how the average accounting return is usually calculated and describe the information this measure provides about a sequence of cash flows. What is the AAR criterion decision rule?

Average accounting return = average net income / average investment

The problem with AAR is that net cash flows are not equal to net income since depreciation expense and changes in net working capital are not accounted for by AAR.

The criterion decision rule is that projects with an AAR above a certain measure.

b. What are the problems associated with using the AAR as a means of evaluating a project’s cash flows? What underlying feature of AAR is most troubling to you from a financial perspective? Does the AAR have any redeeming qualities?

it doesn't consider net cash flows, nor time value of money. Personally, accounting is an extremely important tool but it only reflects a partial perspective of a business. E.g. a business might have a huge net income but if it doesn't have enough cash to function, it will go bankrupt. In finance, cash is king.

Personally, my biggest problem with AAR is that it doesn't consider net cash flows. I've been on situations where the company I worked for was apparently doing great, but our accounts receivables were huge and we couldn't collect money fast enough. My job was basically go to different banks and convince them of loaning us cash. The worst part was that even without being able to collect cash, we still had to pay taxes and that was another huge problem.

I believe that AAR is still used because of its simplicity. Also, taxes are paid based on accounting profits and many firms base they compensation plans on them.
