Answer:

1. Compute the net benefits using a discount rate of 6 percent.

Net befit of Project 1 = $629.04

Net befit of Project 2 = $1,578.47

2. Repeat using a discount rate of 12 percent.

Net befit of Project 1 = $339.38

Net befit of Project 2 = - $373.39

3. What can you conclude from this exercise?

(a) Project 2 should be chosen when the discount rate is 6 percent.

(b) Project 1 should be chosen when the discount rate is 12 percent.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of net benefits for Project 1 and Project 2.

3. What can you conclude from this exercise?

(a) When a discount rate of 6 percent is used, both Project 1 and Project 2 have positive net benefit. But the net benefit of Project 2 of $1,578.47 is higher than the net benefit of Project 1 of $629.04.

Therefore, project 2 should be chosen when the discount rate is 6 percent.

(a) When a discount rate of 12 percent is used, only Project 1 has a net benefit of $339.38, but the net benefit of Project 2 is negative at minus $373.39.

Therefore, project 1 should be chosen when the discount rate is 12 percent.

At a farmer’s market, a basket of strawberries costs $20 and a basket of peaches costs $18. On Saturday, 23 baskets were sold
nlexa [21]

Based on the calculation done, there are 15 baskets of peaches.

x + y = 23 ..... i

20x + 18y = 430 ...... ii

From equation i, x = 23 - y ..... iii

Put equation iii into ii

20x + 18y = 430

20(23 - y) + 18y = 430

460 - 20y + 18y = 430

2y = 30

y = 30/2 = 15

x + y = 23.

x + 15 = 23

x = 23 - 15 = 8

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&January&February\\$beginning&45000&27500\\$receipts&97000&150000\\$disbursement&-114500&-163500\\$interest&0&0\\$subtotal&27500&14000\\$minimun&20000&20000\\$Financing&&\\$beginning&0&0\\$payment/loan&0&6000\\$ending&0&6000\\&&\\$ending cash&27500&20000\\\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

On January we collect the 85,000 from revenues and the 12,00 form marketable securities.

Then, we add up each disbursement:

Materials 50000

Labor       30000

Overhead (net of depreciation) 19,500

Selling and administrative 15000

Total 114,500

Then we solve for the cash balance and get the blaance as it is higher than 20,000 we do not need financing

Then, this value is the beginning cash for February. As the ending balance is 14,000 we will take 6,000 financing to reach the bare minimum of 20,000
