A firm might try to increase its market power in order to

In working on a bid for project you have determined that $245,000 of fixed assets will be required and that they will be depreci

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Question 1:

required investment $245,000

depreciation expense per year = ($245,00 - $23,200) / 5 = $44,360

you will also require $15,000 in working capital

annual cash costs = $68,500

what is the minimum amount of cash sales for accepting the project:

net cash flow₁ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14 = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72

net cash flow₂ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14² = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14² = 0.5002SR - $22,313.79

net cash flow₃ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14³ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14³ = 0.4387SR - $19,573.50

net cash flow₄ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360} / 1.14⁴ = (0.65SR - $28,999) / 1.14⁴ = 0.3849SR - $17,169.74

net cash flow₅ = {[(sales revenue - $68,500 - $44,360) x 0.65] + $44,360 + $15,000} / 1.14⁵ = (0.65SR - $13,999) / 1.14⁵ = 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

NPV = -initial outlay + cash flows

NPV = 0

initial outlay = cash flows

$260,000 = 0.5702SR - $25,437.72 + 0.5002SR - $22,313.79 + 0.4387SR - $19,573.50 + 0.3849SR - $17,169.74 + 0.3376SR - $7,270.64

$260,000 = 2.2316SR - $91,765.39

$351,765.39 = 2.2316SR

sales revenue = $351,765.39 / 2.2316 = $157,629.23

the closest answer is B = $155,119, but its NPV will be negative.

<u>so we have to select C = $162,515.75 that results in an NPV = $10,887. </u>

Question 2:

<u>The correct answer is D. return on equity will increase.</u>

If you lower your costs while your sales remain the same, your profits will increase as well as your ROE.

A consultant predicts that there is a 25 percent chance of earning $500,000 and a 75 percent chance of earning $100,000. The exp

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

$173,205

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Given data:

Earning (X1) = $500,000

Chances of X1 (Y1) = 25%

Earning (X2) = $100,000

Chances of X2 (Y2) = 75%

Expected Profit (Z) = $200,000

Formula for solving the problem are as follows:

Standard deviation = [ (X1 - Z)^2 × Y1 + (X2 - Z)^2 × Y2 ]^1/2

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Standard deviation = [ ($500,000 - $200000)^2 × 0.25 + ($100,000 - $200,000)^2 × 0.75 ]^1/2

= [ $22,500,000,000 + $7,500,000,000 ]^1/2

= ($30,000,000,000)^1/2

= $173,205.08 or $173,205

Hence, $173,205 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The government adoption of subsidies in order to support domestic telecommunication is the most effective solution in the long run. Domestic firms will be able to compete with lower prices as the cost and expenses structure would have a lighter burden over revenue.
