Proposal #1 would extend trade credit to some customers that previously have been denied credit because they were considered poo

r risks. Sales are projected to increase by $200,000 per year if credit is extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 7% are projected to be uncollectible. Additional collection costs are projected to be 3% of incremental sales (whether they actually end up collected or not), and production and selling costs are projected to be 80% of sales. Your firm expects to pay a total of 30% of its income after expenses in taxes.
Compute the incremental income after taxes that would result from these projections:
Compute the incremental Return on Sales if these new credit customers are accepted If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 4 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers…
Compute the additional investment in Accounts Receivable
Compute the incremental Return on New Investment
If your company requires a 20% Rate of Return on Investment for all proposals, do the numbers suggest that trade credit should be extended to these new customers? Explain.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Compute the incremental income after taxes that would result from these projections:

Sales increase= $200,000

Less: Uncollectible accounts:

= 7% × $200,000

= ($14,000)

Annual incremental value= $186,000

Less: Collection cost:

= 3% × $200,000

= ($6000)

Less: Production and selling cost:

= 80% × $200,000

= ($160,000)

Incremental income before tax= $20000

Tax at 30% = ($6000)

Incremental income after tax = $14000

b. Compute the incremental Return on Sales if these new credit customers are accepted If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 4 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customer.

Incremental Return on Sales will be:

= Incremental income after taxes ÷ Increase in sales

= $14000/$200000

= 7%

c. Compute the additional investment in Accounts Receivable.

Since the receivable turnover ratio will be 4, then the additional investment in the accounts receivable will be:

= Additional credit sales/Receivable turnover ratio

= $200000 /4

= $50,000

Therefore, the additional investment in the accounts receivable will be $50,000.

d. Compute the incremental Return on New Investment.

The incremental return on new investment will be:

= Incremental income after taxes/Additional investment

= $14000/$50000

= 28%

e. If your company requires a 20% Rate of Return on Investment for all proposals, do the numbers suggest that trade credit should be extended to these new customers? Explain.

Yes, the numbers implies that trade credit should be extended to these new customers. This is because the incremental return on the new investment is 28%, and this is higher than the rate of return on investment which is 20%.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

C. 120

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

                                      (L × K)

<u>Labor L      Capital K   Quantity of Output Q         Total cost TC</u>

1                    2                      2                                       $40

2                   4                      8                                       $80

                                                                   (2 × $20 + 4 × $10)

3                    6                    18                                       $120

                                                                  (3 × $20 + 6 × $10)

4                    8                     32                                      $160

                                                                 (4 × $20 + 8 × $10)

As we can see that if we considered 3 units of labor so the total cost is $120

Hence, the correct option is c.

An investment offers a total return of 15 percent over the coming year. Janice Yellen thinks the total real return on this inves
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The inflation rate of return is 3.60%

Explanation:

As we know,

Inflation rate of return = {( 1 + nominal rate of return) ÷ ( 1+ real rate of return)} - 1

= {( 1 + 15%) ÷ (1+11%)} - 1

= (1.15) ÷ (1.11)} - 1

= 1.0360 - 1

= 0.360 or 3.60%

The inflation rate of return shows a relationship between the nominal rate of return and the real rate of return. We simply divide the nominal rate of return by real rate of return

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$201,000

Explanation:

The computation of net cash flows from operating activities is shown below:-

Beginning Total Assets            $570,000

Ending total assets                   $770,000

Average Total Assets in use    $670,000

($570,000 + $770,000) ÷ 2

Cash return on Asset                    30%

Cash Flow from operating activities  

Average Assets × 25%               $201,000

($670,000 × 25%)

Therefore the Cash Flow from operating activities is $201,000

What makes increased government spending an effective tool for increasing demand?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The increased government spending generates people to have an increase in funds available which will allow them to increase their consumption and liek that the demand increases.

Explanation:

If there is an increase in government spending, this will cause people to have more funds available, for example, it can cause the unemployed people to find jobs which will allow them to have more money to spend. Because of that, the demand for products and services will increase which can produce growth in the short term.
