You are the CFO of a major pharmaceutical firm. A division manager has presented senior management with an investment opportunit

y.
The project would require an investment of $95 million today

If the project succeeds, it will be worth $1 billion in a year. You estimate that there is only a 10% chance that the venture would succeed. If it fails, then in a year you will scrap the project and all of your firm’s $95 million investment will be lost.

Whether the venture succeeds or fails is independent of general market conditions.

The risk-free rate is 3%, the expected return of the market is 12%, and the standard deviation of the market return is 20%. Ignore taxes.

What is the NPV of the project?

$775 million

$870 million

$2.1 million

-$95 million

Answer: $2.1 million

Explanation:

It is mentioned the project is independent of the outcome of general market  which means that

=> beta = 0

Using the CAPM formula which is,

r=rt + B* (rm -rf)

=> r = 3% + 0*(12%-3%) = 3%

Expected value of Project in one year = $1 billions * 0.1

Expected value of Project in one year = $100 millions

NPV = Expected value of Project in one year/ (1 + 0.03) - Initial cost

NPV = 100/ (1 + 0.03) - 95

NPV = 97.1 - 95

NPV = $2.1 million

Answer:

$2.1 million

Explanation:

We solve for the expected monetary value at the end of the project:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\success&1000&0.1&100\\fail&0&0.9&0\\Total&&1&100\\\end{array}\right]

Then, we have to know at which rate to discount this value so we use CAPM

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.09

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0 (independent from the market threfore no correlation.

Ke= 0.03 + 0 (0.09)

Ke 0.03000

Now we discount:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $100.00

time  1.00

rate  0.03000

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.03)^{1} } = PV  

PV   97.0874

NPV: 97.0874 - 95 = 2.0874 we round up and get 2.10 presnet value (in millions)

Step2247 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entries are shown below:-

1. Right of use assets Dr, $371,049

          To Lease payable $371,049

(Being lease is recorded)

Working note:-

Present value of periodic lease payment $354,595

($100,000 × (present value of ordinary annuity of $1, n = 4, i = 5%)

($100,000 × 3.54595)

Present value of an estimated cash payment under a residual value

$16,454 (Present value $1, n = 4, i = 5%)

Lease payment = $354,595 + $16,454

= $371,049

2. Amortization expense Dr, ($371,049 ÷ 4 years) $97,262

             To Right of use assets $97,262

(Being related to the lease is recorded)

3. Interest expense Dr, (5% × $371,049) $18,552

Lease payable Dr, $81,448

            To annual payment of cash $100,000

(Being annual payment of lease is recorded)

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: Total Variable Costs = $110130

Explanation:

The question in incomplete. Requirements were not provided in the question, as a result it is not clear what the question requires us to do. We will assume the question requires us to calculate Total variable costs since There is nothing in the question that talks about fixed costs.

Total Variable Costs

Manufacturing costs

Direct Material Per pound = $2.95

Direct Material used  = 27800 pounds

Direct Material Cost = 27800 x 2.95 = $82010

Direct Labor

Direct Labor cost per hour = $6.20

Direct Labor hours = 3800

Direct Labour Cost = 3800 x $6.20 = $23560

Variable Manufacturing overhead cost = $4560

Total Variable Costs = Direct Material cost + Direct labor costs + Variable Manufacturing overhead

Total Variable Costs = $82010 + $23560 + $4560

Total Variable Costs = $110130

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1. 45.5%

2. 13.3%

3. 7.2%

Explanation:

The formulas and calculations are shown below:

1. Gross margin = (Sales - cost of sales) ÷ (sales) × 100

                          = ($10.1 million - $5.5 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          =  ($4.6 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          = 45.5%

Gross profit = Sales - cost of sales

2. Operating margin = (Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($4.6 million -  $460,000 or $0.46 million - $1.4 million - $1.4 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($1.34 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 13.3%

Operating income = Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges

3. Net profit margin = (Operating income - taxes) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($1.34 million - $0.6097 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($0.7303 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 7.2%

The income tax expense =  Operating income × income tax rate

                                          = $1.34 million × 45.5%

                                           = $0.6097 million
