Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,915,000 investment in equipment with a useful life o

f five years and no salvage value. The company’s discount rate is 16%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:Sales $ 2,863,000Variable expenses 1,014,000Contribution margin 1,849,000Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $ 781,000 Depreciation 583,000 Total fixed expenses 1,364,000Net operating income $ 485,000Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using table.5. What is the project profitability index for this project? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)6. What is the project’s internal rate of return? (Round your answer to nearest whole percent.)8. What is the project’s simple rate of return for each of the five years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)10. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project’s payback period to be higher, lower, or the same?11. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project's net present value to be higher, lower, or the same?12. If the equipment had a salvage value of $300,000 at the end of five years, would you expect the project’s simple rate of return to be higher, lower, or the same?13. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the project’s actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)14.

Answer: [1]. Simple Rate of Return = 16.64%

[2]. Profitability Index = 1.20

[3]. Payback Period = 2.73 years

[4]. Lower net present value

Explanation:

let us take a step by step process to deal with this question.

Given the Initial Investment = $2,915,000

With a useful Life of 5 years

Annual Net Cash flows = Annual Net Operating Income + Depreciation

Annual Net Cash flows = $485,000 + $583,000

Annual Net Cash flows = $1,068,000

(1). Simple Rate of Return = Annual Net Income / Initial Investment

Simple Rate of Return = $485,000 / $2,915,000

Simple Rate of Return = 16.64%

(2). Present Value of Cash Inflows = $1,068,000 * PVA of $1 (16%, 5)

Present Value of Cash Inflows = $1,068,000 * 3.27429

Present Value of Cash Inflows = $3,496,941.72

Profitability Index = Present Value of Cash Inflows / Initial Investment

Profitability Index = $3,496,941.72 / $2,915,000

Profitability Index = 1.20

(3). Payback Period = Initial Investment / Annual Net Cash flows

Payback Period = $2,915,000 / $1,068,000

Payback Period = 2.73 years

 

(4). An increase in discount rate, will cause a decrease in net present value

As a result causes the project's net present value to be lower.

cheers i hope this helps!!!

ankoles [38]

Answer:

b) $54,500

Explanation:

Beginning balance of raw material = $27,500

Ending balance was = $51,000

Purchases = $78,000

Direct cost of raw material is the net of the addition of the opening balance of raw materials and purchases less the closing balance. The manufacturing overhead cost is a mix of all the indirect cost incurred during production.

As such, the manufacturing overhead cost of $118,500 consisting of $3,500 consisted of raw materials would not be considered in determining the direct raw material cost.

Direct cost of raw material = $27,500 + $78,000 - $51,000

= $54,500

blagie [28]

Both tariffs and quotas are instruments used to impede or reduce trade. Both quotas and tariffs place restrictions on the quantity of imported commodities.

<h3>What are exports and imports?</h3>

Exports: The products and services that a nation produces at home and sells to clients or enterprises abroad are known as exports. The nation selling its goods and services benefits from an infusion of money as a result. Businesses may opt to export their products and services to another country because it allows them to:

Take part in international trade

reach out to new markets

raising sales

Imports : are the products and services that a company or customer buys from another nation. The nation that is making the purchases sees money leave the country as a result. Although most nations want to import less products and services than they export in order to boost domestic revenue, a high amount of imports can be a sign of an expanding economy. This is especially true if the majority of the imports are productive assets, such machinery and equipment, which the receiving nation may utilize to raise the productivity of their own economy.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$154,700

Explanation:

The computation of the change in amount is shown below

But before that first find out the ending capital balance which is

= (Total assets - total liabilities) + (revenues - expenses) - drawings

= ($300,000 - $208,000) + ($523,000 - $319,000) - $49,300

= $92,000 + $204,000 - $49,300

= $92,000 + $154,700

= $246,700

Now the change in capital balance is

= Closing balance - opening balance

= $246,700 - $92,000

= $154,700

You have just been hired as a brand manager of toothpaste for a large consumer products company. Your job mainly involves encour
vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

If I am hired as brand manager I would do the following:

Step 1: To conduct an analysis with Production team & Sales Team

This step serves as the base to understand the challenges, process and the victory achieved so far. The aim is to promote the product. So it is necessary to analyze the challenges from both production team and mainly with sales team. I would do an analysis and find possible ways to fix those.

Step 2: Conduct a training program associated with step 1

After analyzing the possible way, since I don't have a direct control over the team, I would conduct a training program and will list down ways to face the challenge and promote the product. It will be conducted as a "Knowledge-sharing session"

Step 3: Concentrate on advertisement too

The best way to reach the product is through advertising through the media. The best advertisement can attract people and bring business.

Step 4: Re-analysis: This is where an hand-holding process gets initiated and continue through out. Once again go back to step 1 and the process continues.
