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!!!

In 2015, the city of Berkeley instituted a tax on sugar-sweetened sodas. Suppose that the tax increased the price of a typical s
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

(g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Increase in price of typical soda = 10 cents

Total consumed = 150,000 sodas [er day

Dropped quantity = 75,000 sodas

So by considering the above information, the per day compensating variation of the tax varies from 0 and - 7,500

Since the sugar sweetened sodas is treated as a normal goods. Moreover, people can substitute the other goods also if there is an increase in a price of the good

The -7,500 is come from = (-75,000 × 0.10)

The options are as follows

(a) Greater than -$15k because soda is a luxury good with income (b) -$15k because that is the old consumption level times the value of the tax (c) Between -S7.5k and -$15k because soda is a luxury good elasticity > 1 with income elasticity >1 (d) Between -$7.5k arti -$15k because residents can substitute to other products (e) -$7.5k because that is the new consumption level times the value of the tax ()-$7.5k because that is the change in consumption times the value of the tax (g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products (h) Between 0 and -$7.5k because because beverages are typically necessity goods with 6) Nothing because there was no effect on income G) It is impossible to say without knowing consumers' marginal rate of substitution income elasticity less than 1

If a country has a trade surplus, then the country Group of answer choices imports as much as it exports imports more than it ex
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

exports more than it imports

Trade surplus is when export exceeds import.

Export is the sum total of goods and services sold to other countries. For example, if clothes are sold to China, it constitutes export.

Import is the sum total of goods and services bought from other countries. If a laptop manufactured in China is sold to someone in the US, this is import

Trade deficit is when a country imports more than it exports

If the monetary authorities decide to increase the nominal money supply by 10% when the economy is at its full employment level
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

  • 10%
  • (will increase in the short run) but in the long run it will return to the potential output level.  

Explanation:

If the money supply is increased by 10%, the inflation rate will also increase by 10%.

In the short run the economy will be able to produce an output which is higher than the potential GDP, but once the inflation rate catches up, both the unemployment rate will increase and the real GDP will return to its potential output level.

Simon Software Co. is trying to estimate its optimal capital structure. Right now, Simon has a capital structure that consists o
lidiya [134]

Answer:

14.35%

Explanation:

Simon Software Co

rs= 12%

D/E = 0.25

rRF= 6%

RPM= 5%

Tax rate = 40%.

We are going to find the firm’s current levered beta by using the CAPM formula which is :

rs = rRF+ RPM

12%= 6% + 5%

= 1.2

We are going to find the firm’s unlevered beta by using the Hamada equation:

=bU[1 + (1 −T)(D/E)]

Let plug in the formula

1.2= bU[1 + (0.6)(0.25)]

1.2=(1+0.15)

1.2= 1.15bU

1.2÷1.15

1.0435= bU

We are going to find the new levered beta not the new capital structure using the Hamada equation:

b= bU[1 + (1 −T)(D/E)]

Let plug in the formula

= 1.0435[1 + (0.6)(1)]

=1.0435(1+0.6)

=1.0435(1.6)

= 1.6696

Lastly we are going to find the firm’s new cost of equity given its new beta and the CAPM:

rs= rRF+ RPM(b)

Let plug in the formula

= 6% + 5%(1.6696)

= 14.35%

leva [86]
<h3>California Inc Estimated ending inventory is $319,000 </h3>

Explanation:

Goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Net purchases

  • California Inc Beginning inventory $310,000
  • California Inc Net purchases = $905,000
  • California Inc Goods available for sale = $1,215,000

Gross profit = Net sales *  profit %

  • California Inc Net sales = $1,280,000
  • California Inc gross profit = 30%  
  • California Inc gross profit = $384,000

Estimated cost of goods sold = Net sales - Gross profit

  • California Inc Estimated cost of goods sold = $1,280,000 - $384,000
  • California Inc Estimated cost of goods sold = $896,000

Estimated ending inventory = Goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold

  • California Inc Estimated ending inventory = $1,215,000 - $896,000
  • California Inc Estimated ending inventory = $319,000

California Inc Estimated ending inventory is $319,000
