Answer:

Comment for statement A - The firm must still compare the IRR with the opportunity cost of capital when using the IRR rule. Therefore, even with the IRR method, the appropriate discount rate must still be specified.

Comment for statement B - There should be a higher discount rate on risky cash flows than the rate used to discount less risky cash flows.

Making use of the payback rule is equivalent to using the NPV rule with a zero discount rate for cash flows before the payback period and an infinite discount rate for cash flows thereafter.

Explanation:

“I like the IRR rule. I can use it to rank projects without having to specify a discount rate”

The firm must still compare the IRR with the opportunity cost of capital when using the IRR rule. Therefore, even with the IRR method, the appropriate discount rate must still be specified.

“I like the payback rule. As long as the minimum payback period is short, the rule makes sure that the company takes no borderline projects. That reduces risk”

There should be a higher discount rate on risky cash flows than the rate used to discount less risky cash flows.

Making use of the payback rule is equivalent to using the NPV rule with a zero discount rate for cash flows before the payback period and an infinite discount rate for cash flows thereafter.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

a) maximize 12x+16y subject to x+y≤60; x+2y≤80; 2x-3y≥0; x-9y≤0.

b) 40 fish and 20 beef dinners

c) $800

Explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of fish and beef dinners to prepare, respectively. Then the relations these values must satisfy are ...

x + y ≤ 60 . . . . . a maximum of 60 dinners will be sold

0.25x + 0.50y ≤ 20 . . . . . kitchen hours cannot exceed 20

x/y ≥ 3/2 . . . . . . at least 3 fish dinners for each 2 beef dinners will be sold

y ≥ 0.10(x +y) . . . . at least 10% of dinners sold will be beef

While satisfying these relations, we want to maximize the profit function:

p = 12x +16y

a) The linear programming problem can be formulated as ...

Maximize 12x +16y, subject to ...

x + y ≤ 60
x + 2y ≤ 80
2x - 3y ≥ 0
x - 9y ≤ 0

b) The graph shows the constraint inequalities with the comparison symbol reversed. The effect of that is to shade the area that is NOT part of the solution set, leaving the feasible region white. The vertex of the (white) feasible region that makes the profit line farthest from the origin is the solution we're looking for. Once the profit line is plotted so we can compare its slope to the lines bounding the feasible region, it becomes clear which vertex is the one that maximizes profit.

The solution is (x, y) = (40, 20).

40 fish dinners
20 beef dinners

c) The maximum earnings are estimated to be ...

($12)(40) +($16)(20) = $800

Fragment Company is a wholesaler that sells merchandise in large quantities. Its catalog indicates a list price of $300 per unit

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Recognized Sales Value = $18,000

Explanation:

Fragment company selling Price is $300/Unit

40% trade discount is offered for purchases of 50 units and more. That is, $300 x 40% = $120.

This implies anyone buying 50 or more will pay only $180/Unit ($300 - $120)

Customer Purchased 100 units

Sales terms is FOB, which implies Fragment is responsible for transportation costs of the products from his warehouse to the Port of Shipment including loading onto the ship. The Buyer will be responsible for Marine Freight expense, Insurance, Off-loading and shipment to his own warehouse

The $7 Per Unit indicated will account for inland transport to Port of shipment

Recognized Sales = 100 units x $180 = $18,000

Cost of Haulage (Carriage outwards) is $7 x 100 units = $700

Explanation:

Cash flows Discount factor Future value

$100 1.1449 $114.49

$200 1.07 $214

$300 1 $300

Future value $628.49

The discount factor is as follows

= (1 + interest rate)^number of years

For $100 the year is 2

For $200 the year is 1

For $300 the year is 0
