Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui

ld and $175,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW-based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR and (b) which design is preferred at an MARR of 25% per year.

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs

Nachman Industries just paid a dividend of D0 = $1.32. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% i
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Stock's current market value = $44.87

Explanation:

We can solve this stock valuation problem using DDM (Dividend Discount Model).

Lets find the dividends for the years:

D0 = $1.32

D1 = $1.32*1.3 = $1.716

D2 = $1.716*1.1 = $1.888

D3 = $1.888*1.05 = $1.982

The formula of stock valuation:

P_n=\frac{D_{n+1}}{k_e-g}

Lets calculate the terminal value after Year 3 afterwards:

P_n=\frac{D_{n+1}}{k_e-g}\\P_n=\frac{1.982}{0.09-0.05}\\P_n=49.55

<u>Note:</u> rate of return, k_e = 0.09 (given) and growth rate (g) is 5% or 0.05

Now,

The present value of the stocks is gotten using formula:

P_n=\frac{D_{n+1}}{(1+r)^n}+\frac{Terminal}{(1+r)^n}

So, we have:

P_0=\frac{1.716}{1.09}+\frac{1.888}{1.09^2}+\frac{49.55}{1.09^2}\\P_0=44.87

Stock's current market value = $44.87

The high-low method calculates the total fixed cost as the: Group of answer choices
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

c. difference between total variable costs and total costs at a particular activity level

Explanation:

The high low method consists of calculating costs on the basis of highest & lowest activity & comparing their corresponding total costs.

Variable cost per unit is found by : change in cost divided by the change in activity level for two points

Variable Cost per unit = <u>Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost </u>

                                      Highest activity units - lowest activity units

Fixed Cost is thereafter calculated by subtracting Total Variable Costs from Total Cost

Fixed Cost = Highest Activity Total Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (highest activity units)

Fixed Cost = Lowest Activity Cost - [ (Variable cost per unit) x (lowest activity units)]

melamori03 [73]
<span>Much of the methamphetamine consumed in the US is manufactured domestically by amateur chemists in meth labs from common household drugs and chemicals such as lye, lithium, and ammonia.
