Answer:

The solution shows that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%.

Explanation:

The IRR or internal rate of return is the rate at which NPV or Net Present Value of the investment becomes zero. We are provided with the initial outlay for the project and the annual cash inflows along with time period. Using the annuity factors given below, we need to find out the factor which makes the NPV zero. The NPV is calculated as follows,

NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Initial Outlay

We can try out each annuity factor and see what NPV is generates.

1. 6% rate (Annuity factor = 5.582)

NPV = (30000 * 5.582) - 146040

NPV = $21420

2. 8% rate (Annuity factor = 5.206)

NPV = (30000 * 5.206) - 146040

NPV = $10140

3. 10% rate (Annuity factor = 4.868)

NPV = (30000 * 4.868) - 146040

NPV = $0

So, from the above solution we can see that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%

Virty [35]

Answer:

1/N

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is used to measure the market concentration and market competitiveness of firm(s).

A major advantage of this index is that it is easy to calculate while using small amount of data required for calculation.

It been used by government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice for cases involving mergers and acquisition.

Since we are concerned with the minimum possible value we divide $\frac{1}{N}$ .

Rio Coffee Shoppe sells two coffee drinks, a regular coffee and a latte. The two drinks have the following prices and cost chara

stepan [7]

Answer:

a) Regular coffee cups required to be sold = 4,690

b) Latte cups required to be sold = 2,010

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

For computing Contribution per mix :

Particulars Regular Coffee Latte

Sales price $1.60 $2.80

Less: variable cost $0.90 $1.70

Contribution $0.70 $1.10

Contribution per mix = ($0.70 × 70%) + ($1.10 × 30%)

= $0.82

Breakeven point at sales mix = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution per mix

=$5,494 ÷ $0.82

= 6,700 mixes

Requirement:

Cups of regular coffee for breakeven = Breakeven at sales mix × %of regular coffee sales

=6,700 × 70%

= 4,690 Cups

Cups of latte for breakeven = Breakeven at sales mix × %of latte sales

=6,700 × 30%

=2,010 Cups

b. Monthly financing cost = $540

Total for the four months = $2,160

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

March April May June

Beginning Inventory 0 5,000 6,000 2,000

Production 9,000 9,000 9,000 9,000

Monthly sales 4,000 8,000 13,000 11,000

Ending Inventory 5,000 6,000 2,000 0

Cost of inventory = $12 per unit

Monthly financing cost = $540 ($108,000 * 6% * 1/12)

Total financing cost for the four months = $2,160 ($540 * 4)
