The question is incomplete because the two mutually exclusive alternatives details were not given in the question.

However, kindly find the complete question below with all the details.:

Question:

Two mutually exclusive alternatives are being considered for the environmental protection equipment at a petroleum refinery. one of these alternatives must be selected. the estimated cash flows for each alternative are as follows:

ALTERNATIVE A:

capital investment= $20,000

annual expenses= $5,500

market value at end of useful life= $1,000

useful life= 5 years

ALTERNATIVE B:

capital investment= $38,000

annual expenses= $4,000

market value at end of useful life= $4,200

useful life= 10 years

a) Which environmental protection equipment alternative should be selected? the firms MARR is 20% per year. assume the equipment will be needed indefinitely

b) Assume the study period is shortened to five years. the market value of alternative B after five years is estimated to be $15,000. which alternative would you recommend

Answer / Explanation:

First, we need to identify the budget line:

The budget line shows the various combination of goods that can be brought by the consumer with the given income. The slope of the budget line is the ratio of two goods prices. It has a negative slope.

Now, to calculate for the present value, we have,

(a) Alternative A = -20,000 - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ² - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ³ -5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁴  - 5500/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁵ + 1000/( 1 + 0.20 ) ⁵

= − 36046.49

    Alternative B = -38,000 - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )² - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )³ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁴ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁵ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁶ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁷ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁸ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁹

= − 54091.56

Going forward to calculate the annual worth, we have,

Alternative A = NPV / PVIFA ( 20%, 5 years)

                      − 36046.49 / 2.9906

                         =  − $ 12053.26

Alternative B =  NPV / PVIFA ( 20%, 5 years)

                    − 54091.56 / 4.1925

                       = − $ 12901.98

It should be noted that Alternative A should be chosen as it has lower annual cost.

(b) Present Value:

Alternative B = -38000  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )  - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )² - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )³ - 4000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁴ - 15000/ ( 1 + 0.20 )⁵

=  -  43934.28

Annual Worth for Alternative B therefore is

= -43934.28 / 29906

=  −  $ 14690.79

It should be noted that Alternative A should be chosen as it has lower annual cost.

The annual demand for a product has been projected at 2,000 units. This demand is assumed to be constant throughout the year. Th
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The company should order 100 units to minimize total inventory cost.

Explanation:

Given,

Annual Demand, D = 2,000 units

Order cost, S = $20

Purchase cost = $40

Holding cost, H = Purchase cost x percentage of holding cost

Holding cost = $40 × 20%

Holding cost = $8

We know, the company should order the highest number of products with a minimum cost, and for that, the company uses economic order quantity. Hence,

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = \sqrt\frac{2*D*S}{H} }

EOQ = \sqrt \frac{2*2,000*20}{8}

EOQ = \sqrt{10,000}

EOQ = 100

nalin [4]

Answer: $21 per direct labor hour.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the predetermined overhead rate that is used will be calculated as:

= Manufacturing overhead / Direct labor

where,

Manufacturing overhead = 5460

Direct labor = 3900/15 = 260 hours

Therefore, predetermined overhead rate:

= 5460/260

= $21 per direct labor hour.

Workman Software has 8.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with 19 years to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments and cu
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

current yield 8.2089552%

YTM = 8.05%

effective annual yield = 4.92%

Explanation:

(A)

current yield = C/P

coupon payment / market price

8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%

(B)

P = \frac{C}{2} \times\frac{1-(1+YTM/2)^{-2t} }{YTM/2} + \frac{CP}{(1+YTM/2)^{2t}}

First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.

market price 107.2

face value 100

time = 19

rate 8.8%

C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8

You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate

YTM/2 = 0.040268160

then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM

0.040268160  x 2 =

YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%

(C)

Effective Annual Yield

(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY

where:

Holding period return:

\frac{Net \: Return}{Investment} = HPR

In this case:

coupon payment + redem - investment = net return

8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160

160/107.2 = 1.492537313

Then

(1+HPR)^{365/time} -1 = EAY

(1+1.142537313)^{\frac{365}{19\times365}} -1 = EAY

EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%
