Crockin Corporation is considering a machine that will save $9,000 a year in cash operating costs each year for the next six yea

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

IRR = 16.5%

Explanation:

T<em>he IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero </em>

<em>If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation </em>

<em>If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation </em>

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa at 10% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.1^-6)/0.1 = 39,197.35

NPV = 65,328.91 - 33,165 = 6,032.35

NPVb at 20% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000× 1-1.2^-6)/0.2= (3,235.41)

NPV = 29,929.59 -33,165 = (3,235.41)

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

IRR = 10% + ( (6,032.35/(6,032.35 +3,235.41) )× (20-10)%= 16.51%

IRR = 16.5%

Inventory Valuation under Variable Costing Lane Company produced 50,000 units during its first year of operations and sold 47,30

otez555 [7]

Answer:

1. $5.62

2. $15,174

Explanation:

1. The computation of the cost of one unit of product under variable costing is shown below:-

Total product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead

= $123,000 + $93,000 + $65,000

= $281,000

Unit product cost = Total product cost ÷ Produced units

= $281,000 ÷ $50,000

= $5.62

2. The computation of cost of ending inventory under variable costing is shown below:-

Unsold at end = Unit produced - Unit sold

= 50,000 - 47,300

= 2,700

Cost of ending inventory = Number of units sold × Unit product cost

= $5.62 × 2,700

= $15,174

You find the following corporate bond quotes. To calculate the number of years until maturity, assume that it is currently Janua

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

the yield to maturity for the bond issued by Xenon, Inc = 6.92%

Explanation:

<em>IMPORTANT NOTE: The data of the calculation was obtained from an online book.</em>

<em />

Yield to Maturity [YTM] of the Bond

Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

Par Value = $2,000

Coupon Amount = $126 [$2,000 x 6.30%]

Bond Price = $1,885.82 [$2,000 x 94.291%]

Maturity Years = 15 Years [Jan 15,2016 to Jan 15,2031]

Therefore, Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

= [$126 + {($2,000 – $1,885.82) / 15 Years)] / [($2,000 + $1,885.82) / 2}]

= [($126 + $7.61) / $ 1,942.91]

= 0.0692

= 6.92%

<h2> </h2><h2>Therefore, the yield to maturity for the bond issued by Xenon, Inc = 6.92%</h2>
