Answer:

Osaka ROI is 28%

Yokohama ROI is 18%

Explanation:

The formula for return on investment =net income/average operating assets*100

For Osaka division:

net income is $749,000

average operating assets is $2,675,000

return on investment=$749,000/$2,675,000*100

                                  =28%

For Yokohama

net income is $3,330,000

average operating assets is $18,500,000

return on investment=$3,330,000/$18,500,000

                                  =18%

Even though Yokohama has a higher net operating income ,the Osaka division recorded a better performance using ROI as  a performance metric,which shows profit computation is an absolute figure which does not consider the amount of resources invested in  order to earn the profit

Current sales is taken as 80,000 units instead of 84,000 units.

Answer:

Goshford Company

If Goshford Company accepts the offer to sell additional 21,000 units at the reduced price of $75.00 per unit, the combined total net income is:

$5,445,500.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Monthly production capacity = 105,000 units

Current sales = 80,000 units

Regular unit selling price = $146

Regular sales revenue = $11,680,000 ($146 * 80,000)

Special order selling price = $75.00

Special order quantity = 21,000

Special order sales revenue = $1,575,000 ($75 * 21,000)

mario62 [17]

Answer:

We can say the rate is close enought to 14%

Explanation:

tthe IRR will be the rate at wich the NPV is zero

The cash flow are an annuity of 4,120 for 6 years

NPV = present value of cash flow - investment

 0    =  PV of annuity - investment

 0  = PV of annuity - 16,000

PV = 16,000

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C    4120

time  6

rate       IRR

4120 \times \frac{1-(1+IRR)^{-6} }{IRR} = 16,000\\

We divide the PV by the annuity to get the annuity factor

16,000 / 4,120 = 3,88349

We can look into the annuity table for a factor at time = 6 close to this figure

we have

14% factor of 3.889

15% factor of 3.784

We can say the rate is close enought to 14%
