Swift Delivery is a small company that transports business packages between New York and Chicago. It operates a fleet of small v

ans that moves packages to and from a central depot within each city and uses a common carrier to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. Swift Delivery recently acquired approximately $4 million of cash capital from its owners, and its president, George Hay, is trying to identify the most profitable way to invest these funds. Todd Payne, the company’s operations manager, believes that the money should be used to expand the fleet of city vans at a cost of $900,000. He argues that more vans would enable the company to expand its services into new markets, thereby increasing the revenue base. More specifically, he expects cash inflows to increase by $325,000 per year. The additional vans are expected to have an average useful life of four years and a combined salvage value of $100,000. Operating the vans will require additional working capital of $50,000, which will be recovered at the end of the fourth year. In contrast, Oscar Vance, the company’s chief accountant, believes that the funds should be used to purchase large trucks to deliver the packages between the depots in the two cities. The conversion process would produce continuing improvement in operating savings and reduce cash outflows as follows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 $ 175,000 $ 375,000 $ 450,000 $ 500,000 The large trucks are expected to cost $1,000,000 and to have a four-year useful life and a $81,250 salvage value. In addition to the purchase price of the trucks, up-front training costs are expected to amount to $20,000. Swift Delivery’s management has established a 10 percent desired rate of return. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Net Present Value (NPV): It the distinction among the initial cash outflow and the present value of cash inflows. It assists in making project investment conclusion. A positive NPV means that the project should be accepted and if it is on negative swing then it should be rejected. Projects with upper NPV should be accepted in case of two mutually exclusive projects having positive net present value.

Which of the following is an example of a raw goods producer?
valkas [14]

Answer:

C, a lumber company

Explanation:

The definition of a raw goods producer is a type of producer whose job is to provide raw goods, which are goods in their natural state.  A raw goods producer cannot provide services but only basic commodities (actual items).

Raw goods are usually  basic goods collected or retrieved from nature (the good is not changed or manipulated) and used in the production of manufactured goods.

Basically, think of raw goods as the ingredients in a cooking recipe. A cook does not make or produce the ingredients, the cook simply collects the ingredients from farm who collects the ingredients from nature (raw goods provider). Manufactured goods are what the cook produces out of the cooking ingredients(raw goods).

Out of all the answer choices, the only company which provides raw goods is a lumber company; they simply collect wood, which can be found naturally (without producing it in a factory / man-made) and sell it to producers.

A is wrong, since people use raw goods when MAKING sushi. Since sushi is being produced, it is a manufactured product.

B is wrong, since a comedy club provides services not the selling of real goods.

D may sound right, however many items in grocery stores are produced by factories. In order to be a raw goods producer, the company must specialize and serve only raw goods. Grocery stores have manufactured goods such as ice cream, shampoo, cereal, etc.

PV = A*[1-(1+r)^-n]/r

A = annual payment = $100,000
r = Interest rate = 8% = 0.08
n = Number of year = 20
PV = present value of the earnings

Therefore,
PV = 100,000*[1-(1+0.08)^-20]/0.08 = $981,814.74
