Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B

In 2020, the Merkel Company had revenues of $2,600,000 and costs of $2,100,000. During 2021, Merkel will be introducing a new pr
Artemon [7]

Answer:

d. $88,000

Explanation:

In 2020, Merkel company's

Revenue = $2,600,000

Cost = $2,100,000

Operating profits = Revenue -  Cost

= $2,600,000 - $2,100,000

= $500,000

In 2021, the company's;

Revenue increases by $260,000

New revenue = $260,000 + $2,600,000 = $2,860,000

New Cost = $2,100,000 + $172,000 = $2,272,000

New Operating profits = $2,860,000 - $2,272,000

= $588,000

Expected increase in Operating profits = $588,000 - $500,000

= $88,000

The expected increase in operating profit amounts to $88,000.

If actual sales totaled $500,000 for the current year (40,000 units at $12.50 each) and planned sales were $495,000 (45,000 unit
irina [24]

Answer: <u>The answer is A. $60,000 increase.</u>

<u />

Explanation: 1: The actual units sold multiplied by the budgeted sale price is equal to a total of $440000 (40000 x 11 = $ 440000)

2: The actual units sold multiplied by the actual sale price is equal to $500000 (40,000 x 12.5 = $ 500,000)

3:<u> $500000 - $440000 = </u><u>$60000</u><u> increase by the unit price factor.</u>

A company's unit costs based on 100,000 units are: Variable costs $75 Fixed costs 30 The normal unit sales price per unit is $16
Basile [38]

Answer:

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000

Explanation:

given data

Variable costs = $75

Fixed costs = 30

sales price = $165

to find out

incremental profit or loss  from accepting

solution

we get here contribution per unit will be here as

contribution per unit = $165 - $75

contribution per unit = $90

now we get here loss on contribution for giving up regular sale that is

loss on contribution = $3000 × $90

loss on contribution = $270000

and

now we get Incremental contribution for special order will be

Incremental contribution = (135 - 75) × 5000

Incremental contribution = $300000

and

Incremental profit will be  = $300000 - $270000

Incremental profit = $30000

so correct option is a. $30,000
