Corner Jewelers, Inc. recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below. However, before the company decided to acc

ept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve changed interest rates and therefore the firm's cost of capital (r). The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows. By how much did the change in the r affect the project's forecasted NPV? Note that a project's expected NPV can be negative, in which case it should be rejected.Old r: 8.00% New r: 11.25%Year 0 1 2 3Cash flows −$1,000 $410 $410 $410a. −$59.03b. −$56.08c. −$53.27d. −$50.61e. −$48.08

Answer:

correct option is a. −$59.03

Explanation:

given data

Old cost of capital (r)   8.00%        New cost of capital (r)  11.25%

year                                 0                1                                     2                  3

cash flow                        -$1000       $410                              $410        $410

solution

we know that here old cost of capital (r) NPV will be

old cost of capital (r) NPV = cash flow 0 year + cash flow × \frac{1-(1+rate)^{-time}}{rate}

put here value

old cost of capital (r) NPV = -1000 + 410 × \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-3}}{0.08}

old cost of capital (r) NPV = $56.61

and

new cost of capital (r) NPV will be

new cost of capital (r) NPV = cash flow 0 year + cash flow × \frac{1-(1+rate)^{-time}}{rate}

put here value

new cost of capital (r) NPV = -1000 + 410 × \frac{1-(1+0.1125)^{-3}}{0.1125}

new cost of capital (r) NPV = -$2.42

so difference is

Difference = -$2.42 - $56.61

Difference = -$59.03

so correct option is a. −$59.03

scoray [572]

Answer:

Standard Hours     Standard Rate per Hour      Standard Cost

24 minutes (0.4 hrs.)            $5.40                                  $2.16

During August, 8,390 hours of direct labor time were needed to make 19,600 units of the Jogging Mate. The direct labor cost totaled $43,628 for the month.

1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to makes 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 19,600 jogging mates x 0.4 hours = 7,840 hours

2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to make 19,600 Jogging Mates?

  • 7,840 hours x $5.40 = $42,336

3. What is the labor spending variance?

  • labor spending variance = standard cost - actual cost = $42,336 - $43,628 = $1,292 unfavorable

4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance?

  • labor rate variance = (standard rate - actual rate) x actual hours = ([$5.40 - ($43,628/8,390 hours)] x 8,390 hours = ($5.40 - $5.20) x 8,390 hours = $0.20 x 8,390 = $1,678 favorable
  • labor efficiency variance = (standard hours - actual hours) x actual rate = (7,840 hours - 8,390 hours) x $5.20 = -550 hours x $5.20 = -$2,860 unfavorable
