Answer:

a. $316,920

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value for Project A is shown below:

The net present value = Cash inflow after considering the discount factor - initial cost or initial investment

Cash inflow after considering the discount factor = $7,400,000

The discount factor for 4 years at 18% = 0.5158

So, the cash inflow is

= $7,400,000 × 0.5158

= $3,816,920

And, the initial investment is $3,500,000

So, the net present value is

= $3,816,920 - $3,500,000

= $316,920

Problem 9-18 Comprehensive Variance Analysis [LO9-4, LO9-5, LO9-6]

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

1 a. Materials price and quantity variances.

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) * Actual Quantity purchased

= ($2.45 - $2) * 15,800

= $0.45 * 15,800

= $7110 (Unfavorable)

Materials Quantity variance = (Actual Quantity used - Standard Quantity allowed) * Standard price

(10600 - 3000 * 3.6) * $2

= (10,600 - 10,800) * $2

= 200 * $2

= 400 (Favorable)

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances.

Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate) * Actual hours

= (6.30 - 6.6) * 2,100

= 0.3 * 2,100

= 630 (Favorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed) * Standard rate

= (2100 - 3000 * 0.5) * 6.6

= (2,100 - 1,500) * 6.6

= 600 * 6.6

= 3960 (Unfavorable)

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances

Variable overhead rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate * Actual machine hours)

= 3000 - (2.10 * 1200)

= 3,000 - 2,520

= 480 Unfavorable

Variable overhead Efficiency variance = (Actual hours - standard hours allowed)* Standard rate

= (1200 - 3000 * 0.3) * 2.10

= (1200 - 900) * 2.10

= 300 * 2.10

= 630 (Unfavorable)

2. Variances Amount

Material price variance 7,110 U

Material quantity variance 400 F

Labor rate variance 630 F

Labor efficiency variance 3,960 U

Variable overhead rate variance 480 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 630 U

Net variance 11,150 U

The net variance of all the variance of the month is 11,150 (Unfavorable)

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

i. Discounted cashflow equations.

a. $180,000 at the end of five years.

This is a lump sum present value/ discounted cashflow which can be calculated as;

Formula = 180,000 / ( 1 + r)^n

= 180,000/ ( 1 + 12%)^5

= $102,136.83

b. $11,400 a year forever

This is a perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow of a perpetuity is calculated as;

Formula = Amount/rate

= 11,400/12%

= $95,000

c. $19,000 for each of 10 years.

This is an annuity. The formula for calculating the Present value/ discounted cashflow of an annuity is;

$Formula = Annuity * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + i)^{-n} )}{i} ]$ where i is interest rate and n is number of periods

$= 19,000 * [\frac{( 1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-10} )}{0.12} ]$

= $107,354.24

d. $6,500 next year and increasing thereafter by 5% a year forever.

This is a growing perpetuity. The present value/ discounted cashflow formula is;

= Amount / ( discount rate - growth rate)

= 6,500 / ( 12% - 5%)

= $92,857.14

ii. Choose $19,000 for each of 10 years as it has the highest present value.
