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

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). C

Nitella [24]

Answer:

(a) The cash flows is $59,040.

(b) The cash flows is $71,040.

Explanation:

From the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:

Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate = $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400

Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600

We can now proceed as follows:

(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.

(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $87 per share, paid a dividend of $2.15 per share during the year, and had an ending sha

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Percentage total return is 12.64%

Dividend yield is 2.19% or 2%

Explanation:

Computing the percentage total return by using the formula:

Percentage total return = Gain or loss / Initial price × 100

where

Gain or loss is determined as:

Gain or loss = Ending Share price - Initial price

= $98 - $87

= $11 (it is a gain)

Initial price is $87

Putting the values above:

Percentage total return = $11 / $87 × 100

= 12.64%

Computing the dividend yield by using the formula:

Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share / Stock's price per share

where

Annual dividend per share is $2.15

Stock's price per share is $98

Putting the values above:

Dividend yield = $2.15 / $98

= 2.19% or 2%

Explanation:

Given:

accounts receivable of $238,000

allowance for uncollectable accounts of $600 (credit)

Also, the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 3% of accounts receivable.

Therefore the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be

= 3% of $238,000 - $600= $(7140-600)= $6,540
