Answer:

The project will not be approved

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $-58,500

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,400

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,500

IRR = 13,41%

profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)  

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $-58,500

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,400

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,500

I = 10%

NPV = $2,772.72

PI = 1 + $2,772.72 / $58,500 = 1.04

The project will not be approved because the PI is less than the amount of return the boss wants even though the IRR is less than the discount rate

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

liq [111]

Answer:

b.use the S-2 employee

Explanation:

Calculation for the the most cost-effective solution

S-1 S-2 S-3

Time for 1 unit (in minutes) 30 24 21

Units in 1 hour 2 2.5 2.857142857

(60/30= 2)

(60/24=2.5)

(60/21=2.857142857)

Wages per hour $ 16.00 $ 19.00 $ 22.00

Wages per/ unit $ 8.00 $7.60 7.70

($ 16.00/2=$8)

($ 19.00/2.5=$ 7.60)

($ 22.00/2.857142857=$ 7.70)

Ranking

S-1 $ 8.00 III

S-2. $7.60 I

S-3 7.70 II

Therefore based on the above Calculation the most cost-effective solution will be to use the S-2 employee

svlad2 [7]

In this case the perfect tender rule

b. does not apply.

Explanation:

The perfect tender rule has certain exceptions where it cannot be applied to the tender parties and the probates of the tender.

If there is a government ruling against the use of certain products that are necessary for the tender to be completed and the outlaw happens after the tender is signed but before it is completed as a consignment then it cannot be done.

This would come under the ambit of an emergency where the governed ruling makes such deals null and void.

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

              Selling Price per unit Variable  cost per unit

Product  

Trunk Switch             $60.00               $28.00

Gas door             $75.00                $33.00

Glove Box            $40.00              $22.00

Answer Trunk 240 units, Gas 240 units and Box 60 units

Explanation:

The break-even point is the activity level where the total revenue of a business  exactly equals its cost. At the break-even point, <em>the total profit made will be zero</em>. This analysis enables a firm to determine ahead the number of units to must be produced, customers that must served in order to cover its fixed costs.

Calculation

A break-even point can be calculated as follows:

For single-product scenario:  

Break-even point (in units)= Total general fixed cost for the period/                (selling price-variable cost )

Multiple-products scenario= Total general fixed cost for the period/Average contribution per unit

Total general fixed costs are period costs which remain unchanged within a given activity level and cannot be traced to be incurred for a particular product.

                                       Trunk           Gas              Box  

                                          $                 $                   $

Selling price                      60              75                   40

Variable cost                    (28)             (33)               (22)

Contribution per unit        32                42                  18

Cont. from a mix (sp×unit) 128              168                   18

Average cont. per mix = (128+168+18)/(4+4+1)= $34.89

Break-even point (in units)=  $18,840/$34.89

                                       = 540 units

Total units to be sold to break even is 540 units. This will be distributed across the three products using the sales mix as follows:

Trunk = 4/9× 540 units= 240 units

Gas = 4/9 × 540 = 240 units

Box = 1/9 *540 = 60 units

Assume Ford Motors expects a new hybrid-engine project to produce incremental cash flows of $50 million each year, and expects t
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A) $560 million

Explanation:

First lets calculate the NPV of the cash stream by this investment,

PV Cash stream = Cash flow/ (r-g), where r = avg cost of capital and g = growth of the cash stream.

PV = 50 / (0.09 - 0.04)  = $1000 million

We assume that external finance issuance costs are payable as a part of initial outlay of the project and so,

Total initial outlay = 420 + 20 = $440 million

NPV of the project then,

NPV = 1000 - 440 = $560 million

Hope that helps.
