Brewster’s is considering a project with a 5-year life and an initial cost of $120,000. The discount rate for the project is 12

percent. The firm expects to sell 2,100 units a year at a net cash flow per unit of $20. The firm will have the option to abandon this project after three years at which time it could sell the project for $50,000. The firm is interested in knowing how the project will perform if the sales forecasts for Years 4 and 5 of the project are revised such that there is a 50 percent chance the sales will be either 1,400 or 2,500 units a year. What is the net present value of this project given these revised sales forecasts

Answer:

NPV = $27,792

Explanation:

Net Present Value = Present Value of Future Cash Flows - Initial Investments

To compute the Present value of Future Cash Flows, we need to first compute the cash inflows during the life of the project:

Year 1: 2,100 * 20 = $42,000

Year 2: 2,100 * 20 = $42,000

Year 3: 2,100 * 20 = $42,000

The units of Year 4 and Year 5 are calculated as follows:

⇒ (0.5 * 1,400) + (0.5 * 2,500) = 1,950 units

Year 4: 1,950 * 20 = $39,000

Year 5: 1,950 * 20 = $39.000

Now, discount the cash inflows at a rate of 12% to calculate the Present Value of Future Cash Flows

⇒ <u>42,000 </u>+ <u>42,000</u>+ <u>42,000</u> + <u>39,000</u> + <u>39,000</u>

     (1.12)^1      (1.12)^2   (1.12)^3    (1.12)^4      (1.12)^5

⇒  37,500 + 33,482 + 29,895 + 24,785 + 22,130  

⇒ $147,792

Net Present Value = Present Value of Future Cash Flows - Initial Investments

NPV = 147,792 - 120,000

NPV = $27,792

Book value on purchase                    $5,100,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation       $4,218,720

(5,100,000*(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152) <u>                     </u>

Book value on sales                            <u>$881,280</u>

<u />

Salvage value of paint   $1,600,000

Book value of as set      <u>$881,280   </u>

Gain on disposal            <u>$718,720</u>

Tax on gain on disposal = $718,720 * 21% = $150,931.20

After tax cash flow = $1,600,000 - $150,931.20

After tax cash flow = $1,449,068.80

L. Bowers and V. Lipscomb are partners in Elegant Event Consultants. Bowers and Lipscomb share income equally. M. Ortiz will be
Mama L [17]

Answer: See attachment and explanation

Explanation:

1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $20000

= $92000 + $36000 + $20000

= $148000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $148000 × 20%

= $29600

There'll be a deficiency in the profit which the existing partner contributes to and this will be:

= $29600 - $20000

= $9600

Then each partner shares =$9600/2 = $4800

2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $60000

= $92000 + $36000 + $60000

= $188000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $188000 × 30%

= $56400

Since the share is less than the amount of $60000 bought in, the existing partner will be compensated in the amount of ($60000 - $56400) = $3600. Therefore each partner gets $3600/2 = $1800

Imagine you are a consultant who has been asked to summarize the strengths and weaknesses of Agoria, a nation with a pure market
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Two weaknesses as consultant can be identify: The economy experiences economic fluctuations, and people with no resources to sell could starve

Explanation:

In a pure market economy, the allocation of resources is based on purely the dynamics between supply and demand. If our economy is closed (there is no imports nor exports) and there is not different actors (such as government) and all trade goods are perfect (they are not public or semi-public goods), then the market will efficiently allocate all the resources. Nevertheless, this is not the case, and with an open economy and the existence of imperfections, any external impact will cause economic fluctuations, and those workers with no demandable offer will not be hired, and potentially will be out of the market.
