Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.

Unit Selling Price     Unit Variable Costs    Unit Contribution  Margin Contribution Margin Ratio

1. $570 $420    

Unit Contribution  Margin= Unit Sales Price Less  Unit Variable Price =

$ 570- $ 450 = $150 (a)

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/ Sales = 150/570* 100= 26 % (b)

2. $490      $490 -$130= $360 (c) $130        ($ 130/ $490)* 100= 27 % (d)

3. $23000 (e) $22540 (f) $460 2

Unit Contribution  Margin $460

Contribution Margin Ratio  2

Contribution Margin Ratio= Unit Contribution  Margin/Sales=  $460/ Sales  =2 %

$460/ Sales  =2 %

Sales = $ 460/2%= $ 23000

Sales - Unit Contribution  Margin = $ 460

Unit Contribution  Margin= Sales- $460 = $ 23000- $ 460= $ 22540

There are only three stocks in the economy. Stock A has 20 shares outstanding and a price per share of $10. Stock B has 15 share
gregori [183]

Answer:

Market value of stock A = 20 shares x $10 = $200

Market value of stock B = 15 shares x $3   = $45

Market value of stock C = 10 shares x $5   = $50

Total market value                                          $295

Amount to invest in stock A

= $200/$295 x $5,000

= $3,389.83

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the market value of each stock by multiplying the number of each stock by their corresponding market prices.

Thereafter, we will divide the market value of stock A by the total market value multiplied by amount available for investment ($5,000).
