We shall Ignore cost of sugar cane at $0.36 per pound, as its going to be incurred for both processes.

Lets find the cash flow from not processing further:

42500 pounds Sugar @ $1.43 per Pound $60,775

Lets find the cash flow from Processing Further:

If 42500 pounds of raw sugar are processed further, we get 34000 pounds of refined sugar(42500/1.25)

34000 pounds of refined [email protected] $2.23 per pound $75280

Additional Processing charges for 42500 [email protected]$0.49 ($20825)

Total Cash Flow $54995

As can be observed, the organisation earns more when they sell raw sugar, Thus sugar should not be processed further.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

The discount rate is the cost of capital that is applied to determine the current value of a future payment.

The discount rate is used to "discount" future money. It is widely used when evaluating investment projects. It tells us how much money is worth now from a future date.

The discount rate is the inverse of the interest rate, which serves to increase the value (or add interest) in the present money. The discount rate, on the other hand, detracts from the future money when it is transferred to the present, except if the discount rate is negative, in case it will mean that the future money is worth more than the current one. The interest rate is used to obtain the increase to an original amount, while the discount rate is subtracted from an expected amount to obtain an amount in the present.

Except in exceptional cases, the discount rate is positive because before the promise of receiving money in the future we have the uncertainty of whether we will receive it or not, since there may be a problem that prevents us from receiving that money. Therefore, the farther the money we are going to receive, the less it will be worth now.

s2008m [1.1K]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

The following formula is used in order to calculate the days sales outstanding:

Days sales out standing = ( Accounts receivable divided by Sales )  multiply with 365

= $1.5 million divided by $12 million multiply with 365

After calculating we get, 45.625 days

<u>In order to calculate the capital released, the following formula is used: </u>

Capital released $=$ Sales $*$ (DSO - Credit period) $/ 365$

=\$ 12 \text { million } *(45.625-30) / 365

= 513699

Therefore, the capital released is $513699

victus00 [196]
