Answer:

NPV Project A = - $825.31

NPV Project B = $6119.89

So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.

NPV Project A = - $6804

Npv Project B = - $3764.48

So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

Explanation:

One of the methods to evaluate a project is to determine the NPV or Net Present Value from the project. If a project provides a positive NPV after discounting the cash flows from the project at a set discount rate, the project should be accepted. If the project gives a negative NPV, the project should be discarded.

The NPV is calculated as follows,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial cost

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in year 1 and year 2 and so on
  • r is the discount rate

<u>At 8.5% discount rate</u>

NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.085)  +  31000/(1+0.085)^2  +  31000/(1+0.085)^3 - 80000

NPV Project A = - $825.31

NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.085)^3  -  80000

NPV Project B = $6119.89

So, at a discount rate of 8.5%, Project B should be accepted.

<u>At 13% discount rate</u>

NPV Project A = 31000/(1+0.13)  +  31000/(1+0.13)^2  +  31000/(1+0.13)^3 - 80000

NPV Project A = - $6804

NPV Project B = 110000 / (1+0.13)^3  -  80000

Npv Project B = - $3764.48

So, at a discount rate of 13%, neither of the projects should be accepted.

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

<em>See attachment </em>

<u><em>Part e</em></u>

Margin of safety in dollars  =    $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage  =  33.3 %

<em><u>Part f</u></em>

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

<u>Income Statement :</u>

<em>Sales - Expenses = Income</em>

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

<u>Contribution Margin ratio :</u>

<em>Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales</em>

                                          =  $1,728,000  ÷  $2,880,000

                                          = 0.6 or 60 %

<u>Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :</u>

<em>Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit</em>

                                        = $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

                                        = 8,000

<em>Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio</em>

                                            = $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

                                            = $1,920,000

<u>Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :</u>

<u />

<em>Margin of safety in dollars  = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)</em>

                                             =  $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

                                             =   $960,000

<em>Margin of safety in %       = (Expected Sales  - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales</em>

                                             = $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

                                             = 33.3 %

<u>Operating leverage</u>

<em>Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax</em>

                                  =  $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

                                  = 3.00
