Answer:

Profitability index for Project 1 is 3.17

Profitability index for Project 2 is 1.75

The company should prefer project 1 based on the profitability index.

Explanation:

We calculate the profitability index by dividing the present value of future cash flows  by the initial investment. So the profitability index for project 1 will be its future cash flows divided by the initial investment.

1,300,000/410,000=3

Profitability index for Project 1 is 3.17

We will do the same to calculate the profitability index for Project 2

7,000,000/4,000,000=1.75

Profitability index for Project 2 is 1.75

The financial statements for Castile Products, Inc., are given below: Castile Products, Inc. Balance Sheet December 31 Assets Cu
Delicious77 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1.

Working capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities

= $569,000 - $280,000

= $289,000

2.

Current ratio  = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability

= $569,000 ÷ $280,000

= 2.03

3.

Acid-test (quick) ratio  = {(Current Asset - Inventory - prepaid expense) ÷ Current Liabilities }

= {{$569,000- $320,000 - $8,000) ÷ ($280,000)}

= 0.86 times

4.

Debt-Equity ratio   = Total Liability ÷ Shareholders' Equity

= $670,000 ÷ $759,000

= 0.88 times

5.

Times interest earned   = EBIT ÷ Interest Charges

= ($1,224,000 + $35,100) ÷ ($35,100)

= 35.87 times

6.

Average collection period

= 365 ÷ ($3,010,00 ÷ $215,000)

= 26 days

The $215,000 comes from

= ($210,000 + $220,000) ÷ 2

= $215,000

7. The average sales period is

= 365 ÷ ($1,110,000 ÷ $300,000)

= 99 days

The $300,000 comes from

= ($280,000 + $320,000) ÷ 2

= $300,000

8. The operating cycle is

= 99 days - 26 days

= 73 days

The Blanket Company (TBC) manufactures two types of blankets. One is made of nylon. The other is made of wool. The budgeted per-
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

contribution margin of nylon blankets = $64

contribution margin of wool blankets = $120

annual fixed costs = $743,000

sales mix = 75% nylon blankets, 25% wool blankets

weighted contribution margin = ($64 x 75%) + ($120 x 25%) = $78

if TBC wants ot make $115,000 in profits it must sell:

= ($743,000 + $115,000) / $78 = 11,000 units

TBC must sell 2,750 wool blankets and 8,250 nylon blankets.

Assume there are two countries: South Korea and the United States. South Korea grows at 4% and the United States grows at 1%. Fo
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The US income will be $12,201 and South Korea's income will be $21,911. US income will grow by multiple of 1.2 while South Korea's GDP will grow by multiples of 2.19.

Explanation:

Initial income of both the countries is $10,000.

Growth rate of South Korea is 4%.

Growth rate of US is 1%.

In 20 years, South Korea's income will be,

=Initial income*(1+growth rate)^{n}

=$10,000*(1+0.04)^{20}

=$10,000*2.1911

=$21,911

Similarly, we can find US income.

=Initial income*(1+growth rate)^{n}

=$10,000*(1+0.01)^{20}

=$10,000*1.2201

=$12,201

So, South Korea's income is $21,911 while US's income is $12,201.

South Korea's income grows by the multiples of 2.1911. While, US's income grows by the multiples of 1.2201

The Sisyphean Company is considering a new project that will have an annual depreciation expense of $3.6 million. If Sisyphean's
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$1,260,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual depreciation expense = $3.6 million

Marginal corporate tax rate = 35%

Average corporate tax rate = 30%

The reason to use marginal tax shield is that the firm would save additional amount it would have paid in taxes.

Value of the depreciation tax shield:

= Marginal corporate tax rate × Annual depreciation expense

= 35% × $3,600,000

= $1,260,000

Therefore, the value of the depreciation tax shield on the company's new project is $1,260,000.

This is your chance to calculate demand elasticities for health care. Suppose you are collecting data from a country (like Japan
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Arc price elasticity of demand = -0.273

Explanation:

This problem is solved as follows:

1. Identify the data.

                   Outpatient visit       Price / visit

Tokyo           1.25 / month                  20y

Hokkaido      1.5 / month                   10y

Outpatient visits equal the quantities demanded of the service. Therefore, we can say that:

Qt (Outpatient visits in Tokyo) = 1.25 / month

Qh (Outpatient visits in Hokkaido) = 1.5 month.

With the following prices:

Pt (Price in Tokyo) = 20y

Ph (Price in Hokkaido) = 10 y

2. Apply the formula to calculate arc-elasticity of demand:

Ep^{arc} = \frac{Pt+Ph}{Qt+Qh} *\frac{Qh-Qt}{Ph-Pt}

We replace the data:

Ep^{arc} = \frac{20+10}{1.25+1.5} *\frac{1.5-1.25}{10-20}

Ep^{arc}= \frac{30}{2.75} *\frac{0.25}{-10} = 10.91 *-0.025

Ep^{arc} = -0.27275

Final answer: -0.27275 or -0.273
