Davis Industries must choose between a gas-powered and an electric-powered forklift truck for moving materials in its factory. B

ecause both forklifts perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered truck will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $21,500, whereas the gas-powered truck will cost $17,960. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 13%. The life for both types of truck is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered truck will be $6,860 per year and those for the gas-powered truck will be $4,600 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses.
Calculate the NPV andIRR for each type of truck, and decide which to recommend.

Answer:

Electric powered truck:

NPV = $5,923.19

IRR = 22.43

Gas powered truck

NPV = $428.73

IRR = 13.85%

The electric powered truck would be chosen because it has the higher NPV and IRR

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

the net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The IRR and NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator;

For the gas powered truck :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-17,960

Cash flow each year from year one to six = $4,600

I = 13%%

NPV = $428.73

IRR = 13.85%

For the electric powered truck:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-21,500

Cash flow each year from year one to six = $6,860

I = 13%%

NPV = $5,923.19

IRR = 22.43

The electric powered truck would be chosen because it has the higher NPV and IRR

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Presented below are definitions of certain terms. Select the appropriate term from the dropdown list. Definitions 1. Quantity of

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

1. Ideal standard

2. Management by exception

3. Standard cost card

4. Standard cost

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.

On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.

1. Ideal standard: quantity of input required if a production process is 100% efficient.

2. Management by exception: Managing by focusing on large differences from standard costs.

3. Standard cost card: record that accumulates standard cost information.

4. Standard cost: preset cost for delivering a product or service under normal conditions.

Jorge Rodrigues annual salary is:

$S=\$48,000$

We know that 1 year consists of 12 months, so the gross wage per month can be obtained by dividing the annual salary by 12:

$\frac{S}{m}=\frac{48,000}{12}=\$4,000$

1 year also contains 52 weeks, so the gross wage per week is obtained by dividing the annual salary by 52:

$\frac{S}{w}=\frac{48,000}{52}=\$923$

Finally, 1 year contains 26 bi-week periods, so the gross wage per bi-week period is:

$\frac{S}{b}=\frac{48,000}{26}=\$1846$

4)

In this part, we know that Lexi's salary per month is:

$s=\$1600$

We know that 1 year consists of 12 months: therefore, the annual salary contains 12 monthly salary, so we can write

$S=ns$

where

n = 12 is the number of months

S is the annual salary

Substituting s, we find:

$S=(12)(1600)=\$19,200$

5)

Here the Monthly salary of Ryo is

$s=\$2200$

So her annual salary is the monthly salary multiplied by 12:

$S=ns=(12)(2200)=\$26,400$

Then Ryo has been offered a raise of $250 per month, so her new salary per month will be

$s'=2200+250=\$2450$

Therefore, her new annual salary will be

$S'=ns'=(12)(2450)=\$29,400$

So, the amount that Ryo will earn more per year is:

$\Delta S=S'-S=29,400-26400=\$3000$

6)

Being paid salary means that we are paid with a fixed regular payment, usually paid every month.

Being paid by hourly rate instead means that we are paid a fixed amount for every hour of work: therefore, the total monthly salary will depend on the number of hours of work.

Therefore, the main advantages/disadvantages are the following:

- Advantage of being paid salary: the payment is fixed, therefore it is independent on the number of hours worked - so even if one month we work less hours, we still receive the same pay

- Disadvantages: the salary is fixed and cannot be increased by working more - in fact, in the hourly payment, by working more hours it is possible to earn more.

In this problem, the amount of the check in the restaurant is

$c=\$340$

The customer decides to leave a 20% tip, which corresponds to $\frac{20}{100}$ of the amount of check.

Therefore, we can write the amount of the tip left as

$t=\frac{20}{100}c$

Simplifying, we get

$t=\frac{1}{5}c$

And by substituting c = 340, we find the tip left:

$t=\frac{1}{5}(340)=\$68$

8)

In this problem, Sandra is paid per day.

Her pay per day is

$d=\$95$

Which means that she is paid 95 dollars per day.

In this month, Sandra has worked for

n = 22 days

Therefore her total earning for this month will be

$T=nd$

and substituting n = 22 and d = 95, we find:

$T=(22)(95)=\$2090$

9)

First of all, we have to find the total number of pieces produced by summing the number of pieces produced each day.

For Zinke, the total number of pieces produced is:

n = 54 + 55 + 59 + 62+ 60 = 290

The price per piece produced is

p = $1.60

Therefore, the gross pay is equal to the number of pieces times the price per piece:

$P=np=(290)(1.60)=\$464$

Then we have to repeat the exercise for Bello. The total number of pieces produced is:

n = 24 + 28 + 30 + 31 + 27 = 140

The price per piece is

p = $2.80

So, the gross pay is:

$P=np=(140)(2.80)=\$392$

10)

Here the fare for the whole drive was

f = $19.30

However, Steve gave the driver a total of 20$. This means that the tip gave by Steve to the driver is

$t=20\$ - 19.30\$ = 0.70\$$

Here we are asked to determine if the tip is adequate, generous or not enough. In order to evaluate this, we have to calculate what is the tip in % with respect to the fare.

It is:

$\frac{t}{f}\cdot 100 = \frac{0.70}{19.30}\cdot 100 =3.6\%$

The tip is 3.6% of the fare: therefore, the tip is not enough (an adequate tip can be considered between 10 and 20 %).

What is market power?

Sedbober [7]

I would say the correct answer is B. t<span>he ability of a company to change prices and output like a monopolist. Market power is basically the power of a particular company to manipulate the price of the product and thus affect all other participants, as well as customers. Monopolists have the greatest market power; conversely, in an ideally balanced economy, nobody would have market power. All participants would have equal chances and nobody would dictate the terms to others.</span>
