Answer:

b. project A; because its NPV is about $4,900 more than the NPV of project B

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Mutually exclusive projects are those projects where only one project is selected for investment after analysis. NPV is the most preferred method in the evaluation of mutually exclusive projects for capital budgeting. That project is accepted which has higher positive NPV.

Net present value of Project A =$13,157.24

Net present value of Project A =$8,256.98

Difference = $13,157.24 - $8,256.98 = $4,900.26

Net Present value working is made in MS Excel File which is attached with this answer, please find it.

Explanation:

The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-

Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish    $5.60

Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337     0.85

($3.40 ×  1 ÷ 4)

Incremental revenue from

further processing                                        $4.75

($5.60 - 0.85)

Incremental costs of further processing:

Processing costs                      $2.40

Selling costs                              $0.40          $2.80

Incremental contribution

margin from further

processing into silver polish

per jar                                                            $1.95

($4.75 - $2.80)

Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.

Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution

= $8,800 ÷ $1.95

= 4,513 approx.
