Hunt Inc. intends to invest in one of two competing types of computer-aided manufacturing equipment: CAM X and CAM Y. Both CAM X

and CAM Y models have a project life of 10 years. The purchase price of the CAM X model is $3,600,000, and it has a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $900,000. The CAM Y model is more expensive, selling for $4,200,000, but it will produce a net annual after-tax cash inflow of $1,050,000. The cost of capital for the company is 10%.

Answer:

NPV of CAM X = $1,930,110.40

NPV of CAM Y = $2,251,795.46

Explanation:

The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following steps:

<u>Step 1: Calculation of present value (PV) for each project</u>

The PV for each project can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of a project = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

<u>For CAM X</u>

P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $900,000

r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of project life = 10

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of CAM X = $900,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]

PV of CAM X = $900,000 * 6.14456710570468

PV of CAM X = $5,530,110.40

<u>For CAM Y</u>

P = Net annual after-tax cash inflow = $1,050,000

r = Cost of capital or interest rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of project life = 10

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.10)]^10} / 0.10]

PV of CAM Y = $1,050,000 * 6.14456710570468

PV of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46

<u>Step 2: Calculation of net present value (NPV) for each project</u>

The NPV for each project can be calculated using the following formula:

NPV of each project = PV of each equipment - Purchase price of each equipment ........ (2)

Using equation (2), we have:

NPV of CAM X =  PV of CAM X - Purchase price of CAM X = $5,530,110.40 - $3,600,000 = $1,930,110.40

NPV of CAM Y = PV of CAM Y - Purchase price of CAM Y = $6,451,795.46 - $4,200,000 = $2,251,795.46

Additional Note:

Although this not part of the requirement of the question, but note that the final decision is that since the positive NPV of $2,251,795.46 for CAM Y is gereater than the positive NPV of $1,930,110.40 for CAM X, Hunt Inc. will choose to invest in CAM Y.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

A. the iso-quant line is tangent to the iso-cost line.

Explanation:

Cost minimization refers to the decrease in level of cost of production for certain specified level of production.

Vaughn Corporation had 303,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Vaughn issued 31,200 shares.
Helga [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the  weighted-average number of shares outstanding  in each cases is as follows:

a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 20,800

= 323,800 shares

b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 29,700

= 332,700 shares
