Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a. <u>GDP using product approach</u>

There are no intermediate goods inputs. Corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and each bushel of corn worth is $5.

GDP = 30 million * $5

GDP = $150 million

<u>GDP using expenditure approach</u>

i) Consumers buy 20 million bushels of corn

Consumption = 20 million * 5

Consumption (C) = $100 million

ii) Corn producer adds 5 million bushels to inventory

Investment = 5 million * $5

Investment (I) = $25 million

iii) Government buys 5 million bushels of corn  

Government spending = 5 million * $5

Government spending (G) = $25 million

GDP = C + I + G

GDP = $100 + $25 + $25  

GDP = $150 million

<u>GDP using income approach</u>

Profit income = $150 million - $60 million - $20 million

Profit income = $70 million

Government income = Taxes paid by the corn producer = $20 million

GDP = $60 million + $70 million + $20 million

GDP = $150 million

b. Private disposable income = GDP + Net factor payments + Government transfers + Interest on the government debt - Total taxes

Private disposable income = $150 million + 0 + $5 million + $10 million - $30 million

Private disposable income = $135 million

 

Private savings = Private disposable income - Consumption

Private savings = $135 million - $100 million

Private savings = $35 million

Government savings = Government tax income - Transfer payments - Interest on the government debt - Government spending

Government savings = $30 million - $5 million - $10 million - $5 million

Government savings = $10 million

National savings = Private savings + Government savings

National savings = $35 million + $10 million

National savings = $45 million

Government budget surplus = Government savings = $10 million

Government deficit = (-) $10 million

Pop Consulting leased machinery to Red Inc. on July 1, 2018. The lease was recorded as a sales type lease. The present value of
labwork [276]

Answer:

The increase in earnings is $136511.56

Explanation:

Since the lease is a sale type of lease,it means that as soon as the machinery is delivered to the lessee,profit should be recognized on the lease transaction,which is computed below:

Profit on lease=present value of lease payments-costs

                         =$274149-$156000

                          =$118149

However,every six months interest is charged on the lease,which clearly indicates another source of earnings,the interest in the first six months is given below:

Interest=($274149-$44617)*8%

             =$18362.56

Please note that interest is charged after lease payment as lease payment is made in advance not in arrears.

Conclusively, the increase in earnings is $118149+$18362.56

That is $136511.56
