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.

masha68 [24]

Answer: Fundamental attributional error.

Explanation:

Frank is making a fundamental attributional error when judging the cause of Anna's inability to meet sales target. Frank is blaming her failure based on her character rather than on the real reason which is the attractive sales offer of their competitors. Fundamental attributional error is an error which arises from judging a person's action based on their character without considering other possible external causes.

A fire destroyed a warehouse of the Goren Group, Inc., on May 4, 2021. Accounting records on that date indicated the following:
andrew-mc [135]

Cost of inventory destroyed in fire is $1,140,000

<u>Explanation:</u>

The loss from fire to inventory can be calculated by finding the cost of the inventory on the may 4 , 2021.

Cost of sales = Sales – profit on sales

= 9000000-1800000

=$7200000

The value of inventory on the may 4 = opening inventory on January 1 + purchases + freight in – cost of sales

=1980000+5880000+480000-7200000

=$1,140,000

Cost of sales is referred to the amount that is incurred in producing the goods. Cost of sales is included in the sale price of the product to earn a profit beyond the cost. So sales includes cost and profit which can be used to find the cost of sales.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.      

Explanation:

Total Overhead Cost:

= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products

= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)

= 31,800

Total Machine Hours:

= Machine hours × Number of cases

= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)

= 6,000

Overhead Rate:

= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours

= 31,800 ÷ 6,000

= 5.30

Total product cost per case for Product GC:

= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead

= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)

= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)

= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90

= $125.90
