Answer:

The manager should pick project B

Explanation:

To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.

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

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

NPV for project A

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-335,000

year 1 = $140,000

year 2 = $150,000

year 3 = $100,000

I = 6%

NPV= $14,536.87

NPV for project B

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-365,000

year 1 = $220,000

year 2 = $110,000

year 3 = $150,000

I = 6%

NPV= $66,389.67

Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.

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

I hope my answer helps you

Trevor Company expects sales of Product W to be 60,000 units in April, 75,000 units in May, and 70,000 units in June. The compan
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

65000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Expected sales of product W in April  = 60000 units

Expected sales of product W in May  = 75000 units

Expected sales of product W in June  = 70000 units

Inventory in hand at the end of each month = 40% of the next month's expected sale

Inventory expected at the end of the April = 40% of the expected sales in May

or

Inventory expected at the end of the April = 0.4 × 75000 = 30000 units

Therefore, the total units required in April =  Expected sales of product W in April + Inventory expected at the end of the April

or

the total units required in April = 60000 + 30000 = 90000 units

Now,

Excessive production in March (inventory) = 25000 units

Hence, the units required to be produced in April = the total units required in April - Excessive production in March (inventory)

or

the units required to be produced in April = 90000 - 25000 = 65000 units
