Answer:
ROI = net profit / total investment
1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division
- ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 = 15.06%
2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?
- ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) = 14.36%
If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.
3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?
- Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.
The Layout would be the answer to this question
Answer:
The firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.
Explanation:
Given information:
Return = $15000 annually
Time = 5 years
Opportunity cost = 18%
The formula for payment is
where, R is return, OC is opportunity cost, t is time in years.
Substitute R=15000, t=5 and OC=0.18 in the above formula.
Therefore the firm should pay $46907.57 for the given project.
Answer:
c. increasing; $62.5
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75
= 1 ÷ 0.25
= 4
Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP
So, the government spending would be increased by
= $250 billion ÷ 4
= $62.5
Hence, the correct option is c.
