<span> <span>True. Risk in investment can be defined as the possibility that the investor may lose a big portion or all of the initial investment or make very high returns in a short period. Risk which is often likened to volatility dictates that the higher the volatility the higher the chances of returns. Speculative investments such as leveraged ETFs(commodities such as gold, oil, silver), options, venture capital trusts are considered high risk and often so offer handsome returns or cost the investor all or even more of their initial capital. It is however important to note that high risk does not automatically translate into high returns. The intrinsic value of the investment vehicle among other factors need to be considered in depth to determine if the investment is worth the risk</span></span>

Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc., projected sales of 54,500 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 6,860 unit
MrRa [10]

Answer:

55,060 machines

Explanation:

Projected sales = 54,500

Estimated opening balance = 6,860

Desired ending balance = 7,420

Budgeted production = ?

Let the budgeted production be B

Using the formula

Opening balance + Budgeted production - Sales = Closing balance

6,860 + B - 54,500 = 7,420

B = 7,420 + 54,500 - 6,860

B = 55,060

The budgeted production for the year is 55,060 machines.

A mining company is considering a new project. Because the mine has received a permit, the project would be legal; but it would
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

With mitigation: NPV =$36,670,000, IRR= 15,24%

Without mitigation: NPV= $ 42,000,000, IRR= 19,86%

Explanation:

To calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) we have to sum the present value of a project´s cash flows (positive and negative cashflows). To do so, we need: the number of periods of the project, the discount rate, cost of captal  or WACC, and the future values of the cash flows. Then we apply the formula attached.

To calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) we have to find the discount rate, cost of capital or WACC that makes the NPV equal to cero. That means we have to find a rate in which the investor do not create or destroy value, only recovers the investment. I attached the formula.

But, this is better if we use excel:

First we copy the cash flows of the two projects. To find the NPV we use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(rate;cash flows from year 1 to year 5)+ cash flow of year 0"

To find the IRR we use the financial formula "IRR" in this way:

"=IRR(cash flows from year 0 to year 5)"

I attached the excel figure.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Production in July = 230 units

Hours of direct labor  = 1.5 hours per unit

Direct Labor rate = $12.40 per hour

Indirect labor rate = $19.40 per hour.

Find:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July

Computation:

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (Production in July)( Hours of direct labor)( Direct Labor rate)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = (230)(1.5)(12.4)

Budgeted direct labor cost for July = $4,278

Answer:

$6,450

Explanation:

The general ledger of a cash account is presented below:

                                            Cash Account

Date     Particulars           Amount        Date     Particulars           Amount

April 1    Beginning                                 April 16  Rent expense     $460

             Balance               $3,850

April 3  Service                                      April  20   Salaries and

            Revenue              $3,400                         Wages expense $340

                                                               April 30  Ending balance   $6,450

The ending  balance would be

= Beginning balance + service revenue - rent expense - salaries and wages expense

= $3,850 + $3,400 - $460 - $340

= $6,450
