Product Y = 3.25 years
b. Product Y
Explanation:
The cash flows for the two products as well as the balance at the end of each year is given as follows:
For both products, the payback period is reached between the third and fourth year.
Product X:
Product Y:
Under the payback method, the alternative that presents the shortest payback period should be selected. Therefore, Product Y should be selected.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
1. Embargoes and sanctions
When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.
2. Tariffs
This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.
3. Import Quota
Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.
4. Tariff.
This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.
5. Import Quota.
This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.
6. Embargoes and Sanctions.
This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.
Answer:
Degree of Operating Leverage = 1.34
The Operating cash flow increases by 12%
The new operating cash flow is $290200
Explanation:
% change in Operating Cash Flow = Degree of Operating Leverage * % change in sales
There is need to calculate Degree of operating leverage first. Degree of operating leverage = Contribution / EBIT
Where Contribution = OCF + Fixed costs / OCF
Fixed costs= Total costs - variable costs = 300000 - 215000
Fixed Cost= 85000
Degree of operating leverage = (250000 + 85000) / 250000
DOL= 1.34
% change in OCF = DOL * % change in sales
% change in sales = (56000 - 50000) / 50000 = 12%
% change in OCF = 1.34 * 12% = 16.08%
New OCF = 250000 * (1+16.08%)
=$250000 * (1 + 0.1608)
=$250000(1.1608)
= $290200
