Answer:

(a) It will have multiple IRRs

(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%)  .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).

Explanation:

(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.

Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.

In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m  in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)

(b) Please see attached for more details.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Warranty Expense       (Debit)   $3,960

Warranty Liability                                        (Credit) $3,960

Explanation:

The principle we apply while making entries for standard warranty is this:

The <u>estimated amount of warranty expense</u>, <em>which a company founds as a percentage of its sales from historical claims and data</em>, is taken as benchmark to accrue the warranty expense in the period when the sale is made <em>(matching principle) .</em>

<em />

In our question, 4.5% is the estimated warranty expense.

The company then sets off the estimated warranty expense (Debit)

(<em>4.5% * $88,000 = $3,960</em>)

with the warranty liability (Credit) to entertain any claims in future.
