Preston Industries has two separate divisions. Each division is in a separate line of business. Division A is the largest divisi

on and represents 70 percent of the firm's overall sales. Division A is also the riskier of the two divisions. Division B is the smaller and least risky of the two. When management is deciding which of the various divisional projects should be accepted, the managers should:
A. allocate more funds to Division A since it is the largest of the two divisions.
B. fund all of Division B's projects first since they tend to be less risky and then allocate the remaining funds to the Division A projects that have the highest net present values.
C. allocate the company's funds to the projects with the highest net present values based on the firm's weighted average cost of capital.
D. assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.
E. fund the highest net present value projects from each division based on an allocation of 70 percent of the funds to Division A and 30 percent of the funds to Division B.

Answer:

D. assign appropriate, but differing, discount rates to each project and then select the projects with the highest net present values.

Explanation:

Even though Division A is the largest and produce the highest amount of sales, it will not be selected based on this factor but its net present value(NPV). This will determine if the sales actually can fully recover the initial investment amount and yield a profit. Therefore, since Division A and B have different levels of risk, it will be appropriate to find their NPVs using different discount rates and accept the one with the highest NPV.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. smart technology.

ExplanTation:

Smart technology, today it is sold in any type of electronic device, as well as a telephone, a computer, a TV, cooking utensils and household appliances in general.

This concept of intelligent technology, is justified mainly for the purpose of offering different electronic prototypes, a logical programming that reacts to stimuli that are attributed to its sensors. Something very similar to what occurs with a new brain that, in addition to receiving specific instigations, proceeds in an immediate way to generate the corresponding chords to the dictated call.

In this order of ideas, the electronic devices are endowed with sufficient capacity to understand messages such as, in the case of the cell phone or the television, the presence and use of this device by a person, as it proceeds to lower its performance by optimizing the energy that requires its operation.

OLga [1]

Answer:

a)

1. Explicit cost

2. Implicit Cost

3. Implicit Cost

4. Explicit cost

b)

Accounting Profit is $62000.

Economic Profit is -$3000. (a loss of $3000)

Explanation:

a)

Explicit costs are those costs incurred by a business that require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business.

Implicit costs, on the other hand, are the costs that do not require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business. They are instead the opportunity costs of operating a business or the benefits that are foregone.

1. The wages and utility bills are a result of operating a business and requires and outlay of money as their payment. They are <u>explicit costs.</u>

2. The rental income could have been earned if Larry rented the showroom he is using to operate his business from. The rent foregone is an opportunity cost and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>

3. The salary Larry could have earned is also something that Brian has to forego to operate his business and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>

<u />

4. The cost of purchases paid to manufacturer requires outlay of money and is an <u>explicit cost.</u>

<u />

b)

Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total explicit cost

Economic profit =  Total revenue - (Total Explicit Cost + Total Implicit Cost)

Accounting Profit = 793000 - 430000 - 301000 = $62000 profit

Economic profit = 793000 - (430000 + 301000 + 15000 + 50000) = -$3000 loss
