Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Units Started into the production = 14,000 Units

Ending work in process = 2,000 units

Transferred Units = Units in the starting - Ending work in process

= 14,000 units - 2,000 Units

= 12,000 Units

Equivalent units = Transferred units + Ending work in process in units × % of Completion

= 12,000 Units + 2,000 Units × 25% complete

= 12,000 + 2,000 × 0.25

= 12,000 units + 500 units

= 12,500 units

Total Conversion cost = $52,500

$Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{Total\ Conversion\ cost}{Equivalent\ Units}$

$Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{52,500}{12,500}$

= $4.2

A firm is reviewing an investment opportunity that requires an initial cash outlay of $336,875 and promises to return the follow

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The NPV of this investment is $64,581.75

Explanation:

Hi, we need to discount to present value all the future cash flows, the formula to use is as follows:

$NPV=-Investment+\frac{CF1}{(1+r)^{1} }+\frac{CF2}{(1+r)^{2}} +\frac{CF3}{(1+r)^{3}} +\frac{CF4}{(1+r)^{4}} +\frac{CF5}{(1+r)^{5}}$

Where

NPV = Net Present Value

CF = The cash flow stated in the problem by year

r= discount rate (in our case, 0.08 or 8%)

Now, let´s solve this.

$NPV=-336,875+\frac{100,000}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+\frac{82,000}{(1+0.08)^{2}} +\frac{76,000}{(1+0.08)^{3}} +\frac{111,000}{(1+0.08)^{4}} +\frac{142,000}{(1+0.08)^{5}}$

$NPV=-336,875+ 92,592.59 + 70,301.78 + 60,331.25 + 81,588.31+96,642.81$

$NPV=64,581.75$

So, the net present value of this project is $64,581.75

Best of luck.

. A firm begins the year with a Book Value of $10 million. During the year it generates $5 million in net profits. It paid $1 mi

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b) $12 million

Explanation:

The new Book Value of the firm at the bigining of next year is $12 million.

In the calulation of Net Pfofit, Interst on loan has already been deducted, so deducting it from the total calculation will be wrong.

hence, only dividend paid will be removed from the addition of the Book Value anf the Net profit.

Closing balance = Opening Book Value + Net Profit - Dividend Paid

Note - The Net Profit is already ne of interest on loan.

Closing balance = $10 + $5 - $3

Closing balance is $12

Consider a corrupt provincial government in which each housing inspector examines two newly built structures each week. All the

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
