Answer:

A. NPV for A= $61,658.06

NPV  for B = $25,006.15

B.  1.36

1.17

Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator

for project A :

Cash flow in

Year 0 = $(172,325)

Year 1 41,000

Year 2 47,000

Year 3 85,295

Year 4 86,400

Year 5 56,000

I = 10%

NPV = $61,658.06

for project B

year 0 = $ (145,960)

Cash flow in

Year 1  27,000

Year 2  52,000

Year 3 50,000  

Year 4 71,000

Year 5  28,000

I = 10%

NPV = $25,006.15

profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment

for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36

For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17

The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

A company bases its predetermined overhead rate on direct labor cost. For next year, total factory overhead cost is estimated at
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $18,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated total factory overhead= $300,000

Total estimated direct labor cost= $240,000.

The actual direct labor cost was $15,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate based on direct labor cost. Then, we can allocate overhead.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/240,000= $1.25 per direct labor dollar

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.25*15,000

Allocated MOH= $18,750

In which situation would a certificate of deposit (CD) be the best banking choice
anzhelika [568]

A certificate of deposit (CD) would be the best banking choice when the interest rate is determined ahead of time and there is an assurance to get back what you put in plus interest once the CD matures.  If you leave the money alone during the investment period then the bank will pay you an interest rate slightly higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. Thus, all gains from certificate of deposits are taxable as income unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) r tax-free (Roth IRA) account.

liq [111]

Answer:

a. $11

b. $35

c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Explanation:

The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.

When there is excess capacity.

Note : No opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11

When there is excess capacity.

Note : Opportunity costs would exist.

Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost

                                            = $11 + ($35 - $11 )

                                            = $35

Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.

If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
