FrozenT [24]

Answer: No

Explanation:

When computing a project analysis for a project, only relevant cash flow should be included in the Project's cash flow analysis. Relevant cash-flow are those that will only occur if the project was embarked on.

If the cash flow in question is still going to occur even if the project wasn't initiated as is the case with Project A, it is not a relevant cash-flow and should not be included in the cash-flow analysis.

a method that business operators can use to maintain a good customer base is to? A respond to customer B ignore customer feedbac

aksik [14]

Answer:

A respond to customer

Explanation:

Responding to customers is a good customer care practice. As business competition increases, the need for excellent customer care increases. Offering quality and prompt services creates loyalty among the customers. A loyal customer is not likely to purchase from competitors.

When customers feel and believe they are offered excellent services, they will recommend the business to other customers. In due course, the business will have a circle of many loyal customers. Ignoring a customer or over-pricing of goods will make existing and potential customers look for alternatives.

You are interested in valuing a 2-year semi-annual corporate coupon bond using spot rates but there are no liquid strips availab

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Assume that $r_1$ will be a 12-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25 \% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 0.625 +100)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 100.625)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\$

$\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 -98 = \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to -97.38125= \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= \frac{402.5}{ -97.38125}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= -4.13\\\\ \to r_1=3.304\%$

Assume that $r_2$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+\frac{(1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to \frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to \frac{1.5}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{2}\times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 0.7425+0.75 \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(0.75 +100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1+0.0165)^2}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4925 \times \frac{1}{(1.033)}+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\$

$\to 1.4925 \times 0.96+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328+\frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to 1.4328-97= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to -95.5672= \frac{(100.75 )}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}\\\\\to (1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3= -1.054\\\\\to r_2=3.577\%$

Assume that $r_3$ will be a 18-month for the spot rate:

$\to 1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+1.25\%\times\frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+\frac{3.577\%}{2})^3}+(1.25\% \times \frac{\frac{100}{2}+100}{(1+\frac{r_3}{2})^4})=96\\\\$

to solve this we get $r_3=3.335\%$

lianna [129]

Answer:

35,972

Explanation:

The equivalent annual cost can be calculated dividing NPV by the annuity factor

In order to find NPV first

Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Total

Operating and

Maintenance 18000 21000 24000 27000 30000 -

Discount factor(10%) 0.909 0.826 0.751 0.683 0.620 -

Discounted CFs 16362 17346 18024 18411 18600 88,713

Salvage 12000

Discount factor(10%) 0.620

Discounted salvage 7440 (7440)

Inital Cost (55,000) (55,000)

NPV 136,333

Calculation for EAC

NPV = 136,333

Annuity factor for 5 years = 3.790

Equivalent annual cost = NPV /Annuity factor

Equivalent annual cost = 136,333/3.790

Equivalent annual cost = 35,972

(c) Which of the following statements are true? (You may select more than one answer. Single click the box with the question mar

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing

True Statements:

1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.

2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.

Explanation:

Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs. In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders. Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.

Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product. It is the markup on the cost of the product. It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost. Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.
