Answer:

Balance the relationship between business and society.

Explanation:

Government regulates both society and business.

The government regulates businesses to ensure that the activities of businesses are in the best interest of the society. This is why they regulate monopolies, tax companies that create negative externalities and subsidise the activities of companies that provide positive externality.

Government also has to look out for businesses by ensuring that the amenities and facilities needed for smooth running of business activities are in place. This is why a government may regulate import activities through quotas or tariffs.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The correct answer is $112,000

Explanation:

First of all, let us lay out the information given:

Direct materials = $170,000

Direct Labor = $230,000

Manufacturing overhead = $160,000

Cost of production = Direct material + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead = 170,000 + 230,000 + 160,000 = $560,000

Number of units produced = 5000 units

Number of units sold = 4000 units

Number of units left on hand = 5000 - 4000 = 1000 units (units produced - units sold)

Next, we will calculate the cost of production of a single unit of finished product as follows:

5000 units = $560,000

∴ 1 unit = 560,000 ÷ 5000 = 112

Finally, since the number of unit on hand is 1,000 units, we will find the cost of unit on hand as follows

1 unit = $112

∴ 1000 unit = 112 × 1000 = $112,000

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a. 4.92 years

b. NPV = $26,770.20

c. 1.0837

d. IRR = 12.26%

e. 15.6%

the project should be accepted

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow = $320,000 / $65,000 = 4.92 years

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

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-320,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $65,000

I = 10%

NPV = $26,770.20

IRR = 12.26%

profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment) = 1 + ($26,770.20 / $320,000 ) = 1.0837

The project should be accepted because the NPV and profitability index are positive. the IRR is greater than the discount rate. this means that the project is profitable. Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value

Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2 = $320,000 / 2 = $160,000

$25,000 / $160,000 = 0.156 = 15.6%

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

To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Solution :

Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

= 5,700 x (1 + 15%)

= $ 6555

Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

= 4200 x (1 + 15%)

= $ 4830

Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)

= $ 1725

Taxes (34%) = 510 x (1+15%)

= $ 586.5

Net income = sales - cost - taxes

= 6555 - 4830 - 586.5

= $ 1138.5

Calculation of total asset :

Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15

= $ 4485

Fixed asset = 8100 x 1.15

= $ 9315

Total asset = 4485 + 9315

= $ 13800

Calculation of total liabilities

Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15

= $ 2530

Long term debt = $ 3,750

Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )

= $ 7189

Total liabilities = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189

= $ 13, 469

Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469

= $ 331
