baherus [9]

Answer:

NPV: $180,285.49

IRR: 21.336%

simple rate of return: 72.13%

Explanation:

6,100,000 investment

contribution margin 3,000,000

fixed expense: 900,000

EBITA 2,100,000

We will calculate the NPV without the depreciation, as the depreciation is the distribution of the investment cost over the project life.

If we include the depreciation we will be counting the investment amount twice. Entirely at Time 0 and then subtracting on each cash inflow.

We will calculate the NPV at 20% as is the company's discount rate. Even if the current division returns are in 24% as the company accepts project which yields 20%.

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 2,100,000

time 5 years

rate 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$2100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.2)^{-5} }{0.2} = PV\\$

PV $6,280,285.49

NPV = PV of cash inflow - investment

6,280,285.49 - 6,100,000 = 180,285.49

the IRR:

The internal rate of return is the rate at which the NPV of a priject is zero.

We calculate this using excel formula IRR

or a financial calculator

it could also be done with trial and error using the PV tables.

I will explain you in Excel

FIrst, you write the inflow and outflow per year:

-6,100,000

2,100,000

then we write on another cell:

=IRR(

then, select the cells

and press enter

21.336%

the simple rate of return:

(total return - investment) / investment

(2,100,000 x 5 - 6,100,000) / 6,100,000 =

4,400,000 / 6,100,000 = 0.721311475 = 72.13%

Fowler is expected to pay a dividend of $1.81 one year from today and $1.96 two years from today. The company has a dividend pay

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$77.34

Explanation:

The computation of the current stock price is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

EPS for year 2 = Dividend at year 2 ÷ Payout Ratio

= $1.96 ÷ 0.40

= $4.90

Now the price at year 2 is

Price at year 2 ÷ EPS at year 2 = PE ratio

Price at year 2 ÷ $4.90 = 18.95

Price at year 2 = $92.855

Now finally the current stock price is

= Dividend at year 1 ÷ (1 + rate of interest) + Dividend at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2 + Price at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2

= $1.81 ÷ 1.119 + $1.96 ÷ 1.119^2 + $92.855 ÷ 1.119^2

= $77.34

Benson Company produces flash drives for computers which have variable costs of $10 per flash drive to produce. Each flash drive

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It increases by 50 units.

Explanation:

Current break even point = $\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution\:per\:unit}$

Here, fixed cost = $4,500

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable Cost = $20 - $10 = $10

Current break even point = $\frac{4,500}{10} = 450 units$

If variable cost increase by 10% then revised variable cost = $10 + 10% = $11

Contribution per unit = $20 - $11 = $9 per unit

Break even sales in units = $\frac{4,500}{9} = 500 units$

Difference in original and revised break even = Revised - Original = 500 - 450 units = 50 units,

Thus original break even increases by 50 units, = 50/450 = 11.11% increase.

Final Answer

It increases by 50 units.

Among the tax proposals regularly considered by Congress is an additional tax on distilled liquors. The tax would not apply to b

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Liquor consumers

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.

Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.

If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.

If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.

Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.

I hope my answer helps you.
