Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 343,000 –$ 50,000 1 52,000 24,700

2 72,000 22,700 3 72,000 20,200 4 447,000 15,300 Whichever project you choose, if any, you require a return of 16 percent on your investment. a-1 What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

The payback period for each of the project is - project A = 3.33 and project B = 2.13

Explanation:

First of all the payback period means the amount of time it would take for  a company to recover its initial cost or investment which it has invested in the project .

<u>Calculating the payback period for project A</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted

                                 cash flow        factor              value        cumulative flow

( NOTE - Formula used for discounting factor = 1 / (1 + i)^n, where i = 16% which is the rate of return on the investment and n is the number of years.)

0   -$343,000       -$343,000          1                  -$343,000         -$343,000

1     $52,000         -$291,000          .86206         $44,828           -$298,172

2    $72,000          -$219,000         .74314            $53,508         -$244,665

3    $72,000          -$147,000         .64063            $46,127         -$198,537

4    $447,000         $300,000        .55226           $2,46,874        $48,337

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 3 + $147,000 / $447,000

= 3.33 ( payback period for project A )

<u>Calculating the payback period for project B</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted                                                              

                                   cash flow       factor              value         cash flow

0        -$50,000         -$50,000         1                   -$50,000    -$50,000

1          $24,700          -$25,300         .86206        $21,293       -$28,707

2         $22,700          -$2600            .74314          $16,869      - $11,838

3         $20,200          $17,600           . 64063        $12,941        $1013

4         $15,300           $32,900          .55226         $8,450        $9463

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 2 + 2600 / 20,200

= 2.13 ( payback period for project B)

Assume that the total cost of a project is $570,000 and that it is fully depreciable using a straight-line method over 6 years.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

So the depreciation in year 1 is $95,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is the accounting method that is used to allocate cost of an asset over its useful life. It is assumed that an asset losses values over a period and the salvage or terminal value is the value of the good after its useful life has ended.

Straight line method of depreciation assumes equal allocation of depreciation expense over the useful life of an asset.

In the given the asset value is $570,000 and the terminal value is $0

Using the formula

Depreciation= (Value of asset- Salvage value)/Number of useful years

Depreciation= (570,000-0)/6

Depreciation= $95,000 paid equally for 6 years

So the depreciation in year 1 is $95,000

<u>Solution</u>

                                                         Yoste Company Noone Company

Sales revenue($100,000 + $5,000)             $90,000      $105,000

Sales returns and allowances                        ($6,000)         ($5,000)

Net sales                                                         $84,000   $100,000

Cost of goods sold($100,000 - $40,000)          ($58,000) ($60,000)

Gross profit($84,000 - $58,000)                         $26,000            $40,000

Operating expenses($40,000 - $17,000)         ($14,380)           ($23,000)

Net income($26,000 - $14,380)                          $11,620          $17,000

  • Net Income divide by Net Sales = Profit Margin Ratio
  • Gross Profit divide by Net Sales = Gross Profit Rate

<u>Yoste Company : </u>

Profit Margin Ratio = $11,620 divide by $84,000 = 13.83%

Gross Profit Rate = $26,000 divide by $84,000 = 30.95%

<u>Noone Company:</u>

Profit Margin Ratio = $17,000 divide by $100,000 = 17%

Gross Profit Rate = $40,000 divide by $100,000 = 40%
