Based on the amount it would cost to build the machine and the interest rate as well as the payoff, the following are true:
a. The machine will take a year to build which means the payoff will only start coming in next year.
First find the present value of the perpetuity:
= 70 / 5%
= $1,400
You then need to find the present value of the above in the current period:
= 1,400 / ( 1 + 5%)
= $1,333
NPV is:
= 1,333 - 1,000 cost
= $333
B. If the amount produced increases by 1%, you should use the Gordon Growth Model:
<em>= Next payoff / ( Interest - Growth)</em>
=70/ ( 5% - 1%)
= $1,750
Take this to current year:
= 1,750 / 1.05
= $1,667
NPV will be:
= 1,667 - 1,000
= $667

The variance analysis cycle<u> C. begins with the preparation of </u><u>performance reports</u><u>.</u>
<h3>What is a performance report?</h3>
A performance report is at the heart of the variance analysis cycle.
The performance report details the following:
- Calculates the difference between actual and budgeted expenditure and revenue.
- Analyzes the differences into various variances, determining if they are favorable or unfavorable or have no effects.
- Investigates the reasons for the differences.
- Puts the information together and reports to management.

Answer:
a. $8.33
$1.95
b.$136,500
Explanation:
The computation of earnings per share and the common dividends per share is shown below:-
a. Earning per share = Earnings Available to Common Stockholders ÷ Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding
= $178,300 ÷ 21,400
= $8.33
Dividends per Share = $41,800 ÷ 21,400
= $1.95
b. Increase in retained earnings = Operating Profit (EBIT) - Interest expense - Taxes - Preferred dividends - Common dividends
= $307,000 - $32,000 - $65,100 + $31,600 + $41,800
= $136,500
We simply applied the above formulas
