The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $940,000,
Tanya [424]

Answer:

a. Year 0 Net Cash Flows = $984,000

b. We have:

Year 1 net operating cash flows = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = $261,479

c. Additional Year 3- cash flow = $504,877

d. The machine should be purchased.

Explanation:

We start by first calculating the following:

Initial Investment = Base Price + Modification Cost = $940,000 + $25,000 = $965,000

Useful Life = 3 years

Depreciation in Year 1 = 0.3333 * $965,000 = $321,634.50

Depreciation in Year 2 = 0.4445 * $965,000 = $428,942.50

Depreciation in Year 3 = 0.1481 * $965,000 = $142,916.50

Book Value at the end of Year 3 = $965,000 - $321,634.50 - $428,942.50 - $142,916.50 = $71,506.50

After-tax Salvage Value = Salvage Value - (Salvage Value - Book Value) * Marginal tax rate = $624,000 – ($624,000 - $71,506.50) * 25% = $485,877

Initial Investment in NWC = $19,000

We can now proceed as follows:

a. What is the Year 0 net cash flow?

Year 0 Net Cash Flows = Initial Investment + Initial Investment in NWC = $965,000 + $19,000 = $984,000

b. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3?

Year 1 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 1) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $321,634.50) = $306,159

Year 2 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 2) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $428,942.50) = $332,986

Year 3 net operating cash flows = (Pretax Cost Saving * (1 - tax)) + (tax * Depreciation in year 3) = ($301,000 * (1 – 0.25)) + (0.25 * $142,916.50) = $261,479

c. What is the additional Year 3- cash flow (i.e. after tax salvage and the return of working capital)?

Additional Year 3- cash flow = NWC recovered + After-tax Salvage Value = $19,000 + $485,877 = $504,877

d. If the project's cost of capital is 12%, should the machine be purchased?

This can be determined from the net present value (NPV) calculated as follows:

NPV = -$984,000 + ($306,159/1.12^1) + ($332,986/1.12^2) + ($261,479/1.12^3) + ($504,877/1.12^3) = $100,287.71

Since the NPV of the machine of $100,287.71 is positive, the machine should be purchased.

A portfolio comprises Coke​ (beta of 1.1​) and​ Wal-Mart (beta of 1​). The amount invested in Coke is​ $10,000 and in​ Wal-Mart
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Beta= 1.133

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Coke:

beta= 1.1​

Investment= $10,000

Wal-Mart:

beta= 1

Investment= $20,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the proportion of investments:</u>

Coke= 10,000/30,000= 0.33

Wal-Mart= 20,000/30,000= 0.77

<u>Now, to calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)

Beta= (0.33*1.1) + (0.77*1)

Beta= 1.133

The Good Chocolate Company makes a variety of chocolate candies, including a 12-ounce chocolate bar (340 grams) and a box of six
joja [24]

Answer:

A) ≈ 3.509 grams

B) The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( NO )

c) 1.051 ounces

Explanation:

A) The largest standard deviation ( in grams)

This can be calculated applying the capability index formula and according to the capability index formula the value at which a process is capable is at  : 1.33

hence the largest standard deviation =  upper limit - lower limit / 6 * 1.33

 ( 354 - 326 ) / 7.98 = 3.5087 ≈ 3.509 grams

B) we first calculate the process mean and std of the box

standard deviation = \sqrt{variance }

std of the six-bar box = \sqrt{6*0.86^2}  = 2.106

process mean = 6 * ( 1.03 * 28.33) = 175.079

the mean is not centered between the upper specification and the lower specification hence we will apply the formulae used in calculating the capability index for an uncentered process

Cpk = (upper value - process mean) / (3 * std of box),

         = (187 - 175.079) / ( 3 * 2.106) = 11.921 / 6.318 = 1.89

Cpk =  (process mean -  lower value ) / (3*std of box)

       = ( 175.079 - 153 ) / (3 * 2.106) = 22.079 / 6.318 = 3.49

The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( N0 )

c ) lowest setting

calculate the value of the mean using capability index of 1.33

Cpk = (upper value - mean ) / 3 * std

mean = 187 - 1.33 * 3 * 2.106

           = 187 - 8.40 = 178.60 grams

Cpk = ( process mean - lower value ) / 3 * std

 mean = 1.33 * 3 * 2.106 + 153

            = 8.40 + 153 = 161.40 grams

the lowest setting in ounces

= 178.60 / ( 6 bar * 28 .33)

= 178.60 / 169.98 = 1.051 ounces

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured

Explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured are reported on the face of income statement because it's a critical factor in arriving at the profit or loss position at the end of a period. Cost of goods manufactured takes cognizance of the material costs, labour and overhead costs involved in production. This determines the overall financial status of a company, and allow a decision maker to know if the business is doing good or not.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

a = Total Fixed Cost

Explanation:

Total Cost is the total expenditure incurred on production of goods & services.

Total Cost can be segmented into : Fixed Cost - on fixed factors (eg plant), not varying with level of output and Variable Cost - on variable factors (eg raw materials), directly varying with level of output.

In Total Cost Function : Y = a + bX ;  a = Constant Fixed Cost , bX = Variable cost varying with level of output X.
