Answer:

The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.

Explanation:

In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.

Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.

The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n

Where PV=present value

FV=future value

r=rate of interest

n=number of year

Company C&A sells 600 bottles of a dietary supplement per week at $100 per bottle. The supplement is ordered from a supplier
Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 300

Explanation:

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand = 600 bottles × 50 weeks = 30,000 bottles

Carrying cost per bottle = $50 × 40% = $20

And, the ordering cost per order is $30

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{30,000}\times \text{\$30}}{\text{\$20}}}

= 300 bottles

Hence, option A is correct

ozzi

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Computation of free cash flow for Monach textiles, 2017

EBIT = EBT + Interest expense EBIT

EBIT = $408 + $50

EBIT = $458

Tax rate = Tax / EBT

Tax rate = $163.20 / $408

Tax rate = 0.4 = 40%

Operating cash flow = EBIT × (1 - Tax rate) + Depreciation - Change in net working capital - Capital expenditure

= $458 × (1 - 0.4) + $82 - ($640 - $360) - ($460 - $280)

= $274.8 + $82 - $280 - $180

= $274.8 + $92 - $100

= $256.8
