Chapman Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $576,0

00 is estimated to result in $192,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS 5-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $84,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $24,000, along with an additional $3,600 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The inventory will return to its original level when the project ends. The shop's tax rate is 35 percent and its discount rate is 11 percent. Should the firm buy and install the machine press

Answer:

The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations

Explanation:

The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.

A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.

The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.

The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:

a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)

b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)

c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Kindly refer to the attached for detailed workings

Answer:

The change in operating income for GM is that the operating income will increase by the amount of other pension costs less expected returns.

However, this change will not affect the net income, as all the items will still be accounted for, accordingly.

Explanation:

GM's pension service cost is the present value of the amount that the GM is required by law to set aside annually to meet its employees' pension-benefits obligations.  The reason for the separation is that the service cost is a compensation cost, whereas other pension costs are financial costs and not compensation costs.  By this separation, the operating income of GM will increase.

You buy a seven-year bond that has a 6.50% current yield and a 6.50% coupon (paid annually). In one year, promised yields to mat
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The current yield and annual coupon rate of 6.50% show that the bond price was at par a year ago.

The givens are FV=1,000, n= 6, PMT = 65.00, and i= 7.50 so with this we know that the selling price this year is $953.06.

So the holding period return is $1,000+$953.06+$65.00

$1,000=0.0181=1.81%

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

allowance = Doubtful Accounts - uncollectible account  .................2

allowance = $3,200 - $940

allowance = $2260

so Net Accounts receivable is

Net Accounts receivable = $27160 - $2260

Net Accounts receivable = $24900

so correct option is c) $24,900
