Business

Answer: Henry should purchase this plant as it pays back in less than the 6 years it will have to be replaced in.

Payback period = 3.7 years

Explanation:

Payback period is a capital budgeting strategy that shows how long it will take for cash inflow to pay off the original investment.

The formula is;

= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback

Year before payback

= 1,200,000/ 325,000

= 3.69

= 3 years

Cashflow remaining

= 1,2000,000 - (325,000 * 3)

= $225,000

= Year before payback + Cashflow remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of Payback

= 3 + 225,000/325,000

= 3.69

= 3.7 years

kozerog [31]

Answer:

$326,400 is the variable cost quantity factor while $56,000 is the unit cost factor

Explanation:

The variable cost quantity factor is a measure of the difference between the planned and actual units  multiplied by planned variable cost.  

That is Variable Cost quantity factor = (planned units  - actual units sold) x        planned variable cost

                                                            = (14000-2400) - 14000) x $136

                                                            = (11600 - 14000) x $136

                                                            =  -$326,400

Unit Cost factor = $(140 - 136) x 14000 units

                          =$56,000

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Equity Beta = 1.1413

Explanation:

The formula to find the asset beta is

Asset Beta = Equity Beta/(1+(1-tax rate)(Debt/Equity))

We will put the values given in the question in this formula

Asset Beta = 0.8

Tax rate = 0.36

Debt = 0.40

Equity = 0.60

0.8=Equity Beta/(1+(0.64)(0.40/0.60)

0.8=Equity Beta/1+0.4266

0.8=Equity Beta/1.4266

1.4266*0.8= Equity Beta

Equity Beta = 1.1413
