Answer:

Payback period=2 years 5  months

Payback period=3 years  8 months

Explanation:

<em>The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes  .</em>

<em>It is the number of years it takes the cash project to break-even</em>

a) Payback period

Total cash flow for two years = 750×  2 = 1500.000

Balance of cash flow required to make up= 1800000- 1500,000  300,000

Payback period = 2 years + 300,000/750,000× 12 months=  2 years 5  months

Payback period=2 years 5  months

b) Payback period

Total cash flow for 3 years = 450,000 + $225,000 +600,000=1,275 ,000

Balance o cash required to make up 1800,000 = 1,800,000 -1275,000= 525,000

Pay back period = 3 years + 525,000/750,000×  12 months

                            = 3 years  8 months

Payback period=3 years  8 months

In a local​ market, the monthly price of internet access service decreases from ​$40 to ​$30​, and the total quantity of monthly
deff fn [24]

The answer is : The demand is elastic.

Elasticity =

[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|

[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23

The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

Here are data on two companies. The T-bill rate is 5.8% and the market risk premium is 7.4%.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

18.38% and 13.2%

Explanation:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

So for Discount store, it is

= 5.8% + 1.7 × 7.4%

= 5.8% + 12.58%

= 18.38%

And for everything store, it is

= 5.8% + 1.0 × 7.4%

= 5.8% + 7.4%

= 13.2%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.
