Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase e

arnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $54,000 per year. The new machine will cost $82,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.
Required:

Solution :

Calculating the (NPV) Net Present value for the following matters to check the feasibility of the replacement of an 8 year old riveting machine with the new one :

Let

A = Year (n)

B = Initial outlay

C = Five-year MACRS depreciation percentage

D = Depreciation with MACRS Method (D)

E = Savings in earnings before depreciation

F = Taxable Income (earnings before depreciation - depreciation

G = Income taxes (Taxable Income *40%)

H = \text{After-Tax Net} cash flow \text{(Taxable income - taxes + depreciation)}

I = PV of \text{Net cash flow} at the rate 12\%= NCF/ (1+WACC\%)^n

A          B          C          D             E            F             G             H              I

0      82,500                                                                        -82,500    -82,500

1                       20%   16500     27000   10500    4200     22800      20357.14

2                      32%   26400    27000    600         240      26760      21332.91

3                       19%   15675      27000  11325      4530      22470      15993.70

4                       12%   9900       27000  17100     6840      20160       12812.04

5                       11%    9075       27000  17925     7170      19830        11252.07

6                        6%   4950       27000   22050   8820     18180        9210.55

7                        0%    0             27000   27000   10800   16200       7328.06

8                        0%    0             27000   27000   10800   16200      6542.91

NPV                                                                                                    $22,329.39

As the NPV, the project is positive ($22,329.39) and so the company should replace the 8 year old riveting machine with the new one.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct option of this question is (B). Explanation of this answer is given below in the explanation section

Explanation:

(B) is Correct Option:

Human resource manager in an organization is responsible for planning, directing and coordinating human resource management activities such as employee compensation, employee recruitment, promotions offer to an employee, etc. The major duties of the HR manager is to manage the human resource in an organization.

Why other options are not correct

(A). Interaction with customers to provide information in response to inquiries about products and services, and to handle and resolve complaints is not the responsibility of the HRM manager. It is the responsibility of the Marketing department and customer service department. In short, the customer service and marketing department are mainly responsible to perform such activities in an organization.

(C). Analyze financial information and prepare financial reports to determine or maintain record of assets, liabilities, profit and loss, tax liability, or other financial activities within an organization is the responsibility of the accounting department. And, accounting manager is responsible for such types of activities to perform in an organization.

(D) Supervise and coordinate the activities of clerical and administrative support workers is the responsibility of Admin (a managerial post) working in the administrative unit of an organization. Usually, at this post, first-line manager, team lead, assistant manager are working under the supervision of the administrative department.

(C) Compile and keep personnel records. Record data for each employee, such as address, weekly earnings, absences, amount of sales or production, supervisory reports on ability, and date of and a reason for termination is also a responsibility of the HRM and sales department. However, it is noted some responsibility such as employee record management is the sole responsibility of the HRM department and HRM manager. But termination of an employee, absence recording, amount of sales or production are the responsibility of other departments such as the administrative department, sales department, and marketing department, etc. However, this option is also correct in a sense only if employee management involved, otherwise, this option is not correct.

Galactic Inc. is considering an investment in new equipment that will be used to manufacture a smartphone. The phone is expected
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return is shown below;

As we know that

The Average rate of return = Net income ÷ Average investment

where,

Net income is

= (Selling price per unit - totat cost per unit) × additional units sales

= ($212 - $200) × $4,500 units

= $54,000

And, the average investment is

= (cost price + equipment) ÷ 2

= ($418,500 + $31,500) ÷ 2

= $225,000

So, the average rate of return is

= $54,000 ÷ $225,000 × 100

= 24%
