Answer:
The IRR is 5%. Rate of return would be 12.5% assuming a discount rate of 4%
Explanation:
The answer depends entirely on the discount rate. The question covers a 30 period timeframe and in each period, the pay off is $13 million. This is a simple time value of money concept in which to calculate the present value, you will simply calculate the present value of each of the cash flows. The formula is 13Mn/[(1+r)^n] where n is the year from 1 to 30, r is the discount rate.
The question requires us to calculate the return that is the variable 'r'. For this you need to have the present value today so that you can then use the equation to solve for 'r'. However, the only information we have is the time period and the cash flow. We are given $200mn as the initial outlay. So, we can at least use this to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) which is simply the rate of return (or the value of 'r') at which the present value of each of the 13 Mn to be received over the next 30 years is equal to the initial outlay (i.e 200mn). In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) is equal to zero. In our example, and using the formula for each of the cash flow from years 1 to 30, the IRR is computated at 5%. So if the discount rate that the company uses is less than 5%, the company would be better of with Joe accepting the offer because any discount rate below 5% would result in the present value of the cash flows to be in excess of $200Mn.
Lets take an example and assume that the discount rate is 4%, using the formula from year 1 to 30 and summing the values would give us a present value of $225 Mn. So the rate lf return in this case would be (225-200)/200 x 100 = 12.5%.
Answer:
2.46
Explanation:
Given:
Student tuition at ABC University per semester credit hour = $250
Average class size = 30
Labor costs per class = $3,000
materials costs per student per class = $10
overhead costs per class = $15,000
a) Now,
The multifactor productivity ratio = 
also,
Input = Labor costs + Total materials costs + Total overhead costs
or
Input = $3,000 + ( $10 × 30 ) + $15,000 = $18,300
And,
Output
= Average class size × credit hour × ( Student tuition + state supplements )
= 30 × 3 × ( $250 + $250)
= $45,000
Therefore,
The multifactor productivity ratio = 
= 2.46
Answer:
b. 4 percent
Explanation:
According to the rule of 72, hte number of years required for an investment to be doubled can be obtained by dividing 72 by the interest rate (in percentage). If it takes 18 years for the investment to bouble in value, the interest rate is:
The interest rate on the deposit is 4%.
Price elasticity demand = change in demand with respect to change in price
Price elasticity demand = abs[{($0.88-$0.99)/$0.88x 100}/{(513-249)]/513x100}
= 12.5% increase in price/ decrease of 40.16% passengers.
This method of increasing the ticket price is not feasible because the bus service is elastic, which means a small change in the ticket price of $0.11 or 12.5% would mean huge effect on decreasing the number of passengers of 40% or 264 riders reducing the income considerably. By doing the opposite, the bus company will decrease the ticket price to $0.77 in effect the number of riders will increase to 777 thus will make an income increase of 31.86% or $143.85. With this comparison of data, I would suggest the bus company would decrease the ticket price instead of increasing it.
Answer:
A. FIFO
Explanation:
FIFO, which is First-in, First-Out is a method used for calculating the cost of goods sold whereby the oldest goods in the company's or organization's industry are assumed to be sold first. It gives thesame results under both the periodic system and perpetual inventory system. So, in FIFO, goods acquired first are sold, leaving the most recent cost in the balance sheet. It also costs actual flow of goods in most businesses.
