Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
Answer:
$1,83,000
Explanation:
Sales = 4,535,000
Cost of goods sold = $2,560,000
Operating expenses = $1,382,000
Average total assets = $4,110,000
Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses
= $4,535,000 - $2,560,000 - $1,382,000
= $5,93,000
Target income = 10% of Average total assets
= 0.10 × $4,110,000
= $410,000
Thus,
Residual income = Net income - Target income
= $5,93,000 - $410,000
= $1,83,000
Answer:
Operating income increases by $40,000.
Explanation:
Given that,
Total fixed costs = $840,000
Sale price per unit = $60
Variable cost per unit = $30
Additional amount spend on advertising = $35,000
Sales volume would increase by 2,500 units.
Contribution margin:
= Sales - Variable costs
= $60 - $30
= $30 per unit
Increase in operating income:
= Increase in contribution margin - Increase in Fixed costs
= ($30 × 2,500 units) - $35,000
= $75,000 - $35,000
= $40,000
Answer:
$88,920
Explanation:
capitalized interest = weighted average accumulated expenditure for the year x interest rate of the loan = $889,200 x 10% = $88,920
Capitalized interest can be added to the basis of the new building that is being constructed. This way, the building's depreciable value will increase.
