Answer:

Annual benefit from college education (Increase in earnings) = $50,000 - $20,000 = $30,000

<em>Assuming 4 years of college study period</em>

<u>The net present value of a college education if the interest rate is 10% is as follows</u><u>:</u>

Net present value = PV of benefits - PV of costs

Net present value = Annual benefit*P/A(10%,4) - Annual costs of attending college*P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 30,000 * P/A(10%,4) - 20,000 * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = (30,000 - 20,000) * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * P/A(10%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * 3.1699

Net present value = $31,699

<u>How does this change if the interest rate is 15%?</u>

Net present value  = 30,000 * P/A(15%,4) - 20,000 * P/A(15%,4)

Net present value = (30,000 - 20,000) * P/A(15%,4)

Net present value = 10,000 * 2.855

Net present value = $28,550

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(C) Cash

Explanation:

Receivables means deptors. These are obligations that has been honoured and value given, but you're yet to get cash. Receivables are seen as such. So the things you've given value to and you're yet to receive cash or payment for are receivables.

So when receivables are collected, then the asset account Cash is increased.

On the Delivery of goods or Services, the company debits Accounts Receivable and credits what is known as Sales Revenues or Service Revenues. When an account receivable is collected say 30 days later, the account receivables is reduced and the Cash or bank account is increased.

1-a. The total time available on the plastic injection molding machine is the constraint in the production process. What is the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

Answer:

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}

Constraint: Time available on plastic injection moulding machine

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Processing time per unit (minutes) 2 5 4

Contribution Margin unit of constraint 70 (140/2) 32 (160/5) 50

1-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

Manufacturing the <u>Ski Guard</u> would be the <u>most profitable use</u> of this constraint since it has <u>the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($70 per unit).</u>

1-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>Golf Guard</u> would be the least profitable use of this constraint since it has the <u>least contribution margin per unit of constraint, at $32 per unit</u>.

2a. A severe shortage of plastic pellets has required the company to cut back its production so much that the plastic injection molding machine is no longer the bottleneck. Instead, the constraint is the total available pounds of plastic pellets. What is contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}

Constraint: Pounds of plastic pellets

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Plastic pellets per unit (pounds) 7 4 8

Contribution Margin per pound 20 (140/7) 40 (160/4) 25 (200/8)

2-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>Golf Guard</u> would be the <u>most profitable use</u> of this constraint since it has <u>the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($40 per unit).</u>

2-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>SkiGuard</u>, with a contribution margin of <u>$20 per pound</u> of plastic would be the <u>least profitable</u> use of this constraint.

3. Which product has the largest unit contribution margin?

Answer : The <u>fishing guard</u> has the <u>largest per unit contribution margin </u>at <u>$200.</u>
