Answer:

1. Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

2. Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

3. I would recommend that company accept Project B.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the requirement are omitted. The requirements are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

The cost incurred by a firm through the foregone earnings on capital invested is a(n):
Yuri [45]
The answer is sunk cost
This incurred cost usually could not be recovered in any way.
For example, let's say for the business operation, you make  a prepaid rent for a building for the whole year.
In this situation, the prepaid rent could be considered as a sunk cost because it's already incurred and not recoverable anymore

kifflom [539]

Answer:

DR Supplies expense $2,800

CR Supplies  $2,800

Explanation:

Opening Balance      $2,100

Add Purchases         $3,500

Total                           $5,600

Closing Balance        $2,800

To determine usage for the month

=Total  supplies - Closing Balance of Supplies

= $5,600 - $2,800

= $2,800

Usage for the month = $2,800

DR Supplies expense $2,800

CR Supplies  $2,800

Sheridan Co. purchased machinery that cost $2650000 on January 4, 2019. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machiner
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated retained earnings by $2,650,000

Annual depreciation on machine = ( Purchase cost - Residual value ) / Useful life

= ($2,650,000 - $165,000) / 9

= $2,485,000 / 9

= $276,111.11

Depreciation would have been recorded for $552,222 for 2 years had the machinery been corrected recorded I.e $276,111 × 2 = $552,222

Therefore , the cumulative effect of this error on the income statement of Sheridan for the year ended, 31 December 2021 would have shown

= $2,650,000 - $552,222

= $2,097,779
