Production equipment costing $500,000 has been purchased by a contract manufacturing company to meet the specific needs of a cus

tomer (Note: this equipment qualified for a 10% investment tax credit (ITC) at the time of purchase). The contracting award is for a 4-year contract with the possibility of extending the contract for another 4 years. The company plans to use MACRS to depreciate this equipment as a 7-year class property for tax purposes. The income tax rate for the company is 40%, and it expects to have an after-tax rate of return (MARR) of 12% for all its investments. The equipment has generated an annual income of $150,000 for the company for the first four years, however the customer decided not to renew the contract after 4 years. Consequently, the company has decided to sell the equipment for $200,000 at the end of 4 years.
Required:
Use the short-cut method to determine if the company has reached their rate of return (IRR) goal on this contract and investment.

Answer:

Short-cut IRR = 18.75%

The company has not reached their rate of return goal on this contract and investment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of production equipment = $500,000

Qualified investment tax credit (ITC) = 10% = $50,000 ($500,000 * 10%)

Contract period = 4 years with 4 years extension on renewal

Income tax rate for the company = 40%

Expected after-tax rate of return = 12%

Expected before-tax rate of return = 30% (12%/40%)

Annual income generated by the equipment = $150,000 for 4 years

Salvage value at the end of 4 years = $200,000

Short-cut IRR = 100%, divided by the number of years * about 75-80%

= 100%/4 * 75%

= 18.75%

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Paired Comparison

Explanation:

Paired Comparison is a type of job evaluation method in which individual jobs are evaluated in relation to every other job, based on a ranking system, and an overall score is given for each job, determining the highest-valued job to the lowest-valued job. Here in paired comparison method an employee's work is basically evaluated by looking to every job being performed in that organisation, then after doing the comparison the relative scores are assigned to the job which needs to be evaluated. This method is different to the methods which most organisation use where jobs are evaluated specifically on the basis of your skills, performance and your knowledge. One of the drawback which this method has is that the employees start comparing themselves with other employees, not their job but their personalities and knowledge etc. which in turn creates jealousy factor which in return can decrease the overall performance of organisation.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

c. It should process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.

Explanation:

For the purpose of this Decision,

Benefit of processing further = Sales Value after processing – Sale Value before processing – Further Processing costs

Cost of acquiring trees is a sunk cost already incurred and hence is not relevant

Hence, benefit of processing = (0.80-0.20)*350 – 50

= $160

Hence, the answer is

c. It should process further because the reduction in the cost of the trees is irrelevant.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

That low income can be enough because of either one of these two reasons (or the two at the sime time):

  • A high proportion of subsidized good for low-income earners in developing countries: a consumer making $1,000 per year on average could benefit from subsidized food, housing, healthcare, and even transportation, allowing this person to devote most of his income to other expenses.
  • Cheap credit available: this same person could not have enough money to pay for the television in cash, but could easily obtain a credit with low interest rates, and long-term payments.
