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%

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The best explanation for the need to allocate resources in the game of economics is that:

C) There are not enough resources to produce all of the goods and services that everyone wants.

Explanation:

In economics, it has been established that human needs are insatiable and that the resources to meet the needs are not readily and sufficiently available.  This is the bedrock of Economics.  It is the reason that Economics is studied as a separate course.  Scarcity and needs are important concepts in human interactions.  Therefore, the ability to allocate scarce resources to enable the production of goods and services is key to human development.

Currently digby is paying a dividend of $19. 67 (per share). if this dividend were raised by $3. 64, given its current stock pri
Oliga [24]

Given its current stock price the dividend yield would be 42.39%.

Given,

Digby is paying a dividend of $19. 67 (per share)

Dividend were raised by $3. 64

Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share.

As there is no share price given, I shall assume that the share price is $100. The new share price will be:

= 100 * (1 + $3. 64)

= $464

The Dividend yield would then become:

= 19.67 / 464

= 42.39%

The dividend yield will be calculated on the basis of the dividend per share divided by the market price per share and this will be calculated on the basis of the percentage.
