Answer:

A

Explanation:

Average rate of return is a capital budgeting method. It is used to determine if a firm should invest in a project or should not invest in a project

average rate of return = average net income / average cost of investment

average net income = (total net income - depreciation) / useful life

(8,500,000 - $4,250,000) / 20 = 212,500

Average cost of investment =( beginning book value of the investment - ending book value of the investment) / 2

($4,250,000 - 0) / 2 = 2,125,000

ARR = 212,500 / 2125,000 = 0.1  = 10%

Cash $38,600 Short-term investments 9,000 Accounts receivable 40,000 Inventory 240,000 Prepaid expenses 17,400 Accounts payable
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)

Explanation:

Note: The missing part of the question is <em>"Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:</em>"

i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400

Current assets = $345,000

Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300

Current liabilities = $109,500

Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500

Current ratio = 3.15

ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities

Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000  + 17,400 ) / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 0.80

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.
