ACS Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $6.2 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.8 mill

ion a year for five years. The firm uses the subjective approach to assign discount rates to projects. For this project, the subjective adjustment is 2%. The firm has a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.7% and a cost of equity of 9.4%. The debt-equity ratio is 0.6 and the tax rate is 35%. What is the net present value of the project

Answer:

$0.710 million

Explanation:

The net present value of the project is the present value of future cash inflows discounted at the appropriate project discount rate minus the initial investment outlay.

The weighted average cost of capital of the firm is computed using the formula below:

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

debt-equity ratio=debt/equity=  0.6(which means debt is 0.6 while equity is 1 since 0.6/1=0.6)

weight of equity=equity/(equity+debt)

weight of equity=1/(1+0.6)=62.50%

weight of debt=debt/(equity+debt)

weight of debt=0.6/(1+0.6)=37.50%

cost of equity=9.4%

after-tax cost of debt=pre-tax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

pre-tax cost of debt=6.7%

tax rate=35%

after-tax cost of debt=6.7%*(1-35%)=4.36%

WACC=(62.50%*9.4%)+(37.50%*4.36%)

WACC=7.51%

The WACC would be adjusted upward by 2% to reflect the higher level of risk of the new project

project's discount rate=7.51%+2%=9.51%

present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+discount rate)^n

n is the year in which the future cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1  cash flow ,2 for year 2 cash flow, and so on.

NPV=$0.710 million($710,000)

You are thinking about buying a new car and will borrow $20,000 for this purchase at a 5 percent fixed rate for exactly one year
natita [175]

Answer:

You will pay back the lender exactly <u>$21,000</u>, which will represent <u>$20,600</u> of purchasing power.

Explanation:

you will pay back the lender exactly $21,000, which will represent $20,600 of purchasing power.

$20,000 for this purchase at a 5 percent fixed rate

=$20,000*5/100

=$20,000*0.05 = $1,000

=$20,000 + $1,000 = $21,000

Inflation will be 2 percent this year

=$20,000*2/100

=$20,000*0.02 = $400

=$20,000 + ($1,000 - $400)

=$20,000 + $600 = $20,600

Suppose the reserve requirement is 5​%. What is the effect on total checkable deposits in the economy if bank reserves increase
madam [21]

Answer:

D. ​$1 comma 000 billion increase

Explanation:

The reserve requirement ratio determines the total amount of checkable deposits a bank must keep.

In this case the reserve ratio it's 5%, which means that the total amount of deposits cannot exceed an amount equal to 20 times its reserves.  

If the reserves increase by $50 billion then $50/0,05 = 1.000 billion increase.

Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral. Material and processing costs total $6
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$26,800

Explanation:

Sales revenue after further processing:

= Units produced from each ton of clypton × Selling price per unit

= 7,300 × $15

= $109,500

Sales revenue at split off point:

= Units produced from each ton of clypton × Selling price per unit

= 7,300 × $10

= $73,000

Incremental revenue:

= Sales revenue after further processing - Sales revenue at split off point

= $109,500 - $73,000

= $36,500

Incremental profit = Incremental revenue - Incremental cost

                              = $36,500 - $9,700

                              = $26,800

Therefore, financial advantage (disadvantage) of further processing product X15 is $26,800.
