Sholpan [36]

Answer: A. He will quite certainly gain approval since the project has a positive net present value.

Explanation:

The options are:

A. He will quite certainly gain approval since the project has a positive net present value.

B. Approval is probable but not likely as he failed to account for the time value of money.

C. He will not gain approval as he failed to consider whether the project is leading edge or not.

D. Approval is probable but not likely as the project has been constructed on estimates instead of facts.

Capital budgeting is used to know whether the long term investment for a particular organization's is actually worth investing in or not by the company.

Based on the scenario in the question, since the present value of the estimated future cash flows is greater than the cost of the project, Ashton will quite certainly gain approval since the project has a positive net present value.

Consider the following projects. Project CO C1 C2 СЗ C4 C5 A -1,000 +1,000 0 0 0 10 B -2,000 |+1,000 |+1,000 +4,000 +1,000 +1,00
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) $3,458

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay

cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)

cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)

cost of equity=16.75%

after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=4.11%

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

weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)

value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion

value of debt=$5 billion

weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)

weight of equity=78.26%

weight of debt=1-78.26%

weight of debt=21.74%

WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)

WACC=14.00%

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

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

NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000

NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The price of the stock today or the price at which the stock should sell today is $61.30

Explanation:

The price of the stock today can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model approach which values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock will be,

P0 = 3.15 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.12)  +  3.15  * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15)  /  (1+0.12)^2  +  

3.15 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.12)^3  +  

[(3.15 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05))  / (1+0.12)^3]

P0 = $61.296 rounded off to $61.30

Prepare income statements based on variable costing for each of the 2 years. 2.Prepare income statements based on absorption cos
enot [183]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it is missing the accounts and numbers, so I looked for a similar question:

<em>The Rehe Comany sells its razors at $3 per unit. The company uses a first-in, first-out actual costing system. A fixed manufacturing cost rate is computed at the end of each year by dividing the actual fixed manufacturing costs by the actual production units. The following data are related to its first two years of operation: </em>

<em>                    2011 2012 </em>

<em>Sales 1000 units  1200 units </em>

<em>Costs: </em>

<em>Variable manufacturing  700 500</em>

<em>Fixed manufacturing  700 700</em>

<em>Variable operating (marketing) 1000 1200 </em>

<em>Fixed operating (marketing)  400 400</em>

<em />

                                                           2011                  2012

Sales                                               1000 units         1200 units

Production                                          1400                  1000  

Costs:  

Variable manufacturing                      $700               $500

per unit $0.50

Fixed manufacturing                           $700               $700

Variable operating (marketing)         $1000             $1200

Fixed operating (marketing)               $400               $400

cogs under absorption costing 2011 = ($1,400 / 1,400) x 1,000 = $1,000

cogs under absorption costing 2012 = $400 + ($1,200 / 1,000) x 800 = $1,360

<u>Operating costs:                             ($1,400)               ($1,600) </u>

Net operating income:                       $600                   $640

3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.

Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400

Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.

4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.

b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.

Firms outside of trading areas run the risk of being shut out of the single market by the creation of a Multiple Choice ""trade
swat32

Answer:

"trading fortress."

Explanation:

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Firms outside of trading areas run the risk of being shut out of the single market by the creation of a "trade fortress." A trade fortress serves as a barrier for the exchange of goods and services.

Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.

Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.

Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.
