Answer:

c.12%

Explanation:

PVF of  12% for 6 years is 4.11

PVFof 11% for 6 years is 4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 7251*4.11

Present value of cash inflows, 12% = 29801.61

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 7251*4.23

Present value of cash inflows, 11% = 30671.73

Internal rate of return = 11% + (30671.73 - 30000)/(30671.73-29801.61)

Internal rate of return = 11.7719969659%

Internal rate of return = 11.772%

Lou Barlow, a divisional manager for Sage Company, has an opportunity to manufacture and sell one of two new products for a five
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

1. Calculate the payback period for each product.

  • A = 2.71 years, A is preferred
  • B = 2.8 years

2. Calculate the net present value for each product.

  • A = $60,349
  • B = $83,001, B is preferred

3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.

  • A = 25%, A is preferred
  • B = 23%

4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.

  • A = 121%, A is preferred
  • B = 117%

5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.

  • A = 184%, A is ´preferred
  • B = 179%

6B. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:

  • 1. Accept Product A, since its IRR is 25% which exceeds the company's  minimum ROI (23%)

Explanation:

                                       Product A               Product B

Initial investment:

Cost of equipment          $290,000              $490,000

Annual revenues and costs:

Sales revenues              $340,000               $440,000

Variable expenses         $154,000               $206,000

Depreciation expense    $58,000                 $98,000

Fixed out-of-pocket

operating costs               $79,000                 $59,000

net cash flow                  $107,000                $175,000

The company's discount rate is 16%.

payback period

A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred

B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years

using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR

NPV

A = $60,349

B = $83,001, B is preferred

IRR

A = 25%, A is preferred

B = 23%

Project profitability

A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21

B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17

Simple rate of return

A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred

B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

umka2103 [35]

Answer: Human factor research

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels
Hatshy [7]

Answer: 10 bushels

Explanation:

If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:

= 100 / 100

= 1 work hour

For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:

= 25 / 100

= 0.25 bushels of corn

If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.

Bushels of corn produced is therefore:

= 40 * 0.25

= 10 bushels

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $115,000

Salvage value= $15,000

Useful life= 5 years

<u>To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5

Annual depreciation= $20,000
