Santorino Company produces two models of a component, Model K-3 and Model P-4. The unit contribution margin for Model K-3 is $6;

the unit contribution margin for Model P-4 is $14. Each model must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns two machines that together provide 4,000 hours of machine time per year. Model K-3 requires 15 minutes of machine time; Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time. ​ What is the amount of machine time for model P-4 in terms of percent of a machine hour?
a. 50%
b. 25%
c. 30%
d. 20%
e. 10%

Answer:

a. 50%

Explanation:

Model P-4 requires 30 minutes of machine time.

A machine hour consists of 60 minutes

Calculating the machine time of Model P-4 in terms of percent of machine hour:

= (Model P-4 Machine time/Machine Hour)*100

= (30/60)*100

= 0.5 * 100

=50%

So, the percent of Model P-4 machine time in terms of a machine hour is 50%.

Which of the following statements is correct? Managers will be more likely to pursue projects that will benefit the entire compa
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

A.Incorrect

B. Incorrect

Explanation:

a) A manager might reject a proposal using ROI that the manager would accept using residual income

The statement is incorrect. The reverse is true. Using ROI entails the manager comparing the ROI after a project to the ROI before, where implementing a project makes the ROI after to be less than what it before the project, the Manager would most likely not implement the project. This would happen notwithstanding that the project  produces positive residual income.

b) Managers will be more likely to pursue projects that will benefit the entire company when being evaluated on ROI instead of residual income.

This statement is incorrect. ROI makes the manager to pursue his own interest and that of its division at the expense of the group objectives. It leads to sub-optimal decision

Bruin, Inc., has identified the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$ 37,500 –$ 37,50
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Year             Cash Flow (A)            Cash Flow (B)

0                      -37,500                      -37,500

1                         17,300                         5,700

2                        16,200                       12,900

3                        13,800                       16,300

4                         7,600                       27,500

1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

IRR project A = 20%

IRR project B = 19%

2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.

3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.

4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:

NPV project A = $6,331

NPV project B = $8,139

5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the  cash flows from B:

1      $11,600

2     $3,300

3    -$2,500

4   -$19,900

then we calculate the IRR = 16%

Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

Mars Corp. is choosing between two different capital investment proposals. Machine A has a useful life of four years, and machin
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

c. Mars should invest in Machine B becuase the net present value of Machine A after 4 years is lower than the net present value of Machine B after 4 years.

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

Considering that machine b can be sold on 4 years, The NPV of machine b should be calculated based on the cash flow in for 4 years

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator.

Machine A :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $70,000

I = 10%

NPV = 21,890.58

Machine B :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 = $80,000

Cash flow each year from year 2 = $70,000

Cash flow each year from year 3 = $60,000

Cash flow each year from year 4 = $40000 + $35,000 = $75,000

I = 10%

NPV = $26,883.41

Machine b should be accepted because its NPV is greater than that of machine A

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
