The Quorum Company has a prospective 6-year project that requires initial fixed assets costing $962,000, annual fixed costs of $

diamong [38]

Answer:

5375

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Fixed assets costing = $962000

Annual fixed costs = $403400

Variable cost per unit = $123.60

Sales price per unit = $249.00

Discount rate = 14%

Tax rate = 21%

The contribution per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $(249.00 - 123.60)

= $125.40

The present value break-even point(BEP) is the region of sales level where the net present value (NPV) equals zero.

Assuming that the sales level = p

i.e.

NPV = PV(of inflows - of outflows)

Inflows = (p * contribution per unit - annual fixed cost)( 1- tax rate) + depreciation * tax rate

= (p * 125.4 - 403400) ( 1 - 0.21) + depreciation * tax rate

where;

depreciation = initial fixed assest cost/ lifetime of the project

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (962000/6)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (160333.33)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670

Now, the PV of the inflows =PV factor(6 years, 14%) * inflows

$= inflows * \dfrac{( 1-(1.14)^{-6})}{0.14}$

$= inflows * 3.8887$

Replacing the value for inflows, we have:

$=((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887$

The PV of the outflows = Initial Fixed asset cost = $962000

∴

Equating both together using:

PV(of inflows - of outflows) = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 - 962000 = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 318686 + 33670) * 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 285016) * 3.8887 = 962000

385.24p - 1108341.72 = 962000

385.24p= 962000 + 1108341.72

385.24p= 2070341.72

p = 2070341.72 / 385.24

p ≅ 5375

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Sales This year will be $180,800

Explanation:

Total Sales Last Year = $160,000

Growth rate of sales = 13%

Sales This year = Total Sales last year x (1+Growth rate)

Sales This year = $160,000 x (1+13%)

Sales This year = $160,000 x (1+0.13)

Sales This year = $160,000 x 1.13

Sales This year = $180,800

The Inferior Goods Co. stock is expected to earn 13% in a recession, 7% in a normal economy, and lose 6% in a booming economy. T

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Ans. The expected rate of return on the Inferior Goods Co. stock is 5.90%

Explanation:

Hi, you just have to multiply the expected earnings by the probability of occurance of a certain event and then add up all the products. Here is the information all organized to be processed.

Item Prob Earn

Booming 20% -6%

Normal 55% 7%

Recession 25% 13%

Ok, now let´s calculate the expected rate of return.

$ExpectedReturn=(0.2*(-0.06))+(0.55*0.07)+(0.25*0.13)$

$ExpectedReturn=-0.012+0.039+0.033=0.059$

So the expected rate of return of the stock is 5.90%

Best of luck.

it is possible for a hospitality operations at a profit during any given month but simultaneosly have insufficient cash flow dur

belka [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cash flow is a measure of the available cash and cash equivalent for operation in a business year.It has to be positive to generate value for investors and also to remain in business.

Profit is defined as the excess of income over expenses.

We need to know that profit are calculated on accrual basis, which means that income are recorded when earned and expenses recorded when incurred. In a situation where most sales are on account , i.e no instant cash payment and most expenses are on cash basis, this could cause a deficit in the cash flow volume. The level of inventory held could also lead to a negative cash flow despite a profitable operation if it is too high.
