Answer:

a. Net Present Value of Cool:

= Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment

= ∑(Cash flows * Present value factor) - Initial investment

= (38,000 * 0.893) + (43,000 * 0.797) + (48,000 * 0.712) - 97,000

= 102,381 - 97,000

= $5,381

Net Present value of Hot.

Cashflows are constant so this is an annuity:

= Cashflow * Present value interest factor of annuity - Initial investment

= 42,000 * 2.402 - 97,000

= 100,884 - 97,000

= $3,884

b. Profitability index for Cool:

= Present value of inflows / Initial investment

= 102,381 / 97,000

= 1.06

Profitability index for Hot:

= 100,884 / 97,000

= 1.04

c. Project Cool should be selected because it has a higher Net Present Value.

Leisure Industries manufactures​ custom-designed playground equipment for schools and city parks. Leisure expected to incur $ 62
inn [45]

Answer:

Price= $85263,6

Explanation:

We need to calculate the price paid by the City of Hamptonville for playground equipment.

We know the following information:

Direct material= $13000

Direct labor= 160hours*$22hour= $3520

Manufacturing overhead: it is assigned on labor hours.

We need to calculate the value of manufacturing overhead.

Labor hours presupuested= $41800/$22hour= 1900hours

$/hour of manufacturing overhead= $627000/1900hours= $330

<u>Manufacturing overhead Job 309= 330*160hours= $52800</u>

Manufacturing cost Job 309= direct material + direct labor + Manufacturing overhead= 13000 + 3520 + 52800= $69320

Price=69320*1.23= $85263,6

If textbooks and study guides are complements, then an increase in the price of textbooks will result in a. more textbooks being
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

d. fewer study guides being sold

Explanation:

If there is an increase in the price of textbooks, it is fair to assume that demand for textbooks will fall and, thus, textbooks sales will also fall. When goods are complements, a decrease in demand for a certain good means that its complements will also experience a similar decrease in demand. Since textbooks and study guides are complements, the sales of study guides will also fall.

Therefore, the answer is d. fewer study guides being sold
