Answer:
Company should continue with old machine (Alternative 1)
Explanation:
Preparation of a differential analysis dated April 11 on whether to continue with the old machine (Alternative 1) or replace the old machine (Alternative 2)
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
Continue with old machine(Alternative 1) ; Replace with old machine(Alternative 2); Differential effect on income
REVENUES
Proceeds from sale of machine
$0 $50500 $50500
COSTS
Purchase price $0 -$75000 -$75000
Direct labor -$56000 -$37000 19000
(11200*5 = -56000)
(7400*5 = -37000)
Income (loss) -$56000 -$61500 -$5500
Based on the above differential analysis the Company should continue with OLD MACHINE (Alternative 1)
We are given the series of chemical reactions:
Ethane is chlorinated in a continuous reactor:
C2H6 + Cl2 --> C2H5Cl + HCl
But some of the product monochloroethane becomes further
chlorinated by an undesired side reaction:
C2H5Cl + Cl2 --> C2H4Cl2 + HCl
So to avoid the product monochloroethane to be further
chlorinated, there must be fast processing or fast conversion of ethane so that
there would less time for further chlorination. Hence we must design the
reactor for high conversion of ethane.
To make the process economical, there must be a
downstream separation step that would separate the main product monochloroethane
from the undesired product dichloroethane.
This transaction is called account allowance. Account allowance
includes two kinds of transactions – to reduce in the folio balance
compensation for poor service and the other one is to correct posting mistakes
after the close of business. This kind of transaction is recognized by the usage
of an allowance voucher, allowance vouchers are typically necessitate
management endorsement.
Question
you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar) for the project as follows:
Year cashflow
0 -100
1-10 15
0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project
Answer:
NPV= -$32.58
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30
Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%
The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost
= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost
A- 15, r-18%
NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58
NPV = -$32.58
