Final Finishing is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives for a new polisher. Each alternative has an expected life o

f 10 years and no salvage value. Polisher 1 requires an initial investment of $20,000 and provides annual benefits of $4,465. Polisher 2 requires an initial investment of $10,000 and provides annual benefits of $1,770. Polisher 3 requires an initial investment of $15,000 and provides annual benefits of $3,580. MARR is 15%/year.
Show the comparisons and internal rates of return used to make your decision:

Answer:

1. 18.09%

2. 12%

3. 20.02%  

Explanation:

As the MARR is 15%, we will accept projects which have IRR more than 15%. As the projects are mutually exclusive, we will choose only one project.

An IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the rate which makes the NPV (Net Present Value) = ZERO.

The formula to calculate IRR is: 0 = P0 + P1/(1+IRR) + P2/(1+IRR)2 + P3/(1+IRR)3 + . . . +Pn/(1+IRR)n where P0 = Initial cash outflow

And P1, . . . Pn equals the cash inflows in periods 1, 2, . . . n, respectively.      

1) IRR of project 1:

0 = -$20,000 + $4,465/(1+IRR)1 + $4,465/(1+IRR)2 + $4,465/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $4,465/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 18.09%

2) IRR of project 2:

0 = -$10,000 + $1,770/(1+IRR)1 + $1,770/(1+IRR)2 + $1,770/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $1,770/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 12%

3) IRR of project 3:

0 = -$15,000 + $3,580/(1+IRR)1 + $3,580/(1+IRR)2 + $3,580/(1+IRR)3 + . . . + $3,580/(1+IRR)10

Solving for IRR we have = 20.02%

We will choose project 3 as it has the highest IRR.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Net income -$268,000

Operating Cash Flow $511,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Net income

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales $2,560,000

Cost of goods sold $1,364,000

Other expenses $685,000

Depreciation $477,000

EBIT $34,000

Interest $302,000

Taxable income -$ 268,000

($34,000-$302,000)

Taxes (24%) 0

Net income -$268,000

CALCULATION FOR EBIT

Sales $2,560,000

LESS:Cost of goods sold ($1,364,000)

Other expenses ($685,000)

Depreciation ($477,000)

EBIT $34,000

Based on the information given we were told that we should ignore any tax loss which was why Taxes (24%) was $0

The taxes are zero since we are ignoring any carryback or carryforward provisions.

Therefore NET INCOME is -$268,000

B. Calculation for operating cash flow

Using this formula

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Operating Cash Flow= $34,000 + $477,000 - 0

Operating Cash Flow = $511,000

Therefore Operating Cash Flow is $511,000

Answer:

Payoff = $2 per share.

Explanation:

In a put option, the long (the party that buy the put) will have gain on the option when the underlying asset price is lower than the excercise price of that asset <em>(imagine the advantage that you can sell a chicken at $12 when it market price of is is only 10)</em>.

Because the stock price is $91, lower than exercise price of 93, so the company should exercise the put. Total payoff per share is 93 - 91 = $2.

<em>Note: We dont include premium to buy the put here because the question asking about payoff. We on include premium in calculations when the question is about profit.</em>

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

UNIT VARIABLE DATA:

Selling price $60

Cost of shoes 37

Sales commission 3

Total Variable cost per unit 40

ANNUAL FIXED COSTS

Rent $30,000

Salaries 100,000

Advertising 40,000

Other fixed costs 10,000

TOTAL FIXED COSTS $180,000

1) Break-even point (units)= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 180,000/ (60 - 40)= 9,000 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 180,000 / (20/60)= $540,000

2) Q= 8,000

Income= quantity* contribution margin - fixed costs

Income= 8000*20 - 180,000= $-20,000

3) Variable costs= $37

Fixed costs= 180,000 + 15,500= $195,500

Break-even point (units)= 195,500 / (60 - 37)= 8,500 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= 195,500 / (23/60)= $510,000

4) Comission= $2

Variable costs= 42

Break-even point (units)= 180,000 / (60 - 42)= 10,000 pair of shoes

Break-even point (dollars)= 180,000 / (18/60)= $600,000

5) comission= $2 post 9,000 pair of shoes

Income= 9,000*20 + 3,000*18 - 180,0000= $54,000
