Project Q has an initial cost of $257,412 and projected cash flows of $123,300 in Year 1 and $180,300 in Year 2. Project R has a

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

b) Accept Project R and reject Project Q

Explanation:

We can use the following method to solve the given problem in the question

We are given

Project Q: Initial Cost = $ 257,412

Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 123,300 Yr 2 : $ 180,300

Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return

= 123,300/1.122 + 180,300/(1.122*1.122)

= 109,893 + 143,222

= $ 253,115

Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment

= 253,115 / 257142 = 0.98

Since the Initial Investment is greater than the Present Value of Cash Inflows, that is, l Profitability Index < 0 the Project should not be selected.

Project R: Initial Cost = $ 345,000

Projected Cash Flows: Yr 1 : $ 184,500 Yr 2 : $ 230,600

Total Present Value of all the Future Cash Flows using 12.2% as Rate of Return

= 184,500/1.122 + 230,600/(1.122*1.122)

= 164,438.5 + 183,178

= $ 347,616.5

Profitability Index = Total Present Values of all Cash Inflows / Initial Investment

= 347,616.5 / 345,000 = 1.01

Since the Initial Investment is lower that the Present Value of the Cash Inflows, that is, Profitability Index > 0 the Project should be selected.

Accept Project R and Reject Project Q, so option B is the correct answer

Tonelli Trucking buys a $65,000 truck on credit. Which financial statement will be affected by this transaction?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

A : balance sheet only

Explanation:

In the given question, the truck was purchased on credit and the truck is a fixed asset that comes under the balance sheet only because in the income statement, the expenses and revenues are recorded whereas retained earnings records profit which is left to the company.

So, it affects the balance sheet only. As balance sheet records all types of assets and all types of liabilities plus shareholder equity.

The All-Mine Corporation is deciding whether to invest in a new one-year project. The project would have to be financed by equit

Lerok [7]

A. NPV of the project

NPV = -2000 + 2500/(1.15) = $173.91

B. Value of the firm and its debt and equity components before and after the project addition.

Determine expected cash flows before the project.

($3,000 + $3,000 + $1,000)/3)/1.15 = $2,333.33/1.15 = $2,028.99

($1,500 + $0 + $0)/3)/1.15 = $500/1.15=$434.78

Determine value with project.

($3,000 + $3,000 + $3,000)/3)/1.15 =$3,000/1.15 = $2,608.70

($4,000 + $2,500 + $500)/3)/1.15 = $2,333.33/1.15=$2,028.99

C. The company should not take the project because the NPV does not go to equity but to bond holders.
