wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) Net Present Value = $ 304,495.12

b) Beyer should accept the investment.

Explanation:

The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.

NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

Year PV

1 77,000 × 1.12^(-1) = 68,750.00

2 54,000 × 1.12^(-2) = 43,048.47

3 82,000 × 1.12^(-3) = 58,365.98

4 172,000 × 1.12^(-4) = 109,309.11

5 423,000 × 1.12^(-5)= 240,021.56

Total Present Value 519,495.12

Initial cost (215,000)

Net Present Value 304,495.12

Net Present Value = $ 304,495.12

b) Decision :

Beyer should accept the investment. This will increase the wealth of the shareholders by $ 304,495.12

Based on the following information, what would be recorded as purchases discount if the invoice is paid within the discount peri

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$30

Explanation:

2/10 net 30 means the supplier extends 30 days credit to the purchaser. If the payment is made between 10 days and 30 days, no discount is allowed.

However if the payment is made within 10 days, 2% of net purchase price would be allowed as a discount by the supplier.

Now, Net Purchases = Total invoice price - freight - purchases returns

Net Purchases = $2150 - $150 - $ 500

Net Purchases= $1500

Rate of discount = 2%

Purchases discount = 2% of 1500= $30 will be allowed if the payment is made within the discount period.

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as a.period costs

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.

Explanation:

Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.

Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.

Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for S25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

CM ratio = 2.5
break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

CM ratio = 3.57
break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, last year?

42,858 balls

4. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

new price of $28 per ball

5. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

CM = 1.32
26,250 balls

6.a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

31,875 balls

6.b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses ($270,000)

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses ($420,000 )

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

6.c. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

direct labor $9
other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls
