Two mutually exclusive projects have 3-year lives and a required rate of return of 10.5 percent. Project A costs $75,000 and has

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Both projects should be rejected

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

For project A,

Cash flow in year zero = $75,000

Cash flow in year one = $18,500

Cash flow in year two = $42,900

Cash flow in year three = $28,600

IRR = 9.12%

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = $-72,000

Cash flow in year one = $22,000

Cash flow in year two = $38,000

Cash flow in year three = $26,500

IRR = 9.48%

The decision rule on if to invest or not is if IRR > r

For both investments IRR is less than rate of return

9.12% < 10.50%

9.48% < 10.50%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button, and the compute button.

vekshin1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Travel Book

Sales= $164,000

Cost of goods sold= (67,000)

Contribution margin= 97,000

Order and delivery processing (25,000)

Rent and allocated corporate costs remain constant in both decisions (drop or not). Therefore, they are irrelevant.

East Publishing Company is doing an analysis of a proposed new finance text. Using the following data, answer Parts a through e.

Alik [6]

Answer:

a. Determine the company’s breakeven volume for this book. •i. In units ii. In dollar sales

total fixed costs = $70,000

variable costs per unit = $16

sales price = $30

contribution margin = $30 - $16 = $14

break even point in units = $70,000 / $14 = 5,000 textbooks

break even point in $ = 5,000 x $30 = $150,000

b. Develop a breakeven chart for the text.

units fixed costs variable costs total costs total sales

0 70000 0 70000 0

1000 70000 16000 86000 30000

2000 70000 32000 102000 60000

3000 70000 48000 118000 90000

4000 70000 64000 134000 120000

6000 70000 96000 166000 180000

I attached the graph that corresponds to this break even chart.

c. Determine the number of copies East must sell in order to earn an (operating) profit of $21,000 on this text.

($70,000 + $21,000) / $14 = 6,500 units

total sales = 6,500 x 30 = $195,000

d. Determine total (operating) profits at the following sales levels: i. 3,000 units •ii. 5,000 units iii. 10,000 units

i. $28,000 loss

ii. no gain/loss, break even point

iii. $70,000 gain

e. Suppose East feels that $30.00 is too high a price to charge for the new finance text. It has examined the competitive market and determined that $24.00 would be a better selling price. What would the break even volume be at this new selling price?

new contribution margin = $24 - $16 = $8

new break even point in units = $70,000 / $8 = 8,750 textbooks
