Answer: Company should not expand to either.

Explanation:

Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:

China:

= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)

= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)

= -$300,000

Vietnam:

= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)

= -$50,000

<em>Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them. </em>

Carmen Co. can further process Product J to produce Product D. Product J is currently selling for $20 per pound and costs $15.75
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

a. Differential revenue = $18 per pound

Explanation:

Differential revenue refers to additional revenue per unit.

Current revenue per unit = $20 - $15.75 = $4.25 per unit on Product J

When it will be further processed to form Product D

Net proceeds to be realized from each unit of product D = $38

Net revenue = $38 - $24.30 = $13.7

Additional or differential revenue = $38 - $20 = $18 per unit

As for $20 selling price the revenue was recognized earlier now additional revenue = $38 - $20 = $18 per pound

Note: Revenue is the proceeds from sale and not the net profit.

Differential revenue = $18 per pound

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

d. 8%

Explanation:

The computation of the discount rate is shown below:

Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows

where,

Initial investment is $7,139,000

And, the present value of cash inflows

= Annual cash inflows × discount rate

We assume the discount rate be X

$7,139,000 = $1,000,000 × X

So,

X = 7139000 ÷ 1000000 = 7.139

= 8%

We simply applied the above formula in order to find out the discount rate

Which of the following statements is true?a. Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no eff
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV.

Explanation:

Accelerated depreciation is a form of accounting and taxation used in the first years of an asset to allow greater deductions. On the other hand, the deductions are distributed evenly throughout the life of the asset using the Straight-line Depreciation method. Accelerated depreciation facilitates higher expenses to be incurred during the first years of an asset while in use, and lower expenses years later, as long as the asset depreciates.

In that sense, when it comes to the total projected cash flow of a company on a project, neither the accelerated depreciation or the straight-line method would affect it but both of them have impact on the timing of the cash flows since accelerated depreciation demands higher expenses since the beginning of the possession of the assets while the straight-line method keeps the expenses steady. Both, also affect the net present value (NPV) of the company since with the accelerated depreciation the cash flow will be less and with the straight-line method it should be constant.
