Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000 × 1.04 × 1.06) $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %) ($44,096)

Net sales $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03) ($1,133,000)

Gross profit $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10) ($522,500)

Depreciation ($25,000)

Net income $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

Your neighborhood self-service laundry is for sale and you consider investing in this business. For the business alone and no ot

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The complete present value calcuation is below.

The net present value of this project is: $77,930.58 (assuming a value for the sale of the business equal to the purchase price).

Explanation:

For this problem, the first and basic question is:

<em>Prepare a net present value calculation for this project. What is the net present value of this project?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The net present value is equal to: the present value of the future cash flows less present value of the investements.

<u>1. Present value of the future cash flows:</u>

The discount factor is equal to 1 / [1 + (1 + r)ⁿ]

Where:

r = 5% = 0.05
n = the number of year

Year Cash flow Discount factor Present value

1 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05) $30,000/1.05 = $28,571.43

2 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)² $30,000/(1.05)² = $27,210.88

3 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)³ $30,000/(1.05)³ = $25,915.13

4 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)⁴ $30,000/(1.05)⁴ = $24,681.07

5 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)⁵ $30,000/(1.05)⁵ = $23,505.78

5 $240,000* 1/(1 + 0.05)⁵ $240,000/(1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

*For the year 5 you must also consider the value of the business, which is unknow. You should have some information about it. Although unrealistic, at this stage we can just assume a value: let's say it is the same purchase price: $240,000. That is what the last line shows:

The discount the value of the value of the business is:

$240,000 / (1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

The total present value of the future cash flows is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows:

$28,571.43 + $27,210.88 + $25,915.13 + $24,681.07 + $23,505.78 + $188,046.28 = $317,930.58

<u>2. Calculate the net present value:</u>

Net present value =

= Total present value of future cash flows - investment

Net present value = $317,930.58 - $240,000 = $77,930.58

Why is a price floor set above an equilibrium price tends to cause persistent imbalances in the market?

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

A price floor set above the equilibrium price will result in a surplus of supply.

Explanation.

An equilibrium price refers to the price at which demand for a service or product is equivalent to the quantity of the product or service supplied in the market.

Setting a price floor above the equilibrium price essentially means that the set prices will be higher than what demand is willing to pay for the product or service. Demand will therefore purchase fewer quantity of the product offered by supply at the prevailing price than they would have at equilibrium price.

Since the price floor will raise the product price to considerably higher than the equilibrium price, supply will be willing to provide higher volumes of the product at the prevailing price than at equilibrium price.

This will lead to a mismatch in the market between supply and demand resulting into a surplus.
