Answer:

a) $3,458

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of future cash flows discounted at the firm's weighted average cost of capital(which is the appropriate discount rate in this case) minus the initial investment outlay

cost of equity=risk-free rate+beta*(expected market return-risk free rate)

cost of equity=2.5%+1.5*(12%-2.5%)

cost of equity=16.75%

after-tax cost of debt=5.2%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=4.11%

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=value of equity/(value of equity+value of debt)

value of equity=6 billion*$3=$18 billion

value of debt=$5 billion

weight of equity=$18 billion/($18 billion+$5 billion)

weight of equity=78.26%

weight of debt=1-78.26%

weight of debt=21.74%

WACC=(78.26%*16.75%)+(21.74%*4.11%)

WACC=14.00%

present value of a future cash flow=future cash flow/(1+WACC)^n

n is the year in which the cash flow is expected, it is 1 for year 1 cash flow, 2 for year 2 cash flow ,and so on

NPV of project B=1000/(1+14%)^1+1000/(1+14%)^2++4000/(1+14%)^3+1000/(1+14%)^4+1000/(1+14%)^5-2000

NPV of project B=$ 3,458.00

Practice Question 25 Which one of the following is an effective method of evaluating a cost center? Compare actual total costs w
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C). Compare actual controllable costs with flexible budget data.

Explanation:

The Cost center is very crucial to be determined by an organization as it indirectly bestows its profitability. It is usually calculated by comparing the actual cost generated by the department to the expectations as per the budgeted cost. Thus, the most constructive method to evaluate a cost center would be the 'comparison between the actual controllable costs and the flexible budget data' as it helps in assessing the actual expense incurred during the year and whether it is lesser or greater than the cost estimated in the budget. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

McKinney Corporation had beginning retained earnings of $2,242,000 and ending retained earnings of $2,499,000. During the year t
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Net income for the year = $257,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings for the year= Net income - dividends paid.

Since no dividends were paid, retained earnings for the year = net income for the year. At the end of each accounting period, retained earnings are reported on the balance sheet, and the retained profits for the year are added to the beginning balance of retained earnings, to give a cumulative ending balance of  $2,499,000.

therefore retained earnings for the year = ending retained earnings balance  - beginning retained earnings balance = $2,499,000.-$2,242,000= $257,000.

Net income for the year is  thus =  $257,000 since no dividends were paid.

LO 7.3Which is not a section of the cash budget?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

allowance for uncollectible accounts

Explanation:

The cash budget represents the cash inflow and cash outflow position with respect of cash receipts and cash payments i.e cash disbursement plus it also involves financing needs i.e how much amount is to be borrowed

But it does not involve the allowance for uncollectible accounts  as it is not shown in the cash budget because it is shown under the debtors side with the negative amount of the balance sheet

Like

Assets

Current Assets

Account receivable                                             XXXXX

Less: Allowance for uncollectible accounts       XXXXX  

Net account receivable                                      XXXXX

Bill currently uses his entire budget to purchase 5 cans of Pepsi and 3 hamburgers per week. The price of Pepsi is $1 per can, t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

INCREASE the consumption of Pepsi and REDUCE the consumption of Hamburger

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that Bill uses his whole budget to purchase the following :

5 cans of Pepsi

3 Hamburgers per week

And the following were the price:

Pepsi costs $1 per can

Hamburger cost $2

Bill marginal utility:

Pepsi 4

Hamburgers 6

Based on the above details this means that Bill could increase his utility by INCREASING Pepsi consumption and REDUCING hamburger consumption reason been that 5 cans of Pepsi costs $1 per can which will gives us income of $5 ($5×1) while 3 Hamburgers per week cost $2 which will give us income of $6 ($3×2) which typically means that the Hamburgers has more income that Pepsi.

Secondly since the marginal utility for Pepsi is 4 while that of Hamburgers is 6 which means that Hamburgers has higher MARGINAL UTILITY than that of Pepsi because the consumption of Hamburgers is higher than the consumption of Pepsi.

Therefore the best thing that Bill could do in order to increase his Pepsi utility is for Bill to increase Pepsi consumption and reduce hamburger consumption.
