diamong [38]

Answer:

5375

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Fixed assets costing = $962000

Annual fixed costs = $403400

Variable cost per unit = $123.60

Sales price per unit = $249.00

Discount rate = 14%

Tax rate = 21%

The contribution per unit = Sales price - Variable cost

= $(249.00 - 123.60)

= $125.40

The present value break-even point(BEP) is the region of sales level where the net present value (NPV) equals zero.

Assuming that the sales level = p

i.e.

NPV = PV(of inflows - of outflows)

Inflows = (p * contribution per unit - annual fixed cost)( 1- tax rate) + depreciation * tax rate

= (p * 125.4 - 403400) ( 1 - 0.21) + depreciation * tax rate

where;

depreciation = initial fixed assest cost/ lifetime of the project

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (962000/6)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + (160333.33)*0.21

= (125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670

Now, the PV of the inflows =PV factor(6 years, 14%) * inflows

$= inflows * \dfrac{( 1-(1.14)^{-6})}{0.14}$

$= inflows * 3.8887$

Replacing the value for inflows, we have:

$=((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887$

The PV of the outflows = Initial Fixed asset cost = $962000

∴

Equating both together using:

PV(of inflows - of outflows) = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 - 962000 = 0

((125.4p - 403400)*0.79 + 33670)* 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 318686 + 33670) * 3.8887 = 962000

(99.066p - 285016) * 3.8887 = 962000

385.24p - 1108341.72 = 962000

385.24p= 962000 + 1108341.72

385.24p= 2070341.72

p = 2070341.72 / 385.24

p ≅ 5375

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Future value = 16007.81437

Explanation:

we have to compound all the rates for the time period together as the 7,750 as exposed to this rate and their interest generated in one period are taking into consideration for the subsequent period interest calculations.

$7,750 (1.06)^3(1.066)^2(1.073)^6 = FV$

We multiply them and get the future value factor:

$7,750 \times 2.065524435 = FV$

we now can solve for future value:

Future value = 16007.81437

What are the weaknesses of the cash payback approach? A. It uses accrual-based accounting numbers B. It ignores the time value o

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D. Both (B) and (C) are true

Explanation:

Cash payback approach is helpful to know the number of years, project would take to recover the initial investment. It could be calculated by dividing initial investment by cash flow per year. It is very simple and easy approach to compare projects and find number of years to recover the initial investment. The most serious weekness of cash payback approach is, it ignore the time value for the money, it also ignore project profitablity and project`s return on investment. As according to cash payback approach, it consider projects with short payback time as profitable and thus ignore useful life of alternative projects.

Assume the demand for crack cocaine is inelastic and that users get the funds to pay for their crack by stealing. Suppose that t

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Total Revenue of Cocaine will increase.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is demand responsiveness to price change.

Price & Total Revenue have relationships as per Elasticity of Demand :

Elastic Demand >1 : Change in quantity demanded > change in price ; Price & Total Revenue negatively related.
Inelastic Demand < 1 : Change in quantity demanded < price change ; Price & Total Revenue positively related

Given : Demand for crack cocaine is inelastic. If government increases penalties on cocaine supply, number of dealers decrease.

Then , the supply of cocaine will fall. Supply Shortage will increase the price. However - because demand is inelastic , total revenue will increase as a result of price rise.

salantis [7]

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: equity.

Explanation:

People expect the government to implement policies that will boost the overall economy and that will provide equal opportunities. Though, sometimes certain criteria must be met so those policies can apply. This causes people who are not eligible to access the policies' benefits to believing the regulation itself does not have an equity principle.
