Answer:

Proposal B should be accepted

Explanation:

                                             1              2                3              4

Sales(Units)                     20,000    30,000     40,000     50,000  

Variable Cost (A)            160,000   240,000  320,000   400,000- 15,000  

Variable Cost (B)            52,000     78,000    104,000    130,000 - 32,000  

PV Factor(9%)                   0.917        0.841      0.772        0.708  

PV OF Variable Cost(A)  146,720   201,840   247,040    272,580  

PV of Variable Cost(B)   47,684      65,598    80,288     69,384  

Total PV of Variable Cost of A: $868,180

Total PV of Variable Cost of B: $262,954

Difference in PV of Expenses= $605,226

Difference in PV of Outflow = 280,000 - 120,000 = $160,000

So, Proposal B should be accepted because it has a cost saving of Net $445,226 (605,226 - 160,000).

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6.

Explanation:

Holding stock of a Public company entitles you to a potential return on your investment which can be in the form of Capital Appreciation/Gain, that is buying at low and selling at high, or Dividends received. In the given question, we are not required to calculate total return rather capital gain, simply the difference between purchase price and selling price, so there is no need to account for dividends. The formula for Capital Gain is given below:

                Capital Gain / Appreciation = Selling Price - Purchase Price

⇒ Capital Gain = 38 - 32 = $6.
