Nikolay [14]

Answer: $42

Explanation:

Value can be found using the Gordon Growth model;

= (Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate)) / ( required return - growth rate)

Growth rate = Retention ratio * Return on equity

= 40% * 30%

= 12%

Value = (1.50 * 1.12)/ ( 16% - 12%)

= $42

Paige Company

Production Budget For the six months ended December 31, 2020

Expected unit sales 11,100 12,300

Add: Desired ending finished goods

2,706 2,706

(22%*$12,300)

Total required units 13,806 15,006

(11,100+2,706) (12,300+2,706)

Less: Beginning finished goods inventory

2,442 2,706

(22%*11,100) (22%*12,300)

Required production units 8,656 9,594

(11,100-2,442) (12,300+2,706)

Six Months: $18,250

(8,656 +9,594)

Therefore the production budget by quarters for the first 6 months of 2020 will be $18,250

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

a) NPV = $43,874.65

b) IRR = 24.37%

c) payback period = 5.33 years

d) equivalent annual cost = $6,024.55

e) equivalent annual savings = $13,298.61

f) since the NPV is positive, the equivalent annual savings must be higher than the equivalent annual costs

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 = -$45,000

net savings year 1 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $2) = $7,000

net savings year 2 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $2.50) = $9,100

net savings year 3 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $3) = $11,200

net savings years 4 - 20 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $3.50) = $13,300

discount rate = 12%

using a financial calculator:

NPV = $43,874.65

IRR = 24.37%

payback period = 5.33 years

equivalent annual cost = (present value of costs x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] =[($45,000 + $10,457.22) x 12%] / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = $6,654.87 / 0.89633 = $7,424.57

equivalent annual savings = (present value of savings x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = ($99,332.87 x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = $11,919.94 / 0.89633 = $13,298.61
