Answer:

1.64 years

2.27 years

3.13 years

Explanation:

Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -5800 + 3805.31 = -1994.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2 =-1994.69 + 3132.59 = 1137.90

Payback period = 1 + 1994.69/3132.59 = 1.64 years

B

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -7900 + 3805.31 = -4094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -4094.69 + 3132.59 = -962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -962.10 + 3603.86 = 2641.76

Payback period = 2 years + -962.10 / 3603.86 = 2.27 years

C

Present value of cash flow in year 1 = 4300 / 1.13 = 3805.31

Amount recovered in year 1  = -10900 + 3805.31 = -7094.69

Present value of cash flow in year 2 = 4000 / (1.13^2) = 3132.59

Amount recovered in year 2  = -7094.69 + 3132.59 = -3962.10

Present value of cash flow in year 3 = 5200 / (1.13^3) = 3603.86

Amount recovered in year 3  = -3962.10 + 3603.86 = -358.24

Present value in year 4 =  4400 / (1.13^4) = 2698.60

Amount recovered in year 4  = -358.24 + 2698.60 = 2340.36

Payback period = 3 years + 358.24 + 2698.60 = 3.13 years

Mazeppa Corporation sells relays at a selling price of $28 per unit. The company's cost per unit, based on full capacity of 160,
ella [17]

Answer:

a. $20.00

b. $28,75

Explanation:

Find the total incremental costs to satisfy the special order and add $2.00 profit (because we are aiming for a profit not to just break-even).

<u>Calculation of Total Incremental Unit Costs</u>

Direct materials                                          $6 .00

Direct labor                                                 $4.00

Variable Overheads (2/3 × $9)                  $6.00

Shipping Cost                                             $2.00

Total Incremental Unit Cost                      $18.00

<em>Add</em> Profit Element                                     $2.00

Unit Selling Price for the Special Order  $20.00

In this case no changes will occur on fixed overheads, hence it is irrelevant.

<u>Calculation of Desired Net Operating Income</u>

Sales ($28 × 160,000 units)                                     $4,480,000

Less Product Costs :

Direct materials ($6 .00 × 160,000 units)                 ($960,000)

Direct labor ($4.00 × 160,000 units)                        ($640,000)

Variable Overheads ($6.00 × 160,000 units)          ($960,000)

Fixed Overheads ($3.00 × 160,000 units)               ($480,000)

Current Operating Income                                       $1,440,000

Add Desired Increase in Operating Income               $60,000

Desired Operating Income                                      $1,500,000

Unit Profit = $1,500,000 ÷ 160,000 units

                  = $9.375

Unit Profit = Unit Selling Price - Total Unit Costs - Unit Incremental Profit

therefore,

Unit Selling Price = Unit Profit  + Total Unit Costs + Unit Incremental Profit

                             = $9.375 + $19.00 + $0.375

                             = $28,75
