Answer:

payback period = 4.86 years

Explanation:

given data

cash flows year 1 = $30,000 per year

cash flows year 5 = $35,000 per year

cash flows year 10 = $40,000 per year

investment cost = $150,000

to find out

payback period for this investment

solution

we get here accumulated inflows will be

accumulated inflows year 4 =  $30,000 × 4

accumulated inflows year 4 = $120,000

and

accumulated inflows year 5 = $120,000 + $35,000 = $155,000

and Initial investment = $150,000

so payback period will be

payback period = 4 years + (150,000 - 120,000)  ÷ 35,000 × 365 days

payback period = 4 years and 313 days

payback period = 4.86 years

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model or CAPM for short can be used to calculate expected return in the following manner,

Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)

Rf = Risk free rate

B = Beta

Rm= Market return.

Plugging the figures in we have

Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)

= 0.04 + 1(0.1 - 0.04)

= 0.1

= 10%

Tanek Corp.’s sales slumped badly in 2017. For the first time in its history, it operated at a loss. The company’s income statem
Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Break-even point in dollar for 2017

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost)/Sales

C.M Ratio = $(2,500,000-1,750,000)/2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.30 or 30%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.30

= $2,833,333.33

<u>Alternative 1</u>

<em>Sales Price per unit after increasing 20%,</em>

Sales Price = ($5*0.2) + $5 = $6

Total Sales ($) = (Sales Price x Sales Units)

Total Sales ($) = ($6*500,000) =$3,000,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($3,000,000- $1,750,000)/$3,000,000

C.M Ratio = 0.42 or 42%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.42

= $2,023,809.52

<u>Alternative 2</u>

<em>Commission</em> = $2,500,000*5% = $125,000

Change in fixed annual salaries = $150,000-$60,000 = $90,000

Total fixed costs after deducting the changes in fixed salaries = $850,000-$90,000 = $760,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost - Commission on sales)/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($2,500,000-$1,750,000-$125,000)/$2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

Sales = $2,500,000

Sales Unit = $2,500,000/500,000 = $5

Variable Cost = 1,750,000

Fixed costs = $850,000

There are some 200 economic integration agreements around the world today, far more than a few years ago.NAFTA, EU, Asean etc. V
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.  

Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area,  free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains.  A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.
