NPV $167,675 $2,267

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Machine A Machine B

Cost of machine $565,000 $410,000

Incremental after-tax income 165,000 75,000

Salvage value 25,000 26,000

Estimated useful life 6 years 8 years

Required rate of return 10% 10%

Annuity factor 4.355 5.335

PV factor 0.564 0.467

PV of incremental after-tax income $718,575 $400,125

($165,000*4.355) ($75,000*5.335)

PV of salvage value $14,100 $12,142

Total PV of income $732,675 $412,267

NPV $167,675 $2,267

= Total PV of income minus PV of initial investment cost

Department G had 2,040 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,200 units were completed during the period, 1,700

Margarita [4]

Answer:

18261

Explanation:

The first key-point will be that materials are applied entirely at the begining of the production so this part of the cost is quite easy:

You have an ending inventory of 1,700 units and then you have a given data of $9 per unit for direct materials so mulitply those to get:

ending inventory $15,300 materials cost

Next part will be to calculate the conversion cost.

First step, will be to calculate the conversion cost for the period,

which is direct labor + factory overhead:

78,600 + 26,200 = 104,800

Remember conversion cost = labor + overhead

Second, calculate the equivalent units:

Here we have the data for completed units so we work it like this

Complete units 12200

(this are finished o they count entirely)

+ ending units x percent of completion 1700 x 20% = 340

(this are units we work during this period)

- beginning units x percent of completion (2040) x 5% = (510)

(this are units we don't work on this period,

they are from the previous month,

so we subtract them)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Equivalent units for conversion cost 12030

Third, we are almost there, we will divide this two to get the value of 1 unit of conversion cost

104,800 conversion cost / 12,030 equivalent units = 8.7115 CC per unit

Fourth, calculate the conversion cost for the ending inventory

conversion cost per unit x equivalent units of ending inventory

8.7115 x 340 = 2961

Last Step, we add the materials cost with the conversion cost

15,300 + 2,961 = 18261 VALUE OF ENDING INVENTORY

All of the following factors combine to help determine whether a vehicle is a value except: Low price. High quality. Level of st

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Both low price and high quality.

Explanation:

The characteristics that make a product or service have a perceived value for the consumer, are the various functionalities and benefits that satisfy the needs and desires of the customer. Such benefits are independent of the price of the product or quality, since value is a set of rational or irrational attributes that the consumer perceives, such as the brand image, experience, functionality, product benefits, etc.

Value creation is variable for each consumer group, as each person perceives value as a set of specific attributes that satisfy their desires, so it is not possible to classify low price or high quality as value determinants, as these characteristics change according to the consumer's style.

Therefore, for a company to deliver value to the consumer, it is essential that it conducts segmentation studies and identification of its target audience and from there develop strategies aimed at creating value for its audience.

Name a product that you regularly purchase from a firm that operates in an oligopolistic industry. Explain why the product and f

Alex787 [66]

Explanation:

First of all we need to know the concept of Oligopoly Market. An Oligopoly Market is a firm structure in which many firms are present in the same industry but only few or one or two firms dominate.

So I will take example of Khaadi, which is a brand in Pakistan in the textile industry. There are a lot of other textile companies in there but Khaadi contributes the highest share in the market. The reason that Khaadi fits into the Oligopoly Market structure is its market share and the differentiated products in terms of stitching and sewing. Hand made products of Khaadi gives it an edge.

There are many ads of Khaadi being on aired on the television and the print media. There are a lot of billboards and hoardings of models wearing Khaadi's brand.

The interdependence between Khaadi and other rival firms is, they have both stitched and unstitched variety of fabric, Price range for all the competing firms are almost same but Khaadi has always an edge of being the provider of hand made fabric.
