Answer:

Need not make any special disclosure

Explanation:

The reason is that it is not a parent-subsidiary transaction which means if the group as a whole trade with each other then they must add a special disclosure in the financial statement otherwise it must be neglected. The company must not specially disclose small borrowings from the lenders when it is presenting that figure in the financial statement borrowing figures.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See explanation section.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

At first we have to find the original net income.

Shelhorse Corporation

Contribution format income statement

For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,100 × $260) = $1,586,000

Less: Variable expense (6,100 × $91) = $555,100

Contribution Margin = $1,030,900

Less: Fixed Expense $366,000

Net Operating Income = $664,900

Requirement 2

As the marketing manager believes that a $23,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 150 unit increase in monthly sales, the new sales volume = 6,100 + 150 = 6,250 and new fixed expense = $366,000 + $23,000 = $389,000

Shelhorse Corporation

Contribution format income statement

For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,250 × $260) = $1,625,000

Less: Variable expense (6,250 × $91) = $568,750

Contribution Margin = $1,056,250

Less: Fixed Expense = $389,000

Net Operating Income = $667,250

The effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change = $667,250 - $664,900 = $2,350

A firm is considering two mutually exclusive projects, X and Y, with the following cash flows:

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: MIRR (project x ) = 3.42% , Project Y = 4.51%

Explanation:

Modified internal Rate of return

Project X

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $100 year 1 , $280 year 2 , 370 year 3 ,$700 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = 100/(1+0.08)^1 + 280/(1+0.08)^2 + 370/(1+0.08)^3 + $700/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 95.592592593 + 240.05486968 + 293.71792918 + 514.5208969

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $1143.8862884

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1143.8862884}{10000} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.034178971

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 3.41789971 = 3.42%

Project Y

Period (n) = 4

Weighted Average Cost of equity(WACC) = 8.0%

Cash out flow = -$1000

Cash Inflows = $1100 year 1 , $110 year 2 , $50 year 3 ,$55 year 4

Present Value Cash Inflows = PVCIF = Cash Inflow/(1+WACC)^n

PVCIF = $1100/(1+0.08)^1 + $110/(1+0.08)^2 + $50/(1+0.08)^3 + $55/(1+0.08)^4

PVCIF = 1018.5185185 + 94.307270233 + 39.691612051 + 40.42641904

Present Value of Cash inflows (PVCIF) = $10192.9438198

Present Value of Cash out flows(PVCOF) = -$1000

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[n]{\frac{PVCIF}{PVCOF} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1192.9438198}{10000} } -1$

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = 0.0450931421

Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) = = 4.50931421 = 4.51%
