Answer:

- Net present value of each project:

Project A:$37,193

Project B:$4,629

=> Project A should be chosen based on NPV approach as its NPV is higher.

- Internal rate of return of each project:

Project A: 20%

Project B: 12%

=>Project A should be chosen based on IRR approach as its IRR is higher

Explanation:

- Net present value calculation:

NPV for Project A: -111,000 + (37,116/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $37,193

NPV for Project B: -43,000 + (11,929/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $4,629.

- Internal rate of return approach;

IRR is the discount rate that bring NPV of project's cash flows to 0. Thus:

IRR for project A: -111,000 + (37,116/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 20%

IRR for project B: -43,000 + (11,929/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 12%

Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the past experience part, the cash inflows for August will include 8% of June's sales collection, 20% of July's sales collection and 70% of August's sales collection.

Thus, the anticipated collection for August will be:

8% of June' sales = 854000 * 0.08 = 68320

20% of July's sales = 1195600 * 0.2 = 239120
70% of August sales = 1024800 * 0.7 = 717360

Total anticipated collection-August = 68320 + 239120 + 717360 = $1024800

Answer:

Hotel California

a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu

= $100

b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co =

= $200

c) The optimal service level

= 0.33

d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q

= 3

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Charges per room per night (purchase cost) = $200

Charges for last-minute requests per room per night (selling price) - $300

Value of unsold reserved rooms (Salvage value) = $0

Minimum of last-minute customers, Min = 1

Maximum of last-minute customers, Max = 10

a) The cost of reserving too little by one, (the underage cost) Cu = Selling price - Purchasing cost

= $300 - $200

= $100

b) The cost of reserving too much by one, (the overage cost) Co = Purchasing cost - Salvage value

= $200 - $0

= $200

c) The optimal service level = Cu/Co+Cu

= $100/$200 + $100

= $100/$300

= 0.33

d) The number of rooms that should be reserved for last-minute customers, Q

= Cu/Co+Cu (Max - Min) + Min

= 0.33 * (10 - 1) + 1

= 0.33 * (10)

= 3
