Answer:
Estimated as Elastic Demand
Explanation:
Elastic demand is where a change in price causes a significant change in demand, therefore 20 hats to 15 hats can be considered significant and we can conclude that it's elastic demand.
Answer:
Total Material cost variance $5,600 favorable
Explanation:
<em>The direct matriculate total variance is he difference between the standard material cost for the actual output achieved and the actual material cost of the same output</em>
Standard materiel cost per unit = 0.25 × $30 = $7.5 per unit
$
5,000 units should have cost (5000× $7.5) = 37,500
but did cost (actual cost 1,000 × $29 <u> 31,900
</u>
Total Material cost variance <u> 5600</u> favorable
Job b will go out of business sooner if their profit is the same as A
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
Answer:
704076 $
Explanation:
Exact statement of the question is:
<em>May 3, 2007, Leven Corp. negotiated a short-term loan of $685,000. The loan is due October 1, 2007, and carries a 6.86% interest rate. Use ordinary interest to calculate the interest. What is the total amount Leven would pay on the maturity date? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)</em>
Solution:
Fro 3rd May to October 1st. 2017 there are 151 days
But 365 days = 1 year
==> 151 days = 151× 1/365 =0.414 years
But we use 1 year as one term
==> 1year = 1T
==> T = 0.414
R= 6.86
P= 685000
A=?
We use formula for the term:
A= P
Where A= ammount at the end of term
P= Loan amount
R= Rate of interest
T= No. of terms
Putting values in this formula;
==> A= 685000×
==> A= 685000 × 1.02784938489=704076 $
