Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Refurbishing materials:
Variable cost= $600
Fixed costs= $18,800
Estimated cost= 600*35 + 18,800= $39,800
Actual cost= 600*32 + 18,800= $38,000
Refurbishing activity variance= Estimated - actual cost
Refurbishing activity variance= 39,800 - 38,000= 1,800 favorable
From the word itself, "values-led" business, this type of businesses are more inclined to doing what is right and moral by promoting values rather than thinking too much about the profit that comes from the sales of the manufactured goods. In the example above, the business leverages in the notion that recycling will lead to lesser pollution to the environment.
Answer: a. The listing agreement they will use
b) Ted's office policy regarding intermediary brokerage
c) Ted's office policy regarding commission splits with "other" brokers
Explanation:
Apart from the fact that the statutory written statement regarding the brokerage services will be presented, it is appropriate for Ted to discuss the following with the sellers.
• The listing agreement they will use
• Ted's office policy regarding intermediary brokerage
• Ted's office policy regarding commission splits with "other" brokers.
These are needed to ensure that both the sellers and the buyer understands each other's stand and the agreement that are in place to ensure a smooth transaction.
Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
