marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 40 pounds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Ordering cost = $10 / order

Carrying cost = 4 cents per pound per day

Cost of pepperoni = $3 per pound

Daily demand = 20 pounds

Order quantity = 80 pounds

Average inventory level at the time in which 80 pounds of pepperoni was ordered is given as

Average inventory level is given as :

Order quantity / 2

80 pounds / 2 = 40 pounds

Your neighborhood self-service laundry is for sale and you consider investing in this business. For the business alone and no ot

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The complete present value calcuation is below.

The net present value of this project is: $77,930.58 (assuming a value for the sale of the business equal to the purchase price).

Explanation:

For this problem, the first and basic question is:

<em>Prepare a net present value calculation for this project. What is the net present value of this project?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

The net present value is equal to: the present value of the future cash flows less present value of the investements.

<u>1. Present value of the future cash flows:</u>

The discount factor is equal to 1 / [1 + (1 + r)ⁿ]

Where:

r = 5% = 0.05
n = the number of year

Year Cash flow Discount factor Present value

1 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05) $30,000/1.05 = $28,571.43

2 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)² $30,000/(1.05)² = $27,210.88

3 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)³ $30,000/(1.05)³ = $25,915.13

4 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)⁴ $30,000/(1.05)⁴ = $24,681.07

5 $30,000 1/(1 + 0.05)⁵ $30,000/(1.05)⁵ = $23,505.78

5 $240,000* 1/(1 + 0.05)⁵ $240,000/(1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

*For the year 5 you must also consider the value of the business, which is unknow. You should have some information about it. Although unrealistic, at this stage we can just assume a value: let's say it is the same purchase price: $240,000. That is what the last line shows:

The discount the value of the value of the business is:

$240,000 / (1.05)⁵ = $188,046.28

The total present value of the future cash flows is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows:

$28,571.43 + $27,210.88 + $25,915.13 + $24,681.07 + $23,505.78 + $188,046.28 = $317,930.58

<u>2. Calculate the net present value:</u>

Net present value =

= Total present value of future cash flows - investment

Net present value = $317,930.58 - $240,000 = $77,930.58

In mid-2015, Qualcomm Inc. had $13 billion in debt, total equity market value of $87 billion and an equity beta of 1.41. Include

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A) Qualcomm's enterprise value= $95 billion

B) Asset Beta of Qualcomm’s business = 1.29

C) Qualcomm's WACC= 7.931%

Explanation:

The question relates to Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) which is used to calculate the required return from an investment given the level of risk associated with the investment. Now there are many risk that the level of cash flows and hence the required return from an investment such as systematic and unsystematic risks, business and finance risks etc.

The requirements of the question are as follows:

a)What is Qualcomm’s enterprise value?

b)What is the beta of Qualcomm’s business assets?

c)What is Qualcomm’s WACC?

The first two requirements will help us compute requirement C so we begin solving it form A as follows:

A) Qualcomm's enterprise value= ve- vd +va

ve= value of equity

vd= value of debt

va= value of asset

Qualcomm's enterprise value= $87b - $13b +$21b

Qualcomm's enterprise value= $95 billion

B) Beta of Qualcomm’s business assets:

Now beta is an index used to measure systematic risks (risks posed by macro-economic factors such as tax, interest rates etc). There are two beta indexes, asset beta and equity beta. Asset beta measures business risks only and equity beta measures both business and finance risks. In the question we already have equity beta so we need to calculate asset beta in order to compute Qualomm's WACC.

ba = be× ve/enterprise value

ba = asset beta

be= equity beta

ba= 1.41× $87÷$95

Beta of Qualcomm's business= 1.29

C) Qualcomm’s WACC:

The formula is as follows:

Ke= Rf + (market premium)× ba

ke = WACC

Rf= risk free rate of interest

ba= asset beta

ke= 2.9% + (3.9% ×1.29)

ke/WACC= 7.931%

Generally speaking, a narrow span of management implies that the height of the organization will be ____; a wide span of managem

Pani-rosa [81]

<span>a narrow span of management implies that the height of the organization will be long; a wide span of management implies that the height of the organization will be short.

This is because in a narrow span of management, less people work under each manager and therefore, there will be more levels of hierarchy making the height of the organization longer and the vice versa applies.
