The answer to this question is <span>diminishing market opportunities and stagnating sales in its principal business.
Companies should only consider diversification if the previous product that thye make is already succesful and they have enough capital to pursue another segment of the market. If the sales is still stagnant,  it best to use the capital to reinvest in the current product until the growth is assured. (or even just stop the production for that product and start pursuing another)</span>

ra1l [238]

Question:

The Stanton Stationery Shoppe wants to acquire The Carlysle Card Gallery for $450,000. Stanton expects the merger to provide incremental earnings of about $70,000 a year for 10 years. Carol Stanton has calculated the marginal cost of capital for this investment to be 8%. Conduct a capital budgeting analysis to determine whether she should purchase The Carlysle Card Gallery.

Answer:

Capital Budgeting Analysis is a process of evaluating how we invest in capital assets; i.e. assets that provide cash flow benefits for more than one year.

An organization has to take many decisions regarding the expansion of business and investment. To do that, they will require the help of NPV method and base its decision on the same.

Net present value is used in Capital budgeting to analyze the profitability of a project or investment. It is calculated by taking the difference between the present value of cash inflows and present value of cash outflows over a period of time.

As the name suggests, net present value is nothing but net off of the present value of cash inflows and outflows by discounting the flows at a specified rate.

From the question the following are given:

  1. Capital Expenditure = $450,000
  2. Useful life of expenditure = 10 years
  3. Annual return from expenditure = $70,000
  4. Marginal cost of Capital = 8%

Step 1:                                  

It's formula is given as:

Formula for NPV

NPV = (Cash flows)/( 1+r)i

<em>Where</em>

i- Initial Investment

Cash flows= Cash flows in the time period

r  = Discount rate

i = time period

Computing with a spreadsheet, the Net Present Value of the Investment is given at $ 19,706.

Kindly see attached spreadsheet.

Judgement: Since the NPV is positive the investment is profitable and hence Nice Ltd can go ahead with the expansion.

Cheers!

The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method: Multiple Choice Are acceptable for t
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method:

Produce the same total depreciation over an asset's useful life.

Explanation:

The straight-line and the double-declining-balance depreciation methods are two of the four depreciation methods allowed by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The other two methods are sum of the years' digit and units of production.  The straight-line method is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset's cost and either dividing the depreciable amount by the number of years or applying a fixed rate on the depreciable amount.  For the double-declining-balance method, 100% is divided by the number of years of the asset's useful life and then multiplying by 2 to obtain the depreciation rate.  Depreciation expense is then calculated on the declining balance until the salvage value is left.  This is why they produce the same depreciation over the asset's useful life.

You need some money today and the only friend you have that has any is your ‘miserly' friend. He agrees to loan you the money yo
Bingel [31]

Answer:

B. The total interest = $4.35

Explanation:

The first question to answer, is  what is the present value of the annuity of the loan and then based on that the total interest can be calculated.

<h2>Present value of annuity= A x [(1-(1+r)-n)/r]*(1+r) </h2>

Where the A represents Annuity = or $20

The r represents the rate or 1.5%

and the n represents the number of periods which is 6 months

Calculating the value =

= 20 x [(1-1.015^-6)/0.015]*1.015

= 20 x [(1-0.91454219251)/0.015]*1.015

= 20*5.782644973

=$115.65

Now that the loan amount is known, the Total Interest can be calculated as follows

Total Interest= number of payments x monthly payments) - the loan amount (calculated above)

= 20 x 6 -115.65

= 120-115.65

The total interest = $4.35
