Ursus, Inc., is considering a project that would have a five-year life and would require a $2,400,000 investment in equipment. A

t the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would have no salvage value. The project would provide net operating income each year as follows (Ignore income taxes.):
Sales $ 3,500,000
Variable expenses 2,100,000
Contribution margin 1,400,000
Fixed expenses:
Fixed out-of-pocket cash expenses $ 600,000
Depreciation 480,000 1,080,000
Net operating income $ 320,000
Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.

All of the above items, except for depreciation, represent cash flows. The company's required rate of return is 14%.

Required:

a. Compute the project's net present value. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

b. Compute the project's internal rate of return. (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percent.)

c. Compute the project's payback period. (Round your answer to 2 decimal place.)

d. Compute the project's simple rate of return. (Round your final answer to the nearest whole percent.)

Answer:

Part 1. NPV $346,465

Part 2. IRR is 19.8%

Part 3. 3 Years

Part 4. 13.33%

Explanation:

<u>Part 1.</u>

               NPV                                 $346,465

   

<u>Part 2.</u>

 0     -2,400,000  1.0000     -2,400,000          1.0000          -2400,000

 4      800,000  0.5921        473,664          0.4823          385,802

 5      800,000  0.5194       <u> 415,495 </u>         0.4019            <u> 321,502</u>

                             NPV              $346,465                                    -$7510

IRR can be calculated by using the following formula:

IRR = R at lower %age  + (R at Higher %age - R at Lower %age) * NPV at lower Percentage / (NPV at Higher %age - NPV at Lower %age)

Now by putting values, we have:

IRR = 14%   +  (20% - 14%)  *  346,465 / (346,465 +  7510)

IRR = 14%   +  5.8%  = 19.8%

<u>Part 3.</u>

Now by putting values, we have:

Payback Period = Initial Investment / Cash flow Per Period

Payback Period = $2,400,000 / $800,000  =  3 Years

<u>Part 4.</u>

As we know that:

Simple Rate Of Return = Net operating income ÷ Initial investment

Now by putting values, we have:

Simple Rate Of Return = $320,000 / $2,400,000 = 13.33%

Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given <em>S</em> is a set of complex number of the form a+bi where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are integers.

z\in S is a unit if w\in z exists such that zw=1.

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

zw = 1

Taking modulus both sides:

|zw| = |1|

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|

So,

|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}......... (1)

Let z=a+bi

Then modulus of z is   |z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Given that a and b are <em>integers</em>, so the equation (1) can be true only when |z| = |w| =1 (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) ,  (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

Kristen Lu purchased a used automobile for $16,750 at the beginning of last year and incurred the following operating costs:
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The average operating cost is $0.46 per mile

In deciding whether to to her use her own car or rent a car the costs are analysed below:

Variable operating cost is a relevant cost

Depreciation is not relevant as it is already cost and also it is sunk cost

insurance is not relevant as well

automobile tax and license is not relevant as it would be paid regardless of the option chosen

Explanation:

The average cost comprises of the variable operating cost per mile as well as the fixed operating cost per mile

variable operating cost per mile is $0.06

fixed cost operating cost=fixed costs/total miles driven=($3,350+$1,700+$900+$450)/16000=$6400 /16000=$0.40

average cost per mile=$0.06+$0.40=$0.46

: i can't believe it! now our pay depends on meeting goals! doesn't effort count for anything anymore? i have the same goals tha
viva [34]

Setting the pay according to the goals achieved by a group may not be considered beneficial to everyone, thus decreasing motivation. Pay-for-performance or according to individual performance may help motivate the employee but increasing individuality in terms of performance may also decrease group cohesiveness or group-related values. The speaker here shows depreciation by undervaluing another's work to overvalue or protect one's own.
