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:

 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%

If marijuana were legalized, it is likely that there would be an increase in the demand for marijuana. If demand for marijuana i
Mkey [24]

Answer:

C. Higher prices but lower total revenue from marijuana sales.

Explanation:

The above scenario totally explains inelastic demand. Inelastic demand is when the buyer’s demand does not change as much as the price changes. When price increases by 20% and demand decreases by only 1%, demand is said to be inelastic.

When the price increases, people will still purchase roughly the same amount of the good or service as they did prior to the increase because their needs stay the same. A similar situation exists when there is a decrease in price demand will not increase substantially because consumers only have a limited need for the product.

GaryK [48]

Answer:   Higgins should report this litigation as a contingent liability.

Explanation: A liability that is contingent upon an event, that is, dependent on a future event that may or may not happen is called contingent liability. Potential law suits, pending investigations are some of the examples of contingent liability.

A contingent liability will only be recorded if there is likely probability that the event on which such liability depends will occur and the amount of liability could be reasonably estimated.

1. The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables.
Archy [21]

Answer:

These two options represent nominal values:

-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.

-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.

They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.

This option represents real value:

-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.

The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.

In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.

Explanation:

At 4,000 units the unit cost for the fixed manufacturing overhead is 2.90 dollars

We multiply it by 4,000 to know the total amount

$2.90 x 4,000 units = $ 11,600
