A person's website specializes in the sale of rare or unusual vegetable seeds. He sells packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Explanation:

Let x packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.16 each and y packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16-packet mixed pepper assortment for $3.33 per packet,

i.e. x + y = 16 ..........(1)

Also,

The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0

⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0 ........(2)

Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)

0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72

2.08y = 18.72

⇒ y = 9

From equation (1),

x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7

Hence, there are 7 packets of sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Norris Co. has developed an improved version of its most popular product. To get this improvement to the market, will cost $48 m

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$1.0725 Million

Explanation:

So now

Net Present Value = Annuity value of the even cash inflow - Investment

Here

Investment is $48 Million

Annuity Value of $13.5 Million Cash Inflow = $13.5 Million * Annuity factor for 5 years at 11.66%

Annuity factor = (1 - (1 + r)^ -n) / r

Here

r is 11.66% (Step1) and n is 5 years

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 11.66%)^-5) / 11.66%

Annuity Factor = 3.635

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $13.5 Million * 3.635 - $48 Million

NPV = $1.0725 Million

Step1: Find r which Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

Weighted Average Cost of capital

= Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity) * After tax cost of debt PLUS

(Value of equity (Value of Debt / (V of debt + V of equity) * cost of equity

Here

Post tax cost of debt = Pre tax cost of debt * (1 + Tax rate)

Post tax cost of debt = 9% * (1- 30%) = 6.3%

The debt to equity ratio is 25% which means equity is 100% and debt is 25%.

So

Value of debt is 25%

value of equity is 100%

and total value of capital structure is 125%

This means

WACC = (25% / 125% * 6.3%) + (100% / 125% * 13%)

= 1.26% + 10.4% = 11.66%
