Winston Clinic is evaluating a project that costs $52, 125 and has expected net cash inflows of $12,000 per year for eight years

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Payback period (years): 4.23 years

NPV: $6,685

IRR: 16%

MIRR: 14%

The project is financially acceptable because IRR and MIRR is greater than cost of capital

Explanation:

Payback period is calculating the number of year when cash inflow can cover cash outflow (regardless the present value of cash inflow).

As we can easily estimate, cash inflow in 5 year can cover the investment.

Then payback period = 4 years + 12000/52,125 = 4.23 years

We can use excel to calculate NPV, IRR, MIRR in the formula as below

Net present value of project: NPV=(discounting rate, cash outflow, cash inflow) = (12%, -52125,12000,12000......,12000) = $6,685

Internal rate of return: IRR= (cash outflow, cash inflow) = ( -52125,12000,12000,......,12000) = 16%

Modified internal rate of return: MIRR = (cash outflow, cash inflow, IRR, cost of capital) = (-52125,12000,12000......,12000,16%,12%) = 14%

The Duerr Company manufactures a single product. All raw materials used are traceable to specific units of product. Current info

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Direct material used= $102,000

Cost of goods manufactured= $327,000

COGS= $347,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of direct material used:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 28,000 + 105,000 - 31,000

Direct material used= $102,000

Now, the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 102,000 + 130,000 + 105,000 - 50,000

cost of goods manufactured= $327,000

Finally, the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 80,000 + 327,000 - 60,000

COGS= $347,000

D. cascade down

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that this is an example of MBO working as objectives cascade down through the organization. This can be said since the organizational goals/objectives start at the top of the organization (executives and managers) and move down through the organizational hierarchy to the lower level employees. Thus cascading down.
