Park Co is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $28,245 and provides expected cash inflows of $9,300 annually for four years. Assume Park Co requires a 7% return on its investments.
What is the net present value of this investment?
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
The present value (PV) of the annual expected cash inflows of $9,300 can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV of the annual expected cash inflows = Annual expected cash inflows * ((1 - (1 / (1 + rate of returns))^number of years) / rate of returns) = $9,300 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.07))^4) / 0.07) = $31,501.06
Net present value = PV of the annual expected cash inflows – Required immediate payment for the investment = $31,501.06 - $28,245 = $3,256.06
Therefore, the net present value of this investment is $3,256.06.
Management of Carla Vista Home Furnishings is considering acquiring a new machine that can create customized window treatments. The equipment will cost $199,550 and will generate cash flows of $104,750 over each of the next six years. If the cost of capital is 13 percent, what is the MIRR on this project
Answer:
MIRR = 27.85%
Explanation:
Below is the calculations:
The cost of equipment, Present value = $199550
Generate cash flow each year = $104750
Time = 6 years
Now find the future value of annual cash flow = 104750 (F/A , 13%, 6)
The future value of annual cash flow =104750 x 8.3227
The future value of annual cash flow = $871802.825
Now find the MIRR = (871802.825 / 199550)^(1/6)-1
MIRR = (4.3688)^(1/6)-1
MIRR = 27.85%
The real interest rate is 3 percent, the inflation rate is 2 percent, and the tax rate on nominal interest is 25 percent. What is the true income tax rate on interest income? Why does inflation increase the true tax rate on interest income?
Answer:
True income tax on interest income:
= Tax on interest income / Real interest rate
Tax on interest income = Tax rate * Nominal interest
= 25% * (3% real rate + 2% inflation)
= 25% * 5%
= 1.25%
True income tax:
= 1.25% / 3%
= 41.67%
Why does inflation increase the true tax rate on interest income?
It is because tax is computed on the nominal interest rate as shown above. Nominal rates are affected by inflation such that when inflation rises, nominal rates rise as well which would lead to taxes being higher because they are now based on a higher figure.

The above per unit data are based on annual production of 3,000 units of the component. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The company has received a special, one-time-only order for 200 units of component S06. There would be no variable selling expense on this special order and the total fixed manufacturing overhead and fixed selling and administrative expenses of the company would not be affected by the order. If XYZ has excess capacity and can fill the order without cutting back on the production of any product, what is the minimum price per unit below which the company should not accept the special order?
a. $67 per unit
b. $150 per unit
c. $30 per unit
d. $47 per unit
Answer:
c. $30 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum price per unit below which the company should not accept the special order is given below:
Direct materials $26
Direct labor $3
Variable manufacturing overhead $1
minimum price per unit $30
Therefore the option c is correct
Consider the following four investments. a)You invest $3,000 annually in a mutual fund that earns 10 percent annually, and you reinvest all distributions. How much will you have in the account at the end of 20 years
Answer: $171,825
Explanation:
As you invest the same base amount as well as every distribution you receive, this can be said to be an annuity due to the amount being the same and the interest being compounded.
The value at the end of 20 years would be the future value of this annuity and is calculable as follows:
= Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of period - 1) / rate
= 3,000 * ( ( 1 + 10%)²⁰ - 1) / 10%
= $171,824.998
= $171,825
Refer to the demand schedule below: Price ($) Quantity demanded 80 0 70 50 60 100 50 150 40 200 30 250 20 300 10 350 0 400 a. Suppose the price increases from $10 to $20. Demand is (Click to select) and total revenue (Click to select) . b. Suppose the price increases from $30 to $40. Demand is (Click to select) and total revenue (Click to select) . c. Suppose the price increases from $50 to $60. Demand is (Click to select) and total revenue (Click to select) .
Answer:
a. inelastic
increases
b. inelastic
increases
c. elastic
decreases
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes. An increase in price would lead to decrease in total revenue
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one. An increase in price would increase total revenue
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Elasticity when price increases from $10 to $20 : -0.143 / 1 = -0.143
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (300 / 350) - 1 = -0.143
Percentage change in price = (20 /10) - 1 = 1
Demand is inelastic
Elasticity when price increases from $30 to $40 : -0.2 / 0.33 = 0.6
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (200 / 250) - 1 = -0.2
Percentage change in price = (40 /30) - 1 = 0.33
Demand is inelastic
Elasticity when price increases from $50 to $60 : -0.33 / 0.2 = 1.65
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (100 / 150) - 1 = -0.33
Percentage change in price = (60 /50) - 1 = 0.2
Demand is elastic
Coomb's Fashions forecasts sales of $125,000 for the quarter ended December 31. Its gross profit rate is 20% of sales, and its September 30 inventory is $32,500. If the December 31 inventory is targeted at $41,500, budgeted purchases for this quarter should be:
Answer:
Total purchase= $109,000
Explanation:
To calculate the budgeted purchases, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Budgeted purchase:
Production= 125,000*0.8= 100,000
Desired ending inventory= 41,500
Beginning inventory= (32,500)
Total purchase= $109,000
The following partially completed T-accounts summarize transactions for Faaberg Corporation during the year: Raw Materials Work in Process Credit Credit Debit Beginning Balance Debit Beginning Balance 9,000 22,200 5,000 5,200 4,100 6,200 8,500 8,300 Finished Goods Manufacturing Overhead Credit Debit Credit Debit Beginning Balance 20,400 8,300 2,200 22,200 2,800 3,500 3,200 Cost of Goods Sold Debit Wages & Salaries Payable Credit 20,400 Beginning Balance Debit Credit 20,400 2,500 12,000
The direct labor cost was:
a. $20,400
b. $13.100
Answer:
$8,500
Explanation:
The computation of the direct labor cost is given below
The raw material issued should be
= 6,200 + 2,800
= 9,000
The manufacturing overhead applied is 8,300
So, here the amount should be from both work in process and manufacturing overhead
Therefore the remaining amount i.e. $8,500 should be the direct labor cost
Mr. and Mrs. Underhill operate a hardware store in a jurisdiction that levies both a sales tax on retail sales of tangible personalty and an annual personal property tax on business tangibles. The personal property tax is based on book value as of December 31. This year, Mr. and Mrs. Underhill purchased $840,000 of inventory for their store.a. Are Mr. and Mrs. CS required to pay sales tax on the purchase of the inventory?b. How can Mr. and Mrs. CS minimize their personal property tax by controlling the timing of their inventory purchases?A. Minimize inventory on hand as of December 31.
B. Minimize inventory on hand as of March 31.
C. Minimize inventory on hand as of December 1.
D. Minimize inventory on hand as of April 30.
Answer:
a). No.
b). Minimize inventory on hand as of December 31.
Explanation:
As per the details provided, the Underhill couple is not eligible to pay any kind of sales tax while purchasing the inventories for their business. This is because the inventories are not purchased for resale. The sales tax that is levied on the final good(sold to the consumer) includes the tax on inventories indirectly as well. Therefore, charging sales tax on inventories when bought would lead to double tax on a single good. Thus, the answer would be 'No' i.e. option a.
As per the second question, in order to minimize the property taxes the couple requires to 'decrease their purchases associated with inventory on approaching December 31st.' This is due to the rule of 'First In and First Out.' If the inventories on 31st December is restricted, the taxes would be applied on property accordingly but if there's a huge stock, the higher amount of taxes would be levied depending on the property that is being used for the business. Thus, option b is the correct answer.
Consider the following information about production in quarter 1 of 2019. Firm T produces 600 tires at a cost of $28 each, and sells 580 tires to Firm B at a cost of $39 each.Firm B produces 290 bicycles at a total cost of $330 each, and sells 280 bicycles to consumers for $400 each. In this simple economy, what is the value of inventory investment
Answer:
$3,860
Explanation:
Value of stock at the end of Firm T:
Firm T has stock of 20 tires at the end of the year
The cost price is $28 per tire
Value = Closing stock * Cost price of each tIres
Value = 20 * $28
Value = $560
Value of stock at the end of Firm B:
Firm B has stock of 10 bicycles at the end of the year
The cost price is $330 each
Value = Closing stock * Cost price of each bicycle
Value = 10 * $330
Value = $3,300
Value of the inventory investment = Value of stock at the end of Firm T + Value of stock at the end of Firm B
Value of the inventory investment = $560 + $3,300
Value of the inventory investment = $3,860
What can organizations do to keep rewards individualized enough to meet various employee needs (needs theory) while trying to ensure that everyone feels that all the different rewards are fair (equity theory)
Answer:
The best way to go about this is to design and operate and rewards system that recognizes individual needs as summarized and proposed by David McClelland.
The theory of equity on the other hand speaks to the perception of how input is compensated for in relation to those of others. Human beings (workers) will come with varying degrees of skills and input.
So to customize rewards in such a way that it recognizes unique contributions in an equitable way, one must first decide what key skills will be required for each job and which jobs are required to achieve organizational goals and objectives.
Explanation:
The Needs Theory by David Mclelland summarizes individual needs into three. They are:
Achievement AffiliationPowerA balanced reward system will have financial and non-financial benefits. some of the non-financial benefits will be tailored to have the above components.
- Achievement: An example of this is - Opportunity for higher assignments
- Affiliation: The need to belong to a strong Employer brand
- Power: This answers the question about whether or not one will become more influential as they progress with the company
The equity theory will guide the business owner in ensuring that all selected metrics of input are classed and priced accordingly.
The usual form of input include but are not limited to:
Ability Adaptability Commitment Determination Education Effort Enthusiasm Experience Flexibility Hard Work Loyalty Personal sacrifice Skill Support from co-workers and colleagues Time Tolerance Trust in supervisorsEquity sometimes is difficult to achieve due to issues with capacity on the part of the company. Best practice, however, is to recognize equity first from the perspective of standard industry practice, then match or exceed such offering by a combination of Financial and Non-Financial rewards that are based on the strength of the organization.
Another strategy is for organizations to adapt it's reward systems to Achievement Based Compensation. This type of compensation instead of focusing on the inputs listed above focuses on results.
In this case, expected results and capacity to deliver and subsequent rewards on same are discussed and agreed upon.
Minimum requirements are also defined ahead of time. Under this kind of structure, equity is achieved, and individual needs are recognized.
Cheers
It is essential that organizations meet the needs of employees on an individual basis and ensure that everyone feels that the different rewards are fair. This can be achieved by implementing a culture focused on integration, collaboration and open and clear communication.
What is Equity theory?It is a theory that explains how motivation in the workplace is related to the perception of employees through their sense of justice, that is, employees compare their work inputs and outputs in relation to others.
Therefore, by creating open communication and an effective reward system, employees can have their needs met and create a strong sense of appreciation for their work.

If you want to have $1,500 in two years, how much money should you deposit each month if you can earn 5% per year (assume monthly compounding)
Answer: $59.56
Explanation:
Convert the figures to monthly figures.
Term = 2 * 12 months = 24 months
Rate = 5%/12 = 5/12%
The amount should be constant so it will be an annuity.
The $1,500 will be the future value of that annuity.
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods - 1) / rate
1,500 = Annuity * ( ( 1 + 5/12%)²⁴ - 1) / 5/12%
1,500 = Annuity * 25.18592
Annuity = 1,500 / 25.18592
= $59.56
Why might some firms voluntarily pay workers a wage above the market equilibrium, even in the presence of surplus labor
Answer:
a. Paying higher wages can reduce a firm's training costs. b. Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers. d. Paying higher wages helps workers to be healthier in some developing countries.Explanation:
Paying higher than average wages will help a company retain staff who would appreciate being paid so much. There will therefore be less workers leaving the company which means that there would be no need to train new staff.
Higher wages also attracts more competent workers because competitive wages attract better talent who would want to work for a company that adequately compensates them for their higher skillset.
Developing countries tend to have low minimum or rather low equilibrium wage rates in order to get companies to employ more people. This usually does not reflect the economic situation in he country so paying above this rate will ensure that the employees are better taken care of which would leave them healthier.
A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of March, there were 5,000 units in the beginning work in process inventory; 70,000 units were started into production in March; and there were 25,000 units that were 60% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of March. What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March
Answer:
75,000 equivalent units
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March
First step is to calculate completed and transferred units
Completed and transferred units =5,000 + 70,000 − 25,000
Completed and transferred units = 50,000
Now let determine the equivalent units for direct materials cost
Using this formula
Equivalent units for direct materials cost =100% of the completed units + 100% of the ending inventory
Let plug in the formula
Equivalent units for direct materials cost= (50,000 × 100%) + (25,000 × 100%)
Equivalent units for direct materials cost=50,000+25,000
Equivalent units for direct materials cost=75,000
Therefore the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March is 75,000

Answer: • not enough dye was added to the drink.
Explanation:
The color of the drink is too pale after adding the dye to the drink because (not enough dye was added to the drink)
It should be noted that the reason why the color of the drink is too pale is due to the fact that not enough due was added to the drink.
It should be noted that as more dye is added to the drink, the color intensifies and the reason for the paleness of the colour is because less dye was added.
A 13-year, 6 percent coupon bond pays interest semiannually. The bond has a face value of $1,000. What is the percentage change in the price of this bond if the market yield to maturity rises to 6.7 percent from the current rate of 5.5 percent
Answer: -10.14%
Explanation:
Original Price of bond:
Interest is paid semiannually so some variables need to be adjusted:
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 5.5% / 2 = 2.75%
Price = $1,046
Price after yield increases to 6.7%
Period = 13 * 2= 26 semi annual periods
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 * 0.5 = $30 per period
Yield = 6.7% / 2 = 3.35%
Price = $939.88
Percentage change = (939.88 - 1,046) / 1,046
= -10.14%

Explanation:
The basic premise of unrelated diversification is that:
a. the least risky way to diversify is to seek out businesses that are leaders in their respective industry.
b. the best companies to acquire are those that offer the greatest economies of scope rather than the greatest economies of scale.
c. the best way to build shareholder value is to acquire businesses with strong cross-business financial fit.
d. any company that can be acquired on good financial terms and that has satisfactory growth and earnings potential represents a good acquisition and a good business opportunity.
e. the task of building shareholder value is better served by seeking to stabilize earnings across the entire business cycle than by seeking to capture cross-business strategic fits.
Answer: d. any company that can be acquired on good financial terms and that has satisfactory growth and earnings potential represents a good acquisition and a good business opportunity.
Explanation:
Unrelated diversification refers to the addition of a subsidiary to a company so as to penetrate new markets and make more income.
When a company is deciding on a company to acquire, it will choose one that can be acquired relatively cheaply or at least at a fair value give its assets as well as one that has good growth prospects and potential to earn returns that will increase the returns of the purchasing company.
Unrelated diversification values favorable acquisitions and growth potential over industry leadership or strategic fits for shareholder value. Therefore, option d is correct.
Unrelated diversification refers to a corporate strategy where a company enters into businesses that are unrelated or have little overlap with its current operations or industry.
It involves expanding into new and distinct markets or industries that are not directly related to the company's existing products or services.
The aim of unrelated diversification is to spread business risk, tap into new sources of revenue, and achieve growth by entering unrelated markets.
This strategy often involves acquiring or starting businesses that may offer different growth opportunities or have synergistic potential, despite lacking strategic or operational connections to the existing core business.
Therefore, option d is correct.
