PCM Thermal Products uses austenitic nickel-chromium alloys to manufacture resistance heating wire. The company is considering a new annealing-drawing process to reduce costs. If the new process will cost $3.25 million dollars now, how much must be saved each year to recover the investment in 6 years at an interest rate of 15% per year

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the amount that need to be saved each year in order to recover the investment is $858,770

Explanation:

The computation of the amount saved each year is shown below:

= Costing of the new process × (A/P, 15%, 6)

= $3,250,000 × 0.26424

= $858,770

hence, the amount that need to be saved each year in order to recover the investment is $858,770

Imprudential, Inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $573 million that must be paid in 20 years. To assess the value of the firm’s stock, financial analysts want to discount this liability back to the present. If the relevant discount rate is 6.6 percent, what is the present value of this liability?

Answers

Answer:

$159.59  million

Explanation:

The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown

FV=$573 million

r=discount rate=6.6%

n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20

PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20

PV=$573 million/1.066^20

PV=$573 million/3.590410405

PV=$159.59  million

As CEO of ​, knows it is important to control costs and to respond quickly to changes in the highly competitive​ boat-building industry. When Consulting proposes that invest in an ERP​ system, she forms a team to evaluate the​ proposal: the plant​ engineer, the plant​ foreman, the systems​ specialist, the human resources​ director, the marketing​ director, and the management accountant. A month​ later, management accountant reports that the team and estimate that if implements the ERP​ system, it will incur the following​ costs:

a. $435,000 in software costs
b. $95,000 to customize the ERP software and load Aqua Marine's data into the new ERP system
c. $105,000 for employee training

The team estimates that the ERP system should provide several benefits:
a. More efficient order processing should lead to savings of $105,000.
b. Streamlining the manufacturing process so that it maps into the ERP system will create savings of $125,000.
c. Integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system will allow Aqua Marine to reduce inventories, saving $225,000.
d. Higher customer satisfaction should increase sales, which, in turn, should increase profits by $155,000.

For Evaluating the effects of integrating purchasing, production, marketing, and distribution into a single system  - Plant foreman

For Estimating increase in sales from higher customer satisfaction  - Marketing director

For Estimate benefits and costs  - All team members

Explanation:

a.)

If the ERP installation succeeds , the dollar amount of the benefit is as follows :

From more efficient order processing savings = $105,000

From streamlining the manufacturing process savings = $125,000

From reduce inventories savings = $225,000

From increased sales profit = $155,000

⇒Total benefit = $ 105,000 + 125,000 + 225,000 + 155,000

                          = $610,000

⇒Total benefit if the ERP installation succeeds = $610,000

b.)

Firstly check the Costs for installation of ERP:

Software cost =  $435,000

Customizing ERP and loading data cost = $95,000

Employee training cost = $105,000

⇒Total cost = $ 435,000 + 95,000 + 105,000

                     = $635,000

⇒Total cost  = $635,000

Now,

As we have

Total Benefit in installation of ERP = $610,000

Total cost in installation of ERP = $635,000

⇒Net benefit = $610,000 - $635,000  = -$ (25,000)

∴ we get

If Aqua Marine install the ERP system , them they face loss.

So, They should not install the ERP system.

On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:

Answers

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

At the activity level of 20,000 machine hours:

total maintenance costs=20,000* $10.50=$210,000

At the activity level of 24,000 machine hours:

total maintenance costs=24,000*$9.75=$234,000

variable maintenance cost per hour=(total maintenance costs at higher activity level-total maintenance costs at lower activity level)/(higher activity level-lower activity level)

variable maintenance cost per hour=($234,000-$210,000)/(24000-20000)

variable maintenance cost per unit=$6

Using the higher activity level data:

total cost=fixed cost+(variable maintenance cost per unit*number of hours)

$234,000=fixed cost+($6*24000)

234,000=fixed cost+$144,000

fixed cost=$234,000-$144,000

fixed cost=$90,000

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9 % and the term is twenty years.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

$1,010,668

Explanation:

if you choose not to attend college, you should be working for 65 - 18 = 47 years

your expected annual salary is $40,000

the present value of your future earnings = $40,000 x PV annuity factor

PV annuity factor = = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.03)⁴⁸] / 0.03 = 25.2667

The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Suppose you consider buying a bond promising to pay you $25 one year from now and then the same amount every year through the fifth year (that is, you should receive a total of five coupon payments). At the time you receive your fifth payment, you will also receive the bond's face value of $5,000. Suppose the interest rate for a riskless bond is 7%. The most you would be willing to pay for this bond is $ . Give your answer to two decimals.

Answers

Answer:

$3,667.44

Explanation:

The amount you would be willing to pay today can be determined by finding the present value of the cash flows

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $25

Cash flow in year 5 = $25 + $5000

I = 7%

Present value = $3,667.44

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Adriana and Belen are partners who share income in the ratio of 3:2 and have capital balances of $50,000 and $90,000 at the time they decide to terminate the partnership. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $90,000. How much cash should be distributed to Adriana

Answers

Answer:

$54,000

Explanation:

First, we add the ratios together to determine the total parts:

3+2= 5

Next, we divide the cash balance of $90,000 by the total parts:

$90,000/5 = $18,000

To find the amount of cash distributed to Adriana we multiply by her ratio:

5*18,000 = $54,000.

Suppose two projects have the same expected business value. Project A has a very high estimated business value along with a high probability of failure. Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure. If you could do only one of the projects, which one would you choose and under what conditions

Answers

Answer:

Project B has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.

Explanation:

In order to do only one type of project that has the same business values. I would choose a project that has a low probability of failure. Though it has a low value but in the long run will lead to economic profit and shareholders value. For selection, we need to find out the benefits gained by the project.

If a person could choose only one project he must select Project B as it has a much lower estimated business value along with a low probability of failure.

What are the selection criteria for the project?

Project B would be a better option to choose as it is giving less risk to business as compared to Project B in terms of failure. However, the value of Project B is less but it has the potential to generate economic profits in the long run.

Therefore, by evaluating the cost and benefit from two projects shareholder's interest would be intact more through Project B.

B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage

Answers

Answer:

Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years            

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.

Data Missing:

Buying Cost of House = $320000

Interest rate = 7%

Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.

Solution:

Data Given:

Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%

So,

Formula:

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

Where,

P = Buying Cost of House = $320000

i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05

C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.

n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.

So,

$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]

Taking 25525.8 common,

320000 = 25525.8  ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

320000/25525.8  = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

Taking e common:

12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]

Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:

n = 17.89

n ≈ 18

n = 18 years

Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years

EVO, Inc. is evaluating a project that will have a life of four years. The operating cash flow each year is expected to be $51,500. There is a need to invest in net working capital at the start of the project in the amount of $4,250. EVO, Inc. will recover this investment in net working capital at the end of the project. EVO also needed to spend $22,400 on equipment in order to get the project started. The book value for this equipment when the project is finished, is estimated to be $4,660. This equipment will be sold at the end of the project for an estimated sales price of $5,670. EVO has a tax rate relevant to this analysis of 34 percent. Calculate the amount of cash flow in year 4 of this project

Answers

Answer:

$61,763.40

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of cash flow in year 4 is shown below:

Terminal Cash flow in year 4 is

= operating cash flow + net working capital invested + sale price of equipment - tax on profit from sale

= operating cash flow + net working capital invested  + sale price of equipment - tax rate × (Sale price - book value)

= $51,500 + $4,250 + $5,670 - 34% × ($5,670 - $4,660)

= $61,763.40
