Initial investment:
Cost of equipment $290,000 $490,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues $340,000 $440,000
Variable expenses $154,000 $206,000
Depreciation expense $58,000 $98,000
Fixed out-of-pocket
operating costs $79,000 $59,000
net cash flow $107,000 $175,000
The company's discount rate is 16%.
payback period
A = $290,000 / $107,000 = 2.71 years, A is preferred
B = $490,000 / $175,000 = 2.8 years
using an excel spreadsheet I calculated the NPV and IRR
NPV
A = $60,349
B = $83,001, B is preferred
IRR
A = 25%, A is preferred
B = 23%
Project profitability
A = $350,349 / $290,000 = 1.21
B = $573,001 / $490,000 = 1.17
Simple rate of return
A = $535,000 / $290,000 = 184%, A is ´preferred
B = $875,000 / $490,000 = 179%

On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00
If your employer offers a retirement plan, don’t participate in it. Don’t bother to set target dates for achieving your financial goals. Pay credit card balances in full each month. Start saving early in life and save throughout your life.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
If your employer offers a retirement plan, don’t participate in it. Yes.
Having a retirement plan with your employer especially one in which you are a 100% vested is a drain on your income. It might have benefits in future when you retire but if you want to engage in financial planning, you need to have access to every penny and that includes the money going to the retirement plan.
Don’t bother to set target dates for achieving your financial goals. No
Setting a target date for various amounts in your financial goals enables you to work towards them with more determination. It is important to set target dates.
Pay credit card balances in full each month. Yes
Paying your credit card balance in full every month helps you avoid interest accruing as well as increasing your credit score. It is therefore very important to pay off the balance in full every month which will be easier as long as you charge things to it that you can afford.
Start saving early in life and save throughout your life. Yes.
The more you save the more you have to invest. This is why you should start saving early if you want to engage in financial planning. You need to formulate the determination to save every time. And don't just save for saving's case, save to invest.
Scora, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the quarter ending March 31. It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200 Prepare a sales budget for the months of January, February, and March.
Answer:
Sale budget January= $50,000
Sales budget February= $130,000
Sales budget March= $60,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
It sells a single product for $50 per unit. Budgeted sales for the next three months follow. January February March Sales in units 1,000 2,600 1,200
The sales budget is a simple multiplication between the selling price per unit and the number of units sold.
Sale budget January= 1,000*50= $50,000
Sales budget February= 2,600*50= $130,000
Sales budget March= 1,200*50= $60,000
Reliance Corporation sold 4,500 units of its product at a price of $20 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $11.00, consisting of $10.10 in variable production cost and $0.90 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the contribution margin for the company.
Answer:
$40,500
Explanation:
A Companies Contribution Margin is a product's price minus all associated variable costs, this final value gives the products incremental profit earned for each unit sold. Therefore in this scenario, the Contribution Margin for the company is as follows
(4,500 * $20) - (4,500 * $11)
$90,000 - $49,500
$40,500
Therefore the final Contribution Margin for the company is $40,500 dollars.

How are the project management processes that surround Scrum similar to and different to how the project management processes surround a project life cycle like SDLC (Waterfall)? Describe how the hybrid approach would make sense or not make sense for either your organization or an organization that you are familiar with.
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
There are several similarities between the project management processes which surround scrum to the traditional project management processes which surrounds a project life cycle such as Waterfall. When one looks at each iteration as a project, one will see that Scrum planning meeting will be identical to planning meeting of the traditional project.
The daily standups in scrum will resemble the monitoring and the controlling of traditional waterfall with the exception that in scrum, its team monitors itself. A sprint would be the execution stage while the sprint review will be like project closure lessons that are learned. Sprint can be seen as small waterfall model project.
However, the main difference is in the scrum's team mindset versus the team of the traditional project management. Also, the process of work defining as being completed is different for the teams. Lastly, the method used by the scrum team in its approaches to work, team collaboration, responsibility acceptance, tasks definition and accountability are different from the traditional project management team.
A hybrid approach will be sensible in a large organization which has pockets of power. This is true for large retails that have old legacy systems in which frequent deployments aren't possible.
This is true for systems in which, testing can't be automated due to the fact that automated testing is a vital part for success for large scrum projects. In such organizations, it is sensible to use scrum for the teams which are able to move to scrum and waterfall can be used for other parts of the organization.
Shop –N-Go Systems purchased cash registers on April 1 for $6,000. If this asset has an estimated useful life of four years, what is the netbook value of the cash registers on May 31 if the company uses the straight-line method of depreciation?
Answer:
Depreciation= $250
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $6,000
Useful life= 4 years
Depreciation= straight-line
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= 6,000/4= 1,500
Now, the depreciation for two months:
Depreciation= (1,500/12)*2
Depreciation= $250
The board of directors of Capstone Inc. declared a $0.80 per share cash dividend on its $1 par common stock. On the date of declaration, there were 48,000 shares authorized, 16,000 shares issued, and 5,000 shares held as treasury stock. What is the entry when the dividends are declared

What eventually happens to non-market “command” economies?
Answer:
From the historical references, we can say that the two leading command economies of the world, China and the Soviet Union both made the transition to the mixed economy.
Explanation:
A command economy refers to the economic system where all significant facets of the economy and economic production are controlled by the Government. In the command economy, it is the government that makes the decision of what to produce, how to produce, and how to distribute the manufactured products and services within the economy. It establishes a very dominant government which restricts the rights of its citizen to seek economic goals. It inevitably creates an environment in which governments will expand their influence over certain aspects of human life. Most command economies, including the Soviet Union, started making the transition to a mixed economy from the 1980s onward. This entailed a privatization process and price deregulation.

the maintenance of a high level of innovation which involves creativity coupled with a mindset which challenges standards and conventions. In line with the innovation value, hiring from outside might have been preferable.
Can't Hold Me Back, Inc. is preparing to pay its first dividends. It is going to pay $1.00, $2.50, and $5.00 a share over the next three years, respectively. After that, the company has stated that the annual dividend will be $1.25 per share indefinitely. What is this stock worth to you per share if you demand a 7% rate of return
Answer:
The stock worth to you per share if you demand a 7% rate of return is $21.78
Explanation:
In order to calculate the stock worth per share if you demand a 7% rate of return we would have to make the following calculation:
stock worth per share=PV of the first three years' returns+PV of the constant dividend stream from the fourth year
PV of the first three years' returns = 1/1.07+2.5/1.07^2+5/1.07^3 =$7.20
PV of the constant dividend stream from the fourth year,= (1.25/0.07)/1.07^3 =$14.58
Therefore, stock worth per share=$7.20 +$14.58
stock worth per share=$21.78
The stock worth to you per share if you demand a 7% rate of return is $21.78

The steps in the accounting cycle are:
a) Analyzing each transaction from source documents, e.g. from Sales Invoice. This shows the accounts affected and even the effect of the transaction on the accounting equation.
b) Journal Entries: This involves using the doubt entry system of accounting to record transactions in the general journal. This is the first accounting record. It shows the accounts to be debited and the ones to be credited in the General Ledger.
c) General Ledger: Each transaction is posted to their respective accounts in the ledger, depending on journal entries. Usually, two accounts are affected by each transaction, just like in the journal.
d) The fourth step is the extraction of a Trial Balance. This is an accounting tool for checking that the first three steps have been completely and correctly followed.

After hearing a knock at your front door, you are surprised to see the Prize Patrol from a large, well-known magazine subscription company. It has arrived with the good news that you are the big winner, having won $34 million. You have three options. (a) Receive $1.7 million per year for the next 20 years. (b) Have $11.5 million today. (c) Have $3.25 million today and receive $1,400,000 for each of the next 20 years. Your financial adviser tells you that it is reasonable to expect to earn 14 percent on investments.
Answer:
The requirement is to calculate the present value of each option:
$ 11.26 million
$11.5 million
$ 12.52 million
Explanation:
The present value formula in excel is very useful in this case:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is the 14% interest rate to be earned per year
nper is duration of the payment
pmt is the amount of payment expected per year
fv is the is the future worth of the payment which is unknown
Option 1:
=-pv(14%,20,1.7,0)=$ 11.26 million
Option 2:
The amount receivable today is the present value i.e $11.5 million
option 3:
=-pv(14%,20,1.4,0)=$9.27 million
total =amount received today+$ 9.27 million=$3.25 million+$ 9.27 millon=$ 12.52 million

Which of the following statements is correct?a. The cost of new equity (re) could possibly be lower than the cost of retained earnings (rs) if the market risk premium, risk-free rate, and the company's beta all decline by a sufficiently large amount.b. The component cost of preferred stock is expressed as rp(1 - T), because preferred stock dividends are treated as fixed charges, similar to the treatment of interest on debt.c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.d. We should use historical measures of the component costs from prior financing when estimating a company's WACC for capital budgeting purposes.
Answer:
c. Its cost of retained earnings is the rate of return shareholders require on a firm's common stock.
Explanation:
The formula to compute the cost of retained earning is as follows
Cost of retained earning = (Expected annual dividend ÷ Price of the stock) + growth rate
It is the rate of return that equates with the cost of equity plus it also earns on the investment done in the company i.e equity
In a mathematical expression,
Cost of retained earnings = Cost of equity
hence, the correct option is c.

The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts. c. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall d. Stay the sam
Answer: a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
Explanation:
The bad weather destroyed the annual crop of carrots. This will reduce the supply for Carrots. A reduction in supply forces the Supply Curve to shift to the left and assuming the demand curve remains the same, the new supply curve will intersect the demand curve a higher equilibrium price.
This is done to obey the Rules of Supply that when a good is scarce, it is more expensive.
Notice how the supply curve shifted left in the diagram and prices rose.

B) If the safe rate of interest is 10 percent and you believe that investing in Grimm carries no risk?C) If the safe rate of interest is 5 percent, but your risk premium is 3 percent?
D) Repeat parts a to c, assuming that Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, but the expected price is unchanged..
Answer:
(a) $100.00
(b) $95.45
(c) $97.22
(di) $95.24
(dii) $90.91
(diii) $92.59
Explanation:
Brothers Grimm corporation is responsible for the manufacturing of gingerbread houses. During a one year period, they are expected to pay a dividend of $5 and to sell each shares for $100. The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows
a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is
= ( 5+100)/( 1+5/100)
= 105/ ( 1+0.05)
= 105/1.05
= $100.00
b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be
= (5+100)/(1+10/100)
= 105/( 1+0.1)
= 105/1.1
= 95.454
= $95.45( to 2 decimal places)
c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is
= (5+100)/(1+(5+3)/100)
= 105/( 1+8/100)
= 105/(1+0.08)
= 105/1.08
= $97.222
= $97.22 (to 2 decimal places)
d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:
i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is
= 100/( 1+5/100)
= 100/( 1+0.05)
= 100/1.05
= $95.238
= $95.24 ( to 2 decimal places)
ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is
= 100/( 1+10/100)
= 100/( 1+ 0.1)
= 100/1.1
= $90.909
= $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)
iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated as
= 100/(1+8/100)
= 100/(1+0.08)
= 100/1.08
= $92.592
= $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places)
Share valuation is done based on quantitative techniques and the value of a share will vary depending on market demand and supply.
What do you mean by share value?Valuation of shares is a process of knowing the value of a company's shares. The stock price of listed companies trading publicly can be easily identified.
The share value for different safe interests is calculated as follows
a) If the safe interest is 5%, then the share value for today is
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{5}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.05)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.05}\\\\= \$100.00[/tex]
b) If the safe interest is 10%, the share value for today would be:
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{10}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.1)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.1}\\\\= \$95.454[/tex]
c) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3%, then the share value for today is
[tex]=\frac{ ( 5+100)}{1+\frac{(5+8)}{100}}\\\\= \dfrac{105}{( 1+0.08)} \\\\=\dfrac{105}{1.08}\\\\= \$97.222\\[/tex]
d) Since Grimm is not expected to pay a dividend, the share values for each safe interest can be calculated as follows:
i) If the safe interest is 5% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $95.238.
ii) If the safe interest is 10% and there is no payment of dividend, then the share value for today is $90.91 ( to 2 decimal places)
iii) If the safe interest is 5% and the risk premium is 3% with no payment of dividend, the share value for today is calculated to be $92.59 ( to 2 decimal places).
Thus, the value of each share under the specified rate of dividend and risk premium is calculated.
