Year Project A Project B
0 -$50,000 -$50,000
1 24,800 41,000
2 36,200 20,000
3 21,000 10,000

a. project A; because it has the higher required rate of return
b. project A; because its NPV is about $4,900 more than the NPV of project B
c. project B; because it has the largest total cash inflow
d. project B; because it has the largest cash inflow in year one

Answer:

b. project A; because its NPV is about $4,900 more than the NPV of project B

Explanation:

Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

Mutually exclusive projects are those projects where only one project is selected for investment after analysis. NPV is the most preferred method in the evaluation of mutually exclusive projects for capital budgeting. That project is accepted which has higher positive NPV.

Net present value of Project A =$13,157.24

Net present value of Project A =$8,256.98

Difference = $13,157.24 - $8,256.98 = $4,900.26

Net Present value working is made in MS Excel File which is attached with this answer, please find it.

Jamison Paints makes and sells paint to home improvement stores. Jamison's only plant can produce up to 12 million cans of paint
Olin [163]

Answer:

Jamison's current total cost of making and selling 10 million cans of paint is $75,000,000 and the current cost per can of paint is $7.5

Explanation:

For computing the current total cost, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost

where,

Fixed cost = $15,000,000

And, the variable cost = Annual production × variable cost per plant

                                     = 10,000,000 × $6

                                     = $60,000,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $15,000,000 + $60,000,000

= $75,000,000

Now the current cost per can of paint would be

= (Total cost) ÷ (Annual production)

= ($75,000,000) ÷ (10,000,000)

= $7.5 per can of paint

natali 33 [55]

45N + 400M + 20P ≥ 45 is the constraint that limits the amount of time the writer will work each week.

Explanation:

Integer constraints limit any or all variables to only allow integer values in the optimisation issue. It allows for precise simulation of situations that include discrete numbers (such as equity shares) or decisions yes or no.

Both "limits" and "restrictions" are "restrictions," which may be the broadest word to denote anything that prohibits a entity or a mechanism from happening. "Standards" and "controls" typically feel like standing back, where "stretches" sound like being alone.

Ted is installing lighting in a new block of 12 apartments. He will need 60 metres of cable for each apartment. Each new spool h
lina2011 [118]
The total length of cable that is needed for the installation of the lighting in the new apartments is calculated by multiplying the number of apartments and the length of cable needed for each apartment. The calculation is shown below.
    L = (12 apartments)(60 m/apartment) = 720 meters of cable

As given in the problem, each spool holds 100 meters of cable. The number of spools needed is therefore calculated by dividing the total length by the length of cable per spool as shown below.
    S = (720 meters of cable) / (100 meters/spool)
     S = 7.20 spools

Hence, the smallest number of new spools that Ted will need for this job is equal to 8 spools.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Such a study is best characterized as a non-experimental study.

Explanation:

Non-experimental research is the study whereby a researcher cannot manipulate, control, or change the subjects of a research but instead, the researcher depends on observation, interpretation, or interactions to arrive at a conclusion. This means that in a non-experimental study, the researcher relies on surveys, correlations or case studies.

Non-experimental research has a great level of external validity because it is usually generalized to a bigger population. XYZ Corp making use of a survey is an example of non-experimental study.

Dotterel Corporation uses the variable cost concept of product pricing. Below is cost information for the production and sale of
skad [1K]

Answer:

$11.2 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the variable cost per unit is shown below:

= Variable direct materials cost per unit + Variable direct labor cost per unit + Variable factory overhead cost per unit + Variable selling and administrative cost per unit

= $4.34 per unit + $5.18 per unit + $0.98 per unit + $0.70 per unit

= $11.2 per unit

We simply added the entire variable cost per unit so that the accuracy per unit could be reached
