(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Beaver Corporation is investigating the purchase of a new threading machine that costs $1

8,000. The machine would save about $4,000 per year over the present method of threading component parts, and would have a salvage value of about $3,000 in 6 years when the machine would be replaced. The company's required rate of return is 12%. The machine's net present value is closest to:

Answer:

$-34.77

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-18,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 =  $4,000

Cash flow in year 6 =  $4,000 + $3,000 = $7,000

I = 12%

NPV = $-34.77

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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.

3. Press compute

Answer:

The NPV of the machine is closest to  -$34.48

Explanation:

The net present value (NPV) of the project is the present value of the future net cash flows expected from the project less the initial cost of the project. The cash inflows from this project are the cost savings that are in a form of annuity and an amount for salvage value receivable at end of year 6. Thus, the NPV of the project is,

NPV = 4000 * [ (1 - (1+0.12)^-6)  / 0.12 ]  +  3000 / (1+0.12)^6   -  18000

NPV = - $34.48

A manager reorders lubricant when the amount on hand reaches 422 pounds. Average daily usage is 45 pounds, which is normally dis
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: The risk of stock out = 2.94%

Explanation:

Reorder point is calculated as: Lead time*demand per unit time=45*9=405

While the amount on-hand reaches 422 pounds, the manager was reordering lubricant.

During the lead time, Standard Deviation of Demand =Daily S.D*(Lead time)^0.5=3*(9^0.5)=9

Risk of Stock Out=(422-405)/9 S.D=1.89 S.D

From Normal distribution curve 1.89 S.D=0.0294=2.94%

Therefore, the risk of stock out=2.94%

You are the payables accountant for a medium sized electrical contracting company. You are paying bills with purchase discounts
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Memo

To: The Finance Manager

From: The Payables Accountant

Subject: Bank Loan to Pay Suppliers

Date: October 5, 2020

The above subject on our previous discussion refers.

This memo clarifies the advantage of borrowing from our bank the sum of $100,000 in order to offset the account of our supplier who has offered us the trade terms of 2/10, n/30.

Recall that the bank loan's interest rate is 6% per annum.  If we borrow within the month and repay 30 days after, the interest cost will be $500 ($100,000 * 6%/12).

You can compare this to the discount we shall receive from the supplier totaling $2,000 ($100,000 * 2%).  We can even extend the bank loan to 2 months, thereby paying a total interest cost of $1,000 ($500 * 2).

The implication is that we shall be making some gains by taking advantage of the cash discount.  May you approve the loan based on this clarifications.

Regards,

Tony Ohagwam

Explanation:

This memorandum attempts to justify the request for a bank loan in order to settle the bill of one of our company's suppliers.  It demonstrates the huge financial benefits that are implicit in accepting cash discounts from suppliers.

While other suppliers bidding for the contract brought bids with lower per unit costs, Orchard wanted to take delivery based on
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) top quality.

Explanation:

There are generally two sales approaches: the first, product-oriented. This takes into account its own characteristics in terms of presentation, quality and utility; and the second, people-oriented, where the real needs of the consumer are studied to determine how he uses the good in order to orient himself towards satisfying a need.

The example clearly shows that the orientation with minimum unit costs was mainly focused on the client, so that the first impression is that of a lower price to motivate their purchase decision. For his part, Orchard clearly shows a product orientation, because he tries to offer quality by sacrificing other variables to supply a need.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$69020

Explanation:

Selling price -$54

Incremental selling price =54*(1-0.16)=45.36

Incremental sales - 45.36*7000= 317520

Contribution -

Direct materials = 24*7000 =     (168000)

Direct labor = 6*7000 =              (42000)

Variable manufacturing =           (21000)     (3*7000)

Variable selling price =                (3500)        2*(1-0.75)

Total contribution =                      83020

Additional cost of machine       (14,000)

Incremental profit                        69,020
