Answer:

c) The investment is mutually exclusive with another investment under consideration.

Explanation:

The main indicator as to whether or not accept a project or not is the net present value (NPV). Only projects with a positive NPV should be considered. On the other hand, the internal rate of return (IRR) has a couple of issues and is not that reliable because it does not consider the size of the projects, or associated future costs, or even the duration of the projects. The IRR is not a good method to evaluate long term projects.

So when you have to compare mutually exclusive projects, the IRR should not be considered due to the issues previously mentioned.

Cardiff and Delp is an architectural firm that provides services for residential construction projects. The following data perta
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Activity Rates

Consultation  $150

Drawings        $58

Modeling         $0.7

supervision       $190

Billings              $1037.5

Collections       $1642.5

Total overhead allocated: $ 126,826

Explanation:

First, we divide the cost of each activity over the base total to get the rate.

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}$Activity&Driver&cost&Total&Rate\\$Consultation&$contact hours&315000&2100&150\\$Drawings&$desing hours&104400&1800&58\\$Modeling&$square feet&32200&46000&0.7\\$supervision&$days&228000&1200&190\\$Billings&$jobs&8300&8&1037.5\\$Collections&$jobs&13140&8&1642.5\\\end{array}\right]

Now we apply this rate against the job activity measurement:

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}$Activity&Job&$Rate&$Allocated\\$Consultation&410&150&61500\\$Drawings&352&58&20416&\\$Modeling&7400&0.7&5180&\\$supervision&195&190&37050&\\$Billings&1&1037.5&1037.5&\\$Collections&1&1642.5&1642.5&\\$Total&&&126826&\\\end{array}\right]

Abby and jason are building a new house. they obtained a construction loan of $100,000, which will be rolled over into a convent
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

the initial principal balance is $100,000, but it will gain 2% simple monthly interest during 16 months = $100,000 + ($100,000 x 2% x 16) = $132,000

the mortgage loan's principal = $132,000

APR = 12%

n = 30 years or 360 monthly payments

1) using a loan calculator we can determine that the monthly mortgage payment (only  principal + interest) = $1,357.77

2) since they will make 360 monthly payments, they will pay in total = $1,357.77 x 360 = $488,796.71

in total they will pay $$356,796.71  in interest

sergey [27]

Answer:

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 9,00%

Explanation:

We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate this ratio. See document attached.

We use a cash flow to solve this problem.

At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case  $365,695. From period 1 to period 9, we have incomes o benefits of $61,000. Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.

We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the IRR.
