In the United States, food manufacturers are required to enrich breads and cereals from milled, refined grains with the following vitamin B: THIAMIN, RIBOFLAVIN AND NIACIN. 
Bran, which is the outer layer of grain is rich in B vitamins and some other nutrients and minerals, but these usually get lost during refining process. Due to this, the government requires grain food manufacturers to add some B vitamins to their products during production. The B vitamins are very essential in man's nutrient because of their many benefits.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

<u>Requirement 1:</u> $257,000 Positive

<u>Requirement 2:</u> IRR is higher than 10%

Explanation:

<u>Requirement 1:</u>

We can use the following formula, to calculate the net present value of the project:

Net Present Value = Annual Cash Inflows * Annuity Factor - Investment

Here

Annual Cash Inflow is $500,000

r is 10%

n is the life of the project which is 20 years

Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^-n)  / r   =  (1 - (1 + 10%)^-20) / 10%  = 8.514

Investment is $4,000,000

By putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $500,000 * 8.514 - $4,000,000

NPV = $257,000 Positive

<u>Requirement 2:</u>

Internal rate of return gives the required rate at which NPV is zero.

Since NPV is positive at 10%, IRR will be higher than 10%.

Always remember that, increase in the discount rate decreases the NPV and vice versa.

Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. T
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%

Lesechka [4]

The defense contracting company is spending its money by purchase of EC2 instances. This reserved instance can be used for one to three years.

If the program is cancelled due to some reasons the company can let out the purchase instance to some other company on lease and earn annual rentals on it.

This will save its sunk cost and earn some money with spare reserved EC2 instance.

Your great aunt left you an inheritance in the form of a trust. The trust agreement states that you are to receive $2,400 on the
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The value of this inheritance today is <u>$30,541.12</u>.

Explanation:

Since the $2,400 is to be received the first day of each year, this is shows that this an annuity due and the relevant formula to use is the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an annuity due given as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] * (1 + r) .................................. (1)

Where ;

PV = Present value or the value of this inheritance today =?

P = Annual receipt = $2,400

r = discount rate = 6.75%, or 0.0675

n = number of years = 20

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

PV = $2,400 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.0675)]^25} / 0.0675] * (1 + 0.0675)

PV = $2,400 * 11.9208107635642 * 1.0675

PV = $30,541.12

Therefore, the value of this inheritance today is <u>$30,541.12</u>.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Estimates are made to fill a probable space in a variable or incognite, so we often see that in science models that include estimates are used. In biology specifically in inheritance for example, estimates could also be used in geography.

In areas where estimates cannot be used, they are those where one depends on a variable or measurement, such as engineering or architecture, because if accurate measurements are not used, some failure can lead to losses
