Q#2 (Chapter 9). A diversified company has decided to use its overall firm WACC as a performance benchmark for rating its divisional managers and to decide whether new projects from its three divisions should be funded for investment capital. The firm WACC is 12%. The divisional WACCs for its high risk, average risk, and low risk divisions are 16%, 11.9%, and 8%, respectively. Please explain the pros and cons of using the firm WACC in evaluating its divisional managers and projects. Remember that WACC can be interpreted as a hurdle rate or the minimum acceptable return. Limit your answers to 10 sentences.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pros: Use of singe hurdle rate saves time in the evaluation of projects which results in prompt decision making.

Cons: Company may reject good projects and accept bad ones due to the assumptions underlying WACC use in capital budgeting.

Explanation:

Pros of using WACC: The use of WACC implies that the company  uses a single hurdle rate  for all projects, which simplifies the decision making and saves  time when evaluating projects

Cons of using WACC: Use of WACC assumes that  there is no change in capital structure i.e all projects are financed in exactly the same way and all projects have the same risk . These assumptions  may lead to the company rejecting good projects  and accepting bad ones. For example the company may accept a high risk project with a return of 14% when the minimum return that should be accepted according to the high risk divisional WACC is 16%. Likewise, the company may reject a low risk project with a return of 11%, when it is in fact a good project whose minimum return should be 8% as per the low risk divisional WACC.

If the selling price is $22.30 per unit, what is the contribution margin per unit? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Final answer:

The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting all variable costs from the selling price per unit, resulting in $9.70.

Explanation:

To calculate the contribution margin per unit, we need to subtract the variable costs from the selling price per unit. The selling price provided is $22.30 per unit. Looking at the average costs per unit, we have direct materials at $6.30, direct labor at $3.80, variable manufacturing overhead at $1.50, and sales commissions at $1.00. The total variable cost per unit is the sum of these, which is $6.30 + $3.80 + $1.50 + $1.00 = $12.60. Therefore, the contribution margin per unit is $22.30 - $12.60 = $9.70.

Beverage International reports net credit sales for the year of $468,000. The company's accounts receivable balance at the beginning of the year equaled $24,000 and the balance at the end of the year equaled $34,000. What is Beverage International's receivables turnover ratio?

Answers

Answer:

The Beverage International's receivables turnover ratio is =  16,14  

Explanation:

The accounting receivable turnover formula is :

Net credit sales / Average Accounts Receivable

So  Net credit sales = $468,000

And Average Accounts Receivable = ($24,000 + $34,000)/2 =  $29.000,00  

The receivables turnover ratio is =  $468,000 / $29.000,00  =  16,14

Answers

Answer:

G=  400

S= 280

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

GDP in this country is $1,680 million.

National Income Account Value (Millions of dollars)

Government Purchases ( G ) =?

Taxes minus Transfer Payments ( T )= 360

Consumption ( C )= 1,000

Investment ( I )= 280

The formula to calculate GDP is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP= C+I+G

1680= 1000 + 280 + G

G= 1680 - 1000 - 280= 400

Savings= (Y-T-C) + (T-G)

S= (1680 - 360 - 1000) + (360 - 400)

S= 280

Final answer:

The Government Purchases (G) can be calculated as $400 million, subtracting Consumption (C) and Investment (I) from GDP. Also, National Saving (S) is calculated as $280 million, using the formula S = GDP - C - G.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is national income accounts, specifically about government purchases (G). According to the national income accounting identities, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the sum of Consumption (C), Investment (I), Government Purchases (G), and Net Exports (which are not mentioned in this question). In this case, the GDP is $1,680 million, Consumption is $1,000 million and Investment is $280 million. To calculate Government Purchases (G), we subtract Consumption (C) and Investment (I) from the total GDP.

So, G = GDP - C - I

Plug in the given amounts

G = $1,680 million - $1,000 million - $280 million

Hence, Government Purchases (G) = $400 million.

We also calculate National Saving (S) using the following identity: S = GDP - C - G. From our previous calculation, we know that G = $400 million, so:

S = $1,680 million - $1,000 million - $400 million

Therefore, National Saving (S) = $280 million.

The correct net present value of the machine would be $86,400

Explanation:

For computing the net present value, the discount factor, yearly cash inflows are required.

In the question, it is already mentioned that Carlin ignores income taxes, and for depreciation, income tax is to be considered. So, automatically the depreciation is also not be considered in calculating part which means that the net present value would remain the same.

(D) $500,000
(E) None of the above

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is (C) $401,302

Explanation:

To get how much the contest winner actually won, we have to calculate the amount receive at the end of each year discounted at this moment. Then,  we added  all the payments.  

For example, the first payment in  $200,000 at this moment,  so we add  $200,000.

Because of recent tax law changes, Ms. BK’s tax rate for next year will decrease to 25 percent. Based on a static forecast, how much less revenue will the government collect from Ms. BK next year? How much less revenue will the government collect from Ms. BK next year if she responds to the rate decrease by working more hours and earning $280,000 taxable income? How much less revenue will the government collect from Ms. BK next year if she responds to the rate decrease by working fewer hours and earning only $180,000 taxable income?

Answers

Answer:

a.- 20,500 less tax collected

b.- 1,750 less tax collected

c.- 26,750 less tax collected

Explanation:

under a static forecast:

205,000 x (0.35-0.25) = 205,000 x 0.1 = 20,500

The government will collect 20,500 less dollars from Ms BK's

under a flexible forecast:

205,000 x 35% - 280,000 x 25% = 71,750 - 70,000 = 1,750

It will loss tax revenue for $1,750

205,000 x 35% - 180,000 x 25% = 71,750 - 45,000 = 26,750

Answers

Answer:

The cash flow from assets for the year is $3,522

Explanation:

Computation of the cash flow from assets for 2019 is shown below:

= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital

where,

Operating cash flow = EBIT + depreciation - income tax expense

The EBIT = Sales - cost - depreciation expense

               = $12,991 - $5,843 - $1,034

               = $6,114

And, the income tax expense = (EBIT - Interest) × tax rate

                                                 = ($6,114 - $146) × 32%

                                                 = $1,909.76

So, the operating cash flow =  $6,114 + $1,034 -  $1,909.76

                                              = $5,238.24

Net capital capital = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation

= $4,297  - $3,712 + $1,034

= $1,619

Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)

= ($946 - $493)  - ($931 - $375)  

=  $453 - $356

= $97

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $5,238.24 - $1,619 - $97

= $3,522

Norton Manufacturing expects to produce 2,800 units in January and 3,900 units in February. Norton budgets $45 per unit for direct materials. Indirect materials are insignificant and not considered for budgeting purposes. The balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account (all direct materials) on January 1 is $37,950. Norton desires the ending balance in Raw Materials Inventory to be 60% of the next month's direct materials needed for production. Desired ending balance for February is $51,000. What is the cost of budgeted purchases of direct materials needed for January?

Answers

Answer:

Budgeted purchase=  $193350

Explanation:

We need to calculate the cost of direct material during January. We need to know what are the purchase of direct material needed to produce the current month goods and for next month.

The unitary cost of material is $45, January's production 2800 units, February production 3900 units.

Direct material for Januarys production:

2800 units * $45= $126000

Direct material for February:

($45*3900)*0,60= $105300

Initial inventory= 37950

Budgeted purchase= 126000+105300-37950= $193350

Preston Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $140 and a unit sales price of $264. Fixed manufacturing costs were $720,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 3,000 units at $210 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows: Select one: a. Income would increase by $156,000. b. Income would decrease by $162,000. c. Income would increase by $210,000. d. Income would increase by $6,000.

Answers

Answer:

c. Income would increase by $210,000.

Explanation:

For computing the effect of net income, first we have to compute the net income which is shown below:

Net  income = Sales - variable cost - fixed cost

where,

Sales = Number of units × selling price per unit

         = 10,000 units × $264

         = $2,640,000

Variable cost = Number of units × variable cost per unit

                      = 10,000 units × $140

                      = $1,400,000

And, the fixed cost is $720,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $2,640,000 - $1,400,000 - $720,000

= $520,000

If 3,000 additional units are sell

Then, increased in the net income would be

= Additional units × (New Selling price - variable cost)

= 3,000 units × ($210 - $140)

= 3,000 units × $70

= $210,000

Answers

Answer:

Unit cost= $5,5unit

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost is the aggregate amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the cost of goods sold shall consist of:

the cost of direct materials

the cost of direct labor

the cost of manufacturing overhead

Expenses that are outside of the manufacturing facilities, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, are not product costs. They are reported as expenses on the income statement in the accounting period in which they occur.

In this exercise:

Cost of goods manufactured:

Direct materials= $13700

Direct Labor=$4800

Factory overhead= 800hours*$25=$20000

Total= $38500

Unit cost= 38500/7000=$5,5unit

Messana Corporation reported the following data for the month of August: Inventories: Beginning Ending Raw materials $36,000 $24,000 Work in process $23,000 $17,000 Finished goods $37,000 $55,000 Additional information: Raw materials purchases $69,000 Direct labor cost $94,000 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $54,000 Indirect materials included in manufacturing overhead cost incurred $8,000 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $56,000 The cost of goods manufactured for August is: $227,000 $229,000 $219,000 $217,000

Answers

The cost of goods manufactured for August is $217,000.

The cost of goods manufactured for August is $217,000.

Calculate the total manufacturing costs: Direct materials used = Beginning raw materials + Raw materials purchases - Ending raw materials = $36,000 + $69,000 - $24,000 = $81,000.Calculate total manufacturing costs: Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead applied = $81,000 + $94,000 + $56,000 = $231,000.Cost of goods manufactured: Cost of goods manufactured = Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process - Ending work in process = $231,000 + $23,000 - $17,000 = $217,000.

The correct cost of goods manufactured for August is $237,000, calculated by adding raw materials used, direct labor, manufacturing overhead applied, and adjusting for the change in work in process inventory.

To determine the cost of goods manufactured for Messana Corporation for the month of August, we need to calculate the total manufacturing costs:

Starting with Raw materials, we calculate the total used: Beginning inventory plus purchases minus ending inventory gives us $36,000 + $69,000 - $24,000 = $81,000.

To the raw materials used, we add the direct labor cost of $94,000 and manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process of $56,000. The indirect materials have already been included within the manufacturing overhead cost incurred, so we don't add them again.

We add these together to get total manufacturing costs before adjusting for work in process inventory which gives us $81,000 (Raw materials used) + $94,000 (Direct labor) + $56,000 (Manufacturing overhead applied) = $231,000.

To find the Cost of Goods Manufactured, we then adjust for the change in Work in Process inventory: $231,000 + $23,000 (Beginning Work in Process inventory) - $17,000 (Ending Work in Process inventory) = $237,000.

Therefore, none of the provided options are correct. The correct Cost of Goods Manufactured for August would be $237,000.

You have been offered an investment that will pay you $10,000 in 10 years. You think a 7% annual rate compounded annually is an appropriate rate of return or interest rate for this investment. What is the most you would be willing to pay for this investment today based on this information? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

the minimun value is expressed by the present value of the investment using a 7% rate, lets recall the formula for finding present values:

[tex]PV=FV*(1+i)^{-n}[/tex]

where, PV is present value, FV is the future value, and n is time elapsed. So applying to this problem we have:

[tex]PV=10,000*(1+0.07)^{-10}[/tex]

[tex]PV=5,083.49[/tex]

So the minimun value which is profitable to pay is 5,083.49 today, in that sense you will get a return on 7% compounded after 10 years

As an equity analyst you are concerned with what will happen to the required return to Universal Toddler' stock as market conditions change. Suppose rRF = 3%, rM = 13%, and bUT = 1.2. Under current conditions, what is rUT, the required rate of return on UT Stock? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return on UT Stock is 18.60%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula  

To compute the required rate of return on UT Stock, we need to apply the formula which is presented below:

Required rate of return = rRF + (bUT × rM)

where,  

rRF is a risk-free rate of return

bUT is a beta  

rM is a market risk  

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to  

= 3% + (1.2 × 13%)

= 3% + 15.6%

= 18.60%

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

- Direct materials are those materials and supplies that are consumed during the manufacture of a product, and which are directly identified with that product.

- Direct labor is production or services labor that is assigned to a specific product, cost center, or work order.  

- Manufacturing overhead refers to indirect factory-related costs that are incurred when a product is manufactured.

- Period costs are not directly tied to the production process. Overhead or sales, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs are considered period costs. SG&A includes costs of the corporate office, selling, marketing, and the overall administration of company business.

Eric, the owner of a struggling business that supplies fresh product to restaurants, is faced with a decision that will mean either the collapse of his business or perhaps the success of his business: Should he fill customer orders for produce with some older produce mixed in with the fresh produce? This will save him enough money to keep going. Eric is faced with an ethical dilemma.

Answers

Answer:

Yes this is no doubt an ethical dilemma for him. But he should go for what is ethically correct.

Explanation:

In my opinion, he should not go for this decision. Unethical practices result in temporary success but they don't guarantee permanent achievements. He should focus on completing the orders on time with the fresh products(as it is his business goal to provide fresh products), he would make his good will in the market by providing as per his commitment and then gradually will be able to mark his business. This ethical decision in such tough time will make him stronger and will grow his business in future when people will like his products and commitment of providing fresh products.

The Purple Lion Beverage Company expects the following cash flows from its manufacturing plant in Palau over the next five years: Annual Cash Flows Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $250,000 $37,500 $480,000 $450,000 $550,000 The CFO of the company believes that an appropriate annual interest rate on this investment is 9%. What is the present value of this uneven cash flow stream, rounded to the nearest whole dollar? $1,307,822 $767,500 $1,625,000 $2,142,500

Answers

Answer:

PV of the cash flow: $1,307,822

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of a lump sum for each cash flow:

[tex]\frac{cashflow}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

cashflow 250,000.00

time   1.00

rate  0.09

[tex]\frac{250000}{(1 + 0.09)^{1} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   229,357.80

cashflow 37,500.00

time   2.00

[tex]\frac{37500}{(1 + 0.09)^{2} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   31,563.00

cashflow 480,000.00

time   3.00

rate  0.09

[tex]\frac{480000}{(1 + 0.09)^{3} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   370,648.07

cashflow 450,000.00

time   4.00

rate  0.09

[tex]\frac{450000}{(1 + 0.09)^{4} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   318,791.34

cashflow 550,000.00

time   5.00

rate  0.09

[tex]\frac{550000}{(1 + 0.09)^{5} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   357,462.26

Then, we will add each present value:

year 1:       229,357.7982

year 2:         31,562.99975

year 3:       370,648.0704

year 4:         318,791.345

year 5:        357,462.2625  

total PV  1,307,822.476

Answer:

Present value of cash flows should be $1,307,822

Explanation:

We cannot use annuity formula for this problem because the amount of cash flows occurring in each year is different and we would need to find the present value of each cash flow separately

The present value of the cash flow can be computed using the following formula

PV = FV/(1+i)^n

The rate at which the cash flows are to be discounted is 9 percent

For the first  year the cash flow is $250,000 and we can compute the pressent value of the cash flow as under

250,000/(1+0.09) = 250,000/1.09 = $229,357.80

Foe the second year the cash flow is $37,500  

37,500/(1+0.09)^2= 37,500/1.1881 = $31,563

The present value of the cash flows for the subsequent years are provided as under

480,000/(1+0.09)^3 = 480,000/1.295 = $370,648.07

450,000/(1+0.09)^4 = 450,000/1.4116 = $318,791.34

550,000/(1+0.09)^5 = 550,000/1.5386 = $357,462.26

Adding up all the present values computed above, gives us the present value of cash flows

229,357.8 + 31,563 + 370,648.07 + 318,791.34 + 357,462.26 = $1,307,822 approx

The Jasmine Tea Company purchased merchandise from a supplier for $46,700. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring Jasmine to make five annual payments of $12,000 beginning one year from the date of purchase. What is the interest rate implicit in this agreement?

Answers

Answer:

Implicit interest= 28.48%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The Jasmine Tea Company purchase merchandise from a supplier for $46,700.

Payment is five annual payments of $12,000 beginning one year from the date of purchase.

The total payment is= 12000*5= $60000

Implicit interest= (60000/46700)-1= 28.48%

You are buying an investment product that costs $50,000 today. The annual interest rate is 5% and the investment period is 3 years. The investment will repay you $10,000 at the end of year 1 and $15,000 at the end of year 2. Based on economic equivalent value of the investment, how much should you receive at the end of year 3? Round the answer to the nearest integer. (e.g. round 10.25 to 10, round 10.78 to 11)

Answers

Answer:

cash flow third year: 23,212

Explanation:

the economic equivalent value means the third payment will make the project equal to 50,000 today at 5% discount rate.

It mill make both option equivalent.

So the present value of the three payment will be 50,000.

[tex]50,000 = PV_{year1}+PV_{year2}+PV_{year3}[/tex]

We will calculate each PV:

First year:

[tex]\frac{Nominal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Nominal: 10,000.00

time   1 year

rate  5% = 0.05

[tex]\frac{10000}{(1 + 0.05)^{1} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   9,523.81

Second Year:

Nominal: 15,000.00

time  2 years

rate  0.05

[tex]\frac{15000}{(1 + 0.05)^{2} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   13,605.44

Now, we go back to our previous formula:

[tex]50,000 = PV_{year1}+PV_{year2}+PV_{year3}[/tex]

50,000 = 9,523.81 + 13,605.44 + PV3

And solve for PV of third year:

PV3 = 26,870.75‬

Now we go into the formula for PV and solve for the nominal

Third Year:

Nominal: N

time   3 years

rate  0.05

PV 26,870.75

[tex]\frac{N}{(1 + 0.05)^{3} } = 26,870.75[/tex]  

N = 23211.96415

The third year cash inflow should be for this amount to made the project economic equivalent

You are considering two perpetuities which are identical in every way, except that perpetuity A will begin making annual payments of $P to you two years from today while the first $P payment for perpetuity B will occur one year from today. It must be true that the present value of perpetuity: A) A is greater than that of B by $P. B) B is greater than that of A by $P. C) B is equal to that of perpetuity A. D) A exceeds that of B by the PV of $P for one year. E) B exceeds that of A by the PV of $P for one year.

Answers

Answer:

E) B exceeds that of A by the PV of $P for one year.

Explanation:

A begins in 2 years in the future, while B starts one year into the future:

B:

[tex]\frac{perpetuity}{(1 + rate)^{1}} [/tex]

A:

[tex]\frac{perpetuity}{(1 + rate)^{2}} = [/tex]

The difference is this one year difference which, makes the return on A lower than B today. After the two years, past and both perpetuities begin, their value will be the same.

Warner Company has the following data for the past year:
Actual overhead $470,000
Applied overhead:
Work-in-process inventory $100,000
Finished goods inventory 200,000
Cost of goods sold 200,000
Total $500,000
Warner uses the overhead control account to accumulate both actual and applied overhead.
Calculate the overhead variance for the year.

Answers

Final answer:

The overhead variance for Warner Company is a $30,000 unfavourable variance, which means the company applied $30,000 more in overhead than the actual overhead costs.

Explanation:

The overhead variance is calculated by subtracting the applied overhead from the actual overhead. In the case of Warner Company, the actual overhead for the past year was $470,000, and the total applied overhead was $500,000 (sum of applied overhead in work-in-process inventory, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold).

To find the overhead variance, we use the following formula:

Overhead Variance = Actual Overhead - Applied Overhead

Overhead Variance = $470,000 - $500,000

Overhead Variance = -$30,000

This result indicates that there is a $30,000 unfavourable variance, meaning that Warner Company has over-applied its overhead costs by $30,000.
