Easton Corporation is involved in the evaluation of a new computer-integrated manufacturing system. The system has a projected initial cost of $1,000,000. It has an expected life of six years, with no salvage value, and is expected to generate annual cost savings of $250,000. Based on Easton Corporation's analysis, the project has a net present value of $57,625.
1. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What discount rate did the company use to compute the net present value? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. 10 %
b. 11 %
c. 12 %
d. 13 %
2. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's profitability index?
a. 1.058
b. .058
c. .945
d. 1.000
3. Refer to Rhodes Corporation. What is the project's internal rate of return? Present value tables or a financial calculator are required.
a. between 12.5 and 13.0 percent
b. between 11.0 and 11.5 percent
c. between 11.5 and 12.0 percent
d. between 13.0 and 13.5 percent
Answer and Explanation:
1. The discount rate is
If we go through the options
like we assume 10%
So, the net present value is
= ($250,000 × 4.3553) - $1,000,000
= $1,088,825 - $1,000,000
= $88,825
Now if the discount rate is 11%
So, the net present value os
= ($250,000 × 4.2305) - $1,000,000
= $1,057,625 - $1,000,000
= $57,625
So the net present value is $57,625
2. The profitability index is
= ($1,000,000 + $57,625) ÷ ($1,000,000)
= 1.058
3. The internal rate of return is
It is 12.98% that lies between 12.5% and 13%
You work for a mature company with a long history in the industry and have been given stock options. Which of the following are you most likely wanting to see happen with top line (revenue) and bottom line (net profit) growth rates?
A. Top line and bottom line holding steady without much variation.
B. Top line growing faster than bottom line.
C. Bottom line growing faster than top line.
D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.
Answer: D. Both top and bottom line growing at the same rate.

Answer:
the cash balance at the end of the period is $3,551
Explanation:
The computation of the cash balance at the end of the period is shown below:
= Cash Balance at beginning of the period + received from receivables - paid to suppliers- cash expenses
= $4,716 + $1,517 - $2,182 - $500
= $3,551
Hence, the cash balance at the end of the period is $3,551

Advanced Company reports the following information for the current year. All beginning inventory amounts equaled $0 this year.
Units produced this year 35,000 units
Units sold this year 21,000 units
Direct materials $19 per unit
Direct labor $21 per unit
Variable overhead $3 per unit
Fixed overhead $175,000 in total
Given Advanced Company's data, and the knowledge that the product is sold for $71 per unit and operating expenses are $300,000. Compute the net income under absorption costing.
Answer:
$183,000
Explanation:
Advanced Company
Income Statement for the year - absorption costing
Sales ($71 x 21,000 units) $1,491,000
Less Cost of Sales ($1,008,000)
Gross Profit $483,000
Less Expenses
Operating expenses ($300,000)
Net Income $183,000
where,
Cost of Sales = Units Sold x Product Cost
= 21,000 x $48
= $1,008,000
Product Cost = all manufacturing costs (absorption costing)
= $19 + $21 + $3 + ($175,000 ÷ 35,000)
= $48
Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $10.4 million machine. It will cost $46,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years using straight-line depreciation and will have no salvage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.3 million per year. Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%. You are forecasting incremental free cash flows for Daily Enterprises. Whatare the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine?
Answer:
$2,421,220
Explanation:
Calculation to determine incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine
First step is to calculate The cost of depreciation
Cost of depreciation= $10,4000,00 + $46,000/ 5
Cost of depreciation= $2,089,200
Now let calculate the Incremental free cash flows
Incremental free cash flows = ( $3.9 million - $1,300,000) * (1 - 0.35) + $2,089,200* 0.35
Incremental free cash flows = $1,690,000 + $731,220
Incremental free cash flows=$2,421,220
Therefore the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine is $2,421,220.
Normally you will see US Labor Productivity Increasing at an annual rate of around 6%. In reading the book you should see that it must continue to increase for our country to continue to have the standard of living that we do. What seemed odd to me was that in the 3rd Quarter of 2009, while our country is in the midst of a very deep recession, this number went to 14.8%. In the 4th Quarter it dropped to 6.4% and in the 1st Quarter of this year it was at 2.5%. Why the Big Spike in the 3rd Quarter of 2009
Answer: c) Employees are fearful of losing their jobs, so they are working harder and complaining less.
Explanation:
Research has shown that during periods of recession, people tend to work harder than they do before the recession which has the effect of boosting productivity levels during that period.
The simply reason for this is, fear. In a recession, businesses come under a lot of pressure to reduce their workforce in order to save costs which leads to a rise in unemployment. Workers that are laid off are usually the unproductive ones so workers begin to put in more work during this time so that they do not get laid off.

Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Direct materials 6.4 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce.
Actual output 6,000 units
Raw materials used in production 33,400 ounces
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (6.4*6,000 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (38,400 - 33,400)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $10,000 favorable
Your child is planning attend summer camp for 3 months, starting 12 months from now. The cost for camp is $2,676 per month, each month, for the 3 months she will attend. If your investments earn 2.3% APR (compounded monthly), how much must you invest each month, starting next month, for 3 months such that your investment will grow to just cover the cost of the camp
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $2,625.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total cost= 2,676*3= $8,028
Monthly interest rate0 0.023/12= 0.00192
First, we need to calculate the nominal value required at the end of the third month:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
FV= 8,028
i= 0.00192
n= 9 months
PV= 8,028 / (1.00192^9)
PV= $7,890.6
Now, the monthly investment to reach $7,890.6:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,890.6*0.00192) / [(1.00192^3) - 1]
A= $2,625.16

Do not round intermediate calculations. a. $27.80 b. $33.23 c. $31.63 d. $28.76 e. $31.95
Answer:
Option E is correct
Price of share = $31.95
Explanation:
The price of the share is the future dividend discounted at the required rate of return .
The required rate of return is the cost of equity . The cost of equity is computed as follows:
Cost of equity = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf= 4.50, Rm= 10.50, β= 0,75
Ke= 4.50% + 0.75×(10.50-4.50)
Ke= 9%
Price of share = Do×(1+g)/(Ke-g)
Price of the share = 0.75 × (1.065)/(0.09-0.065)
= 31.95
Price of share = $31.95

Onini, Inc. produces one product with two production levels: 20,000 units and 80,000 units. At each production level, Onini's per-unit costs for Costs A, B, and C are:
Cost A (per unit) Cost B (per unit) Cost C (per unit)
Production = 20,000 $12.00 $15.00
$20.00
Production = 80,000 $12.00 $11.25
$5.00
What type of cost is each?
A. Cost A is variable, Cost B is mixed, and Cost C is fixed.
B. Cost A is fixed, Cost B is variable, and Cost C is mixed
C. Cost A s variable, Cost B is fixed, and Cost C is mixed.
D. Cost A is fixed, Cost B is mixed, and Cost C is variable.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Total fixed cost = 20,000 x 20 = 400,000
80,000 x 5 = 400,000
c is fixed cost
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.
Variable cost is constant per unit produced. Thus A, is variable cost
Mixed cost is cost that combines fixed cost and variable cost

These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.
It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.
The average height of members of the high school basketball team is six feet, three inches. Jerry is on the high school basketball team, so Jerry must be taller than six feet. The argument above is flawed because it confuses:_________
Answer:
The argument is confusing an average for the individuals who make up that average.
Explanation:
The argument assumes that the height of all members of the team is above 6 ft. this is flawed because it assumes that the average height is equal to the height of the members of the team
for example, there are two members in the team
assume that the height of each member is 6 ft 3 inches. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches
Assume that the height of one member is 10.6 in and jerry's height is 2.0. the average height is 6 ft 3 inches. Here Jerry's height is less than 6ft

Corporation was organized on January 1, 2021. The firm was authorized to issue 100,000 shares of $5 par common stock. During 2021, QWN had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity:
Issued 10,400 shares of common stock at $5.80 per share.
Issued 19,600 shares of common stock at $9.30 per share.
Reported a net income of $106,000.
Paid dividends of $53,000.
Purchased 2,600 shares of treasury stock at $11.30 (part of the 19,600 shares issued at $9.30).
Required:
What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021?
Answer:
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Explanation:
Total stockholders' equity
10,400 x $5.80 = $60,320
19,600 x $9.30 = $182,280
Net income (retained earnigns) = $106,000
Paid cash dividends = -$53,000
Purhcase of treasury stocks = -2,600 x $11.30 = -$29,380
Total stochkholders' equity = $266,220
Firms HL and LL are identical except for their leverage ratios and the interest rates they pay on debt. Each has $25 million in invested capital, has $5 million of EBIT, and is in the 40% federal-plus-state tax bracket. Firm HL, however, has a debt-to-capital ratio of 55% and pays 11% interest on its debt, whereas LL has a 20% debt-to-capital ratio and pays only 10% interest on its debt. Neither firm uses preferred stock in its capital structure.
1. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.
ROIC for firm LL is %
ROIC for firm HL is %
2. Calculate the rate of return on equity (ROE) for each firm. Round your answers to two decimal places.
ROE for firm LL is %
ROE for firm HL is %
3. Observing that HL has a higher ROE, LL's treasurer is thinking of raising the debt-to-capital ratio from 20% to 60%, even though that would increase LL's interest rate on all debt to 15%. Calculate the new ROE for LL. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
A. ROIC for firm LL 12%
ROIC for firm HL 12%
B. ROE for firm LL 13.5%
ROE for firm HL 18.6%
C. New ROE for firm LL 16.5%
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm
Using this formula
ROIC=EBIT(1-T)/Total Invested Capital
Let plug in the formula
ROIC=$5 million(1-.40)/$25 million
ROIC=$5 million*.60/$25 million
ROIC=$3 million/$25 million
ROIC=0.12*100
ROIC=12% for both firms
Therefore the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm is:
ROIC for firm LL is 12%
ROIC for firm HL is 12%
B. Calculation to determine the rate of return on equity (ROE) for each firm.
Calculation for ROE for firm LL
First step is to calculate the Debt
Debt=$25 million*20%
Debt=$5 million
Second step is to calculate the Debt Interest
Debt Interest=$5 million*10%
Debt Interest=$500,000
Third step is to calculate the EBIT of firm LL
EBIT of firm LL=$5 million- $500,000
EBIT of firm LL=$4,500,000
Fourth step is to calculate Tax owed
Tax owed =$4,500,000*40%
Tax owed =$1,800,000
Fifth step is to calculate the Net income of firm LL
Net income of firm LL=$4,500,000-$1,800,000
Net income of firm LL=$2,700,000
Sixth step is to calculate the Equity for firm LL
Equity for firm LL=$25million-$5 million
Equity for firm LL=$20 million
Now let calculate the ROE using this formula
ROE=Net income /Equity
Let plug in the formula
ROE=$2,700,000/$20 million*100
ROE=13.5%
Calculation for ROE for firm HL
First step is to calculate the Debt
Debt=$25 million*55%
Debt=$13,750,000
Second step is to calculate the EBIT of firm HL
EBIT of firm HL=$5 million-[(55%*$25 million)*11%]
EBIT of firm HL=$5 million-($13,750,000*11%)
EBIT of firm HL=$5 million-$1,512,500
EBIT of firm HL=$3,487,500
Third step is to calculate the Tax owed
Tax owed =$3,487,500*40%
Tax owed =$1,395,000
Fourth step is to calculate the Net income of firm HL
Net income of firm HL=$3,487,500-$1,395,000
Net income of firm HL=$2,092,500
Fifth step is to calculate the Equity for firm HL
Equity for firm HL=$25million- $13,750,000
Equity for firm HL=$11,250,000
Now let calculate the ROE using this formula
ROE=Net income /Equity
ROE=$2,092,500/$11,250,000*100
ROE=18.6%
Therefore the rate of return on equity (ROE) for each firm is:
ROE for firm LL is 13.5%
ROE for firm HL is 18.6%
C. Calculation to determine the new ROE for LL
First step is to calculate the debt
Debt=$25 million*60%
Debt=$15 million
Second step is to calculate the Debt Interest
Debt Interest=$15 million*15%
Debt Interest=$2,250,000
Third step is to calculate the EBIT of firm LL
EBIT of firm LL=$5 million- $2,250,000
EBIT of firm LL=$2,750,000
Fourth step is to calculate the Tax owed
Tax owed =$2,750,000*40%
Tax owed =$1,100,000
Fifth step is to calculate the Net income of firm LL
Net income of firm LL=$2,750,000-$1,100,000
Net income of firm LL=$1,650,000
Sixth step is to calculate the Equity for firm LL
Equity for firm LL=$25million-$15 million
Equity for firm LL=$10 million
Now let calculate the New ROE using this formula
ROE=Net income /Equity
Let Plug in the formula
ROE=$1,650,000/$10 million*100
ROE=16.5%
Therefore the new ROE for LL is 16.5%
Suppose during 2022 that Cypress Semiconductor Corporation reported net cash provided by operating activities of $96,447,240, cash used in investing of $46,576,080, and cash used in financing of $7,957,440. In addition, cash spent for fixed assets during the period was $27,888,840. No dividends were paid. Calculate free cash flow. (Show a negative free cash flow with either a - sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
Answer:
Free cash flow = $68,558,400
Explanation:
Free cash flow represents the amount that is left to all the providers of capital after the payment of all all operating expenses, working capital and investment in fixed asset expenditures.
It is computed as cash flow made from operation less capital expenditures
Free cash flow = net cashflow from operating activities - fixed assets
= $96,447,240 - $27,888,840
= $68,558,400
Free cash flow = $68,558,400
The dividend irrelevance theory, proposed by Miller and Modigliani, says that provided a firm pays at least some dividends, how much it pays does not affect either its cost of capital or its stock price.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
In the case of theory that developed by MM in this the investor have no need for concering with respect to the dividend policy of the company as in this the sell option is there with regard to the equity portfolio when they need the cash
So according to the given situation, the given statement is false
hence the option b is correct
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 179,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 137,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 21,000 tires for $76.85 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors
c. What is the minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone?
Answer:
A. Reject (Alternative 1) $0
Accept (Alternative 2) -$815,584
Differential effect Income (Alternative 2) -$815,584
B. Goodman should REJECT the special order from Euro Motors
C.$115.69

Minimum price per unit=$115.69
Therefore minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $115.69
Everything else held constant, in the market for reserves, when the federal funds rate is 2%, lowering the interest rate paid on excess reserves rate from 1% to 0.5% has no effect on the federal funds rate. has an indeterminate effect on the federal funds rate. lowers the federal funds rate. raises the federal funds rate.
Answer: lowers the federal funds rate.
Explanation:
The federal funds rate is the rate at which banks lend money to their selves overnight to ensure that they meet lending and reserve requirements.
The interest rate paid on excess reserves rate is the amount of interest that the Fed pays banks to keep excess reserves. If this rate was to decrease, banks would have less incentive to keep excess reserves at the Fed and so would have more money to meet lending and reserve requirements such that they won't need to borrow from other banks as much which would then lead to the federal funds rate decreasing due to less demand.
