1. NPVs, IRRs, and MIRRs for Independent Projects
Edelman Engineering is considering including two pieces of equipment, a truck and an overhead pulley system, in this year's capital budget. The projects are independent. The cash outlay for the truck is $19,000, and that for the pulley system is $20,000. The firm's cost of capital is 12%. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows:
Year Truck Pulley
1 $5,100 $7,500
2 5,100 7,500
3 5,100 7,500
4 5,100 7,500
5 5,100 7,500
Calculate the IRR for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Answer:
IRR for truck = 10.68%
IRR for pulley = 25.41%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow for the truck :
Cash flow in year 0 = $-19,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 5,100
IRR = 10.68%
Cash flow for the pulley :
Cash flow in year 0 = $-20,000
Cash flow each year from year one to five = $7,500
IRR = 25.41%
To find the IRR 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 IRR button and then press the compute button.

Market efficiency Financial theorists have identified two different types of efficiency in financial markets. The first, informational efficiency, contributes to the existence and strength of the other, economic efficiency. The degree of informational efficiency exhibited by a market refers to the types of information incorporated into the prices observed in the market and the speed with which prices adjust when new relevant information is released into the market. Markets are said to exhibit one of three levels of informational efficiency: weak-form efficiency, semistrong-form efficiency, or strong-form efficiency. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a number of market participants receiving and analyzing relevant security and market information in search of the most profitable investments. The potential for a security to generate returns is what generates a profitable investment, since these returns result from price increases and decreases that are larger than they should be based on the riskiness of the investment. True or False: The degree of economic efficiency observed in a market is strongly influenced by the degree of informational efficiency that exists in the same market. False True
Answer: 1. Large
2. Abnormal
3. True
Explanation:
1. At any level, a market’s informational efficiency is likely to be stronger when there is a Large number of market participants.
When there is a larger number of participants, this means that there is a large number of people able to acquire and analyse information about securities and the financial markets.
As a result of this, information is more wide ranging and easily available such that they market has very good information efficiency.
2. The potential for a security to generate Abnormal returns is what generates a profitable investment.
When a security is potentially able to generate abnormal returns, there is a chance of making very profitable returns if those returns are higher or lower than estimated. When returns are estimated, these are usually reflected in the market price already because they are expected, when the returns are better or worse than expected though, this means that the prices were wrong therefore giving a chance of a positive gain on the security.
3. True.
Information efficiency is very important in the market. It can mean the difference between the market being manipulated and used for unfair gains and the market being used fairly by all. Information efficiency gives every market player the same Opportunity to find out about a security and act accordingly instead of select people taking advantage of hidden Opportunities.
What amount would a person with actual cash value (ACV) coverage receive for two-year-old furniture destroyed by a fire? The furniture would cost $1,000 to replace today and had an estimated life of five years.
Answer:
$600
Explanation:
The actual cash value coverage to be received for the two-year old furniture is equivalent to the replacement cost today minus estimated depreciation amount that would have been charged on the furniture till date.
replacement cost is $1,000
estimated depreciation till date=$1000/useful life*number of years the furniture has been put to use
estimated depreciation=$1,000/5*2=$400
actual cash value coverage =$1000-$400=$600
All in all,the amount that a person with actual cash value coverage would receive today on the furniture is $600
Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $135,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 27,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $5,400. The equipment was used for 10,800 hours during Year 1, 8,100 hours in Year 2, and 8,100 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. Round the final answers for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
Straight line depreciation method : $43,200, $43,200, $43,200
Unit of activity deprecation method = $51,840, $38,880, $38,880
Double declining method = $90,000, $30,000, $10,000
Total depreciation expense
Straight line depreciation and unit of activity method = $129,600
Double declining method = $130,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset.
the straight-line method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
( $135,000 - $5,400) / 3 = $43,200
The straight line depreciation method allocates the same deprecation expense for each year of the useful life of the asset. So, the depreciation expense for the 3 years is $43,200.
Total depreciation expense = $43,200 × 3 = $129,600
the units-of-activity method =( hours used in year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Deprecation expense in the first year =
( $135,000 - $5,400) × (10,800 / 27,000) =
$129,600 × 0.4 = $51,840
Deprecation expense in the second year
( $135,000 - $5,400) × (8,100 / 27,000) = $129,600 × 0.3 = $38,880
Deprecation expense in the third year
( $135,000 - $5,400) × (8,100 / 27,000) = $129,600 × 0.3 = $38,880
Total depreciation expense = $129,600
Double declining method = depreciation factor × cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Deprecation factor = 2 / 3 = 0.666667
Depreciation in the first year =
0.666667 x $135,000 = $90,000
Book value = $135,000 - $90,000 = $45,000
Deprecation expense in the second year =
0.666667 x $45,000 = $30,000
Book value = $45,000 - $30,000 = $15,000
Deprecation expense in the third year =
0.666667 x $15,000 = $10,000
Total depreciation expense = $130,000

Keith Inc. has 4 product lines: sour cream, ice cream, yogurt, and butter. Demand of individual products is not affected by changes in other product lines. 30% of the fixed costs are direct, and the other 70% are allocated. Results of June follow: Sour Cream Ice Cream Yogurt Butter Total Units sold 2,000 500 400 200 3,100 Revenue $ 10,000 $ 20,000 $ 10,000 $ 20,000 $ 60,000 Variable departmental costs 6,000 13,000 4,200 4,800 28,000 Fixed costs 5,000 2,000 3,000 7,000 17,000 Net income (loss) $ (1,000 ) $ 5,000 $ 2,800 $ 8,200 $ 15,000 Prepare an incremental analysis of the effect of dropping the sour cream product line. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) $ $
Answer:
-2500
Explanation:
Incremental revenue is - $10,000. This is because the sour cream product line will drop.
Incremental variable departmental cost savings = $6,000. This is because the company will no longer incurr the variable cost of the sour cream product line.
Incremental savings in fixed cost =
5000 * 30%
= 5000 * 0.30 = 1,500. This is because only 30% of the fixed costs are direct costs, which will no longer be incurred by the company)
Incremental increase in net income =
(Incremental revenue + Incremental variable departmental cost savings + Incremental savings in fixed cost)
-$10,000 + $6,000 + $1,500 = - $2,500
Incremental increase in net income = -2500
You have just won a lottery! You will receive $50,000 a year beginning one year from now for 20 years. If your required rate of return is 10%, what is the present value of your winning lottery ticket
Answer:
The prize is worth $425,678.19.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $50,000
The number of years= 20 years.
Rate of return= 10%
First, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual cash flow
FV= {50,000*[(1.1^20)-1]}/0.1
FV= $2,863,749.98
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 2,863,749.98/(1.1^20)
PV= $425,678.19

Noncallable bonds that mature in 10 years were recently issued by Sternglass Inc. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupon of 5.5%. If the current market interest rate is 7.0%, at what price should the bonds sell
Answer:
Price of Bond= $907.766
Explanation:
The price of the bond is the present value of its future cash flow discounted at the required rate of return of 5.5%.
Price of Bond = PV of interest payment +PV of redemption value
PV of interest payment:
interest payment = 5.5%× 1000= 55
PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- 55, r - 7%, n- 10 years
PV = 55, r- 5.5%, n- 10
PV = 55× 1.07^(-10)/0.07= 399.417301
Present Value of redemption
PV = F× (1+r)^(-n)
F= 1000, r- 7%, n- 10 years
PV = 1,000× 1.07^(-10)= 508.3492921
Price of Bond = 508.3492921 + 399.417301= 907.7665931
Price of Bond= $907.766

During the month, the company purchased 45,400 grams of the direct material at $2.70 per gram. The actual direct labor rate was $29.30 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $7.80 per hour. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead rate variance for January is:
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $496 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Variable overhead 0.5 hours $ 8.00 per hour
The company produced 6,200 units using 2,480 direct labor-hours. The actual variable overhead rate was $7.80 per hour.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (8 - 7.8)*2,480
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $496 favorable
Super Saver Groceries purchased store equipment for $44,500. Super Saver estimates that at the end of its 10-year service life, the equipment will be worth $4,500. During the 10-year period, the company expects to use the equipment for a total of 10,000 hours. Super Saver used the equipment for 1,400 hours the first year.Required:Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)1. Straight-line.2. Double-declining-balance.3. Activity-based.
Answer:
1) Using straight line method , depreciation for first year is $4,000
2) Using double declining balance , depreciation for first year is $8,900
3) Using activity based method, depreciation for first year is $5,600
Explanation:
Given:
Cost = $44,500
Useful life = 10 years
Salvage value = $4,500
Useful life in hours = 10,000 hours
Super Saver used the equipment for 1,400 hours the first year.
1) Straight line method
Depreciation for first year = (cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life
= $(44,500 - 4,500) ÷ 10
= $4,000 per year
2) Double declining balance
Depreciation rate = (100 ÷ useful life) × 2
= (100 ÷ 10) × 2
= 20%
Depreciation for first year = $44,500 × 20%
= $8,900
3) Activity based
Rate = cost - salvage value ÷ useful life in hours
= ($44,500 - $4,500) ÷ 10,000
= 4 per hour
Depreciation for first year = 1,400 × 4
= $5,600
An article presents a study that investigated the effect of varying the type of fertilizer on the height of certain Mediterranean woody tree species. In one experiment, three samples, each consisting of ten trees, were grown with three different fertilizers. One, the control group, was grown with a standard fertilizer. Another was grown with a fertilizer containing only half the nutrients of the standard fertilizer. The third was grown with the standard fertilizer to which a commercial slow-release fertilizer had been added. Following are the heights of the trees after one year.
Height Fertilizer Control 17.9 12.2 14.9 13.8 26.1 15.4 20.3 16.9 20.8 14.8 Deficient 7.5 74 13.8 116 115 17 132 129 176 9.5 Slow-releasel 19.8 20.3 16.1 179 124 12.5 174 19.9 27.3 14.4
a) If you want to construct a hypothesis to test for heights of the trees, state your null and alternative hypothesis.
b) Is the experiment a factorial balanced CR design?
c) What is the degree of freedom of treatment sum of square and error sum of square? If SSTrt and SSE is given: SSTrt=192.374 SSE=439.389, what is the value of your test statistics?
d) Compute the SST?
e) We get a p-value of 0.007 and we have significance level 0.05 for this case, state your conclusion of the test.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
The experiment under study from the article involves a single factor fertilizer type, at three levels.
Hence, this is a completely randomized design with p=3 treatments.
Assuming :
[tex]\mu_ 1 ; \mu_2 \ and \ \mu_3[/tex] are mean heights for three types of fertilizer. Therefore, the null and alternative hypotheses are:
Null hypothesis:
[tex]H_o : \mu_ 1 = \mu_2 \ = \ \mu_3[/tex] ( i.e all type of population mean heights for three different fertilizers f are equal )
Alternative hypothesis:
[tex]H_1 :\mu_ 1 \neq \mu_2 \ \neq \ \mu_3[/tex] ( at least one of the fertilizer is not equal )
b.
This is a completely randomized design as p=3 treatment means are compared, where treatments are randomly assigned to the experimental units.
c.
[tex]SSTr(df)=p-1 \\ \\ =3-1 \\ \\=2, \\ \\ df(SSE)=n-p \\ \\ =30-3 \\ \\ =27 \\ \\ MSTr=SSTr/df(SSTr) \\ \\=192.374/2 \\ \\ =96.187; MSE=SSE/df(SSE) \\ \\ =439.389/27 \\ \\ =16.2737 \\ \\ F=MSTr/MSE \\ \\ =96.187/16.2737 \\ \\ =5.91[/tex]
d.
[tex]SST=SSTr+SSE \\ \\ =192.374+439.389\\ \\ =631.763[/tex]
e.
Given that the p-value is 0.007 and F = 5.91
Also;
p-value 0.007 is less than the level of significance 0.05.
Thus ; we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is difference in mean of all types of the fertilizers.

A merchant offers a large group of items at $30\%$ off. Later, the merchant takes $20\%$ off these sale prices and claims that the final price of these items is $50\%$ off the original price. As a percentage of the original price, what is the difference between the true discount and the merchant's claimed discount
Answer:
The difference between the true discount and the merchant's claimed discount is that the true discount is 44% which is a 6% discount difference with the merchant's claimed discount of 50%.
Explanation:
If the merchant offers a 30% discount on products and then, offers a 20% discount from the price with the 30% discount that is not a 50% discount from the initial price as it would be a 44% discount. This because when the 30% discount is applied, customers will pay the 70% of the price and when the 20% discount is applied over this price, customers would be paying the 56% of the price:
70*0.2= 14
70-14= 56
This means that customers would be getting a 44% discount because:
100-56= 44
According to this, the difference between the true discount and the merchant's claimed discount is that the true discount is 44% which is a 6% discount difference with the merchant's claimed discount of 50%.
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
The first discount means that the customer will pay 70% of the original price. The second discount means a selling price of 80% of the discounted price. Because 0.80(0.70) = 0.56 = 56%, the customer pays 56% of the original price and thus receives a discount, for a difference of 50% - 44% = 6%.

Common StocksIf U.S. residents purchase $600 billion worth of foreign assets and foreigners purchase $300 billion worth of U.S. assets:_______.
A. U.S. net capital outflow is $300 billion; capital is flowing into the U.S.
B. U.S. net capital outflow is $300 billion; capital is flowing out of the U.S.
C. U.S. net capital outflow is -$300 billion; capital is flowing into the U.S.
D. U.S. net capital outflow is -$300 billion; capital is flowing out of the U.S.
Answer:
Option B
U.S. net capital outflow is $300 billion; capital is flowing out of the U.S.
Explanation:
We can understand it better when we see it from the perspective of where the money is going to and coming from.
If U.S. residents purchase $600 billion worth of foreign assets, the money is going out from the U.S because residents are paying money to a foreign country for their assets.
From this, the U.S is losing $600 billion
If foreigners purchase $300 billion worth of U.S. assets. This means that money is coming from foreigners into the U.S because the funds will be paid to United States organizations.
This means that the U.s is gaining $300 billion
To get the net flow of cash, we subtract the inflow and the outflow. this will give $300 billion - $ 600 billion. Which is = $300 billion outflow.
Hence the U.S. net capital outflow is $300 billion and capital is flowing out of the U.S.
What are the implications of CIC’s approach to staffing project teams? Is the company using project teams as training grounds for talented fast-trackers, or as dumping grounds for poor performers? How would you advise the CEO to correct the problem? Where would you start? Discuss how issues of organizational structure and power played a role in the manner in which project management declined in effectiveness at CIC.
Answer:
In simple words, This situation is premised on the genuine narrative of a productive institution that has permitted its operation managerial procedures to devolve to the juncture where assignment to something like a development team has often been a sign of deference as well as a symbol of a delayed termination.
The case includes problems of morale, structural impact on programs, and recruitment of the development team. It allows students the chance to see just how, if left untreated, specific behaviour patterns by senior managers and many others in the institution can operate against use of working groups to enhance employee profitability, but instead just make them an unloading ground for discontent and bad employees.
