|
Annual Sales Volume in Units
|
250,000
|
|
Annual Cash Fixed Costs (ex depreciation)
|
$3,800,000
|
|
Selling Price per Unit
|
$60

Capital expenditures for the purchase of the new equipment will be $10,000,000. Old equipment must be cleared from the site in order to install the new equipment. Proceeds of $80,000 are expected from the removal and sale of the old equipment, which has a book value of $50,000. Cash flows from tax effects are realized at the end of the year when the tax return is filed. As soon as the new equipment is up and running, accounts receivable will increase by $500,000 and will be released at the end of the equipment's useful life. The annual cash fixed costs exclude depreciation charges. There is no salvage value on the new equipment. The company has a 15% cost of capital and the income tax rate is 40%. The equipment will generate cash flows for four years (i.e., the useful life) and the relevant 3-year MACRS depreciation schedule is as follows: 0.333, 0.445, 0.148, and 0.074. Earnings for the overall company are positive.
a) Prepare a cash flow profile that shows the net cash flows for each time period (i.e., time 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Calculate the NPV of the project.
b) What is the payback period (be precise)?

Determine the sales-volume variance
: In tabular format, recreate the master budget and prepare the flexible budget and determine the sales-volume variance, sales price variance, and the total fixed cost variance.
|
|
Explain import dependency ratio
: For each of the following concepts provide a definition, a complete explanation as to their significance, and a practical example.
|
|
What is the actual force of friction
: The springs of a 1300 {rm kg} car compress 6.0 {rm mm} when its 62 {rm kg} driver gets into the driver's seat. If the car goes over a bump, what would be the frequency of vibrations.

Recognizing independent variable and dependent variable
: Recognize independent variable and dependent variable for this experiment. Think in your head what influences what? Or, what causes what? Cause is independent variable.

|
Purpose a cash flow
: Purpose a cash flow profile that shows the net cash flows for each time period (i.e., time 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Calculate the NPV of the project.

|
Minimize cost in the long run
: Illustrate what is the cost of producing 10 units in the short run? First conclude how much labor is needed.
|
|
Describe sustainable and conventional agriculture
: For each of the following concepts provide a definition, a complete explanation as to their significance, and a practical example.

|
Based a variable costing approach
: Based a variable costing approach, how would you maximize profits and Based on a throughput costing approach, how would you maximize profits?
|
|
Interpretation of simple linear regression
: Suppose you are given a grant to run a controlled experiment. Explain how you would structure the experiment in order to estimate the casual effect of hours on sat.
