A company purchased an asset for $2,850,000 that will be used in a 3-year project. The asset is in the 3-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 33.33%, 44.45%, and 14.81%, respectively. What is the book value of the equipment at the end of the project?
A) $211,185.B) $0.C) $633,270.D) $1,900,095.E) $2,638,815.

Answers

Answer:

A) $211,185

Explanation:

The computation of the book value of the equipment at the end of the project is as follows;

Depreciation in Year 1 is

= Asset Price × 33.33%

= $2,850,000 × 33.33%

= $949,905

Depreciation in Year 2 is

= Asset Price × 44.45%

= $2,850,000 × 44.45%

= $1,266,825

And, Depreciation in Year 3 is

= Asset Price × 14.81%

= $2,850,000 × 14.81%

= $422,085

Now

Total Accumulated Depreciation is

= $949,905 + $1,266,825 + $422,085

= $2,638,815

And, finally  

Book Value of the equipment is

= $2,850,000 - $2,638,815

= $211,185

Therefore the correct option is a.

A) $40,000,000.
B) $10,000,000.
C) $1,500,000.
D) $3,000,000.
E) None of the answers is correct.

Answers

Answer:40,000,000

Explanation:

Sales margin: 7.5%

Capital turnover: 2

Invested capital: $20,000,000

The company sales revenue will be calculated thus:

Capital turnover = Sales / Invested capital

Therefore, 2 = Sales / 20,000,000

Sales = 2 × 20,000,000

Sales = 40,000,000

Therefore,the company sales revenue is 40,000,000

b. credit to Sales Revenue for $600.
c. debit to Cash for $600.
d. credit to Sales Revenue for $642.
e. debit to Sales Tax Payable for $42.

Answers

Answer:

Proper Paints Company has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity with no preferred stock. Its before tax cost of debt is 8% and its marginal tax rate is 25%. The current stock price is P0 = $22. The last dividend was D0 = $2.25 and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of equity and it's WACC?

Answers

Answer:

cost of equity = 15.74 %

WACC = 12.33 %

Explanation:

The Weighted Average Cost of Equity (WACC) is the return that is required by providers of Long Term source of finance. WACC assumes the Pooling of Funds Principle when it comes to financing projects.

WACC = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd

Where,

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = 0.65

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = D1 / P0 + g

    = ($2.25 × 1.05)/ $22 + 0.05

    = 15.74 %

D/V = Market Weight of Debt

       = 0.35

Kd = Cost of Debt

    =  8%  × (1 - 0.25)

    = 6 %

Therefore,

WACC = 0.65 × 15.74 % + 0.35 × 6 %

           = 12.33 %

a. Discounting approach MIRR %
b. Reinvestment approach MIRR %
c. Combination approach MIRR €Y.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of MIRR under the following methods are shown below:

a. Using the Discounting Approach:

Interest Rate = 8%

The Present Value of Cash Outflows os

= -$28,100 - $8,500 ÷ 1.08^5

= -$33,884.96

Now  

Let us assume the MIRR be i%

So,

0 = -$33,884.96 + $10,300 ÷ (1 + i) + $13,000 ÷ (1 + i)^2 + $14,900 ÷ (1 + i)^3 + $12,000 ÷ (1 + i)^4

Now use the financial calculator, after using it i is 17.18%

Thus, MIRR is 17.18%

b. Using the Reinvestment Approach:

Interest Rate = 8%

The Future Value of Cash Flows is

= $10,300 × 1.08^4 + $13,000 × 1.08^3 + $14,900 × 1.08^2 + $12,000 × 1.08 - $8,500

= $52,228.65  

Let us assume MIRR be i%

So,  

0 = -$28,100 + $52,228.65 ÷ (1 + i)^5

(1 + i)^5 = 1.85867

1 + i = 1.1320

i = 0.1320

= 13.20%

Thus, MIRR is 13.20%

c. Using the Combination Approach:

Interest Rate = 8%

Present Value of Cash Outflows is

= -$28,100 - $8,500 ÷ 1.08^5

= -$33,884.96

And,  

Future Value of Cash Inflows is

= $10,300 × 1.08^4 + $13,000 × 1.08^3 + $14,900 × 1.08^2 + $12,000 × 1.08

= $60,728.65

Let us assume MIRR be i%

So,  

0 = -$33,884.96 + $60,728.65 ÷ (1 + i)^5

(1 + i)^5 = 1.7922

1 + i = 1.1238

i = 0.1238

= 12.38%

Thus, MIRR is 12.38%

Explanation:

For a pure competition firm is charging a price less than the minimum average variable cost at zero output , will result in a loss than producing at any other level.

What is a pure competition firm?

A theoretical market structure is referred to as pure competition. There are numerous buyers and sellers, and prices are determined by supply and demand. Companies make only enough money to stay in business. If they made too much money, other companies would enter the market and drive down profits.

If a profit-maximizing firm produces a positive output in the short run, then the market price must be greater than or equal to the Average variable cost (AVC) at that output level. Hence when price is less than minimum AVC, the firm produces zero output.

Therefore the market price is less than average variable cost for zero output for pure competition firm.

b. 20.0%.
c. 12.5%.
d. n/a.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculation for Your total return based on U.S. dollars

Total return=(2,440 pounds*$1.61)- (2,340 pounds*$1.52)/ (2,340 pounds*$1.52)

Total return=$3,928.4-$3,556.8/$3,556.8
