Note: This question is not complete has the options are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Mcclam, Inc., is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $100,000 and would last for 9 years. At the end of 9 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $23,000. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $19,000 per year. Additional working capital of $2,000 would be needed immediately. All of this working capital would be recovered at the end of the life of the machine. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:
A. $3,833
B. $5,167
C. -$2,492
D. $11,514
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Given:
Machine cost = $100,000
Additional working capital = $2,000
Salvage value = $23,000
A = Annual cost saving = $19,000
r = minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
The net present value of the proposed project is now calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the total cost
TC = Total cost = Machine cost + Additional working capital = $100,000 + $2,000 = $102,000
Step 2: Calculation of the present value of the annual cost saving
The present value of the annual cost saving can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PVACS = A * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PVACS = Present value of annual cost saving = ?
A = Annual cost saving = $19,000
r = Minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PVACS = $19,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.13))^9) / 0.13)
PVACS = $19,000 * 5.13165512782676
PVACS = $97,501.45
Step 3: Calculation of the present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PVSW = SW / (1 + r)^n ……………………….. (2)
Where;
PVSW = present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital = ?
SW = salvage value and the recovered working capital = $23,000 + $2,000 = $25,000
r = Minimum pretax return = 13%, or 0.13
n = number of useful years of the machine = 9
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
PVSW = $25,000 / (1 + 0.13)^9
PVSW = $25,000 / 3.00404193798427
PVSW = $8,322.12
Step 4: Calculation of the net present value of the proposed project
This can be calculated as follows:
NPV = PVACS + PVSV - TC ……………………………. (3)
Where;
NPV = net present value of the proposed project = ?
PVACS = Present value of annual cost saving = $97,501.45
PVSW = present value of the salvage value and the recovered working capital = $8,322.12
TC = Total cost = Machine cost + Additional working capital = $100,000 + $2,000 = $102,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
NPV = $97,501.45 + $8,322.12 - $102,000
NPV = $3,824
From the options in the question, the calculated NPV of $3,823.57 is close to option A. $3,833. Therefore, the net present value of the proposed project is closest to $3,833.
Hepburn Company transferred $58,000 of accounts receivable to a local bank. The transfer was made without recourse. The local bank remits 60% of the factored amount to Hepburn and retains the remaining 40%. When the bank collects the receivables, it will remit to Hepburn the retained amount less a fee equal to 1% of the total amount factored. Hepburn estimates a fair value of its 15% interest in the receivables of $12,000 (not including the 1% fee). Hepburn will show an amount receivable from factor of: Multiple Choice $23,200. $12,000. $11,420. $22,620.
Answer: $11420
Explanation:
The amount that Hepburn will show as an amount receivable from factor will be the estimated fair value of the interest in receivables minus the factoring fee given in the question. This will be:
= $12,000 - ($58,000 × 1%)
= $12,000 - ($58,000 × 0.01)
= $12,000 - $580
= $11,420
On June 1, 2021, Emmet Property Management entered into a 2-year contract to oversee leasing and maintenance for an apartment building. The contract starts on July 1, 2021. Under the terms of the contract, Emmet will be paid a fixed fee of $54,000 per year and will receive an additional 10% of the fixed fee at the end of each year provided that building occupancy exceeds 80%. Emmet estimates a 20% chance it will exceed the occupancy threshold, and concludes the revenue recognition over time is appropriate for this contract. Assume Emmet estimates variable consideration as the most likely amount. How much revenue should Emmet recognize on this contract in 2021? Multiple Choice $27,540 $54,000 $30,750 $27,000
Answer:
$27,540
Explanation:
Expected amount = Possible amount into probability
Expected amount = ($54,000*80%) + ($54,000+10%)*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + ($54,000+$5,400)*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + $59,400*20%
Expected amount = $43,200 + $11,880
Expected amount = $55,080
Revenue to be recognized on this contract in 2021 = $55,080 * 6/12 = $27,540.

Vandezande Inc. is considering the acquisition of a new machine that costs $438,000 and has a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value The incremental net operating income and incremental net cash flows that would be produced by the machine are (ignore income taxes) Incremental Incremental Net Operating Net Cash Income s 79, 000 $ 85,000 Year 3 96,000 Year 4 59,000 Year S $101,000 Flows Year 1 Year 2 $154, 000 $164,000 $175, 000 $161,000 $163,000 Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment The payback period of this investment is closest to:___________ a) 22 years b) 5.0 years c) 4.3 years d) 2.7 years
Answer:
Vandezande Inc.
The payback period of this investment is closest to:___________
d) 2.7 years
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Incremental Net Operating Incomes Net Cash Flows Incremental cash
Year 1 $79, 000 $154, 000
Year 2 $ 85,000 $164,000 $318,000
Year 3 96,000 $175, 000 493,000
Year 4 59,000 $161,000 654,000
Year 5 $101,000 $163,000 817,000
Total $420,000 $817,000
Payback period = Cash outflow/ (Total cash inflows/5)
= $438,000/($817,000/5)
= $438,000/$163,400
= 2.68
= 2.7 years
b) Payback period is the time an investment takes to recover its initial cost, at which the break-even point is reached. Shorter payback period increases the attractiveness and desirability of an investment. Another method to calculate the payback period is the subtraction method. This involves subtracting the cash inflows from the cash outflow until the cash outflow becomes zero.

The Tierney Group has two divisions of equal size: an office furniture manufacturing division and a data processing division. Its CFO believes that stand-alone data processor companies typically have a WACC of 9%, while stand-alone furniture manufacturers typically have a 13% WACC. She also believes that the data processing and manufacturing divisions have the same risk as their typical peers. Consequently, she estimates that the composite, or corporate, WACC is 11%. A consultant has suggested using a 9% hurdle rate for the data processing division and a 13% hurdle rate for the manufacturing division. However, the CFO disagrees, and she has assigned an 11% WACC to all projects in both divisions. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. The decision not to adjust for risk means, in effect, that it is favoring the data processing division. Therefore, that division is likely to become a larger part of the consolidated company over time.
B. The decision not to adjust for risk means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division. This will lead to a reduction in the firm's intrinsic value over time.
C. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the data processing business and too few projects in the manufacturing business. This will lead to a reduction in its intrinsic value over time.
D. The decision not to risk-adjust means that the company will accept too many projects in the manufacturing business and too few projects in the data processing business. This may affect the firm's capital structure but it will not affect its intrinsic value.
E. While the decision to use just one WACC will result in its accepting more projects in the manufacturing division and fewer projects in its data processing division than if it followed the consultant's recommendation, this should not affect the firm's intrinsic value.
Answer:
The Correct statement is option B. The decision of the company not to adjust for risk means that the company will have to accept too many projects in the office furniture manufacturing division and too few in the data processing division.
Explanation:
Based on the information given the decision of the company not to adjust to the risks will lead to the firm accepting project that are too many in the office furniture Manufacturing Divsion while that of data processing Division will accept too few project, which means that the firm will be at risk in a situation where they want to raise the cost of capital reason been that the company cash flow will be Discounted by the investor at a rate that is high which will inturn Lead to the company value to decline.
Therefore The Correct statement is option B.

If Bramble could avoid $3000 of fixed overhead by accepting the offer, net income would increase (decrease) by $(2052). $6534. $534. $(5697).
Answer:
$6534
Explanation:
Calculation for how much the net income would increase or (decrease)
First step is to calculate Total Costs to Make
Direct materials $7,812
Direct labor 10,509
Variable overhead 11,718
Avoidable Fixed 3,000
Total Costs to Make 33,039
Second step is to calculate the Total Costs to Buy
Costs to Buy= $2.85 * 9,300 units
Costs to Buy= $26,505
Last step is to calculate Net Income Increase or Decrease using this formula
Net Income Increase or Decrease = Costs to Make – Costs to Buy
Net Income Increase or Decrease =$ 33,039 -$26,505
Net Income Increase or Decrease = $6534
Therefore how much the net income would increase or (decrease) will be $6534

ERP is primarily used by manufacturing organizations and does not serve service organizations well. c. ERP main modules include manufacturing, human resource, accounting and finance, and supply chain management d. ERP is a large, integrated information system that supports many enterprise processes and data storage needs.
Answer: b. ERP is primarily used by manufacturing organizations and does not serve service organizations well.
Explanation:
Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) is very useful to companies as it supports many enterprise processes by integrating resources of the company such as manufacturing, finance and supply chain management with the view to make operations more efficient.
It is false that it does not serve Service organizations well because ERP takes into account the unique resources that an organization has so it does not matter if it is a service or a manufacturing organization. It serves both.

You founded your own firm three years ago. You initially contributed $200,000 of your own money and in return you received 2 million shares of stock. Since then, you have sold an additional 1 million shares of stock to angel investors. You are now considering raising capital from a venture capital firm. This venture capital firm would invest $5 million and would receive 4 million newly issued shares in return. After the venture capitalist's investment, the post-money valuation of your shares is closest to
Answer:
$5 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the post-money valuation of your shares
First step is to calculate the total shares outstanding after the venture capitalist's investment:
Total shares = 2 million shares + 1 million shares + 4 million shares
Total shares = 7 million shares
Second step is to calculate the Amount paid by venture capitalist
Using this formula
Amount paid by venture capitalist = Total value / Number of shares purchased
Let plug in the formula
Amount paid by venture capitalist = $5 million / 4 million shares
Amount paid by venture capitalist = $1.25 per share
Last step is to calculate the post-money valuation
Using this formula
Post-money valuation = Amount paid by venture capitalist * Shares subscribed
Let plug in the formula
Post-money valuation = $1.25 * 4 million shares
Post-money valuation = $5 million
Therefore After the venture capitalist's investment, the post-money valuation of your shares is closest to$5 million

Cold records no other permanent or temporary book-tax differences. At the end of year 2, Cold's management determines that the existing valuation allowance of $40,000 should be reduced to zero. What is Cold's total tax expense for year 2
Answer:
170,000
Explanation:
With $600,000 of book income, the potential total book tax expense is $210,000 ($600,000 × 35%). However, the release of the $40,000 valuation allowance in the current year allows an additional $40,000 of future tax benefits (savings) to be considered in the current year. Accordingly, the total tax expense is $170,000 ($210,000 – $40,000).
Cold's management determines that the existing valuation allowance of $40,000 should be reduced to zero. The Cold's total tax expense for year 2 is 170,000.
What is valuation allowance?The amount of a deferred tax asset is offset by a reserve called a valuation allowance. Based on that element of the tax asset for which it is more probable than not that a tax advantage won't be realized by the reporting business, the allowance's size is determined.
The potential total book tax expense with $600,000 in book income is $210,000 ($600,000 x 35%).
However, an additional $40,000 in future tax benefits (savings) can be taken into account in the current year due to the release of the valuation allowance in the current year.
The total tax expense is therefore $170,000 ($210,000 - $40,000).

You purchased eight TJH call option contracts with a strike price of $37.50 when the option quote was $.55. The option expires today when the value of TJH stock is $37.10. Ignoring trading costs and taxes, what is your total profit on your investment
Answer:
-$4.40
Explanation:
Buyer of Call payoff = Max(S-K,0)
Buyer of Call payoff = Max(37.1-37.5,0)
Buyer of Call payoff = $0
Buyer of Call profit = Call payoff-premium
Buyer of Call profit = 0 - 0.55
Buyer of Call profit = -$0.55
So, for 8 options, Loss = 8*-$0.55 = -$4.40
So therefore, the total profit/loss on eight call option is -$4.40
According to the Taylor rule, if inflation is 9% and the GDP gap is 4%, what is the recommendation for the federal funds rate target?
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
The Taylor Rule suggests that the Federal reserve should raise the fed funds rate if inflation rates are above the targeted rates and/ or if GDP is growing at a higher rate than it potentially should.
The rate is calculated as;
Federal funds rate target = (1.5 * Inflation rate) + (0.5 * GDP gap) + 1
= (1.5 * 9%) + (0.5 * 4%) + 1%
= 13.5% + 2% + 1
= 16.5%
Accounts Receivable: $24,000Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts: $1,000During the year there were $450,000 of credit sales, $460,000 of collections from credit customers, and $3,700 of write-offs of delinquent accounts. At the end of the year, the company adjusted for bad debts expense using the percent-of-sales method, and applied a rate, based on past history, of 1.2%. At the end of the year, what was the balance in the Accounts receivable
Answer: $10,300
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Opening balance of the account receivable = $24,000
Accounts receivable after the credit sales would be calculated as:
= $24,000 + $450,000
= $474,000
We then calculate the accounts receivable after the collection of credit which will be:
= $474,000 - $460,000
= $14,000
Therefore, the the balance in the accounts receivable would be:
=$14,000 - $3,700
= $10,300
Consider the following two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.20. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and a beta of 1.80. The expected market rate of return is 9% and the risk-free rate is 5%. Which security would be considered a good buy?
Answer: Stock B
Explanation:
Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.
Stock A
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)
= 9.8%
Stock B
Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)
= 12.2%
Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.
The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.
Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%
Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%
Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy.
