Suppose Cute Camel Woodcraft Company is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial investment of $400,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows:
Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $325,000
Year 2 $500,000
Year 3 $400,000
Year 4 $475,000
Cute Camel Woodcraft Company's weighted average cost of capital is 8%, and project Alpha has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project Alpha's net present value (NPV)?
Answer:
$996,267.41
Explanation:
The Net Present Value of Alpha`s project can be determined by using the CFj Function of a Financial Calculator as follows :
- $400,000 CF0
$325,000 CF1
$500,000 CF2
$400,000 CF3
$475,000 CF4
I/YR = 8%
Then, SHIFT NPV gives $996,267.41
Thus, Alpha's net present value (NPV) is $996,267.41.

Cape Corp. will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5 percent a year forever.
a. If you want a return of 15 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
b. If you want a return of 8 percent, how much will you pay for the stock?
Answer:
a.
$27.27
b.
$75
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of the stock
Value of Stock = Expected Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )
a.
Where
Expected Dividend = $3.00

Expected Dividend = $3.00
Rate of return = 8%
Growth rate = 4.5%
Placing values in the formula
Value of Stock = $3.00 / ( 8% - 4% )
Value of Stock = $3 / 4%
Value of Stock = $75

Item X is a standard item stocked in a company's inventory of component parts. Each year the firm, on a random basis, uses about 1,600 of item X, which costs $25 each. Storage costs, which include insurance and cost of capital, amount to $6 per unit of average inventory. Every time an order is placed for more of item X, it costs $12. a. Whenever item X is ordered, what should the order size be
Answer:
80 quantities
Explanation:
to get the order size of the item, we have to use this formula
[tex]optimal quantity = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]
From this formula above,
D = annual demand = 1600
s = set up cost= 12
h = holding cost = 6
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*1600*12}{6} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{6400} \\=80[/tex]
from this solution above, the order size should be 80 quantities

Question 3 4 Marks Mi Tierra Driving School charges $680 per student to prepare and administer written and driving tests. Variable costs of $408 per student include trainers’ wages, study materials, and gasoline. Annual fixed costs of $63,920 include the training facility and fleet of cars. Requirements 1. For each of the following independent situations, calculate the contribution margin per unit and the breakeven point in units by first referring to the original data provided: a. Breakeven point with no change in information. b. Decrease sales price to $544 per student. c. Decrease variable costs to $340 per student. d. Decrease fixed costs to $53,040.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $680
Unitary variable cost= $408
Fixed cost= $63,920
To calculate the contribution margin and break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
a:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 272
Break-even point in units= 235
b:
Unitary contribution margin= 544 - 408= $136
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 136
Break-even point in units= 470
c:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 340= $340
Break-even point in units= 63,920 / 340
Break-even point in units= 188
d:
Unitary contribution margin= 680 - 408= $272
Break-even point in units= 53,040 / 272
Break-even point in units= 195
The forecasted sales pertain to Arrow Corporation: Month Sales September $400,000 October 320,000 Finished Goods Inventory (August 31): 28,000 Arrow Corporation has a selling price of $5 on all units and expects to maintain ending inventories equal to 25 percent of the next month's sales. How many units does Arrow expect to produce in September
Answer:
68,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that produced in september is given below;
The sales units at September is
= $400,000 ÷ 5
= 80,000 units
And, the october sales units is
= $320,000 ÷ 5
= 64,000 units
So, the production should be
= Ending finished units + sales units - beginning finished units
= (25% of 64,000 units) + 80,000 units - 28,000 units
= 16,000 units + 80,000 units - 28,000 units
= 68,000 units

On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:

Green Thumb Nursery has 32,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $62.15 per share. The earnings per share are $3.15. The firm has total assets of $315,000 and total liabilities of $186,000. Today, the firm announced a share repurchase for $75,000 of its stock. What is the earnings per share after the repurchase?
Answer:
$3.27
Explanation:
Earnings = Earnings per share * Number of stock outstanding
Earnings = $3.15 * 32,000 shares
Earnings = $100,800
Number of shares repurchased = $75,000 / $62.15
Number of shares repurchased = 1206.75784393
Number of shares repurchased = 1,207
Number of stock outstanding = 32,000 - 1,207
Number of stock outstanding = 30,793
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = Earnings / Number of stock outstanding
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $100,800 / 30,793
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.2734712435
Earnings per share after the stock repurchase = $3.27

Outsourcing of jobs from large corporations to domestic subcontractors has been one reason job have been become more insecure in the U.S. recently.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
a. true
Explanation:
In Business management, outsourcing can be defined as a process which involves an agreement between two companies that allows for the provision of services or job functions by another.
When a company is outsourced, it engages the service of another company (third-party) to perform some of its duties rather than the use of an in-house department or employees to handle them. The outsourcing firm is saddled with the responsibility of physically distributing the goods or services of the outsourced company.
Hence, outsourcing simply means the use of supply chain partners of a large corporation to provide products or services for the end users or consumers.
In the United States of America, outsourcing of jobs and services from large corporations to domestic subcontractors (outsourcing companies) is one of the main reason job have become more insecure recently.
During the current calendar year, Bowman Corporation purchased $660,000 of inventory. The beginning inventory balance was $84,000, and the inventory balance at year-end was $120,000. The inventory turnover for the current year was:
Answer:
6.12 times
Explanation:
Cost of Goods Sold = $84,000 + $660,000 - $120,000
Cost of Goods Sold = $624,000
Average inventory = ($84,000 + $120,000) / 2
Average inventory = $102,000
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average inventory
Inventory Turnover = $624,000 / $102,000
Inventory Turnover = 6.117647059
Inventory Turnover = 6.12 times
