Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $430,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $48,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $279,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $48,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $27,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV
Answer:
NPV = $91,412.60
Explanation:
initial outlay = $430,000 (equipment cost) + $27,000 (increase in net working capital) = $457,000
revenue per year (without considering depreciation) = {[$279,000 x (1 - 35%)] - $48,000} x (1 - 21%) = $105,346.50
additional revenue generated by bonus depreciation = $430,000 x 21% = $90,300
after tax salvage value = $48,000 x (1 . 21%) = $37,920
Cash flow year 0 = -$457,000
Cash flow year 1 = $105,346.50 + $90,300 = $195,646.50
Cash flow year 2 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 3 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 4 = $105,346.50
Cash flow year 5 = $105,346.50 + $37,920 + $27,000 = $170,266.50
discount rate = 8%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $91,412.60
Prior to safely smoking meat for food preservation, what must an operation have?
An operation must have a variance from regulatory authorities prior to smoking meat safely for food preservation.
A variance is simply an official permit that allows entities to do something that is ordinarily forbidden by regulation. Food safety methods that often require a variance include the smoking of food as a method of preservation but not as a flavor enhancer; and more often than not, follows a strict HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point).
Therefore, if an operation (business or organization) intends to smoke food as a preservative method during food processing, they need to seek and gain variance from the local regulatory authority.

Under corporate law, corporations are given the same rights as
A. the Federal Reserve
B. intellectual property
C. individuals
D. foreign countries
Answer:
C. individuals
Explanation:
The law treats corporates organizations as legal citizens. It gives them commercial right to own property, enter into contracts, and incur debts. Corporates have tax obligations, just like individuals. They can sue and be sued.
The law considers a corporate as a separate entity from its owners. It distinguishes the assets and liabilities of the institutions as different from those of its founders. A corporate has an infinite life. The death of its shareholders does not automatically mean its termination.
Answer:
C. Individuals is the correct option

Year1-Year Forward Rate 15.8% 26.4% 37.1% 47.3% 57.4%What would the yield to maturity be on a four-year zero-coupon bond purchased today
Answer:
b. 6.65%
Explanation:
Note: The organized question is attached below
Yield of maturity = [(1+forward rate of years 1) * (1+forward rate of years 2) * (1+forward rate of years 3) * (1+forward rate of years 4)]^(1/4) - 1
Yield of maturity = [(1+5.8%) * (1+6.4%) * (1+7.1%) * (1+7.3%)]^(1/4) - 1
Yield of maturity = (1.058 * 1.064 * 1.071 * 1.0730)^(1/4) - 1
Yield of maturity = 1.293649093296^(1/4) - 1
Yield of maturity = 1.06648345438 - 1
Yield of maturity = 0.06648345438
Yield of maturity = 6.6483%
Yield of maturity = 6.65%
In the long run, a decrease in the money supply will
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
decrease the price level.
increase real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
increase the price level.
Answer:
decrease real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Explanation:
GDP represents the total value of a country output. The calculation of GDP using the expensive method is identical to that of the aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the total of government spending, consumer spending, investment, and net exports. Therefore, GDP and aggregate demand are the same.
A decrease in the money supply leads to firms and households having less money to spend. Reduction in disposable income results in reduced consumer spending, which has adverse effects on aggregate demand. Therefore, reduced money supply results in a decline in consumer spending and reduced aggregate demand, leading to a reduction in a country's output.

A company is considering two mutually exclusive expansion plans. Plan A requires a $40 million expenditure on a large-scale integrated plant that would provide expected cash flows of $6.39 million per year for 20 years. Plan B requires a $13 million expenditure to build a somewhat less efficient, more labor-intensive plant with an expected cash flow of $2.91 million per year for 20 years. The firm's WACC is 9%.Calculate each project's NPV. Round your answers to two decimal places. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55.Plan A $ millionPlan B $ millionCalculate each project's IRR. Round your answer to two decimal places.Plan A %Plan B %Graph the NPV profiles for Plan A and Plan B and approximate the crossover rate to the nearest percent.Calculate the crossover rate where the two projects' NPVs are equal. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.%
Answer:
Project A:
initial outlay -$40 million
cash flows $6.39 million for 20 years
PV of cash flows = $6,390,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $58,331,115
NPV = -$40,000,000 + $58,331,115 = $18,331,115 ≈ $18.33 million
IRR = 15%
Project B:
initial outlay -$13 million
cash flows $2.91 million for 20 years
PV of cash flows = $2,910,000 x 9.1285 (PV annuity factor, 9%, 20 periods) = $26,563,935
NPV = -$13,000,000 + $26,563,935 = $13,563,935 ≈ $13.56 million
IRR = 22%
Crossover rate = 11.4%
I solved the cross over rate the following way:
project A project B difference
-40 -13 -27
6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48

6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48
6,39 2,91 3,48
Using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet, find the IRR of the difference and that is the crossover rate (discount rate at which both projects have the same NPV).
Lovely Lotion Inc. produces three different lotions: hand, body, and foot. The lotions are produced jointly in a mixing process that costs a total of $250 per batch. At the split-off point, one batch produces 80, 40, and 25 bottles of hand, body, and foot lotion, respectively. After the split-off point, hand lotion is sold immediately for $2.50 per bottle. Body lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.25 per bottle and then sold for $5.75 per bottle. Foot lotion is processed further at an additional cost of $0.85 per bottle and then sold for $4.00 per bottle. Assume that body and foot lotion could be sold at the split-off point for $3.00 and $3.20 per bottle, respectively.
1. Using the market value at split-off method, allocate the joint costs of production to each product.
2. A lotion manufacturing company produces three types of lotions. After the split-off point the company continues to sell the body lotion and makes $0.25 profit per bottle. The foot lotion generates $0.05 loss per bottle. Which lotion should be continued after the split-off point?
A. Hand lotion.
B. Body lotion.
C. Foot lotion.
D. Body and foot lotion.
3. Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the net realizable value method.
Answer:
1) Hand lotion : Joint cost = $250
body lotion : joint cost = $250
foot lotion : Joint cost = $250
2) Body lotion
The joint costs of production for each product is : $250
Explanation:
cost per batch = $250
At spit off point
one batch produces : 80 bottles of hand lotion, 40 body lotions, 25 foot lotion
After spit-off point : Hand lotion is $2.5 per bottle
cost of further processing of body lotion = $0.25
value of body lotion = $5.75
cost of further processing of foot lotion = $0.85
market value of foot lotion = $4.00
Assuming that body and foot lotion could be sold at the split-off point for $3.00 and $3.20 per bottle, respectively.
1 ) using the market value at split-off method to allocate the joint costs of production to each product
Hand lotion : Joint cost = $250
body lotion : joint cost = $250
foot lotion : Joint cost = $250
this is because the joint cost of producing each product in every batch is the same
2) The lotion that should be continued after split-off is
Body lotion because the market value after split-off - cost for further production is better off other lotions ( highest market value after split-off)
i.e : $5.75 - $0.25 = $ 5.50
The joint costs of production for each product is : $250
During its first year of operations, Drone Zone Corporation (DZC) bought goods from a manufacturer on account at a cost of $55,000.

Answer:
A. Time-Series data
B. Cross-sectional data
C. Cross-sectional data
D. Time-Series data
Explanation:
For Your Understanding:
If the time period is single then use Cross-sectional data.
If their are multiple time periods then use time-series.
A. To determine whether or not the enrollment in higher education is increasing we will use time-series data because enrollment of students is a periodical event and occurs every year. So this means periodic study would be better with time-series data.
B. For comparing the current price of a gallon of gasoline across different gas stations in Los Angeles, CA: we are considering prices in a single time period. Thus the we will use cross-sectional data.
C. For finding see any differences in the average number of calories contained in school lunches served in each of the fifty states on December 1, 2015: we are considering a single time period. Thus we will use here cross-sectional data.
D. To find out the insect population and comparing them with insect population in a geographic region before and after insecticide was used: we will consider two time periods. As the time periods are more than one, hence we will use time-series data here.
Builders Corporation (Builders) is a general contractor. Builders wished to bid on a construction project and solicited bids from a variety of subcontractors. Four electrical subcontractors, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, submitted bids to Builders. The bids were as follows: Alpha- $75,000; Beta- $85,000; Gamma- $90,000; Delta- $95,000. As Builders was preparing its bid on the construction project based upon the low bid submitted by Alpha, Builders’ president called Alpha and told him, "We won’t be able to do it with your present bid, but if you can shave off $5,000, I’m sure that the numbers will be there for us to get that project." Alpha responded, "No way! In fact, that bid we submitted was based on a $15,000 error; we can’t do it for a cent less than $90,000." Nevertheless, Builders submitted its bid for the construction project using Alpha’s original $75,000 bid. Builders was not awarded the construction job and subsequently sued Alpha. Alpha is liable for:________.
Answer:
Alpha is liable for nothing.
Explanation:
Builders requested Alpha to make a discount (which is considered a counteroffer) but Alpha rejected it. At this point there was no valid offer anymore, and luckily for Builders, they lost the bid. Since a counteroffer invalidates an original offer, Alpha didn't have any type of obligation with Builders to perform at $75,000. The new price between them was $90,000, take it or leave it. Builder's president made a mistake when he made his counteroffer and if they had won the contract, then they would have needed to look at the other offers.
Builders asked Alpha for a discount, however, Alpha declined. At this moment, there's no longer a legitimate offer, as well as fortunately for Builders, they dropped the bid.
Because a counteroffer nullifies an earlier commitment, Alpha was under no duty to Contractors to execute at $75,000. They agreed on new pricing of $90,000, accept or reject it.This same president make mistake when before he submitted his counteroffer because if they will indeed have just been awarded the contract, they would've had to examine the other proposals.Thus the statement above is correct.

The contract drawings prepared by the architect are generally not specific enough to facilitate accurate fabrication of the materials involved. Therefore, to produce the necessary materials for a project, subcontractors and suppliers must provide ________________________ to amplify/clarify the contract drawings.
Answer:
construction specifications
Explanation:
Construction contracts must always include construction specifications. These specifications refer to what materials, installations and specialized labor is required to perform correctly the building process.
Architects are paid for their blueprints, i.e. their designs. Sometimes an architect can recommend certain materials that fit his/her design, but the contractor is responsible for carrying on the actual construction.
The contractor has to specify which materials will be used and how the construction process will be carried out. E.g. it is not the same to build a house with luxurious materials like expensive floors and ceilings than a normal house.
Larner Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of industrial goods. The company's activity-based costing system contains the following six activity cost pools and activity rates:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rates
Labor-related $7.00 per direct labor-hour
Machine-related $3.00 per machine-hour
Machine setups $40.00 per setup
Production orders $160.00 per order
Shipments $120.00 per shipment
General factory $4.00 per direct labor-hour
Cost and activity data have been supplied for the following products:
J78 B52
Direct materials cost per unit $6.50 $31.00
Direct labor cost per unit $3.75 $6.00
Number of units produced per year 4,000 100
Total Expected Activity J78 B52 Direct labor-hours 1,000 40
Machine-hours 3,200 30
Machine setups 5 1
Production orders 5 1
Shipments 10 1
Required:
Compute the unit product cost of each product listed above.
First, The unitary production cost J78 is = $15.95
Second The unitary production costB52 is = $45.4
How to Compute the unit Product Cost?Firstly, we need to allocate overhead to each product that is:
Then Allocated MOH is = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate × Actual amount of allocation base
The cost and activity data of J78:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×1,000= 7,000
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×3,200= 9,600
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×5= 200
Then Production orders is = 160.00×5= 800
Then Shipments is = 120.00×10= 1,200
The General factory is = 4.00×1,000= 4,000
Therefore, The Total overhead is = $22,800
Then the Unitary overhead is = 22,800/4,000= $5.7
The cost and activity data of B52:
The Labor-related is = 7.00×40= 280
Then Machine-related is = 3.00×30= 90
After that Machine setups is = 40.00×1= 40
Then Production orders is = 160.00×1= 160
Then Shipments is = 120.00×1= 120
After that General factory is = 4.00×40= 160
Therefore The Total overhead is = $850
Then Unitary overhead is = 850/100= $8.5
Now, we calculate the unitary production cost is:
The unitary production cost J78= 6.5 + 3.75 + 5.7= $15.95
The unitary production cost B52= 31 + 6 + 8.5= $45.4

Christiansen Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Total Activity Fabrication 70,000 machine-hours Order Processing 500 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and Salaries $420,000 Depreciation 160,000 Occupancy 200,000 Total $780,000 The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below: Activity Cost Pools Fabrication Order Processing Other Total Wages and Salaries 60% 20% 20% 100% Depreciation 5% 60% 35% 100% Occupancy 25% 50% 25% 100%
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:_______.
A. $312 per order
B. $676 per order
C. $780 per order
D. $560 per order
Answer:
D. $560 per order
Explanation:
For computing the activity rate first determine the total allocation cost which is shown below:
The Total allocation cost is
= Wages & salaries + depreciation + occupancy
= $420,000 × 20% + $160,000 × 60% + $200,000 * 0.50
= $84,000 $96,000 + $$100,000
= $280,000
Now the activity rate is
= $280,000 ÷ 500 orders
= $560 per order

Answer:
Maturity Value = $2,035,500
Explanation:
$2,000,000 are invested
Interest rate = 3.55 %
Time = 180 days
Maturity value = ?
Maturity Value = Amount invested * [1 +( interest * no of days to maturity/360)
Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 + (0.0355*180) /360)
Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 + (6.39/360)
Maturity Value = $2,000,000* [1 + 0.01775]
Maturity Value = $2,000,000 * 1.01775
Maturity Value = $2,035,500
Note: A Certificate of deposit is an interest bearing time deposit.
