Real options Projects are also often embedded with different options that can help making decisions under uncertainty. There are techniques used to evaluate these embedded options which are called real options. The models used to value these options are based on the type of the real option available for the project.
A real option embedded in a capital project gives the investing firm the right but not the obligation to buy, sell, or transform an asset at a set price during a specified period of time.
a. True
b. False
The managers of Atlanta Aeronautics Co. have included a shutdown option into the design of a proposed capital investment project:
I. This option provides a firm with the flexibility to make potentially profitable investments in the future that would not have been possible if the initial project had not been undertaken
II. This option allows a firm to temporarily terminate operations in order to prevent experiencing negative cash flows.
III. This option allows a project to be expanded if demand turns out to be greater than expected.
IV. This option allows the outputs of the production process to be altered if market conditions change during a project's life. Which of the listed statements best describes a shutdown option?
Statement II
Statement I
Statement III
Statement IV
None of the statements listed above describes a shutdown option.
Real option analysis adds value to a project when it is used for which of the following?
a. Modifying the way that decision makers perceive flexibility in capital budgeting activities
b. Expanding the way that managers view risk and uncertainty, seeing them as phenomena to be appreciated and exploited rather than feared and avoided.

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 100%)                                         5,200

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials     30,500

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 30%)                                            1,560

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Conversion Cost 16,860

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit of production  in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units

1. Materials

Unit Cost =  $4,305 ÷ 30,500

                = $0.14

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost =  ($3,320 + $1,738) ÷ 16,860

                = $0.30

3. Total unit cost

Total unit cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                        = $0.14 + $0.30

                        = $0.44

Calculation of costs assigned to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.

(a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods

Total Cost = units completed and transferred out × total unit cost

                 = 15,300 × $0.44

                 = $6,732

(b) units still in process at June 30.

Total Cost = Materials Cost + Conversion Cost

                 = $0.14 × 5,200 + $0.30 × 1,560

                 = $1,196

Answers

Answer: $56,040,000

Explanation:

Here is the question:

1.Under the current policy of using a network of sales agents, calculate the Bonita Beauty Corporation's break-even point in sales dollars for the year.

Sales = $75,000,000

Less: variable cost = $75,000,000 + ($75,000,000 × 8%) = $31,500,000 + $6,000,000 = $37,500,000

Contribution margin = $37,500,000

Fixed cost = 10,260,000 + 10,260,000 + 7,500,000 = $28,020,000

Operating income = $11,130,000

Contribution margin = 0.5

Break even point in sales will now be:

= Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

= $28,020,000/0.5

= $56,040,000

Additionally, foreign direct investment (FDI) are categorized into three (3) main types and these are;

1. Vertical FDI: it involves establishing a different business that is however similar to the main business owned by the investor.

2. Horizontal FDI: it involves establishing the same type of business in a foreign country as owned in the investor's country.

3. Conglomerate FDI: it involves establishing a business that is completely different in another (foreign) country.

The full price of a concert ticket is $75, but Karen was able to get a discounted price of $50 from a friend who purchased the ticket but has become unable to attend. If Karen took 4 hours off from her job to attend the concert, what was her opportunity cost of attending the concert

Answers

Answer:

$25

Explanation:

it said her and her friend.

The opportunity cost for attending the concert is $90. Thus, option (D) is correct.

What is opportunity cost?

Opportunity cost refers to the loss of value or benefit that would result from engaging in a certain activity option in comparison to engaging in an alternative activity that offers a higher return on value or benefit. It gives the value of the best alternative chosen in the process of decision-making.

According to the given question, Karen gets paid $10 per hour for her part-time job. She wanted to attend the concert and price of the concert ticket after getting the discount is $50.

The four hours off from the job will cost = $10 × 4 hours

                                                              = $40

The opportunity cost for attending the concert = $50+$40

                                                                          = $90

Therefore, it can be concluded that opportunity cost will be $90. Hence, option (D) is correct.

In early 2016, the same Germany machinery company has interest from four prospective clients from emerging markets: Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa. They all want to buy ten machines, but the factory can only produce ten in time. Therefore, the company has to choose only one client. Given the volatility of the domestic currencies of the four prospective clients, the CFO would like to choose the client which is least likely to cancel the order due to currency volatility. The invoice comes due on June 30, 2016. According to volatility alone, which prospective client would be most likely to cancel the order?

Answers

Answer:

Brazil

Explanation:

According to the picture below, Brazilian real is the currency that has the lowers currency volatility, its spot is 4.0685, and its forward is 4.1820. These values are way lower than the values of the other three currencies, and for this reason, the CFO should choose the Brazilian client, clearly.

Indonesia is the country that is most likely to cancel this order. This is due to its high volatility.

Following the volatility chart that is attached to this question we can clearly spot that Indonesia has the most likelihood to cancel the order.

The volatility of the currency of the country Indonesia is shown to be high and this high volatility is very much going to have an impact on trade.

When there is a weakness in the currency of a nation, the cost of import would go up.

A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.

Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?

Answers

Answer:

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

Explanation:

Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.

We therefore proceed with the following two steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday

The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?

P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)

PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288

PV at 65 = $6,282.02

Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.

Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:

PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)

Where;

PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969

PV at 50 = $2,621.27

Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

A worker has two jobs, and they can choose to work any number of hours in a day on each job (up to the upper limit, if any), but can only work on one job at a time. The first job pays $10 per hour and has an upper limit of 6 hours per day. The second job pays $6 per hour and has no upper limit (for example, fixed-contract online freelance work). The worker will always choose the first job if they can. Consider their budget constraint with the amount of daily leisure time on the horizontal axis (from 0 to 24 hours) and their consumption expenditure on the vertical axis (which equals their daily income). Based on this information, which of the following is correct?

a. The workers budget constraint is kinked at 6 hours of free time.
b. The worker will never choose to consume exactly 18 hours of free time.
c. The slope of the budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large.
d. For the choice of 8 hours of free time, the maximum expenditure for the day is 96

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large ( C )

Explanation:

The slope of the Budget constraint is -6 when the hours of free time is small, and 10 when the hours of free time is large

This is right, because  whenever the hours of free time is small, This means that he will be under the second job that pays $6 per hour, with no upper limit on work hours, hence he will work more & enjoy less free time.

Hence the slope of BC = 6

The Wod Chemical Company produces a chemical compound that is used as a lawn fertilizer. The compound can be produced at a rate of 10,000 pounds per day. Annual demand for the compound is 0.6 million pounds per year. The fixed cost of setting up for a production run of the chemical is $1,500, and the variable cost of production is $3.50 per pound. The company uses an interest rate of 22 percent to account for the cost of capital, and the costs of storage and handling of the chemical amount to 12 percent of the value. Assume that there are 250 working days in a year.
A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?
B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?
C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

Answers

Answer:

A. What is the optimal size of the production run for this particular compound?

first we have to determine the holding cost per unit = h = (22% + 012%) x ($3.5) = $1.19 per unit, per year

then we have to calculate the modified holding cost per year = h' = h x [1 / (D/P)] = $1.19 x [1 / (600,000/2,500,000)] = $0.9044 per unit, per year

now we have to substitute h for h' in the EOQ formula:

Q' = √ [(2 x S x D) / h'] = √ [(2 x $1,500 x 600,000) / $0.9044] = 44,612.44 ≈ 44,612 units

B. What proportion of each production cycle consists of uptime and what proportion consists of downtime?

Time between production runs = Q' / D = 44,612 / 600,000 = 0.07435333

Uptime = Q' / P = 44,612 / 2,500,000 = 0.0178448

Downtime = total time - uptime = 0.07435333 - 0.0178448 = 0.05650853

uptime = 0.0178448 / 0.07435333 = 24% of total time

downtime = 0.05650853 / 0.07435333 = 76% of total time

C. What is the average annual cost of holding and setup attributed to this item? If the compound sells for $3.90 per pound, what is the annual profit the company is realizing from this item?

average annual holding cost and setup costs = (AD/Q') + (h'Q'/2) = [($1,500 x 600,000) / 44,612] + [($0.9044 x 44,612) / 2] = $40,144

profit per unit = $3.90 - $3.50 = $0.40 per pound

total annual profit = ($0.40 x 600,000) - $40,144 = $199,856

Nanjones Company manufactures a line of products distributed nationally through wholesalers. Presented below are planned manufacturing data for the year and actual data for November of the current year. The company applies overhead based on planned machine hours using a predetermined annual rate.

Planning Data
Annual November
Fixed overhead $1,200,000 $100,000
Variable overhead $2,400,000 $220,000
Direct labor hours 48,000 4,000
Machine hours 240,000 22,000


Data for November

Direct labor hours (actual) 4,200
Direct labor hours (plan based on output) 4,000
Machine hours (actual) 21,600
Machine hours (plan based on output) 21,000
Fixed overhead $101,200
Variable overhead $214,000

Nanjones’ variable overhead spending variance for November was:

a. $6,000 favorable.
b. $2,000 favorable.
c. $14,000 unfavorable.
d. $6,000 unfavorable.

Answers

Answer:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,400,000 / 240,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per machine hour

To calculate the variable overhead spending variance, we need to use the following formula:

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= (15 - 214,000/21,600)*21,600

Variable manufacturing overhead spending variance= $2,000 favorable

The Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is a. $6,000 favorable.

Data and Calculations:

                                            Planning Data                Actual Data    Variances

                                       Annual          November     November  

Fixed overhead          $1,200,000     $100,000          $101,200       $1,200 U

Variable overhead    $2,400,000    $220,000         $214,000      $6,000  F

Direct labor hours             48,000          4,000               4,200            200  U

Machine hours               240,000        22,000             21,600             400  F

Thus, the Nanjones' variable overhead spending variance for November is the difference between planned expenses and actual expenses, which is $6,000 ($214,000 - $220,000) favorable.

The lease agreement specified quarterly payments of $6,500 beginning September 30, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and each quarter (December 31, March 31, and June 30) through June 30, 2024 (three-year lease term). The florist had the option to purchase the truck on September 29, 2023, for $13,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $19,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years. Mid-South Auto Leasing’s quarterly interest rate for determining payments was 3% (approximately 12% annually). Mid-South paid $51,000 for the truck. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization. Anything Grows’ incremental interest rate is 12%.

Required:
a. Calculate the amount of selling profit that Mid-South would recognize in this sales-type lease. (Be careful to note that, although payments occur on the last calendar day of each quarter, since the first payment was at the beginning of the lease, payments represent an annuity due.)
b. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 30, 2021.
c. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of interest expense for Anything Grows and interest revenue for Mid- South Auto Leasing over the lease term.
d. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South Auto Leasing on December 31, 2021.
e. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 29, 2023, assuming the purchase option was exercised on that date.

Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.

2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.

Answers

Answer:

First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.

present value = future value / expected return

present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06

you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.

at the end of year 2, you will have:

future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53

then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:

future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06

finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:

future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31

b. increase consumer surplus in the market for hot dogs and increase producer surplus in the market for hot dog buns.
c. decrease consumer surplus in the market for hot dog buns and increase producer surplus in the market for hot dogs.
d. decrease consumer surplus in the market for hot dog buns and decrease producer surplus in the market for hot dogs.

Answers

Answer:

a)decrease consumer surplus in the market for hot dog buns and decrease producer surplus in the market for hot dogs

Explanation:

Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complements. An increase in the price of flour used to make hot dogs buns will decrease consumer surplus in the market for hot dog buns and decrease producer surplus in the market for hot dogs.

In economics, complements goods are ones(two goods) that their usage is very close,when there is increase in price of one, the demand of other goods that complement it falls, and from the question Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complementary goods.

consumer surplus is the difference between the price that was actually paid for a goods/service by the consumer and the price the consumer is willing to pay.

Since, Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complementary goods As the flour's price rise here consumer surplus for hot dog buns will definitely decreases, then the producer surplus decreases for hot dogs.

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary

Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600

Amount required to fund the plan = $4800

2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees

Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200

Amount contributed by each employee = $24

3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary

Percentage of salary = 24/600

Percentage of salary =  0.04

Percentage of salary = 4%

Income tax expense                                                                    (176,500)

Net Income after tax                                                                    529,500

Earnings per share (EPS)                                                                  $1.77

Explanation:

The difference in these Income statements is that, the Multi-step statement clearly shows income derived from Primary Activities (Operating) whist the Single step statement does not.

Additional Notes :

Earnings per share (EPS) = Earnings Attributable to holders of common stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks

Therefore,

Earnings per share (EPS) = $529,500 ÷ 300,000

                                = $1.77

Ending Inventory:

a. Specific Identification:

Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,490

= $8,450

b. FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,540

= $8,400

c. LIFO:

Ending Inventory:

March 1  Inventory     13    $230         $2,990

a worker produced four components during an 8-hour shift in which he earned $96. What is his labor cost per unit?

Answers

Answer:

$24

Explanation:

Labor cost per unit is the ratio of total labor expense for a period of time divided by the total number of units produced during that period of time. It is given by the formula:

Labor cost per unit = Total money earned during a specified period / number of components produced.

Hence using the formula above, the labor cost per unit of the worker is gotten to be:

Labor cost per unit = $96 / 4 components = $24

A government-owned company may have an unfair advantage over a privately owned company because it could:

Answers

Answer:

Government companies may have unfair advantage over private companies, as - financial support from government, public confidence & public capital raise ease

Explanation:

A government-owned company may have an unfair advantage over a private owned company because -

Have financial assistance from government in case of less or non profitability, inefficiency, non performing assets

On the other hand, having more public confidence, public companies are likely to get publically raised capital (through shares, debentures) etc more easily.

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.

Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.

Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.

In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?

Answers

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.  

However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

Based on the above items, please compare and contrast the ratios between the company and the industry.

Required:
Analyze reasons why there could be differences and the overall financial position of the company. Also, what of the ways the company could finance the company without significant negative changes to the above financial metrics (ratios)?

Answers

Answer:

The company has current ratio almost half than the industry average. This is an indication that the company has lesser current assets than industry average. The ability of the company to meet its short term obligations is not suitable as the other companies in the industry are maintaining double current ratio. The ratio should never go below 1 as if it does the company may face its operational financing and working capital management issues.

The debt to equity ratio is significantly higher than the other companies of the same industry. The industry average is 4 whereas the company has ratio 20. This is significantly higher which indicates that there is heavy burden of debt on the company.  High debt/ equity ratio indicates high risks. Investors avoid investing in such companies which have high debt/ equity ratio.

Explanation:

The company can go for equity financing as it will also help reduce its debt / equity ratio. The company will become less riskier and financing will be divided in debt and equity. The debt burden on assets will be reduced. There can be reduction in certain debt covenants. The company can use equity financing to fund its operations as well as purchase of non current assets to increase production and ultimately profitability of the company could rise.
