The net present value of the proposed project is closest to -$80,822.
Since the project saves $80,000 in costs each year, we treat these savings income for the next 4 years. We then calculate the Present value Interest Factor of an annuity using the formula :
PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1+r)⁻ⁿ ] } ÷ r
PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1.09)⁻⁴ ] } ÷ 0.09
PVIF of an annuity = 3.240 (rounded to three decimals)
PV of the cost savings = (3.240*80000) = $2,59,178 (rounded to nearest $)
NPV = PV of cost savings - Value of investment
NPV = 2,59,178
- 3,40,000
Answer:
Revenue /expense approach
Explanation:
As we know that the income statement recognized only the revenues and the expenses and if the revenue is more than the expenses so the company is earning profit else it would suffered loss
So for proper income statement, the item recognized under US GAAP should be placed in revenue and expense approach as it comes under the income statement and the same is to be considered
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Answer:
They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.
Explanation:
It has been provided that RT earns 12% on his current investments and would not like to receive an interest rate of less than 12% on the loan he gives.
if RT gives a loan of $10,000 for one year, he would charge an interest rate of minimum 12%.
Interest = $10,000*0.12
= $1,200
RT requires $1,200 in interest.
It has been provided that Cynthia earns 8% on her investment.
If she borrows $10,000 and invests the amount for one year, she can earn 8% return on such amount.
Earning = $10,000*0.08
= $800
Cynthia is going to earn $800
RT requires a minimum of $1,200 as interest for 1-year loan he gives while Cynthia can pay a maximum of $10,000 as interest for 1-year loan she takes. there is mismatch between the minimum expectation to receive of lender and the maximum expectation to pay of borrower.
Therefore, They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.
Answer:
The answer is option B) The Delphi technique is a useful way to gather opinions from experts who desire anonymity.
Explanation:
The Delphi method seeks to collate opinions from a diverse set of experts, and it can be done without having to bring everyone together for a physical meeting.
Since the responses of the participants are anonymous, individual panelists don't have to worry about the consequences of their opinions.
Consensus takes time since opinions are carefully analyzed, making the method very effective.
It is an exclusive process used to arrive at a group opinion or decision by surveying a panel of experts.
Experts respond to several rounds of questionnaires, and the responses are aggregated and shared with the group after each round.
The experts can adjust their answer each round, based on how they interpret the group response provided to them to assess.
The ultimate result is meant to be a true consensus of what the group thinks whilst retaining the anonymity of the respondents.
