Answer:
What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity?
The IRR rule basically states that if the project's internal rate of return (IRR) is higher than the cost of capital (discount rate or WACC), then the project should be accepted. In this case, we are not given the company's WACC or any discount rate we can use, therefore there is nothing to compare the project's IRR against.
Based on prior experience, this project's IRR will not be very high and if we consider the cost of keeping the site clean forever, I really doubt that the project is profitable. If you calculate the project's IRR without including the perpetual cleaning cost, IRR = 11%.
If we assume any of the 3 WACCs I used as an example below, the project's IRR including cleaning costs:
- if WACC = 12%, then IRR = 9.26% REJECTED
- if WACC = 10%, then IRR = 8.98% REJECTED
- if WACC = 9%, then IRR = 8.79% REJECTED
- if WACC = 8%, then IRR = 8.54% ACCEPTED
In order for this project to be profitable, the WACC would need to be very low (around 8% or less).
Explanation:
cost of opening a new mine $120 million
annual cash flow $20 million
expected cleaning costs $2 per year in perpetuity
the cost of keeping the site clean forever = $2 million / discount rate or WACC:
- if WACC = 12%, then perpetual cost = $16.67 million
- if WACC = 10%, then perpetual cost = $20 million
- if WACC = 9%, then perpetual cost = $22.22 million
- if WACC = 8%, then perpetual cost = $25 million
Answer:
Bradford's estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost is $127,200
Explanation:
The cost function=$83,000+$12M
where M stands for machine hours required to produce the expected output in the month under review.
Each one-six unit case of Bradford's single product requires two machine hours,hence 5,300 cases would require 10,600 hours(5,300*2hrs).
Total estimated variable manufacturing overhead=cost per machine hour*expected number of machine hours
cost per machine hour is $12 as seen in the cost function
estimated variable manufacturing overhead=$12*10,600=$127,200
Answer:
the gross profit reported is $1,518
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of gross profit that reported is shown below:
But before that the gross profit percentage is
= (Sales - cost of goods sold) ÷ (sales)
= ($138,000 - $110,400) ÷ ($138,000)
= 20%
Now the gross profit is
= $25,300 × 20% × 30%
= $1,518
Hence, the gross profit reported is $1,518
Answer: The correct answer is "E. Cost of goods sold to be overstated and net income to be understated.".
Explanation: The understatement of the ending inventory balance causes:
<u>Cost of goods sold to be overstated and net income to be understated.</u>
