Chris Suit is administrator for Lowell Hospital. She is trying to determine whether to build a large wing on the existing hospital, a small wing, or no wing at all. If the population of Lowell continues to grow, a large wing could return $150,000 to the hospital each year. If a small wing were built, it would return $100,000 to the hospital each year if the population continues to grow. If the population of Lowell remains the same, the hospital would encounter a loss of $85,000 with a large wing and a loss of $45,000 with a small wing. Unfortunately, Suit does not have any information about the future population of Lowell.

a. Assuming that each state of nature has the same likelihood, determine the best alternative? What is the EMV?

b. If the likelihood of growth is .4 and that of remaining the same is .6 and the decision criterion is expected monetary value, which decision should Suit make? What is the EMV?

c. Based on the answer in letter b, what is the EVPI?

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": There could be supplier interruptions due to political instability.

Explanation:

Single sourcing refers to a company deciding to choose one particular supplier -even if there are many options from where to select- because of a specific reason. The greater disadvantage of this situation is relying on one supplier for the manufacturing process which at a certain point could bring instability in front of different issues inherent or not to the supplier.

Single sourcing is considered risky/bad primarily due to the possibility of supplier interruptions caused by political instability.

The reason that single sourcing is considered risky/bad is option b: There could be supplier interruptions due to political instability. Single sourcing involves relying on a single supplier for a particular product or service. If that supplier experiences any interruptions, such as political instability in their country, it could disrupt the supply chain and impact the availability of the product or service.

For example, if a business single sources a critical component from a supplier in a politically unstable region and there is a sudden change in government or social unrest, it could lead to factory closures or transportation disruptions. This would ultimately affect the business's ability to receive the necessary supplies.

By diversifying suppliers and using multiple sources, businesses can mitigate the risk of supplier interruptions and ensure a more stable supply chain.

Final answer:

The amount in the mutual fund at the end of 15 years, with an initial investment of $10,000 and $1250 invested annually at a 4.35% interest rate, is $45,534.50, calculated by summing the future values of periodic investments and the initial lump sum investment, each compounded appropriately.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the future value of an investment in a mutual fund over a period of 15 years, considering a series of periodic contributions and an initial lump sum already invested. The calculation must account for the power of compound interest and additional annual investments. To find the amount in the mutual fund at the end of 15 years, we must use the future value formula for an ordinary annuity and combine it with the compounded amount of the initial investment.

Calculating the Future Value of Periodic Investments

To calculate the future value of the $1250 annual investments, we use the formula:

FV = Pmt \[((1 + r)ⁿ - 1) / r]

FV = $1250 \[((1 + 0.0435)¹⁵ - 1) / 0.0435]

FV = $1250 \[((1.0435)¹⁵ - 1) / 0.0435]

FV = $1250 * 21.2436

FV = $26,554.50 from periodic investments

Calculating the Future Value of the Initial Lump Sum

The initial $10,000 investment will grow due to compound interest alone. The future value of this lump sum is calculated using the compound interest formula:

FV = PV (1 + r)ⁿ

FV = $10,000 (1 + 0.0435)¹⁵

FV = $10,000 * 1.8980

FV = $18,980.00 from initial investment

Total Future Value

To find the total amount in the account after 15 years, we add the future values from periodic investments and the initial investment:

Total FV = $26,554.50 + $18,980.00

Total FV = $45,534.50

The amount in the mutual fund at the end of 15 years, with an initial investment of $10,000 and $1250 invested at the end of each year at a 4.35% interest rate, is $45,534.50.

Answer:

Average price for crab leg= $1.428

Marginal cost for extra crab leg= $0

Explanation:

Gustavo pays $39.99 for crab legs

Eats 28 crab legs on Fridays

To get the average price of crab legs divide the total price by the number of crab legs.

Average price= Total price/Number of legs

Average price = 39.99/28

Average price= $1.428

The marginal cost of an extra crab legs is the cost of producing an extra crab leg for Gustavo.

Since Gustavo only eats 28 crab legs and no more

Marginal cost for extra crab leg= $0

Answer:

$156 million

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the project is shown below:

Value of the Project = Present Value of Incremental cash Inflows - Upfront Cost

where,

Present Value of Incremental cash Inflows equals to

= (Incremental Cash inflows) ÷ (Discount rate - Growth rate)

= ($50 million) ÷ (12% - 3%)

= ($50 million) ÷ (9%)

= $556 million

Now the value of the project is

= $556 million - $400 million

= $156 million

The value of the project, when considering the initial investment, annual cash flows, growth rate, and firm's WACC, is roughly $155.56 million.

The subject question is about calculating the present value of a project's cash flows, taking into account the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the growth rate of its future cash flows. This is a common calculation in finance, specifically in the field of investment analysis.

To find the value of this project, we need to determine the present value of its permeating cash flows, which is often referred to as a Perpetuity. The formula for calculating the value of a growing perpetuity is given by:

Present Value = CashFlow / (WACC - growth rate)

Here, the cash flow is the incremental free cash flow of $50 million. The WACC is 12% (or 0.12 in decimal form), and the growth rate is 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form).

So, to calculate:

Present Value = $50 million / (0.12 - 0.03)

This simplifies to:

Present Value = $50 million / 0.09

So, the present value of the project's cash flows is approximately $555.56 million. This is not the project value though, since we need to take into account the upfront cost of $400 million. Subtracting this initial investment from the present value gives us the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project:

NPV = Present Value - Initial Investment = $555.56 million - $400 million = $155.56 million

Therefore, the value of the project, when considering the investment, annual cash flows, growth rate and the firm's WACC, is approximately $155.56 million.

Answer:

The share will cost $37.04

Explanation:

We divide the quarterly dividend by the quarterly rate to get the present intrinsic value of the stock:

13.5% = 13.5/100 = 0.135

now we divide by 4:

0.135 / 4 = 0,03375‬ quarterly rate

1.25 / 0.03375 = 37,037037 = $37.04 value of the share according to the present value of their future cash dividends.

Final answer:

The fair value of the preferred stock that pays a constant quarterly dividend of $1.25 per quarter with a 13.5 percent annual required rate of return is calculated using the present value of a perpetuity formula and is found to be $37.037 per share.

Explanation:

To calculate the fair value (or price) of the preferred stock that is expected to pay a constant quarterly dividend of $1.25 per quarter into the future with a required rate of return, Rs, of 13.5 percent, the formula for the present value of a perpetuity is used. This formula is Price = Dividend per period / Required Rate of Return. In this case, since dividends are quarterly and the rate is annual, we should adjust the rate to a quarterly basis.

First, convert the annual required rate of return to a quarterly rate by dividing by 4, so 13.5% / 4 = 3.375% per quarter. Then, we calculate the price of the share today using the present value of a perpetuity formula:

Price = $1.25 / (0.03375) = $37.037

Therefore, the fair value of the preferred stock is $37.037 per share.

-Costs                        = $12,750

-Depreciation            = $2,550

Operating Income    = $23,230

-Interest Expense     = $1,850

Income before Tax  = $21,380

-Tax                           = $4,490

Net Income               = $16,890

Operating Cash Flow = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital

The Operating Cash Flow (OCF) of Benson, Inc. is calculated by subtracting costs and taxes from sales. It equals $20,901.7.

The question is asking for the Operating Cash Flow (OCF) of a business, which is a measure of the amount of cash generated by a company's normal business operations. OCF is important because it indicates whether a company is able to generate sufficient positive cash flow to maintain and grow its operations, or it may require external financing.

In this case, the formula to calculate OCF is: OCF = Sales - Costs - Taxes. First, we need to find the taxable income, which is: Sales - Costs - Depreciation. We substitute the numbers: 38,530 - 12,750 - 2,550 = 23,230. Then, we have to calculate the taxes, which are the taxable income multiplied by the tax rate (23,230 * 21%). The tax amounts to 4,878.3. Now we can calculate the OCF: Sales (38,530) - Costs (12,750) - Taxes (4,878.3) = 20,901.7.

The Operating Cash Flow for Benson, Inc., is therefore $20,901.7.

Explanation:

In case employees of a company enjoy doing charitable activities and believe it is an obligation to contribute with their surrounding community, the situation implies that those workers have a high sense of social responsibility and moral values. Every company tends to have a code of ethics that outlines the expected behavior the firm expects from workers within the organization but firms also have goals on social responsibility to minimize the impact of their operations in society an if possible to improve it.  

Thus, the moral values of Zappos's employees are likely aligned to the norms the company is looking for in its workers.

The participation of Zappos employees in charitable activities is a reflection of the alignment between their personal morals and the values and norms of Zappos, hence option B is correct.

When Zappos employees are 'driven' to participate in charitable activities and feel that giving back to the community is something that they 'must do,' this demonstrates that Zappos employees have morals that match Zappos values and norms. hence option b.

Explanation:

Ideal for a company that wants quality to be more than a slogan or slogan, it is necessary to implement actions that lead to quality management.

From the development of the business strategic plan, actions and procedures included in the company's mission, vision and values ​​must be clearly defined to ensure the expected quality principles.

However, it is important to have an effective implementation and analysis to review the plan and resolve possible conflicts during the execution of activities, in order to establish continuous improvement as an organizational culture, which avoids waste, reduces costs, motivates employees, improves the production process and improves business activities in the internal and external environment, to make total quality a basic principle of the organization.

Companies that view quality as more than a slogan would invest in quality control, offer warranties or money-back guarantees, and aim to establish a good reputation to attract repeat customers. These actions demonstrate their commitment to providing high-quality products and services.

A company that treats quality as more than just a buzzword would take several actions to ensure their products and services meet or exceed customer expectations. Firstly, such companies would invest in thorough quality control measures where products are rigorously tested for any flaws before they hit the market.

Secondly, they would offer assurances such as warranties or money-back guarantees which not only convey a promise of quality but also help build consumer trust. This kind of strategy is particularly important for online or mail-order businesses where customers can't physically examine the products before purchasing.

Lastly, they would seek to establish a good reputation, aiming for repeat customers who will recommend the business to others. A good reputation signifies a company's commitment to delivering high-quality products and services, thus allowing the company to even charge a premium for their offerings. For instance, a well-established grocery store can charge a higher price than a temporary stall at a local farmer's market due to its established reputation for quality.

The question requires preparation of a pension worksheet for Hennein Company for 2017, including details on their plan assets, projected benefit obligation, service cost, return on assets, contributions, and benefits paid. However, without information on actuarial gains/losses or other changes, a complete worksheet can't be accurately provided.

Pension Worksheet Preparation

The student is asking for assistance in preparing a pension worksheet for Hennein Company for the year 2017. At the beginning of the year, both the plan assets and projected benefit obligation were $280,000. During the year, the service cost amounted to $27,500; the settlement rate used was 10%; the actual and expected return on plan assets was $25,000; contributions made were $20,000, and the benefits paid out totaled $17,500.

A pension worksheet typically tracks the changes in the pension fund over the course of a year and helps to reconcile the plan's funding status. The service cost will increase the projected benefit obligation, while the return on plan assets will increase the value of plan assets. Contributions also increase plan assets, while benefits paid decrease them.

Unfortunately, to answer this question accurately, additional information about actuarial gains or losses, changes in pension estimates, or prior service costs would be necessary. Without this information, a complete pension worksheet cannot be provided.

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Present value of the company, PV = $300,000

Current Profits, π₀ = $11,000

Interest rate, i = 9% = 0.09

Now,          

we know,            

[tex]PV = \pi_0(\frac{1+i}{1-g})[/tex]

here,

g is the growth rate        

on rearranging, we get          

g =  [tex]i - \frac{(1+i)\pi_0}{PV}[/tex]

on substituting the respective values, we get

g = [tex]0.09 - \frac{(1+0.09)\times11,000}{300,000}[/tex]

or  

g = 0.05

or

g = 0.05 × 100%

= 5%

Answer:

Explanation:

   The price of 8% bond must be lower than its face value to make the yield to maturity equal to 10%

Similarly , the price of 12 % bond must be higher than its face value to make the yield to maturity equal to 10%

Rate of return is always equal to yield to maturity .

So even if we do not know the face value of bond , we can infer that rate of return must be equal to yield to maturity .

b ) Higher coupon rate does not guarantee  higher rate of return because higher coupon than the prevailing rate of return in the market pulls down  the market price of the bond .

The rate of return for both bonds would be 10% if their yield to maturity remains constant at 10%. The bond with a higher coupon rate does not offer a higher rate of return if the yield to maturity remains the same.

The rate of return for both bonds, assuming the yield to maturity (YTM) remains at 10%, would be 10%. The rate of return on a bond is essentially its YTM, which is the total anticipated return on a bond if it is held until maturity. This includes both interest payments and the capital gain or loss due to changes in the bond's price.

In a situation where a bond's YTM remains the same from one year to the next, the rate of return would also remain the same (in this case, 10%). Thus, the coupon rate does not affect the rate of return if the YTM remains constant.

So, while the bond with a 12% coupon rate would pay more interest annually than the bond with an 8% coupon rate, it does not offer a higher rate of return in terms of YTM. In this case, the bond with the higher coupon rate does not give a higher rate of return.

Answer:

purchasing price will be based on par value = $1,00,000

Explanation:

Given data:

number of shares = 20,000

par value of stock = $5

Market value of stock is $50

Finders fees = $8000

legal fees = $12,000

stock issuance fees =$10,000

Paid capital is calculated at par value i.e. 20,000 * $5 = $ 1,00,000

Expenses like finders fees, legal fess and stock issuance fees will not be included in purchasing price. it is considered in miscellaneous expense

Hence purchasing price will be based on par value = $1,00,000

The purchase price for the acquisition is $1,030,000, which includes the fair market value of the stock issued and the costs incurred by Phillips Company.

The purchase price for this acquisition is determined by adding the fair market value of the stock issued and the costs incurred by Phillips Company. The fair market value of the stock issued is calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued (20,000) by the market price per share ($50). Therefore, the fair market value of the stock issued is $1,000,000 (20,000 shares x $50).

In addition to the fair market value of the stock, the costs incurred by Phillips Company are also included in the purchase price. These costs include finders fees ($8,000), legal fees ($12,000), and stock issuance fees ($10,000). Therefore, the total costs incurred by Phillips Company are $30,000 ($8,000 + $12,000 + $10,000).

The purchase price for this acquisition is the sum of the fair market value of the stock issued and the costs incurred by Phillips Company. Therefore, the purchase price is $1,030,000 ($1,000,000 + $30,000).
