• The cost to purchase “New Tech” will be $421,000 and will have a useful life of 6 years; “New Tech” will have a salvage value of $26,000 at the end of 6 years. The cost to purchase “Standard Classic” will be $235,000 and will also have a useful life of 6 years; “Standard Classic” will have a salvage value of $5,000 at the end of 6 years.

• Total Contribution Margin from the sale of Widgets will be different for each machine because the “Standard Classic” machine requires more variable manufacturing overhead costs. The expected contribution margin if the “New Tech” machine is chosen is the following:

The contribution margin if the “Standard Classic” is chosen is expected to be the following:

• Working Capital of $53,000 will be required at the beginning of the production of Widgets for the “New Tech” machine, and working capital of $95,000 will be required at the beginning of the production of Widgets for the “Standard Classic” machine. For both machines the working capital will be released at the end of the project (i.e., end of year 6).

• The yearly cost of machine maintenance will be $50,000 for the “New Tech” and will be $72,000 for the “Standard Classic” machine.

• Other fixed costs for salaries, property taxes, and insurance, which will be the same regardless of the machine chosen, will be the following:

• The “Standard Classic” machine will require a major overhaul that will cost $100,000 at the end of year 3 of the project. This will not apply to the “New Tech” machine.

• The Required Rate of Return for Starliper Industries is 9%.

• Use the “Total-Cost Approach”

The cost of NOT performing 2 cycles of photorespiration is

1 C in the form of CO2

4 C in the form of 2 molecules of phosphoglycolate

1 C (as CO2), 2 ATP, 2 NADPH equivalents, and one molecule of NH4+

3 ATP and 2 NADPH

5 ATP and 2 NADPH

As temperature increases, the quantum yield of photosynthesis in C3 plants is directly affected by

The decreasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the aqueous phase

The increasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the aqueous phase

The decreasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gas phase

The increasing ratio of CO2 to O2 in the gas phase

step by step if possible

(Individual or component costs of​ capital)  Compute the cost of capital for the firm for the​ following: a. Currently bonds with a similar credit rating and maturity as the​ firm's outstanding debt are selling to yield 7.57% while the borrowing​ firm's corporate tax rate is 30​%. b.  Ordinary shares for a firm that paid a ​$ 1.02 dividend last year. The dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 4.2 4.2​% per year into the foreseeable future. The price of these shares is now ​$ 24.51. c.  A bond that has a ​$ 1,000 face value and a coupon interest rate of 11.2​% with interest paid​ semi-annually. A new issue would sell for ​$ 1,147 per bond and mature in 20 years. The​ firm's tax rate is 30​%. d.  A preference share paying a dividend of 6.5​% on a ​$ 107 107 face value.

Land improvements are:

- included in the cost of land account

- expensed in the period incurred

- assets that increase the usefulness of land, but that have a limited useful life and are subject to depreciation

- also called desket purchases

- assets that increase the usefulness of land, and like land, not depreciated

In a marketing study, the researcher wants to minimize the cost of interviewing. These interviews will be done to households with children, without children, and to individuals during the day and during the night. The cost for each type of interview is presented in the following table:

The sample size is 800 people.

At least there must be 400 households with children.

At least there must be 200 homes without children.

There must be at least 100 individuals.

The night interviews are greater or equal to the interviews during the day.

In the group of households with children, 50% of those interviewed during the night are greater than 50% of the group of respondents during the day.

In the group of homes without children, 40% of those interviewed during the night is greater than 60% of the group interviewed during the day.

In the group of individuals, 30% of those interviewed during the night is greater than the 70% of the group interviewed during the day.

Using linear programming (Using RStudio)

1. Find the minimum expected cost.

2. Find the cost for each group day and night.

3. Find the number of people interviewed by each group.

4. Check if the restrictions are met.

[Note: In your answer you must submit the "script" of the RStudio used for your answer]

What is the difference between a fixed and a variable cost? What is meant by the term relevant range? How is relevant range applicable to CVP analysis? What is operating leverage and how/why would companies use operating leverage?

1. The ABC Company is looking at a new piece of equipment with an installed cost of $187,400. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the four-year life. At the end of the four years the book value will be zero however it can be scrapped for $25,000. The equipment will save the firm $99,000 per year in pre-tax operating costs and the equipment requires an initial investment in net working capital of $9,000 and will be recovered at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 34% and the discount rate is 12%, what is the NPV of this project?

What is the Internal Rate of Return for this project?
