Answer:
12.4%
Explanation:
After-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = After-Tax Return - Dividend Yield*(1-Tax Rate)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 10 - 6*(1-40%)
Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) = 6.4%
Pre-Tax Return = Capital Gains Growth Rate (g) + Dividend Yield
Pre-Tax Return = 6.4% + 6%
Pre-Tax Return = 12.4%
Hence, the pretax required return on Gordon’s stock is 12.4%
On January 1, 2020, Gerald received his 50% profits and capital interest in High Air, LLC in exchange for $2,000 in cash and real property with a $3,000 tax basis secured by a $2,000 nonrecourse mortgage. High Air reported a $15,000 loss for its 2020 calendar year. How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Answer:
$4,000;$3,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Calculation for How much loss can Gerald deduct
Gerald's loss Deduction = [$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + (50% × $2,000)]
Gerald's loss Deduction =[$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + $1,000]
Gerald's loss Deduction=$4,000
Calculation for how much loss must he suspend
Loss to Suspend=(50%*$15,000)-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$7,500-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$3,500
Therefore the amount of loss that Gerald can deduct is $4,000 and the amount of loss that he must suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $3,500
PBYI’s current BID-ASK is $59.00 - $60.00. PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer:
PBYI is not over priced
expected profit = $0.18
Explanation:
BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00
expected alpha = 2%
In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00
when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2
when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18
therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18
PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day
Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $250,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $72,115 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000.
b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $39,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
A. 1.89 years
B. 2.33 years
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
(A) After-tax income = $72,115
Expected cost = $250,000
Useful life = 4 years
Salvage value = $10,000
Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000
Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation
= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115
Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
= $250,000 ÷ $132,115
= 1.89 years
(B) After-tax income = $39,000
Machine cost = $200,000
Useful life = 8 years
Salvage value = $13,000
Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750
Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation
= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750
Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
= $200,000 ÷ $85,750
= 2.33 years

At December 31, Gill Co. reported accounts receivable of $288,000 and an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,500 (credit) before any adjustments. An analysis of accounts receivable suggests that the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 1% of accounts receivable. The amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be:
Answer:
$1,380
Explanation:
Given that;
Accounts receivables = $288,000
Allowance for uncollectible accounts = $1,500 (credit balance)
Allowance should be 1% of accounts receivables = $288,000 × 1% = 2,880
Then, the adjustment = $2,880 - $1,500 = $1,380
Therefore, the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be $1,380
Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.
Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000
Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?
Answer:
50,000 Square feet
Explanation:
Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.
Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly
= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000
= 50,000
Wildhorse Company purchased 300 of the 1000 outstanding shares of Ayayai Company's common stock for $570000 on January 2, 2021. During 2021, Ayayai Company declared dividends of $85000 and reported earnings for the year of $370000. If Wildhorse Company used the fair value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company, its Equity Investments (Ayayai) account on December 31, 2021 should be
Answer:
$664,000
Explanation:
Correct words: "If Wildhorse Company used the Equity value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company"
Ownership percentage = 300/1000
Ownership percentage = 30%
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + Share in earnings ($370,000*30%) - Share in dividends paid out ($85000*20%)
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + $111,000 - $17,000
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $664,000
So, the Equity Investments balance for Ayayai company on December 31, 2021 is $664,000.

(Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.) Variable cost per machine hour $
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,420 - 2,925) / (8,870 - 3,880)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 5,420 - (0.5*8,870)
Fixed costs= $985
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,925 - (0.5*3,880)
Fixed costs= $985

Expected one-year holding-period return
Answer:
$109
$118.81
18.26%
Explanation:
Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated
growth rate = retention rate x ROE
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
0.5 x 18% = 9%
According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%
dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share
0.5 x $20 = $10
Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109
Stock price in a year
[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81
(dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
On October 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $148,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The equipment is expected to produce 260,000 units during its life.Required:Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.
Answer:
Missing word: "1. Straight line. 2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"
1. Straight line depreciation
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)
Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $14,300
Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12
Depreciation Expenses = $3575
2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12
Depreciation Expenses = $14,300
2. Double-declining balance
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expense = $148000 * 20% 3/12
Depreciation Expense = $7400
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $148000 - $7400
Book Value = $140,600
2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12
Depreciation Expense = $35,520
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520
Book Value = $105,080

Birch Corp., a calendar-year corporation, was formed three years ago by its sole shareholder, James, who has operated it as an S corporation since its inception. Last year, James made a direct loan to Birch Corp. in the amount of $6,650. Birch Corp. has paid the interest on the loan but has not yet paid any principal. (Assume the loan qualifies as debt for tax purposes.) For the year, Birch experienced a $32,000 business loss.
What amount of the loss clears the tax basis limitation, and what is James?s basis in his Birch Corp. stock and Birch Corp. debt in each of the following alternative scenarios?
a. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $46,100 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
b. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $10,300 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
c. At the beginning of the year, James's basis in his Birch Corp. stock was $0 and his basis in his Birch Corp. debt was $6,600.
Answer:
A. $32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. $16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. $6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
Explanation:
A. Based on the information given All the $32,000 amount of the loss will clear up the tax basis limitation which means that James’s stock basis will be reduced to $14,100 ($46,100 – $32,000 loss) while His debt basis on the other hand remains at $6,600.
Therefore:
$32,000 clears the tax basis limitation
$14,100 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$6,600 Birch Corp. debt
B. Based on the information given of the $32,000 loss, $16,900($10,300+$6,600) will clear up the tax basis limitation, While his stock basis will be reduced from $10,300 to $0, and his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $15,100 ($32,000 - $16,900)
Therefore:
$16,900 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$15,000 suspended loss
C. Based on the information given the amount of $6,600 will clear up the tax basis limitation. His stock basis will remains at $0, while his debt basis will be reduced from $6,600 to $0. Which means that he has a suspended loss of $25,400 ($32,000 – $6,600)
Therefore:
$6,600 clears the tax basis limitation
$0 basis in his Birch Corp. stock
$0 Birch Corp. debt
$25,400 suspended loss
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing costs of $100,000 and yield 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $120 per unit. The amount of joint costs allocated to Product A (if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value) will be $ (rounded to nearest dollar).
Answer:
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
Explanation:
To calculate the allocation of joint costs to Product A, we must first calculate the sales revenue or value for both products.
Total sales value - Product A = 100 * 2000 = $200000
Total sales value - Product B = 120 * 1000 = $120000
Total Sales Value = 200000 + 120000 = $320000
The amount of Joint costs that will be allocated to Product A will be,
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = (200000 / 320000) * 100000
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
On August 1, Sparky assigned $100,000 of the accounts receivable to B Bank and received 90% of the value of the accounts assigned less a finance fee of $1,000. B Bank charges 1% per month on the outstanding loan balance. Cash collections from assigned accounts are to be remitted monthly to B Bank to cover both principal and interest payments. During August Sparky collected $30,000 in cash of the accounts receivable assigned and also accepted sales returns of $3,000 from assigned accounts. During September, Sparky collected $50,000 in cash on accounts assigned and, in addition, wrote off $2,000 of assigned accounts receivable as uncollectible. As a result of these transactions, determine the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable is shown below:
For account receivable assigned:
Beginning account receivable $100,000
cash collected -$300,000
Sales returns - $3,000
Cash collected during September -$50,000
Uncollectible account receivable -$2,000
Ending balance of the account receivable $15,000
For note payable
Beginning balance (90% of $100,000) $90,000
Interest on the loan (1% of $90,000) $900
Cash paid during the August -$30,000
Beginning balance of September $60,900
Interest paid (1% of $60,900) $609
Cash paid during September -$50,000
Ending balance $11,509

Western Electric has 35,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $85 and a rate of return of 12.70 percent. The firm has 7,600 shares of 8.40 percent preferred stock outstanding at a price of $98.00 per share. The preferred stock has a par value of $100. The outstanding debt has a total face value of $422,000 and currently sells for 114 percent of face. The yield to maturity on the debt is 8.26 percent. What is the firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 40 percent
Answer:
10.83 %
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock
therefore,
Weighted average cost of capital = 12.70 % x 70.82 % + 4.956 % x 17.73 % + 8.40 % x 11.45 %
= 10.83 %
Remember to use after tax cost of debt.
Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised profits are expected to (increase/decrease) by $__________ per year. (Enter the profit increase or decrease as a whole number.)
Answer:
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $3
Number of units sold= 150,000
Selling price= $6.5
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Net income= number of units sold*unitary contribution margin - fixed costs
Previous:
Net income= 150,000*3.5 - 350,000
Net income= $175,000
After:
Net income= 120,000*4 - 350,000
Net income= $130,000
Unitary contribution margin= 7 - 3= 4
Number of units sold= 150,000*0.8= 120,000
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000

2. (E) Cooking:$34,300 Churning: $39,200 Freezing:$24,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For administrative cost allocated to each operating department is
Cooking
= $560,000 × 2,940 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $168,000
Churning
= $560,000 × 4,900 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $280,000
Freezing
= $560,000 × 1,960 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $112,000
b. For maintenance cost allocated to each operating department is
Cooking
= $98,000 × 33,250 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $34,300
Churning
= $98,000 × 38,000 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $39,200
And, for freezing
= $98,000 × 23,750 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $24,500

The Cork Company has been sent a special order of 6,000 dongles to be shipped at the end of the month at a selling price of $7 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 dongles per month with total fixed production costs of $144,000. At present, the company is selling 80,000 dongles per month through regular channels at a selling price of $11 each. For these regular sales, the cost for one dongle is:
Variable Production $4.60
Cost Fixed Production Cost $1.80
Variable Selling Expense $1.00
At what selling price per unit should Cork be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer?
a. $7.40.
b. $7.70
c. $6.40
d. $4.90.
e. None of the answers provided is correct.
Answer:
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
Explanation:
To determine whether or not Cork Company should accept the order, we will compare the variable cost of the order to the sales value . If the special order generates a positive contribution margin, then it should be accepted.'
The relevant cash flows to be considered here includes
1. Variable cost of the special order
2. Sales revenue from the special order.
Note that the fixed cost are general unavoidable costs which would be incurred either way. And therefore should not be considered .
variable cos per unit = 4.60 +1.00= 5.60
$
Sales revenue from special order
(7×6,000) 42,000
Variable cost (5.60× 6,000) (33,600)
Net income from special order 8,400
A special order price that will produce a net income of zero is that which will make the Cork Company indifferent. And such price is that which equals to the variable cost of selling
Indifferent special order price = variable cost per unit = $5.60
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
The special offers under the cost accounting are the changes or the events arranged in between the regular business operations. The special offer is launched at lower or higher variable costs. This is done either to attract customers or to clear off the stock.
The correct option is e. None of the answer provided is correct.
The selling price per unit that is indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special offer is $5.60
As per the computation, the special offer should be accepted.
Computations:
The indifferent special order price should include only the variable cost.
[tex]\text{Indifferent price}=\text{Variable Production cost}+\text{Variable selling expense}\\\\=\$4.60+\$1.00\\\\=\$5.60[/tex]
Computation of net income from a special offer:
[tex]\text{Net Income}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Variable cost}\\\\=(\$7\times6,000)-(\$5.60\times6,000)\\\\=\$442,000-\$33,600\\\\=\$8,400[/tex]
For taking the decision of accepting or rejecting the special offer:
variable costs of existing and special offers are compared.The variable cost and the selling price must be equal for generating a net income of zero.The positive contribution margin indicates acceptance of the special offer.To know more about cost accounting, refer to the link:

Suppose a hypothetical economy is currently in a recessionary gap of $64 billion. Four economists agree that expansionary fiscal policy can increase total spending and move the economy out of recession, but they are debating which type of expansionary policy should be used.
Economist A believes that the government spending multiplier is 8 and the tax multiplier is 2. Economist B believes that the government spending multiplier is 4 and the tax multiplier is 8.
Required:
Compute the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief.
Answer:
a. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = $8 billion
b. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = $16 billion
Explanation:
a. Economist A
Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 8, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 8 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:
Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist A = $64 billion / 8 = $8 billion
b. Economist B
Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 4, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 4 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:
Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist B = $64 billion / 4 = $16 billion

Sicilian Defence, a division of Queen's Gambit Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Answer:
Queen's Gambit Corp.
Sicilian Defence Division
If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Yes.
The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000
Average operating assets = $300,000
Required rate of return for the company = 15%
Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)
= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)
= $60,000 - $45,000
= $15,000
Investment cost = $100,000
Additional net operating income = $18,000
Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)
= $18,000 - $15,000
= $3,000
Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)
= $78,000 - $60,000
= $18,000

Assume that you believe exchange rate movements are mostly driven by purchasing power parity. The U.S. and Canada presently have the same nominal (quoted) interest rate. The central bank of Canada just made an announcement that causes you to revise your estimate of Canada's real interest rate upward. Nominal interest rates were not affected by the announcement. Do you expect that the Canadian dollar to appreciate, depreciate, or remain the same against the dollar in response to the announcement
Answer:
The Canadian dollar would appreciate
Explanation:
Real interest rate is nominal interest rate less inflation rate
exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another currency
if the real interest rate of the canadian dollar increases, there would be an increase in demand for canadian dollars. As a result, the demand for canadian dollars would increase. the increase in demand would lead to an appreciation of the canadian dollar
You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 14 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.0 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 14 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.05. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 4 percent per year on Swiss francs.
a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
b-1. What is the required return on franc flows?
b-2. What is the NPV of the project in Swiss francs?
b-3. What is the NPV in dollars if you convert the franc NPV to dollars?
Answer:
a-The net present value in dollars is 494939.0687.
b-1-The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2-The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3-The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Explanation:
a
In order to find the solution, firstly the exchange rate for the 5 years is calculated. It is calculated using the formula:
[tex]EER=CER*(1-GRD+GRF)^t[/tex]
Here
EER is the expected exchange rate which is to be calculatedCER is the current exchange rate which is 1.05GRD is the going rate of dollars which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Francs which is 4% or 0.04t is the time in years.From this exchange rate, the PV factor is calculated which is than used to find the present value and similarly net present value in total. The solution is provided in the attached Excel Sheet.
The net present value in dollars is 494939.07
b-1
The required rate on the Franc return is given as:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1[/tex]
Here
FRR is the franc return rate which is to be calculatedDR is the dollar rate which is 14% or 0.14GRD is the going rate of dollar which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Franc which is 4% or 0.04So the value becomes:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1\\FRR=(1+0.14)(1-0.06+0.04)-1\\FRR=0.1172\text{ or }11.72\%[/tex]
The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2
Similar to part a, the solution is found for the return rate of 11.72 and the exchange rate is not required. The values are as indicated in the excel sheet attached.
The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3
In order to convert the Franc NPV to dollars, the exchange rate of 1.05SF is used which gives
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}[/tex]
Here
NPV_dollars is the value of NPV which is to be calculated.NPV_francs is the value of NPV calculated in previous step which is 510686.02.ER is the exchange rate whose value is 1.05So the equation becomes:
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}\\NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{519686.02}{1.05}\\NPV_{dollars}=494939.0666=\$494939.07[/tex]
The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
