Answer:

IRR = 14.96%

The project should be rejected, because the calculated internal rate of return falls short of the required return (14.96% < 16%).

Explanation:

The internal rate of return (IRR) is an essential calculation in capital budgeting for assessing potential investment profitability. The IRR rule guides whether to pursue a project or investment, stipulating that if the IRR exceeds the minimum required return, the project should be accepted. Conversely, if it’s lower than the cost of capital or the requisite return, the project should be turned down.

The formula used is as follows:

$0 = (initial investment x -1) + CF1 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + CF2 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 +... + CFX / (1 + IRR) ^ X

Initial Investment = Total initial investment costs year x-1

CFx = Cash Flow during period X

IRR = Internal rate of return

Due to the nature of the IRR formula, it cannot be computed analytically; it must be derived through trial and error or via specialized software for IRR calculation.

In this instance:

IRR = -27200 + 11200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + 14200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + 10200 / (1 + IRR) ^ 3

IRR = 14.96%

The company should not proceed with the investment, as the calculated IRR is less than what is required (14.96% < 16%).

Response:

Clarification:

When the ABC company submitted its Articles of Incorporation to the State of California, they intended to operate as ABC Inc., which implies corporation status with limited liability.

However, if a lawsuit is initiated by XYZ Inc. for breach of contract, and considering that XYZ has filed this case against ABC, the company will shift to being recognized as a partnership subject to unlimited liability. This change occurs because ABC has received notification from the State of California indicating that their Articles of Incorporation were not accepted due to the omission of their Registered Agent on the application forms.

Answer:

The Beet Juice should undergo additional processing

Explanation:

A business should opt for further processing of a product if the income gained from the split-off point exceeds the costs associated with that further processing.

It’s also vital to understand that all expenses incurred before the crushing stage are considered irrelevant to the decision on further processing.

Product           Additional Rev.     Further process cost.     Net income(loss) ($)

Beet Fiber       40-27 =13                         16                              (3) See notes

Beet Juice       100- 43 = 57                28                              29

It is advisable to further process the beet juice into refined sugar while the beet fiber should not be processed any more. Processing the Beet Juice further will yield an additional profit of $29 per unit while Beet Fiber would lead to a deficit of  $(3)

Notes

The net income(loss) is calculated as the difference between income from further processing and the expenses for that processing. The net income(loss) for each product is worked out in the following way:

Beet Fiber  = 13- 16 = (3)

Beet Juice  = 57 - 28 = 29

To adjust for Rent Receivable:

Sanborn Company has a tenant paying $3,100 monthly for renting space. The tenant has outstanding rent for November and December, which results in a total Rent Receivable on December 31 of (3100*2) = $6,200

Consequently, the adjusting entry on December 31 should be recorded as follows:

Rent Receivable Debit $6,200

Rent Revenue Credit $6,200

(Reflecting adjustment for rent receivable)
