Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its ex

isting machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.

Use the net present value method to determine whether Hillsong should purchase the new machine to replace the existing machine, and state the reason for your conclus

Answer:

NPV = negative 37,599

Explanation:

To determine the NPV of the new sewing machine, we subtract the investment from the present value of anticipated cash inflows.

Initial investment = Cost of machine + Training expenses - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should refrain from acquiring the new machine since the NPV is negative.

Katen [3525]

The share of the overall price attributed to the product is under 50%, likely around 35-40%.

Clarification:

Given that the product's standalone price is $450 while the service is priced at $550, the total cost when both are purchased separately comes to at least $1000. However, the company is currently offering a promotion, selling both for $800.

This indicates that the business is experiencing some loss that must be absorbed. The discount provided to clients results in a loss of $200, which acts as a motivation for the customers.

A company has retained earnings of $94,000 as of December 31, 2014. The Pro-forma income statement projects net income of $22,00
marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

$46,000.

Explanation:

To determine the retained earnings as of the end of 2015, we must first assess the total dividend that will be distributed to shareholders, and then combine the net income from 2015 with the leftover retained earnings from the conclusion of 2014 (after the distribution of 2014's dividend in March 2015) to arrive at the retained earnings figure for the close of 2015.

Total dividend on March 2015 = 0.7 x 100,000 = 70,000

Retained Earnings as of the end of 2015 = 94,000 - 70,000 + 22,000 = 46,000.

                                                         Value            %                   Value

Company A  50 % at 100                5,000              8 %                 5,400

Company B 30 % at 100                 3,000              12 %                3,360    

Company C 20 % at 100                  2,000             10 %                2,200

Total amounts                             10,000                                     10,960

To find the average return, take the increase in value over the base, divided by the base

10,960 -  10,000  =  960/ 10000  = 9.6 % average return
