Suppose your boss has asked you to analyze two mutually exclusive projects - Project A and Project B. Both projects require the same investment amount, and the sum of cash inflows of Project A is larger than the sum of cash inflows of Project B. A coworker told you that you do not need to do an NPV analysis of the projects because you already know that Project A will have a larger NPV than Project B. Do you agree with your coworker's statement?a. Yes, Project A will always have the largest NPV, because its cash inflows are greater than Project B's cash inflows.
b. No, the NPV calculation will take into account not only the project's cash inflows but also the timing of cash inflows and outflows. Consequently, Project B could have a larger NPV than Project A, even though Project A has larger cash inflows.
c. No, the NPV calculation is based on percentage returns. So, the size of the project's cash flows does not affect a project's NPV.

Answer:
b. No, the NPV calculation will take into account not only the project's cash inflows but also the timing of cash inflows and outflows. Consequently, Project B could have a larger NPV than Project A, even though Project A has larger cash inflows.
Explanation:
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
An example:
Suppose there are two projects with a cash outlay of $500.
The cash flow for project A :
Cash flow from year 1 to 3 =$0
Cash flow from year 4 to 7 =$ 500
WACC = 10%
Using a financial calculator, the NPV =$690.78
The cash flow for project B
Cash flow for year one and two =$300
Cash flow for year three = $100
Cash flow for year four and five =$500
WACC = 10%
using a financial calculator, the NPV = $747.76
From this example, even though the cash flow from project A is higher than the cash flow from project B, project B's NPV is higher.
I hope my answer helps you.

Stocks ……………………………. $8,000
Utility bills ………………………. $500
Credit card bills …………………. $1,000
Auto loan ……………………….. $2,600
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Net assets = Total assets - Total debt
We know:
Checking account ………………… $2,000
Savings account ………………….. $4,000
Stocks ……………………………. $8,000
Utility bills ………………………. $500
Credit card bills …………………. $1,000
Auto loan ……………………….. $2,600
Let's classify them as asset or liability:
Assets: Checking account, Stocks, Savings account = 2000+4000+8000=14000
Liability: Utility bills, Credit card bills, Auto loan = 500+1000+2600=4100
So, net worth is 14000-4100=9900
Current ratio = Monetary assets/ Current liabilities;
Monetary assets = 2000+4000 = 6000
Current liabilities = 1000 + 500 = 1500
Current ratio = 6000/1500 = 4

Question: What is the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours
Answer: $410,000
Explanation:
The equation resulting from this regression analysis is:
Total overhead = Estimated fixed cost + Estimated variable cost per labor hour x Labor hours
= Intercept estimate + Coefficient estimate on independent variable x 60,000 DLH
= 110000 + 5 x 60000 DLH
= 110000 + 300000
= 410000
Here is the full question with the appropriate tables.
Cortez Company is planning to introduce a new product that will sell for $108 a unit. The following manufacturing cost estimates have been made on 20,000 units to be produced the first year;
Direct Materials $700,000
Direct Labor $720,000 (= $18 per hour × 40,000 hours)
Manufacturing overhead costs have not yet been estimated for the new product, but monthly date on total production and overhead costs for the post 24 months have been analyzed using simple linear regression. The following results were derive from the simple regression and provide the basis for overhead cost estimates for the new product.

$410,000.
$420,000.
$400,000.
$430,000.
Answer:
R² = 82.8%
$420,000
Explanation:
Given that:
R² = .828
The percentage of the variation in overhead costs explained by the independent variable in Y from the X regressor = %
= 82.8%
Given that:
direct labor-hours = 60,000
To calculate the Total overhead cost; we have:
(Total overhead) to be = Estimated fixed cost + estimated variable cost per
labor hour × labor-hours
= Intercept estimate + Coefficient estimate on
independent variable × 60,000 direct labor-hours
= $120,000 + ($5 × 60,000) direct labor-hours
= $120,000 + $300,000
= $420,000
∴ the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours = $420,000.

Answers
Answer:
The answers that seem to be correct are *Mention something you liked about the interview and *Use a business letter format. This would be a polite and friendly kind of a feedback mixed with good professionalism.
Explanation:
Now let's see why we rejected the other answer options.
1st of all, Sending a separate letter to each interviewer might be difficult as it could be really difficult to find the contact information of all the interviewers.
Sending thank-you letters to prospective co-workers is not a appropriate thing as you have not been selected still for the job.
Sending a quick text to the interviewer might not be appropriate as well. This is because those who interviewed you during the process are much more experienced and qualified than you and you should maintain your relationship with them professionally and with the utmost respect.
b. It shifts to the left
c. It does not change
Answers
Answer:b. It shifts to the left
Explanation:
The supply will increases as price increases and vice versa. When the price increases and supply also increases the supply curves shifts to the right and when the price decreases and supply equally decreases supply curves shifts to the left.
In the above scenario since bracelet and necklace are exclusive products the sellers will be willing to supply more of necklace since the price has increased and less of bracelet since the price has fallen and the fall in price which leads to fall in supply of bracelet will shift bracelet supply curves to the left.
