Costs = Units x Cost/unit

Total cost for 1 = sum of all costs

Total cost for 400 = 400 x 650 = $ 260,000

(b.)  Determine if the internal rate of return is higher, lower or equal to Neiman’s cost of capital.  Explain why the internal rate of return is higher, lower or equal.

The IRR is the rate of return where the NPV is zero. It can be seen that the rate of return is 8.99%. It can further be seen that the IRR is less than the cost of capital, it is further seen that this is due to the NPV being negative, in order to make it zero, the rate for discounting should be decreased.

Q20. The Western Region of ABC, LLC., has the following operating results:

Operating income is $32,000

Sales is $320,000

The Western Region’s assets are $160,000.

In addition, ABC’s management expects a 10% return on investments. 

(a.)  Calculate the Western Region’s margin, turnover, and return on investment based on the DuPont Model.

Profit Margin =

Assets Turnover =

ROI=

By DuPont = Profit Margin x Assets Turnover = 10% x 2 = 20%

(b.)  Calculate the Western Region’s residual income.

Residual Income = Profit – (Required Rate x Assets) = 32000 – (10% x 160000) = 16000
