Adams Industries holds 55,000 shares of FedEx common stock, which is not a large enough ownership interest to allow Adams to exercise significant influence over FedEx. On December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, the market value of the stock is $98 and $112 per share, respectively. What is the appropriate reporting category for this investment and at what amount will it be reported in the 2022 balance sheet

Answer:

The explanation is given below:-

$6,160,000

Explanation:

Since owning shares is not a huge enough to exert significant control. So, strategy for reporting would be a fair value process.

According to the scenario the computation of amount reported in the 2022 balance sheet is shown below:-

Fair value through net income = Shares of FedEx common stock × Market value of the stock of 31 Dec 2022

= 55000 × $112

= $6,160,000

So, for computing the amount reported in the 2022 balance sheet we simply multiply the Shares of FedEx common stock with Market value of the stock of 31 Dec 2022.

Stahlmaere Inc. is a start-up company that manufactures simple machines. It is interested in analyzing the profit from a new machine using Monte Carlo simulation. It wants to investigate the profit resulting from a selling price of $150 per unit. The setup and advertising costs are known to total $75,000. They assume that the demand for the product is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 units and a standard deviation of 100 units. The company estimates that the raw material cost per unit is uniformly distributed between $5 and $6. The labor cost per unit is assumed to follow a discrete uniform distribution from $12 to $16. A junior analyst has devised the following Excel spreadsheet that simulates a single scenario using the information given above: Selling price per unit = 150 Set up and advertising cost = 75000 Demand = =NORM.INV(RAND(),1500,100) Raw material cost per unit = =5+(6-5)*RAND() Labor cost per unit = =RANDBETWEEN(12,16) Profit = =(B1*B4)-B2-((B5+B6)*B4) Copy-and-paste the above information into cells A1:B8 of an Excel spreadsheet. Then use a data table to repeat the simulation 1000 times. From the simulation results, estimate Stahlmaere's expected mean profit. Understanding that simulation is random in nature and that your estimate is unlikely to match any of the answer choices exactly, choose the answer choice that is closest to the estimated mean profit.

B. $50,000
C. $150,000

In 2017 Waterways is considering buying five new backhoes to replace the backhoes it now has. The new backhoes are faster, cost less to run, provide for more accurate trench digging, have comfort features for the operators, and have 1-year maintenance agreements to go with them. The old backhoes are working just fine, but they do require considerable maintenance.

The following information is available to use in deciding whether to purchase the new backhoes.
Old Backhoes New Backhoes
Purchase cost when new $90,000 $200,000
Salvage value now $42,000

Salvage value in 8 years $15,000 $90,000
Remaining life 8 years 8 years
Net cash flow generated each year $30,425 $43,900
Required:
