Required:
Compute Project A's payback period.

Answers

Answer:

4.2 years

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Project A requires a $ 385,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five year life and a salvage value of $44,000. The company uses straight - line depreciation . Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $ 23,100 per year for the next five years.

Required:

Compute Project A's payback period.

Payback = amount invested / cash flow

cash flow = net income + depreciation

depreciation = (cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life

(385,000 - 44,000) / 5 = 68,200

Cash flow = 68,200 + $ 23,100 = 91300

$ 385,000 / 91300 =4.2

Answer:

Credit to Accounts Receivable Debit to Cash

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable is an asset account that represents the cash owed to the company by customers who bought goods or services on credit.

When the credit is paid, the accounts receivable account will reduce and so will be credited because assets are credited when they reduce.

Cash on the other hand will be debited to show that it has increased as assets are debited when they increase.

Now- a quick question. Assume at the beginning of Year2, Becker Company has a credit (positive) balance in the AOCI account of $10800. Becker Company reports $653000 of net income for Year2. Becker has an unrealized gain of $12000 during Year2. The gain qualifies as OCI (Other comprehensive income). 1. What will Becker report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year2 balance sheet

Answers

Answer:

Becker Company

The amount that Becker will report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

= $22,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year 2 Beginning balance:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) = $10,800 credit

Year 2 reported net income = $653,000

Unrealized gain during Year 2 = $12,000

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

Beginning balance $10,800

Unrealized gain        12,000

AOCI for Year 2 = $22,800

b) Becker's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income includes unrealized gains and losses arising from some investments, pension plans, and hedging transactions.  These are usually reported in the equity section of the balance sheet and then netted off from the retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:

71,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much are equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used

Using this formula

Equivalent units for materials=(Units transferred out to Finished goods + Units in ending work in process – Units in beginning work in process)

Let plug in the formula

Equivalent units for materials=75,000 + 2,000 – 6,000

Equivalent units for materials= 71,000

Therefore the equivalent units for materials if the FIFO method is used will be 71,000

The goal of any monopolist is to maximize:
economic profits.
normal profits.
price.
consumer welfare.
output.

Answers

Answer:

economic profits.

Explanation:

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes.

Also, a monopolist refers to any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market.

Generally, the goal of any monopolist is to maximize economic profits.

Basically, a monopolist earns an economic profit when the average total cost (AVC) of his goods and services is less than price.

Unlike a business firm operating in a perfectly competitive market, a monopolist can continue to earn economic profits in the long-run because there exist an extremely high level of barriers to entry for new business firms.

If the price elasticity of supply is 0.5 and the quantity supplied decreases by 6%, then the price must have decreased by 3%. a. True b. False

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.

The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.

Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price

0.5 = -6% / Change in price

0.5 * Change in price = -6%

Change in price = -6% / 0.5

= -12%

The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%

Concord Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18900 and ending work in process equaled 1000 units. Concord had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 30% complete and total materials costs equaled $86940

Answers

Answer:

the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the material cost per unit is shown below:

= Total material cost ÷ equivalent units of material

= $86,940 ÷ (18,900 - 1,000) × 100% + 1,000 × 100%

= $86,940 ÷ (17,900 + 1,000)

= $86,940 ÷ 18,900

= $4.60 per unit

Hence, the material cost per unit is $4.60 per unit

Wasilko Corporation produces and sells one product The budgeted selling price per unit is $114. Budgeted unit sales for February is 9,900 units. Each unit of finished goods requires 6 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $4.00 per pound. The direct labor wage rate is $24.00 per hour. Each unit of finished goods requires 2.4 direct labor-hours. Manufacturing overhead is entirely variable and is $9.00 per direct labor-hour. The variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold is $1.60. The fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $70,000. The estimated net operating income (loss) for February is closest to:

Answers

Answer: $21,080

Explanation:

First calculate the contribution margin per unit

= Sales - Variable costs

= Selling price - Raw materials - Direct labor cost - Manufacturing overhead - Variable selling and administrative expense

= 114 - (6 * 4) - (2.4 * 24) - (9 * 2.4) - 1.60

= $9.20

The Contribution margin is:

= 9.20 * 9,900 units

= $91,080

Net operating income = Contribution margin - fixed cost

= 91,080 - 70,000

= $21,080

Activity rate= Total maintenance cost / Total machine hours

Let plug in the morning

Activity rate=$214,500/ 10,000

Activity rate= $21.45 per Machine Hour

Activity rate for SETUPS

Using this formula

Activity rate= Total Setups /Setups

Let plug in the formula

Activity rate= $101,400/150

Activity rate=$676 per Setup

Activity rate for QUALITY CONTROL

Using this formula

Activity rate= Total Quality control /Quality inspections

Let plug in the formula

Activity rate= $153,000/450

Activity rate= $340 per Inspection

Therefore the activity rate for each of Halsted's cost pools will be:

Maintenance $21.45 per Machine Hour

Setup $676 per Setup

Quality Control $340 per Inspection

Question
In 2 hours, China can produce 6 bottles of milk. In 5 hours, it can produce 15 batches of pumpkins. What is the country's
opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk (in terms of batches of pumpkins)?
your answer below:

Answers

Answer:

China's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk is equal to one batch of pumpkins.

Explanation:

Given that in 2 hours, China can produce 6 bottles of milk, and in 5 hours, it can produce 15 batches of pumpkins, to determine what is the country's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk (in terms of batches of pumpkins), the following calculation must be performed:

Milk = 6/2 = 3 per hour

Batches of pumpkins = 15/5 = 3 per hour

3/3 = 1

Therefore, China's opportunity cost of producing 1 bottle of milk is equal to 1 batch of pumpkins.

g A construction company builds roads with machinery​ (capital, K) and labor​ (L). If we plot the isoquants for the production function so that labor is on the horizontal​ axis, then a point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high​ __________ use and low​ __________ use. A. ​labor; capital B. ​concrete; gravel C. ​capital; labor D. None of the above.

Answers

Answer:

A. ​labor; capital

Explanation:

In the production function theory, here we presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop that should be downward as it is shifted from left to right. Now if it is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right so here MRTS falls and the labor rises. Due to increased in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope

Therefore the option a is correct

The point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.

In a production function theory, we will presume that the isoquants should be convex shaped and the MRTS should be isoquant slop hence, should be downward as it is shifted from left to right.

if the MRTS is along on the horizontal axis that goes towards right, hence, the MRTS falls and the labor rises.

Hence, due to the increase in labor, the capital should falls because of the negative slope.

Therefore, the Option A is correct since the point on the isoquant with a small MRTS​ (in absolute​ value) is associated with high labor use and low capital use.

One key characteristic that is distinctive of an oligopoly market is that Group of answer choices the demand curve facing each firm is downward sloping, with a marginal revenue curve that lies below the firm's demand curve. the decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms. there is only one firm that produces a product for which there are no good substitutes. there are many sellers in the market and each is small relative to the total market.

Answers

Answer:

The decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms.

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure where there are only a few sellers. Therefore, around two or more firms have control over the market. Collectively, they can influence the prices and supply.

This ultimately results in high-level competition between these sellers. Since there are a few sellers in the oligopoly structure, each of these company's profit levels not only depends on the decisions made by them but also on the decisions made by their rival firms.

Hence, option no. 3 "the decisions of one seller often influence the price of products, the output, and the profits of rival firms" is correct.

If a company spends $80 million to build facility space sufficient to hold 5 million pairs of footwear-making equipment at a site in Latin America, then the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be

Answers

Answer: $8,000,000

Explanation:

From the question given, the cost of the building facility is $80 million. Also, it should be noted that the default rate for depreciation is given as 10%, therefore, the company's annual depreciation costs for this facility space will be:

= Depreciation rate × Cost of building

= 10% × $80,000,000

= 0.1 × $80,000,000

= $8,000,000

Firm A has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, and Firm Z has a 28 percent marginal tax rate. Firm A owns a controlling interest in Firm Z. The owners of Firm A decide to incur a $9,500 deductible expense that will benefit both firms.

Required:
Compute the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that:
a. Firm A incurs the expense
b. Firm Z incurs the expense

Answers

Answer:

a. $7,505

b.$6,840

Explanation:

a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)

After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)

After-tax cost=$7,505

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505

B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense

Using this formula

After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)

Let plug in the formula

After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)

After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )

After-tax cost=$6,840

Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840

g Find the monthly payment and estimate the remaining balance (to the nearest dollar). Assume interest is on the unpaid balance. 5-year car loan for $9700 at 5%; remaining balance after 4 years.

Answers

Answer:

Monthly payment $102.88

Outstanding balance after year 4 $1,201.76

Explanation:

First and foremost, the car loan amount of $9,700 is the present value of all monthly payments for 5 years as shown below:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV=car loan amount=$9,700

monthly payment=unknown

r=monthly interest rate=5%/12=0.004166667

n=number of monthly payments in 5 years=5*12=60

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-(1.004166667)^-120/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*(1-0.607161016 )/0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*0.392838984 /0.004166667

$9700=monthly payment*94.28134862

monthly payment=$9700/94.28134862

monthly payment=$102.88  

The outstanding balance after year 4 is the present value of monthly payments for the remaining 1 year(12 months)

PV=$102.88*(1-(1+0.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-(1.004166667)^-12/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*(1-0.951328238 )/0.004166667

PV=$102.88*0.048671762 /0.004166667

PV=$1,201.76

Which of the following is a major difference between a budget constraint and production possibilities frontier?

a. A production possibilities frontier conveys the relative prices of the two goods, whereas a budget constraint accounts for diminishing returns.
b. A production possibilities frontier is usually straight, whereas a budget constraint is typically curved.
c. A budget constraint typically has a constant slope, whereas the slope of a production possibilities frontier is usually different at various points.
d. There is no difference. They convey the same information.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

So, the PPF exhibits diminishing return. The slope of the PPF is different at different points. this makes the PPF a curve

the budget constraint is a straight line that shows the various combinations of goods a consumer can consume given her income. the budget constraint is a straight line because the slope is constant at each point on the curve

Also, the slope of the budget constraint is the relative prices of the two goods

Activity A is worth $100, is complete, and actually cost $150. Activity B is worth $500, is 75% complete, and has actually cost $400 so far. Activity C is worth $500, is 25% complete, and has actually cost $200 so far. What is the estimated cost at completion for this project, assuming current variances are typical of future variances?

Answers

Answer:

$1,375

Explanation:

Budget at completion = Worth of activity A + Worth of activity B + Worth of activity C

Budget at completion = $100 + $500 + $500

Budget at completion = $1,100

Earned value = Worth of activity A*% completed + Worth of activity B*% completed + Worth of activity C*% completed

Earned value = $100*100% + $500*75% + $500*25%

Earned value = $100 + $375 + $125

Earned value = $600

Actual cost = Actual cost of Activity A + Actual cost of Activity B + Actual cost of Activity C

Actual cost = $150 + $400 + $200

Actual cost = $750

Cost performance Index = Earned value / Actual cost

Cost performance Index = $600 / $750

Cost performance Index = 0.80

Cost performance Index = 80%

Estimate at completion = Budget at completion / Cost performance Index

Estimate at completion = $1,100 / 0.80

Estimate at completion = $1,375
