Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $290,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $83,653 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000.
b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last eleven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $46,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.89 years

3.18 years

Explanation:

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow

Cash flow = net income + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

(290,000 -11,000) / 4 = 69,750

Cash flow = $83,653 + 69,750 = 153,403

Payback = $290,000 / 153,403 = 1.89

(200,000 - 15,000) / 11 = 16,818.18

Cash flow = $46,000 +  16,818.18 = 62,818.18

Payback = 200,000 / 62,818.18 = 3.18

d. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments from abroad increase by $50,000, so US GDP remains unchanged

Answers

Answer:

a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000

Explanation:

The German firm hired an American worker and paid him $50,000. That means that American national income will increase by $50,000.

Since the company is German, that would increase factor payments ot abroad by the difference = $70,000 - $50,000 = $20,000.

Total GDP increases by the amount of $50,000  + $20,000 = $70,000

Should the firms' overseas operations be judged by the standards (legal, economic, cultural, and moral) of the country in which it is operating or should they be judged by the standards of the U.S. market?

Answers

Answer: Standards of the country they operate in

Explanation:

Various countries have differing norms on what is legally, socially, morally and culturally acceptable. In order to be able to operate in those countries, companies would have to adapt to these requirements in order to maximize business operations.

It would therefore be illogical to judge these overseas operations in terms of the U.S. market which would be different from them. They should be judged on their own merit and then a standardizing factor can be used to relate them to the U.S. market to see whether they are performing well given their unique circumstances.

MC Qu. 116 CWN Company uses a job order costing... CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $70,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $85,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:

Answers

Answer:

85%

Explanation:

With regards to the information above, predetermined overhead will be computed as;

Predetermined overhead = (Estimated overhead / Expected labor cost) × 100

Estimated overhead = $85,000

Expected labor cost = $100,000

Then,

Predetermined overhead = ($85,000 / $100,000) × 100

Predetermined overhead = 85%

Therefore, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be 85%

On August 11, it returned $1,500 worth of merchandise. On August 16, it paid the full amount due. The amount of the cash paid on August 16 equals:___.
A. $8, 167.50.
B. $9, 652.50.
C. $9, 750.00.
D. $8, 250.00.
E. $8, 152.50.

Answers

Answer:

A. $8, 167.50

Explanation:

The fact Juniper company returned $1,500 worth of merchandise, means that it is only obliged to pay the amount of $8,250($9,750-$1,500).

However, the payment was made on 16th August, which is the discount period of 10 days, hence, the cash paid on August 16 is computed thus:

cash paid=amount of merchandise owed*(1-discount rate)

discount rate=1%(1% discount if payment is made within 10 days of the purchase date)

cash paid=$8,250*(1-1%)

cash paid=$ 8,167.50

Answers

Answer:

Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.

Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.

Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.

Following a decrease in price from $1.90 to $1.50, the weekly demand for a magazine increases from 100,000 to 120,000 copies. The price elasticity of demand for magazines in this range is:

Answers

Answer:

0,95

inelastic

Explanation:

0.21

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

A TV manufacturing company uses speakers at the rate of 8000/mo. When it places an order for speakers it incurs a fixed cost of $1200. The monthly interest rate for keeping a speaker in stock is assessed at 1%/mo. The cost of the speaker depends on the order size. If less than 1000 speakers are ordered the cost is $11 each. When the order size is between 1000 and 10,000 the cost is $10.50/unit. For order sizes between 10,000 and 30,000 the cost is $10 per unit. For order quantities between 30,000 and 80,000 the cost drops to $9.50. Beyond 80,000 the cost is $9.25. Determine the optimum order size and time between orders if shortages are not allowed.

The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 200th gallon of gasoline entails the following:
• a private cost of $3.03;
• a social cost of $3.23;
• a value to consumers of $3.39.
Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 220 gallons; that is, Q MARKET = 220. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:________
a. $3.08.
b.$2.77.
c. $2.45.
d. $3.69.

Answers

Answer:

a. $3.08

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:

Based on the information given the Private cost is $3.03 while the Social cost is $3.23 which indicates that Social cost lies ABOVE the private cost and since The MARKET EQUILIBRIUM tend to occurs when Private value=Private cost which means that the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE lies between $3.03 and $3.23, Therefore the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE of a gallon would be $3.08 because it lies between $3.03 and $3.23.

Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $9 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $13 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is .30, and the probability of it being low is .70. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.

Bonita Industries purchased machinery for $1030000 on January 1, 2017. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a $82000 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was sold on May 1, 2021 at a gain of $27500. How much cash did Bonita receive from the sale of the machinery?
a. $138,000
b. $162,000
c. $198,000
d. $258,000

Answers

Answer:

$235,900

Explanation:

Depreciation p.a. = ($1030000 - $82,000) / 5 years

Depreciation p.a. = $189,600

Depreciation charged till the Jan 1 ,2021 (4 years)

= $189,600 * 4 years

= $758,400

Depreciation charged till May 1, 2021 (4 month)

= $189,600 * 4 months/12 months

= $63,200

Value of the asset = $1030000 - $758,400 - $63,200

Value of the asset = $208,400

Cash received from sale of machinery = $208,400 + $27,500 (gain)

Cash received from sale of machinery = $235,900

If there are six firms in an industry and the market shares of the firms are 32 percent, 25 percent, 19 percent, 9 percent, 8 percent and 7 percent, the Herfindahl index is

Answers

Answer: 2,204

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) shows just how competitive an industry is with a higher HHH meaning that it is not very competitive and a lower one meaning that it is quite competitive.

It is calculated by adding up the squares of the percentage market shares of the firms in the industry of interest:

= 32² + 25² + 19² + 9² + 8² + 7²

= 1,024 + 625 + 361 + 81 + 64 + 49

= 2,204

Product K has a unit contribution margin of $120. Product L has a unit contribution margin of $100. Product K requires five furnace hours, while Product L requires four furnace hours. Determine the most profitable product, assuming the furnace is a bottleneck constraint.

Answers

Answer: Product L is more profitable

Explanation:

The unit contribution margin per production of product K per bottleneck hour will be:

= $120/5

= $24

The unit contribution margin per production of product L per bottleneck hour will be:

= $100/4

= $25

Product L is more profitable as it gives a profit of ($25 - $24) = $1 more than product K

Hint: (Explanation) The answer is A. The car is moving to the right and slowing down, so the acceleration points to the left. The only significant force acting on the car is the braking force, so this must be pointing left because the net force always shares the same direction as the object's acceleration. 4.
