Answer:
$144,128
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what net present value of the project is closest to:
Initial investment = $250,000
Annual cash flow = $119,000
Expected life of project (n) = 4 years
Discount rate (i) = 8%
First step is to calculate the Present value of cash flows using this formula
Present value of cash flows = Annual cash flow x Present value annuity factor (i%, n)
Let plug in the formula
Present value of cash flows= 119000 x Present value annuity factor (8%, 4)
Present value of cash flows= 119,000 x 3.312
Present value of cash flows= $394,128
Now let determine the Net present value using this formula
Net present value = Present value of cash flows - Initial investment
Let plug in the formula
Net present value= $394,128 - $250,000
Net present value=$144,128
Therefore net present value of the project is closest to:$144,128

Consider the markets for tap water, bottled water, cola, and beer. Assume there is only one provider of tap water, bottled water manufacturers use advertising to differentiate their products, cola producers engage in strategic pricing behavior, and the beer market is largely controlled by only a few firms. Classify the market for each of the following drinks as either monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, or perfect competition.
Monopoly Oligopoly Monopolistic Competition Perfect Competition
Tap water
Bottled water
Cola
Beer
Answer:
Tap water ⇒ Monopoly
In a monopoly, there is only one supplier of a certain good or service. Tap water is therefore a monopoly as only one provider supplies it.
Bottle water ⇒ Monopolistic competition
In a monopolistic competition, similar but differentiated products are supplied. As bottled water is differentiated by advertising, it must exist in a monopolistic competition.
Cola ⇒ Oligopoly
An oligopoly is controlled by a few firms who have to engage in strategic planning behavior in order to sell their goods. This means that they would either lower prices to match competitors or collude with them to ensure stable prices.
Beer ⇒ Oligopoly
In an oligopoly, the market is controlled by a few firms who have an incentive to collude to set a certain price because a price war would be bad for all the firms involved.
University Car Wash built a deluxe car wash across the street from campus. The new machines cost $270,000 including installation. The company estimates that the equipment will have a residual value of $24,000. University Car Wash also estimates it will use the machine for six years or about 12,000 total hours. Actual use per year was as follows: Year Hours Used 1 3,100 2 1,100 3 1,200 4 2,800 5 2,600 6 1,200 2. Prepare a depreciation schedule for six years using the double-declining-balance method.
Answer:
Year Depreciation expenses
1 $90,000
2 $60,000
3 $40,000
4 $26,667
5 $17,778
6 $11,556
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the depreciation schedule for six years using the double-declining-balance method.
The double-declining-balance method is a depreciation approach in which the rate of depreciation for an asset is twice the rate of depreciation for the straight line method.
In the attached excel, the double-declining-balance depreciation rate is therefore calculated as follows:
Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of expected useful years = 1 / 6 = 0.166666666666667 = 16.6666666666667%
Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 16.6666666666667% *2 = 33.3333333333334%
Also note the following in the attached excel file:
Beginning depreciable amount in Year 1 = Cost of the new machine = $270,000
The depreciation expenses for Year 6 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $24,000 from Year 6 Beginning depreciable amount. That is:
Depreciation expenses for Year 6 = $35,556 - $24,000 = $11,556
The residual value of $24,000 therefore represents the book value at the end of Year 6.
From the attached excel file, we therefore have:
Year Depreciation expenses
1 $90,000
2 $60,000
3 $40,000
4 $26,667
5 $17,778
6 $11,556

Suppose the black market shrinks because firms shift to the formal sector, but production remains the same. GDP
Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
XYZ Corporation produces and sells 10,000 units of Product X each month. The selling price is $40 per unit, and variable expenses are $32 per unit. A study has been made concerning whether Product X should be discontinued. The study shows that $70,000 of the $120,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product X would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued. If Product X is discontinued, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be: Group of answer choices
Answer:
If the company discontinues Product X, income will decrease by $30,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= 10,000*40= $400,000
Total variable expense= 32*10,000= 320,000
Avoidable fixed costs= $50,0000
To calculate the effect on the income of discontinuing Product X, we need to use the following formula:
Effect on income= avoidable fixed cost - total contribution margin
Effect on income= 50,000 - (400,000 - 320,000)
Effect on income= $30,000 decrease
If the company discontinues Product X, income will decrease by $30,000.

a) How much will be saved each year?
b) What will be the monthly deposit?
c) What will be the amount in the account after 28 years?
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual salary= $26,600
Number of periods= 28*12= 336
Interest rate= 0.042/12= 0.0035
First, we need to calculate the annual savings:
Annual saving= 26,600*0.1= $2,660
Now, the monthly deposit:
Monthly deposit= 2,660/12= $221.67
Finally, the future value of the investment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {221.67*[(1.0035^336) - 1]} / 0.0035
FV= $141,535.3

Answer: Business Entity Concept
Explanation:
The Business entity concept posits that the owners of a business and the business itself, are different entities. This means that transactions involving the two are not to be mixed up but are to be recorded separately.
The reason this concept exists is to ensure that a business is analyzed and treated on its on merit and not that of its owner because the owner might be successful and the business isn't. The reverse is also true.
XYZ Inc violates this concept here by mixing the accounts of the owner and the business in order to influence a loan decision. This goes against accounting concepts and gave the company an incorrect valuation.

Bonita Industries constructed a building at a cost of $14400000. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures were $5620000, actual interest was $566000, and avoidable interest was $272000. If the salvage value is $1120000, and the useful life is 40 years, depreciation expense for the first full year using the straight-line method is
Answer:
$338,800
Explanation:
Cost of the building = $14400000
Average accumulated expenditures = $5620000
Actual interest = $566000
Avoidable interest = $272000
Salvage value = $1120000
Useful life = 40 years
Depreciation expense for the first full year:
= ((Cost of the building + Avoidable interest) - Salvage value) / Useful life
= (($14400000 + $272000) - $1120000) / 40
= ($14672000 - $1120000) / 40
= $13552000 / 40
= $338,800

Refer to the information. If government desired to raise the equilibrium GDP to $650, it could:
Answer:
The correct option is c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
(Advanced analysis) Answer the question on the basis of the following information for a mixed open economy. The letters Y, Ca, Ig, Xn, G, and T stand for GDP, consumption, gross investment, net exports, government purchases, and net taxes respectively. Figures are in billions of dollars.
Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T)
Ig = Ig0 = 50
Xn = Xn0 = 10
G = G0 = 70
T = T0 = 30
Refer to the information. If government desired to raise the equilibrium GDP to $650, it could:
a. raise G by $45 or reduce T by $10.
b. raise G by $40 and reduce T by $30.
c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.
d. raise both and T by $40.
e. reduce G by $30 and increase T by $40.
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Equilibrium GDP (Y) can be obtained as follows:
Y = C + G + I + Xn …………………….. (1)
Substituting all the values in the question into equation (1) and solve for Y, we have:
Y = 25 + 0.75(Y - 30) + 70 + 50 + 10
Y = 0.75Y - 22.50 + 155
Y – 0.75Y = 132.50
0.25Y = 132.50
Y = 132.50 / 0.25
Y = 530
Therefore, we have:
Y = Current equilibrium GDP = $530
Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required = Desired equilibrium GDP – Current equilibrium GDP = 650 - 530 = 120
From the question, we have:
Ca = 25 + 0.75(Y - T) ………………. (2)
The 0.75 in equation (2) is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Therefore, we have:
MPC = 0.75
Expenditure multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 4
Tax multiplier = - MPC / (1 – MPC) = -0.75 / (1 – 0.75) = -3
Amount of increase in G or government expenditure required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Expenditure multiplier = 120 / 4 = $30
Amount of tax cut or decrease in T required = Amount of increase in equilibrium GDP required / Tax multiplier = 120 / (-3) = -$40
Therefore, correct option is c. raise G by $30 or reduce T by $40.

Based on an examination of the risk and return data for a variety of alternative investments during the period of 1926-2011, which of the following statements is correct? Over the period of 1926-2011, the general trend of increasing riskiness among the following five assets is: U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. government long-term government bonds, long-term corporate bonds, large-company stocks, and small-company stocks. Over the period of 1926-2011, the general trend of increasing return among the following five assets is: U.S. Treasury bills, long-term corporate bonds, U.S. government long-term bonds, large-company stocks, and small-company stocks. Large-company stocks, rather than small-company stocks, exhibit the greater risk and the greater return. Small-company stocks, rather than long-term corporate bonds, exhibit both the greater return and the greater standard deviation.
Answer:
Based on an examination of the risk and return data for a variety of alternative investments during the period of 1926-2011, the correct statement is:
Small-company stocks, rather than long-term corporate bonds, exhibit both the greater return and the greater standard deviation.
Explanation:
Small-company stocks are known to show the highest volatility of returns among these five assets. The reason is that investors in small company stocks always expect higher returns to pay for the higher risks involved in such unproven investments, unlike investing in other assets. In addition, small-company stocks are known to pose higher risks given their known failure to deliver on their promised performance and returns.

Answer: Absorption costing
Explanation:
Absorption costing believes that all costs that went into the production of a good or service should be absorbed by/ apportioned to those same goods and services regardless of if the costs are direct or indirect.

D) The partnership must use the "least aggregate deferral" method to determine its "required" taxable year.
E) None of the above items are true.
Answer: D) The partnership must use the "least aggregate deferral" method to determine its "required" taxable year.
Explanation:
The Least Aggregate Deferral rule is used when neither of the partners can enforce their taxable year on the others because there is no dominant partner as is the case here because no shareholder has more than 50% ownership and the tax years of the partners are not aligned.
