Your Company is considering a new project that will require $100,000 of new equipment at the start of the project. The equipment will have a depreciable life of 10 years and will be depreciated to a book value of $5,000 using straight-line depreciation. The cost of capital is 14%, and the firm's tax rate is 30%. Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14865.93

Explanation:

Calculation to Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation.

First step is to calculate the Annual depreciation expense

Annual depreciation expense = [100000 - 5000]/10

Annual depreciation expense = 9500

Second step is to calculate the Tax benefit

Tax benefit = 9500(.30)

Tax benefit = 2850

Now let calculate the PV of tax benefit

Using financial calculator

PMT = 2850

FV = 0

N = 10

i = 14

PV=?

Hence

PV = 14865.93

Therefore the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation is 14865.93

As a result of the new VIA hotel/resort, tourists who stay in Myrtle Beach are likely to experience a :__________

a. a product-variety externality, which harms consumers.
b. product-variety externality, which benefits consumers.
c. business-stealing externality, which harms consumers.
d. business-stealing externality, which benefits consumers.

Answers

Answer:

b

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero

If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry.  This drives economic profit to zero

in the long run, only normal profit is earned

The product-variety externality: When new firms enter into an industry, competition drives price down. This increases consumer surplus. As a result, entry of firms into an industry results in a positive externality on consumers.  

The business-stealing externality: When a new firm enters into an industry, existing firms lose customers and profits fall. As a result, entry of a new firm results in a negative externality on existing firms.

actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:

Answers

Answer:

Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead

Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)

Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20

Relevant cost to make = $50.40

Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.

At the beginning of 2004, the Alaska Corporation had 2 million shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock. At the end of August, 2004, Alaska issued 600,000 new shares of common stock. If Alaska reported net income equal to $8.8 million, what was the firm's earnings per share for 2004

Answers

Answer:

$4

Explanation:

Earning per share (EPS) refers to earnings available to common shareholders which is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding equals the original 2 million shares plus 4/12 of the additional 600,000 shares.

The 4/12 weight is used because the new shares were only outstanding 4 months of the year.

Hence,

EPS = $8.8 million / [2 million + (4/12)(600,000)

EPS = $8.8 / $2.2

EPS = $4

What is the expected constant growth rate of dividends for a stock currently priced at Php 50, that is expected to pay a dividend of Php 5 next year, and has a required return of 20%?

Answers

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Using the Gordon Growth Model, the price of a stock can be calculated as follows:

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Notice that we are provided with all the figures in the formula above except the growth rate so we can calculate the growth rate with these figures:

50 = 5 / (20% - growth rate)

50 * (20% - growth rate) = 5

20% - growth rate = 5 / 50

-growth rate = 10% - 20%

-Growth rate / -1 = -10% / -1

Growth rate = 10%

TaskMaster Enterprises employs a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. TaskMaster has established the following standards for the prime costs of one unit of product. Standard Standard Standard Quantity Price Cost Direct Materials 8 pounds $ 1.80 per pound $ 14.40 Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 8.00 per hour 2.00 $ 16.40 During November, TaskMaster purchased 160,000 pounds of direct materials at a total cost of $304,000. The total factory wages for November were $42,000, 90% of which were for direct labor. TaskMaster manufactured 19,000 units of product during November using 142,500 pounds of direct materials and 5,000 direct labor hours. What is the direct labor rate variance for November

Answers

Answer:

The direct labor rate variance for November is $34,200

Explanation:

To find out the direct labor rate variance, we have to multiply the actual standard rate of direct labor into actual hours of direct labor used

Standard hourly rate of direct labor hour = $14.40

Actual direct labor hours = 5,000

Standard direct labor cost

= 5,000 × $14.40

= $72,000

Total factory wages are $42,000 in which direct labor is 90%

= $42,000 × 90%

= $37,800

Actual direct labor cost = $37,800

Therefore,

Direct labor rate variance = Standard direct labor cost - Actual direct labor cost

Direct labor rate variance

= $72,000 - $37,800

= $34,200

B. in new classical theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible, and in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be flexible.

C. adaptive expectations is the dominant expectations theory in new classical theory, and rational expectations is the dominant expectations theory in new Keynesian theory.

D. in new Keynesian theory the short-run aggregate supply curve is vertical, and in new classical theory the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

Answer:

A. in new classical theory wages are assumed to be flexible, and in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible.

Explanation:

The new classical theory (neoclassical view) posits that long-term expansion of potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) due to economic growth will determine the size of a country's economy but the economy cannot sustain production above its potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the long run.

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.

According to the new Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

Hence, the difference between the new classical theory (neoclassical view) and new Keynesian theory is that, in new classical theory wages are assumed to be flexible by economists while in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible.

A more efficient means of processing algae to produce an anticancer drug is discovered. As a result, the supply curve for the drug will: __________

a. shift to the right, increasing the price of the drug.
b. shift to the left, increasing the price of the drug.
c. shift to the right, decreasing the price of the drug
d. shift to the left, decreasing the price of the drug.

Answers

Answer:

c

Explanation:

As a result of an increase in efficiency in production, there would be an increase in supply. As a result, there would be an outward shift of the supply curve. When the supply curve shifts outward, supply increases and prices of drugs fall.

On the other hand, if there is an inward shift of the supply curve, the supply of drugs would fall and the price of drugs would increase

KJ Pharma issues new bonds to fund an acquisition. The face value of the bond is $100 and annual coupon is 6.5%. Further, this bond matures in 20 years and is issued at a price of $105. Assuming KJ Pharma's tax rate is 30%, what is its After-Tax Cost of Debt

Answers

Answer:

4.24%

Explanation:

The computation of the after tax cost of debt is given below:

But before that we have to determine the before tax of debt by using RATE formula

Given that

Future value be $100

Present value be $105

PMT is $100 × 6.5%  = $6.5

NPER is 20

The formula is

=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 6.06%

Now the after tax cost of debt is

= 6.06% × (1 - 0.30)

= 4.24%

Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.

Answer:

Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.

Explanation:

This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period.  Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period.  The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.

Job 148 requires $12,000 of direct materials, $6,700 of direct labor, 550 direct labor hours, and 270 machine hours. It also requires 9 hours of inspection at $40 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is computed at $28 per direct labor hour used and $42 per machine hour used. The total amount of overhead allocated is: a. $34,100. b. $26,740. c. $45,440. d. $15,400.

Instead of investing a lump of sum of $25000,Brittany Royer decides to svae the money in a vault for 2years. Assuming the inflation being 2.5%per year,how much will her purchasing power decline in 2years

Answers

Answer:

$1265.63

Explanation:

Inflation is a persistent rise in the general price levels

Types of inflation

1. demand pull inflation – this occurs when demand exceeds supply. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise

2. cost push inflation – this occurs when the cost of production increases. This leads to a reduction in supply. Higher prices are the resultant effect  

Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625

Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63

A. The value gained from practicing the piano for an hour.
B. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son for an hour.
C. The value of working at the library for an hour.
D. The value of babysitting her neighbor's son and working at the library for an hour.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B) The value of taking care of her neighbours son for 60 minutes.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost belongs more in the parlance of microeconomics and is used to describe the idea that one cannot have everything all the time. There are alternative ends competing for limited means. In order words, when we decide to take a course of action, in the hope of achieving a thing or getting a reward, there is always another benefit forgone.

So knowing that there is an opportunity that was foregone helps the microeconomist to think carefully about what they want to achieve using the limited resources at their disposal.

Further simplified, if I have $5 dollars to spend, and that amount can purchase either a cupcake or a cup of ice cream, the one I chose to buy becomes the opportunity taken, whilst the alternative forgone is the opportunity cost.

Therefore, the cost of an item is not just the amount of money for which it was purchased, but all other alternatives with which the same amount could have been purchased.

In the question above, Deidre would have chosen to babysit her neighbor's son. That to her is the next best use of her time, and therefore the opportunity cost. According to the question, she wouldn't have worked in the library even if she had nothing else to do. Hence, that does not pass as opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost must be an alternative choice and is very subjective.
