Item 1 5 units Cost $50 Market $45 Item 2 7 units Cost $60 Market $65 Item 3 9 units Cost $30 Market $25 Applying the lower of cost or market method, the reported value of this company's ending inventory if LCM is applied to individual items is _____.
Answer:
Ending Inventory $870
Explanation:
Item #1 5 units Cost $50 Market $45 = 5 units x $45 = $225
Item #2 7 units Cost $60 Market $65 = 7 units x $60 = $420
Item #3 9 units Cost $30 Market $25 = 9 units x $25 = $225
Total inventory $225 + $420 + $225 = $870
For Items #3 and #1 As the market price ofthe items is lower than the historic cost (acquisition cost) of the good we shoudl decrease the valuation and use market price.
Enviro Company issues 10%, 10-year bonds with a par value of $330,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 12%, which implies a selling price of 88 1/2. Prepare the journal entry for the issuance of the bonds for cash on January 1.
Answer:
cash 292,050 debit
discount on BP 37,950 debit
bonds payable 330,000 credit
Explanation:
par value $330,000
issuance selling price 88 1/2 = 88.5% of face value
$330,000 x 88.5% = $292,050
As it is being issued below par value we have a discount for $ 37,950
Overtime the company will adjust the carrying value of the bonds until it matches the face value at maturity.
Suppose a new company decides to raise a total of $200 million, with $100 million as common equity and $100 million as long-term debt. The debt can be mortgage bonds or debentures, but by an iron-clad provision in its charter, the company can never raise any additional debt beyond the original $100 million. Given these conditions, which of the following statements is correct?
a. The higher the percentage of debt represented by mortgage bonds, the riskier both types of bonds will be and, consequently, the higher the firm’s total dollar interest charges will be.
b. If the debt were raised by issuing $50 million of debentures and $50 million of first mortgage bonds, we could be certain that the firm’s total interest expense would be lower than if the debt were raised by issuing $100 million of debentures.
c. In this situation, we cannot tell for sure how, or whether, the firm’s total interest expense on the $100 million of debt would be affected by the mix of debentures versus first mortgage bonds. The interest rate on each of the two types of bonds would increase as the percentage of mortgage bonds used was increased, but the result might well be such that the firm’s total interest charges would not be affected materially by the mix between the two.
d. The higher the percentage of debentures, the greater the risk borne by each debenture, and thus the higher the required rate of return on the debentures.
e. If the debt were raised by issuing $50 million of debentures and $50 million of first mortgage bonds, we could be certain that the firm’s total interest expense would be lower than if the debt were raised by issuing $100 million of first mortgage bonds.
Answer: In this situation, we cannot tell for sure how, or whether, the firm’s total interest expense on the $100 million of debt would be affected by the mix of debentures versus first mortgage bonds. The interest rate on each of the two types of bonds would increase as the percentage of mortgage bonds used was increased, but the result might well be such that the firm’s total interest charges would not be affected materially by the mix between the two.
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that a new company decides to raise a total of $200 million, with $100 million as common equity and $100 million as long-term debt and that the debt can be mortgage bonds or debentures, but by an iron-clad provision in its charter, the company can never raise any additional debt beyond the original $100 million.
Based on the above scenario, we cannot really decide yet whether the total interest expense of the from on the $100 million of debt would be either affected by the mix of debentures and the first mortgage bonds.
Even though there will be a rise in the interest rate on the two types of bonds due to the increase in the percentage of mortgage bond, but at the end, the firm’s total interest charges may not even be affected materially by the mix between the two.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
What should an administrator consider when configuring workflow rules?(2 answers)
a. Rules can be evaluated when records are created or edited
b. Rules must be deactivated before using an import wizard
c. All existing records are evaluated when a new rule is activated
d. Rule actions can take place immediately or on a specific date
Answer:
a. Rules can be evaluated when records are created or edited.
d. Rule actions can take place immediately or on a specific date.
Explanation:
Workflow in Salesforce enable users to automate standard internal procedures and processes to save time across the business by using the workflow rule.
A workflow rule is a set of workflow instructions using the if/then statement syntax.
An administrator should consider the following when configuring workflow rules;
1. Rules can be evaluated when records are created or edited: in this case, the criteria that affects the running of a rule and the consequent actions to be executed when there's a match are defined herein. This simply means that, once a rule is created or edited and it meets or matches with the criteria, the rule would run no matter what.
2. Rule actions can take place immediately or on a specific date: time triggers are used for time dependent rules. This simply means that, the rule would run at the specified time.
Basically, the workflow rule in Salesforce can be used to perform various tasks, such as sending an email, updating fields etc.
The opening balance of Company A is 25,000, and the repayment is scheduled for 1,000 per month at an annual interest rate of 5%. Use the average debt balance to calculate the interest payment. The closing balance of debt at the end of the month is _____ and the interest payment is _____.
Answer:
Closing balance of debt at the end of the month = $24,000
Interest payment = $102.08
Explanation:
The computation of closing balance of debt at the end of the month and the interest payment is shown below:-
Closing balance of debt at the end of the month = Opening balance of company A - Scheduled Repayment per month
= $25,000 - $1,000
= $24,000
Interest payment = Average Debt × Annual interest rate × 12 months
= (($25,000 + $24,000) ÷ 2) × 0.05 ÷ 12 months
= $102.08
Therefore we have applied the above formulas.
According to the Phillips curve, policymakers could reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate by Group of answer choices increasing the money supply. raising taxes. increasing government expenditures None of the other answers is correct
Answer:
None of the other answers is correct.
Explanation:
Williams A. Phillips was a notable economist born in New Zealand. Phillips wrote a famous article titled "The Relation between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom, 1861-1957" published in 1958 by Economica. In the article, he used data for the United Kingdom (U.K) to illustrate on a graph, a negative or inverse relationship between the rate of change of employee wages in the U.K and the unemployment rate in the United Kingdom (U.K).
Consequently, using the Phillips curve it is practically impossible for policymakers to reduce both the inflation rate and the unemployment rate because as the inflation rate decreases; the unemployment rate increases and vice-versa.
However, according to the Phillips curve, policymakers can reduce inflation and increase unemployment if aggregate demand is contracted.
The company has an opportunity to sell 40,000 additional units at $12 per unit. The additional sales would not affect its current expected sales. Direct materials and labor costs per unit would be the same for the additional units as they are for the regular units. However, the additional volume would create the following incremental costs: (1) total overhead would increase by 16% and (2) administrative expenses would increase by $172,000.
Calculate the combined total net income if the company accepts the offer to sell additional units at the reduced price of $13 per unit.
Answer:
$1,576,000
Explanation:
The computation of the combined total net income is shown below:

Chen Company’s Small Motor Division manufactures a number of small motors used in household and office appliances. The Household Division of Chen then assembles and packages such items as blenders and juicers. Both divisions are free to buy and sell any of their components internally or externally. The following costs relate to small motor LN233 on a per unit basis.
Fixed cost per unit $ 5
Variable cost per unit $11
Selling price per unit $35 Instructions
(a) Assuming that the Small Motor Division has excess capacity, compute the minimum acceptable price for the transfer of small motor LN233 to the Household Division.
(b) Assuming that the Small Motor Division does not have excess capacity, compute the min-imum acceptable price for the transfer of the small motor to the Household Division.
(c) Explain why the level of capacity in the Small Motor Division has an effect on the transfer price.
Answer:
a. $11
b. $35
c. If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.
Explanation:
The minimum acceptable price is the price that is acceptable to the transferring division and out of a range of acceptable prices, it is that which would be the best for the company.
When there is excess capacity.
Note : No opportunity costs would exist.
Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
= $11
When there is excess capacity.
Note : Opportunity costs would exist.
Minimum acceptable price = Variable Cost - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
= $11 + ($35 - $11 )
= $35
Why Capacity of transferring division (Small Motor Division) has an effect on the transfer price.
If the transferring division does not have excess capacity,this would mean that some units that could have been sold externally would be transferred internally and this creates an opportunity cost. Opportunity costs increase the transfer price.However no opportunity cost exist if transferring division has excess capacity and hence a lower transfer price.

Ginny currently earns a (real or nominal) wage of $12.00 per hour; in other words, the amount of her paycheck each week is $12.00 per hour times the number of hours she works. Suppose the price of sparkling water is $2.50 per gallon; in this case, Ginny (real or nominal) wage, in terms of the amount of sparkling water she can buy with her paycheck, is gallons of sparkling water per hour. When workers and firms negotiate compensation packages, they have expectations about the price level (and changes in the price level) and agree on a (real or nominal) wage with those expectations in mind. If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's (real or nominal) wage is than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage.
Ginny and her employer both expected inflation to be 4% between 2012 and 2013, so they agreed, in a two-year contract, that she would earn $12.00 per hour in 2012 and $12.48 per hour in 2013. However, suppose inflation between 2012 and 2013 actually turned out to be 5%, not 4%. For example, suppose the price of apple juice rose from $2.00 per gallon to $2.10 per gallon. This means that between 2012 and 2013, Ginny's nominal wage by___________ % , and her real wage by approximately____________ .
Answer:
since we are using this year as our base year, Ginny's real and nominal wage is $12 per hour
price of sparkling water $2.50 per gallon
Ginny can buy 4.8 gallons of sparkling water per hour of work
If the price level turns out to be higher than expected, a worker's real wage is LOWER than both the worker and employer expected when they agreed to the wage.
Ginny and her employer both expected inflation to be 4% between 2012 and 2013, so they agreed, in a two-year contract, that she would earn $12.00 per hour in 2012 and $12.48 per hour in 2013. However, suppose inflation between 2012 and 2013 actually turned out to be 5%, not 4%. This means that between 2012 and 2013, Ginny's nominal wage INCREASED by 4%, and her real wage by DECREASED BY approximately 0.92%.
Ginny's real wage in 2013 = $12.48 / 1.05 = $11.89
it decreased by ($11.89 - $12) / $12 = -0.92%
Assume the firm has a constant dividend payout ratio and a projected sales increase of 12 percent. All costs, assets, and current liabilities vary directly with sales. The firm is currently at full production. What is the external financing need? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190
Answer:
$521.45
Explanation:
the formula used to calculate EFN is:
EFN = (Assets/Sales) x ($ Δ Sales) - (Liabilities/Sales) x ($Δ Sales) - [Profit margin x forecasted sales x (1 - dividend payout)]
sales = $4,700
net income is $420
total assets = $7,890
dividends = $125, dividend payout = $125 / $420 = 29.76%
liabilities $790
profit margin = $420 / $4,700 = 8.94%
forecasted sales = $5,264
change in sales = $564
EFN = (7,890/4,700) x (564) - (790/4,700) x (564) - [0.0894 x 5,264 x (1 - 0.2976)] = $946.80 - $94.80 - $330.55 = $521.45
Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 - 0.5q, where p is the price in dollars per hour and q is hours per month. The firm faces a constant marginal cost of $1.If the firm will charge a monthly access fee plus a per hour rate, according to two-part tariff pricing, the total monthly access fee that the firm will collect from all the buyers taken together equals:a. $1.b. $5.c. $8.d. $16.
Answer:
d. $16.
Explanation:
The computation of the total monthly access fee is shown below:
Given that
p = 5 - 0.5q
Constant Marginal cost = 1
Based on the above information,
As we know that
In case of the two-part pricing, the monopolist is equal to the hourly rate
i.e (p) = MC
5 - 0.5q = 1
0.5q = 4
So, q = 8
And,
p = MC = $1
Moreover,
Total monthly access fees equal the whole consumer surplus
As per the demand function,
when q = 0 and p = $5
So,
Monthly Access fee is
= (0.5) × ($5 - 1) x 8
= 4 × $4
= $16
Consider the following activities that take place in a veterinary clinic. (a.) Cleaning cages. (b.) Heating and air conditioning the clinic. (c.) Sending blood work to a lab. (d.) Dispensing medicine. Which of the following statements is true? A. Sending blood work to a lab is a facility level activity. B. Dispensing medicine is a facility level activity. C. Service entities cannot use ABC for overhead allocation. D. Heating and air conditioning the clinic is a facility level activity. E. Cleaning cages is a facility level activity
Answer: D. Heating and air conditioning the clinic is a facility level activity.
Explanation:
Facility Level Activities affect the entire operations/ facility of a firm and as such cannot be apportioned or traced to the individual products that the company makes. They are thus fixed and do not vary with production level.
From the above options, Heating and Air Conditioning the clinic affects the entire facility and cannot be apportioned to the services that the veterinary clinic offers. As such it is indeed a Facility Level Activity.
Expenses for a Pizza restaurant include raw material for pizza at $4.00 per slice, $116.00 as monthly rental and $45.00 monthly as insurance. Lost sale expense is considered to be $4.00 per unhappy customer. Leftover Pizza can be sold for $3. The restaurant is open 25 days in a month. Today the restaurant prepared 200.00 pizza slices and sells them for $10.00/slice. There was a party at a nearby office so the demand for pizza went up to 212.00 slices. How much profit did the restaurant earn today
Answer:
The restaurant earned a profit of $1145.56 which is approximately $1146
Explanation:
the formula is given as:
Q x (sale price – material cost) – ( rental + insurance)/day - loss
Q = 200
Sale price = $10
Material cost = $4
rental = $116
insurance = $45
lost sale expense = $4
day = 25
increased demand = 212
= 200(10 - 4) - (116 + 45)/25 - (212 - 200)4
= 200(6) - 6.44 - 48
= 1200 - 6.44 - 48
= $1145.56
This is approximately $1146
If the interest rate in the United Kingdom is 8 percent, the interest rate in the United States is 10 percent, the spot exchange rate is $1.75/£1, and interest rate parity holds, what must be the one-year forward exchange rate?
Answer:
The answer is $1.78 / £1
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
Interest rate of United kingdom = 8%
Interest rate of United States =10%
Spot exchange rate =$1.75£1
The next step is to find the one year forward rate of exchange
Thus
Forward Rate = S₀ * [ ( 1 + Rus) / ( 1 + RE) ]
=$ 1.75 * ( ( 1 + 10%) / ( 1 + 8%) )
$1.78
Therefore, the forward exchange rate is $ 1.78 / £1
Lynn, a company owner, looks at her financial statements. She wants to know how much the cash balance contributed to total assets on the balance sheet. What would you suggest
Answer:
conduct a vertical financial analysis using a total from the balance sheet
Explanation:
Based on what exactly Lynn wants, the best suggestion for her in this scenario would be to conduct a vertical financial analysis using a total from the balance sheet. This is a method of financial statement analysis in which each line item is listed as a percentage of a base figure within the statement. Doing so will give her the percentage that each asset contributed to the total balance sheet.

Manufacturing overhead 180,000
Sales 800,00
Required:
Compute cost of goods manufactured $____________________
Answer:
The cost of goods manufactured is $557,300
Explanation:
In order to calculate the cost of goods manufactured we would have to make the following calculation:
cost of goods manufactured=Work in process inventory 1/1+Total manufacturing costs-Work in process 12/31
Work in process inventory 1/1)= $13,500
Total manufacturing costs=Direct materials used+Direct labor+Manufacturing overhead
Total manufacturing costs=166000+220000+180000=$566,000
Work in process 12/31=$22,200
Cost of goods manufactured=$13,500 +$566,000 -$22,200
Cost of goods manufactured= $557,300
The cost of goods manufactured is $557,300
Your division is considering two projects with the following cash flows (in millions): 0 1 2 3 Project A -$16 $7 $9 $10 Project B -$26 $14 $20 $11 What are the projects' NPVs assuming the WACC is 5%
Answer:
NPV project A = $7.47 million
NPV project B = $14.98 million
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
For project A :
Cash flow in year 0 = -$16
Cash flow in year 1= $7
Cash flow in year 2 = $9

Suppose only two airlines, United and Delta provide flights between Atlanta and Greenville. Both firms must choose whether to advertise or not advertise.The advertising straategies with corresponding profits are depicted in the payoff matrix. United Aitlines profits are in blue and Deltas Airlines are in red.United Airlines dominant strategy is advertise or not advertise ( choose one),and Delta donminant strategy is to advertise or not advertise (choose ones)What is the Nash equilibrium for this game? (choose one)a) United will choose to advertise and Delta will choose not to advertiseb) United will choose not to advertise and Delta will choose to advertisec) United and Delta will both choose to advertised) United and Delta will both choose not to advertise
Answer and Explanation:
(1) A dominant strategy is a strategy selected by one player regardless of the other player 's strategy.
According to the question
United dominant strategy is to Advertise, as it contains higher payoff ($9,000 > $1,000 and $16,000 > $11,000).
While on the other hand, Delta dominant strategy is to Advertise, as it contains higher payoff ($9,000 > $1,000 and $16,000 > $11,000).
(2) If Delta advertises, the best option for United is to advertise as the payout is higher($9,000 > $1,000).
If Delta does not advertise, the better option for United is to advertise as the payoff is higher($16,000 > $11,000).
The best strategy for Delta as United Advertises is to advertise because the payoff is higher ($9,000 > $1,000).
If United doesn't advertise, the best strategy for Delta is to advertise as the payoff is higher($16,000 > $11,000).
Hence Nash equilibrium is: (United Advertises, Delta Advertises)
The traditional short-run Phillips curve implies a powerful role for monetary policy. According to the theory, place the events in order based on what happens when the central bank unexpectedly expands the money supply.
a. the economy is in equiblirium at full employment (u=u)
b. the central bank injects new money into the money supply
c. aggerate demand increases
d. the inflation rate rises and the unemployment rate falls to a new equilibrium
Answer: A -> B -> C -> D
Explanation:
The Short Run Phillips Curve holds that in the short run, there is an inverse relationship between Unemployment and inflation because there is a trade-off between the two. As one rises, the other falls.
The sequence of events is,
At first, the Economy is in Equilibrium at u=u*.
The Central Bank then embarks on Expansionary Monetary policy and injects money into the economy. This will have the effect of putting more money into people's pockets.
As this happens, people will then have more money to buy more goods and services which they will. This is a rise in Aggregate Demand in the economy.
As Aggregate Demand rises, the Economic equation kicks in which is that the higher the demand, the higher the price. This increase will therefore lead to an increase in price levels which is inflation. The Unemployment rate will then fall because as the Phillips Curve shows, Unemployment falls as inflation rises.
Eleanor often borrows her roommate’s car without permission because she does not have one of her own. One day, Eleanor goes on a joy ride on rocky terrain and gets a flat tire. Eleanor refuses to replace the tire because she does not own the car. Which of the following is true?
A. Because Eleanor had permission to use the car, she has not committed a tort.B. Eleanor may be held liable under a tort because roommates have a legal expectation of compensation for damaged possessions. C. Because Eleanor does not own the car, she has not committed a tort.D. Eleanor may be held liable under a tort because the owner can no longer use the car.
Answer: D. Eleanor may be held liable under a tort because the owner can no longer use the car.
Explanation:
A tort can be defined as the wrong in terms of civil, which causes the claimant or owner to suffer from loss or harm. This can lead to legal liability for the person responsible for committing the tort.
According to doctrine of tort Eleanor had burrowed the car without owners permission. This is unlawful because nobody can take any object or entity in possession of other person without permission. The car was in good condition but while riding on rocky terrain the tire got flat. Thus Eleanor is responsible for this tort and is liable to replace the tire. As the owner is not able to reuse the car in this condition.

Basing point pricing is a system used to establish prices in which the business charges a fixed amount for the product and an additional charge for the shipping that is determined according to the customer's distance from a certain place that is called the basing point. According to this, the answer is that Motorzone most likely practices basing-point pricing because they establish the shipping charges based on a pre-determined location even though some products are not in this place.
If the tax elasticity of labor supply is 0.16, by what percentage will the quantity of labor supplied increase in response to Instructions: In part b, enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place. a. A $500 per person income tax rebate check? A 4.5% increase A 2% increase A 1.5% increase No increase b. A reduction of 5 percent in marginal tax rates?
Answer:
If every work receives a tax rebate of $500 per person income tax the quantity of labor supplied will not increase because the rebate is a temporary
A 4.5% increase in marginal tax = 0.16 * 4.5 = 0.72 = 0.7 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
A 2% increase in marginal tax
= 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 = 0.3 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
A 15% increase
= 0.16 * 15 = 2.4 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
No increase = 0.16 = 0.16 ( quantity of labor supplied remains unchanged )
A reduction of 5%
= 0.16 * 5 = 0.8 ( increase in quantity of labor )
Explanation:
Tax elasticity of labor supply = 0.16
What percentage will the quantity of labor supplied increase in response to
A) $500 per person income tax rebate
percentage change in quantity supplied = (tax elasticity of supply) * (percentage change in tax rate ) If every work receives a tax rebate of $500 per person income tax the quantity of labor supplied will not increase because the rebate is a temporary measure and does not have an effect the tax rate in the long run.
B) A 4.5% increase in marginal tax
change in the quantity of labor = tax elasticity * increase marginal tax
0.16 * 4.5 = 0.72 = 0.7 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
A 2% increase in marginal tax
= 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 = 0.3 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
A 15% increase
= 0.16 * 15 = 2.4 ( decrease in quantity of labor )
No increase = 0.16 = 0.16 ( quantity of labor supplied remains unchanged )
A reduction of 5%
= 0.16 * 5 = 0.8 ( increase in quantity of labor )
1) Using the average cost method, compute the equivalent units of production in each of the following cases:
A) Units started in production during the month, 72,000; units completed and transferred, 52,800; and units in process at the end of the month (100% complete as to materials; 60% complete as to conversion), 19,200. (There was no beginning inventory.
B) Units in process at the beginning of the month (100% complete as to materials; 30% complete as to conversion), 12,000; units started during the month, 48,000; and units in process at the end of the month (100% complete as to materials; 40% complete as to conversion), 24,000.
2) In Department D, materials are added uniformly throughout processing. The beginning inventory was considered 80% complete, as was the ending inventory. Assume that there were 6,000 units in the beginning inventory and 20,000 in the ending inventory, and that 80,000 units were completed and transferred out of Department D. What are the equivalent units for the period using the average cost method?
3) If in question 2 the total costs charged to the department amounted to $960,000, including the $48,000 cost of the beginning inventory, what is the cost of the units completed and transferred out?
Answer:
1. the equivalent units of production
A. Materials = 72,000 units Conversion = 64,320 units
B. Materials = 60,000 units Conversion = 45,600 units
2. Materials = 45,600 units
3. $ 1,684,000
Explanation:
1. the equivalent units of production
The Concept of Equivalent Units of Production Measures the number of units completed to the extend of inputs introduced in the process
A.
Materials
units completed and transferred (52,800×100%) = 52,800
units in Ending Work In Process (19,200 × 100%) = 19,200
Total equivalent units of production = 72,000
Conversion
units completed and transferred (52,800×100%) = 52,800
units in Ending Work In Process (19,200 × 60%) = 11,520
Total equivalent units of production = 64,320
B.
First Determine the number of units completed and transferred.
units completed and transferred = 12,000 + 48,000 - 24,000
= 36,000
Materials
units completed and transferred (36,000×100%) = 36,000
units in Ending Work In Process (24,000 × 100%) = 24,000
Total equivalent units of production = 60,000
Conversion
units completed and transferred (36,000×100%) = 36,000
units in Ending Work In Process (24,000 × 40%) = 9,600
Total equivalent units of production = 45,600
2. the equivalent units of production
Materials
units completed and transferred (80,000×100%) = 80,000
units in Ending Work In Process (20,000 × 80%) = 16,000
Total equivalent units of production = 45,600
3. the cost of the units completed
First Calculate the cost per equivalent of production
cost per equivalent = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units
= $960,000 / 45,600
= $21.05
Then , calculate the cost of the units completed and transferred out
cost of the units completed and transferred = $21.05 × 80,000
= $ 1,684,000
Kanye Company is evaluating the purchase of a rebuilt spot-welding machine to be used in the manufacture of a new product. The machine will cost $176,000, has an estimated useful life of 7 years, a salvage value of zero, and will increase net annual cash flows by $35,000.
What is its approximate internal rate of return?
Answer:
i think the answer218
Explanation:
if you add 176.000+35.000=211+7=218 you get the right answer
The approximate internal rate of return is 176.000+35.000=211+7=218. From calculating the cost and salvage value we get the internal rate of return.
What is internal rate of return?In financial analysis, the internal rate of return (IRR) is a statistic used to calculate the profitability of possible investments. IRR is a discount rate that, in a discounted cash flow analysis, reduces all cash flows' net present values (NPV) to zero. The same formula is used for NPV calculations and IRR calculations.
A useful tool for comparing investments is the internal rate of return (IRR), which is the interest rate at which the sum of all cash flows equals zero. If we substitute 13.92% for the 8% in the aforementioned case, NPV will be zero, and that represents your IRR. IRR is therefore defined as the discount rate at which a project's NPV equals zero.
IRR can be used to rank a variety of potential investments or projects on a pretty even basis because it is consistent for investments of all types. Generally speaking, the investment with the highest IRR would be regarded as the best when comparing options with other similar attributes.

Bob's lawn-mowing service is a profit-maximizing, competitive firm. Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $250, of which $50 is a fixed cost. He mows 5 lawns a day. In the short run, Bob should_________ . In the long run, Bob should___________ the industry.
Answer:
In this case, the unitary variable cost is higher than the selling price. In the short run, Bob should leave the industry.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Earning a day= 30*5= $150
Unitary variable cost= (250 - 50)/5= $40
Fixed costs= $50
The general rule is that if the selling price is higher than the unitary variable cost, in the short run the company should continue operations. If this situation continues, in the long run, the company should stop operations.
In this case, the unitary variable cost is higher than the selling price. In the short run, Bob should leave the industry.
