Answer:
$117,347.69
Explanation:
Assuming that Diana made only one $3,000 investment, in 30 years she will have:
future value = present value x (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
present value = $3,000interest rate = 13%n = 30 yearsfuture value = $3,000 x (1 + 0.13)³⁰ = $3,000 x 39.116 = $117,347.69
Ernesto owns a house painting company. Total sales for the past year were $75,000. His bills for running the business were $30,000. Stan, who owns a furniture-making company, previously asked Ernesto to come work for him at a salary of $40,000. Ernesto's accounting profit is______ and his economic profit is ________$
Answer:
Accounting profit = $45,000
Economic profit = $5,000
Explanation:
The computation of accounting profit and economic profit is shown below:-
Accounting profit = Sales - External expenses
= $75,000 - $30,000
= $45,000
Economic profit = Accounting profit - Implicit cost
= $45,000 - $40,000
= $5,000
Therefore for computing the accounting profit and economic profit we simply applied the above formula so that each one could arrive
Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000

1. Because of sanctions over their involvement in Ukraine in 2014, the Bank of Russia has raised its benchmark interest rate from 8% to 9.5%. What affect does this have on the exchange rate for the Russian Rubble versus the Euro
Answer:
This would make the rubble more attractive than the euro when investing.
Explanation: The effects of this increase in interest rate, is it would make it more expensive when planning on borrowing money in Russia. Which would make the rubble more attractive than the euro from an investors or investment part, as more money can be made when euro is converted back to rubble. This would help drive up the cost of rubble.
A retail dealer in garments is currently selling 24,000 shirts annually. He supplies the following details for the year ended 31st March 2007. Selling price per shirt: P800 Variable cost per shirt: P600 Fixed Cost: Staff salaries: P2 400 000 General Office Cost: P800, 000 Advertising Cost: P800, 000 REQUIRED: a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold. b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage . c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm. d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales? e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
Answer:
a) Calculate Break-even Point in sales revenue and number of shirts sold.
20,000 shirts $16,000,000b) What is the margin of safety of the dealer expressed as a percentage .
16.67%c) Assume that 30, 000 shirts were sold during the year, find out the net profit of the firm.
$2,000,000d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?
15,625 shirts $14,375,000e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
47,322 shirts$43,536,240Explanation:
selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000
variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000
total fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $800,000
contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200
break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%
if 30,000 shirts were sold:
contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000
fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $2,000,000
if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320
fixed costs increase to $5,000,000
break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000
fixed costs increase to %6,000,000
targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857
sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts

To record depreciation charge for the period.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are prepared at the end of an accounting period to being the accounts to the accrual basis from the state of the cash basis. The purpose is to reflect on transactions that took place instead of emphasizing the receipt and payment of cash. These entries, therefore, agree with the accrual concept which requires that transactions be recognized based on the period to which the expense or revenue is incurred or earned instead of when cash payment or receipt takes place.
Super Carpeting Inc. just paid a dividend of $2.64 and its dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.50% per year. If the required return on Super's stock is 13.75% what is the intristic value of Super's shares?
A- $48.00 per share
B- $32.00 per share
C- $33.76 per share
D- $38.40 per share
Which of the following statements is true about the constant growth model?
A- the constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rate is more than its required return
B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
Use the constant growth model to calculate the appropriate values to complete the following statements about Super Carpeting Inc.
If Super stock is equilibrium, the current expected dividend yield on the stock will be ______ per share
Super's expected stock price one year from today will be ____ per share
If Super's stock is in equilibrium, the current expected capital gains yield on Supers stock will be _____
Answer:
1. C. $33.76 per share
2. B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
3. 8.25% ; $35.62 ; 5.5%
Explanation:
1. Using the Constant Growth Model to calculate the intrinsic value would be best given the above values.
The formula is;
Value = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth rate)
Value = (2.64 * ( 1 + 5.5%)) / ( 13.75% - 5.5%)
Value = 2.7852/8.25%
Value = $33.76
2. Going by the formula, if the expected growth rate is more than the required return, the intrinsic value would be a negative number and a stock's price cannot go below 0. The growth rate has to be less than the required return for this to work.
3. At Equilibrium, the stock dividend is growing as it should.
Dividend Yield should therefore be;
= Next Dividend / Stock Value * 100
= (2.7852 / 33.76) * 100
= 8.25%
Stock Price should grow at the growth rate so;
= 33.76 * ( 1 + 0.055)
= $35.62
Gains yield refers to what rate the stock will change in value. Growth rate is 5.5% so that will be the answer.
What is one of the main reasons why the need for effective communication on teams has been growing so much in the last few decades?

Ratio analysis A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.There are several groups of ratios most decision makers and analysts use to examine different aspects of a company's performance. Based on the descriptions of ratios listed, identify the relevant category of ratios.Ratios that help determine whether a company can access its cash and pay its short-term obligations are called______ratios.Ratios that help determine the efficiency with which a company manages its day-to-day tasks and assets are called______ratios.Ratios that help assess a company's ability to service the interest and repayment obligations on its long-term debt and the degree to which it uses borrowed versus invested financial capital are called______ratios. _______ratios help measure a company's ability to generate income and profits based on its invested capital.______ratios examine the market value of a company's share price, its profits and cash dividends, and the book value of the firm's assets and relate them to other data items to determine how the firm is perceived in the stock market. Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry. However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses. Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? A. Seasonal factors can distort data B. Window dressing might be in effect. C. Market data is not sufficiently considered.
Answer: 1. a. Liquidity Ratios
b. Activity Ratios
c. Financial Ratios
d. Profitability Ratios
e. Market Value Ratios
2. A. Seasonal factors can distort data
B. Window dressing might be in effect.
Explanation:
a. Liquidity Ratios give the company an idea of it's ability to access hard currency. Examples include the Current ratio and the Quick ratio.
b. Activity Ratios allows stakeholders know how efficient the company is at running daily operations. Examples include; Receivables Turnover and Asset Turnover ratios.
c. Financial Ratios are very important to the company as they can decide if a company will be able to get loans. They include ratios that measure the firm's ability to pay off debt as well as the overall condition of the firm in terms of it's finances.
Examples include; Net Profit Margin and Debt to Asset ratio.
d. Profitability Ratios
These help ascertain the ability of the business to make returns based on its resources. Examples include Return on Assets and Return on Equity.
e. Market Value Ratio
These essentially help the company and other stake holders know what the company is worth in the market. An example is the Book Value per Share ratio.
2. Seasonal Factors may indeed distort data depending on the type of industry that the firm is into and ratios will usually not show this. For instance, an Ice Cream company will not have strong sales in winter so when interpreting ratio analysis it would be important to note that this could happen.
Another weakness is that ratios are calculated based on the figures that are given by a company. These figures may not truly reflect the actual situation of the company when management supply more optimistic figures than is true. This is called Window Dressing.
It will have the effect of distorting the ratios so that they do not represent a true representation of the actual situation of the company.

In what ways could prisoners of war earn a profit? What would motivate a prisoner to want profit?In what ways could prisoners of war earn a profit? What would motivate a prisoner to want profit?
Answer:
By working to produce goods for manufacturing companies
By working on prison farms.
Other ways may also include working in construction projects in or outside the prison yard.
Explanation:
In this modern day, prisoners of war are sometimes employed to manufacture good while in prison. They are usually utilized as a cheap labor source in which they are paid less than the normal wage of freemen. Some of the manufacturing jobs done are usually contracted to the prison by outside manufacturing firms, or sometimes by the prison itself; in order to generate additional income. These works keep the prisoners busy and also earn them profit.
In some cases, some of the prisoners are are made to work on the prison farm. The prisoners are paid minimal wages for their services. This types of jobs keep the prisoners occupied and fit and helps feed the prisoners too. The excess income generated fro the sales of the farm products can be used to pay the prisoners. Also, prisoners can participate in construction projects in and outside the prison yard.
One of the biggest motivator for prisoners wanting profit is the fact that they have hope that they will be out some day. This profit is needed as a boost for these prisoners when they come out, prior to being employed. Also, some of these prisoners sometimes need this profit to provide themselves with some necessary stuffs not provided by the prison system.
Samtech Manufacturing purchased land and building for $4 million. In addition to the purchase price, Samtech made the following expenditures in connection with the purchase of the land and building: Title insurance $ 34,000 Legal fees for drawing the contract 9,000 Pro-rated property taxes for the period after acquisition 54,000 State transfer fees 5,800 An independent appraisal estimated the fair values of the land and building, if purchased separately, at $3.5 and $1.5 million, respectively. Shortly after acquisition, Samtech spent $100,000 to construct a parking lot and $58,000 for landscaping. Required: 1. Determine the initial valuation of each asset Samtech acquired in these transactions. 2. Determine the initial valuation of each asset, assuming that immediately after acquisition, Samtech demolished the building. Demolition costs were $430,000 and the salvaged materials were sold for $6,500. In addition, Samtech spent $97,000 clearing and grading the land in preparation for the construction of a new building.
Answer:
1)
total price $4,000,000
if purchased separately, land was worth $3,500,000 and building $1,500,000.
cost of land:
70% x $4,000,000 purchase cost = $2,800,000
70% x $34,000 title insurance = $23,800
70% x $9,000 legal fees = $6,300
70% x $5,800 state transfer fees = $4,060
total cost of land = $2,834,160
cost of building:
30% x $4,000,000 purchase cost = $1,200,000
30% x $34,000 title insurance = $10,200
30% x $9,000 legal fees = $2,700
30% x $5,800 state transfer fees = $1,740
total cost of land = $1,214,640
Property taxes for the period after acquisition are expenses and cannot be capitalized. Landscaping and parking lots are reported separately because they have different useful lives than the building.
2)
cost of land:
$4,000,000 purchase cost
$34,000 title insurance
$9,000 legal fees
$5,800 state transfer fees
$430,000 demolition costs
- $6,500 sale of salvaged value
$97,000 land grading
total cost of land = $4,569,300
cost of building = $0
Property taxes for the period after acquisition are expenses and cannot be capitalized. Landscaping and parking lots are reported separately because they have different useful lives than the building.
Suppose you work as a manager in a firm. Your job is to hire the right number of people to maximize profit. Every worker you hire costs $150 per day, and each unit of output sells for $18 per unit. Given your current labor force, you know that if you hire another worker, that person will increase your output by 32.
1. What is the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring?
2 What is the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee?
3. What is the marginal profnt or loss for hiring this employee? (Use a negative number if hiring this person results in a net loss
4. Should this additional worker be hired?
Answer: 1. 32
2. $576
3. $426
4. Yes
Explanation:
1. What is the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring?
From the question, we are informed that given current labor force, hiring another worker will increase the output by 32. This means that the marginal product of the worker you are considering hiring is 32.
2 What is the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee?
The value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee will be the product of the price of each unit of output sale and the marginal product of the employee. This will be:
= $18 × 32
= $576
3. What is the marginal profit or loss for hiring this employee?
The marginal profit or loss will be the difference between the value of the marginal product of labor for this potential employee and the hiring cost per day for every worker. This will be:
= $576 - $150
= $426
There is a marginal profit of $426.
4. Should this additional worker be hired?
Yes, the additional worker should be hired because there is a positive marginal profit.
Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Accounts payable are: Multiple Choice Long-term liabilities. Estimated liabilities. Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit. Always payable within 30 days. Not usually due on specific dates.
Answer: Amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit.
Explanation: Account payable as a liability arises on account of credit purchases and therefore, are amounts owed to suppliers for products and/or services purchased on credit. While accounts payable can be either a short-term or a long-term liability based on the duration available to pay the same, they are typically paid within thirty or sixty days which makes them current liabilities. However, the duration of credit that is available to companies making such purchases are based on both the credibility of such companies, the history of past purchases and how timely they repay their debts.
Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment
Answer: $18,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Carmel Corporation is considering buying a machine that cost $36,000 with a 6-year useful life and no salvage value and the straight-line depreciation was used on the assumption that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year.
Accounting rate of return will be the average profit divided by the average investment
The average investment is made of up of the cost of the asset, its salvage value and working capital. Average investment will be the machines and cost divided by 2.
= $36000/2
= $18000.
The average investment is $18,000

Let the planes be tagged as seen below:
Airbus = x, Boeing = y, Lockheed = z
From the cost of the planes, we have:
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900 ---Eqn 1
From the number of passenger seats, we have:
320 x + 250 y + 275 z = 4480 ---Eqn 2
Twice as many Lockheed airplanes as Airbus planes
⇒ 2z = x ---Eqn 3
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 1, we have:
200 (2z) + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 400 z + 200 z = 2900
125 y + 600 z = 2900 ---Eqn 4
Substitute x = 2z into Eqn 2, we have:
320 (2z) + 250 y + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 640 z + 275 z = 4480
250 y + 915 z = 4480 ---Eqn 5
Multiply Eqn 4 by 2
125 y * 2 + 600 z * 2 = 2900 * 2
⇒ 250 y + 1200 z = 5800 ---Eqn 6
(250 y + 915 z = 4480) ---Eqn 5
Subtracting Eqn 5 from Eqn 6, we have:
250 y - 250 y + 1200 z - 915 z = 5800 - 4480
285 z = 1320
z = 4.6
Substitute z to Eqn 3, x = 2z
⇒ x = 2 * 4.6 = 9.2
x = 9.2
Substitute x & z into Eqn 1
200 x + 125 y + 200 z = 2900
200 * 9.2 + 125 y + 200 * 4.6 = 2900
125 y = 2900 - (1840 + 920)
125 y = 140
y = 1.1
Since it is airplanes that are to be bought, the value of x, y & z must be integers (you cannot buy 4.6 airplanes). As such, we will round down values of airplanes to be bought sodo that we will not exceed the budget.
x = 9, y = 1, z = 4
∴That implies that I will buy 9 Airbus planes, 1 Boeing plane & 4 Lockheed airplanes
Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about purchasing his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000. This includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. If Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000, what would Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC
Answer: $12,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about buying his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000 which includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. We are further told that Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000.
Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC will be the amount that he paid for Bob's LLC interest plus the share of LLC’s debt. This will be:
= $11,000 + $1,900
= $12,900
Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.
Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be m, able to recover its initial investment from Project Alpha's expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Cold Goose's CFO has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received even throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Cold Goose's CFO He has now asked you to compute Alpha's discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 9% cost of capital. Complete the following table and perform any necessary calculations. Round the discounted cash flow values to the nearest whole dollar, and the discounted payback period to the nearest two decimal places. For full credit, complete the entire table. Which version of a project's payback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Alpha, given its theoretical superiority? a) The discounted payback period b) The regular payback period One theoretical disadvantage of both payback methods-compared to the net present value method s that they fail to consider the value of the cash flows beyond the point in time equal to the payback period. How much value does the discounted payback period method fail to recognize due to this theoretical deficiency? a) $3, 504, 802 b) $1, 939, 656 c) $1 486, 453 d) $5, 421, 307
Answer:
the answer is $3,504,802.
To calculate return on assets (ROA), the numerator will include which of the following? a. net income plus tax expense b. net income plus interest expense c. net income minus preferred dividends d. net income
Answer:
d. net income
Explanation:
The formula to compute the return on assets is as follows
Return on assets = Net income ÷ Total assets
Or
Return on assets = Net income ÷ Average of total assets
As the case maybe
By dividing the net income from the total assets or average of total assets we can get the return on assets and the same is to be considered
hence, the correct option is d. net income
In general, the better candidates for shortening are: Early tasks opposed to later tasks. Later tasks opposed to early tasks. Burst tasks opposed to merge tasks. Merge tasks opposed to burst tasks.
Answer:
Early tasks opposed to later tasks.
Explanation:
Shortening is a strategic procedure used by project managers to reduce or shorten a project's duration by cutting the duration of critical path tasks.
The rationale behind shortening of a project is basically to have a competitive advantage or edge in the market. In order to compete successfully, project managers are always expected to be spontaneous in bringing their company's goods and services to the market in a flash.
There are two important ways of shortening a particular project, these are;
1. Crashing.
2. Task splitting.
In project management, the longest task is considered to be the most effective and efficient candidate activities to shorten a project's duration.
In general, the better candidates for shortening are early tasks opposed to later tasks. The early start of tasks represents one of the primary date used in project scheduling and it's the earliest date a project manager commences an activity, with respect to all its predecessors and successors.
Early tasks usually involves the use of an easy approach to project kickoff while later tasks uses the difficult approach.

On January 2, 2021, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $50,125. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6800
Installation charges 10,000
Jackson's policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment's life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment's life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset's eight-year life.
Answer:
Jackson Company
Calculation of the Depreciation for each year:
a) Using the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation:
1st year, the depreciation charge = $59,200 ($236,800 x 25%)
2nd year, the depreciation charge = $44,400 ($236,800 - 59,200) x 25%
3rd year, the depreciation charge = $33,300 ($236,800 - 103,600) x 25%
4th year, the depreciation charge = $24,975 ($236,800 - 136,900) x 25%
5th year, the usage of straight-line method commences:
Depreciation charge = $58,100/4 = $14,525
6th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
7th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
8th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
Explanation:
a) Asset's recognized cost:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6,800
Installation charges 10,000
Total cost = $236,800
b) Useful life = 8 years, with salvage value of $50,125.
c) Double-declining balance depreciation rate = 25% (100/8 * 2)
d) Accumulated Depreciation at the end of:
1st year = $59,200
2nd year = $103,600 ($59,200 + 44,400)
3rd year = $136,900 ($103,600 + 33,300)
4th year = $128,575 ($136,900 + 24,975)
5th year = $143,100 ($128,575 + 14,525)
6th year = $157,625 ($143,100 + 14,525)
7th year = $172,150 ($157,625 + 14,525)
8th year = $186,675 ($172,150 + 14,525)
e) Book value of asset at the end of the fourth year:
Cost = $236,800
Accumulated depreciation $128,575
Book value = $108,225
Salvage value = $50,125
Straight-line depreciable amount = $58,100
f) The double-declining-balance depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation method that expenses the cost of an asset more rapidly by multiplying the straight-line method's rate by 2 and applying this rate on the reducing balance. On the other hand, the straight-line depreciation method uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life. The double-declining balance method does not take into consideration the salvage value unlike the straight-line depreciation method until towards the end of the useful life of the asset.

Wilturner Company incurs $74,000 of labor related directly to the product in the Assembly Department, $23,000 of labor not directly related to the product but related to the Assembly Department as a whole, and $10,000 of labor for services that help production in both the Assembly and Finishing departments. The journal entries to record the labor would include:
Answer:
Dr Work in Process Inventory 97,000 and Dr Factory Overhead 10,000
Explanation:
Wilturner Company journal entries to record the labor will be to Debit work in process inventory with 97,000 because the company incurs $74,000 of labor which was related directly to the product in the Assembly Department and the $23,000 of labor was not directly related to the product and then Debit Factory Overhead with 10,000.
Dr Work in Process Inventory 97,000
($74,000+$23,000)
Debit Factory Overhead 10,000
A rich aunt has promised you $ 3 comma 000 one year from today. In addition, each year after that, she has promised you a payment (on the anniversary of the last payment) that is 2 % larger than the last payment. She will continue to show this generosity for 20 years, giving a total of 20 payments. If the interest rate is 6 %, what is her promise worth today?
Answer:
PV= $29,454.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $3,000
Number of years= 20
Interest rate= 6%
Growth rate= 2%
To simplify calculations, we will sum the growing rate to the interest rate.
Real interest rate= 8%
To determine the present value, first, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^20)-1]} / 0.08
FV= $137,285.893
Now, the present value:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 137,285.893/1.08^20
PV= $29,454.44
Tom owns a Pizza Restaurant. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $9.22 per slice, $106.00 as monthly rental and $55.00 monthly as insurance. A restaurant sells pizza at a rate of $14.22/slice. How many slices should the restaurant sell in a month to break even?
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 32 slices
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $14.22
Unitary variable cost= $9.22
Fixed costs= 106 + 55= $161
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 161/ (14.22 - 9.22)
Break-even point in units= 32 slices
3. If the average price of an airline ticket on a certain route rises from $200 to $250, the number of tickets sold drop from 800 to 600. Calculate the price elasticity of demand. Is the demand elastic or inelastic?
Answer:
-Price elasticity of demand=0.77
-The demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand is:
Price elasticity of demand=% change in the quantity demanded/% change in the price
To use this formula you have to calculate the % change in the quantity demanded and % change in the price:
% change in the quantity demanded=(Q2-Q1/((Q2+Q1)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(250-200/((250+200)/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/(450/2))*100
% change in the quantity demanded=(50/225)*100
% change in the quantity demanded=22.22%
% change in the price=(P2-P1/((P2+P1)/2))*100
% change in the price=(600-800/((600+800)/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/(1400/2))*100
% change in the price=(-200/700)*100
% change in the price=-28.57%
Now, you can replace the values in the formula to to calculate the price elasticity of demand:
Price elasticity of demand= 22.22%/-28.57%
Price elasticity of demand=0.77
The price elasticity of the demand is 0.77. An elastic demand is when the elasticity is greater than 1 and an inelastic demand is when the elasticity is less than one. So, according to this, the demand is inelastic because the elasticity is 0.77 and this number is less than 1.
