A company purchased a weaving machine for $273,400. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $15,000. It is estimated that the machine could produce 760,000 bolts of woven fabric over its useful life. In the first year, 110,000 bolts were produced. In the second year, production increased to 114,000 units. Using the units-of-production method, what is the amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $38,760
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(273,400 - 15,000)/760,000]*114,000
Annual depreciation= $38,760

On January 1, 2020, Novak Corp. had inventory of $56,500. At December 31, 2020, Novak had the following account balances.
Freight-in $4,800
Purchases 509500
Purchase discounts 8000
Purchase returns and allowances 2700
Sales revenue 807000
Sales discounts 6000
Sales returns and allowances 10,900
At December 31, 2020, Novak determines that its ending inventory is $66,500.
Required:
Compute Novak's 2020 gross profit.
Compute Novak's 2020 operating expenses if net income is $143,000 and thre are no nonoperating activities.
Answer:
Gross Profit ⇒ $296,500Operating expenses ⇒ $153,500Explanation:
Gross Profit;
= Net sales - Cost of Goods sold
Net sales = Sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns and allowances
= 807,000 - 6,000 - 10,900
= $790,100
Cost of Goods sold
= Opening balance + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances -closing balance
= 56,500 + 509,500 + 4,800 - 8,000 - 2,700 - 66,500
= $493,600
Gross Profit = 790,100 - 493,600
= $296,500
Operating Expense
Net Income = Gross profit - operating expenses
143,000 = 296,500 - operating expenses
Operating expenses = 296,500 - 143,000
= $153,500
Present owners of a network good receivegreater benefits as new buyers purchase the good. How do network externalities help a monopoly retain its market power? By exploiting network externalities, a firm can become a natural monopoly. If there are strong network externalities associated with a good, other goods are poor substitutes for it. Goods with network externalities are more likely to receive a government patent.
Answer:
How network externalities help a monopoly retain its market power:
By exploiting network externalities, a firm can become a natural monopoly.
Explanation:
In economics, Network externality describes a situation whereby the demand for a product depends on the demand of other consumers buying that product. This implies that the value of the product to the consumer is increased because others are joining as buyers. The present owners of a network product will actually gain more benefits as new buyers purchase the good because the fixed costs of rendering the service or providing the good are not increased with increasing buyers, but remain the same over a relevant range.

Target common equity weight: 80 percent
Target debt weight: 20 percent
Cost of equity: 15 percent
Cost of debt: 5 percent
Tax rate: 35 percent
A) WACC = 12.65 percent
B) WACC = 8.45 percent
C) WACC = 13.00 percent

Hence, the correct option is c.
Therefore all the other options are incorrect
Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.
Answer:
TrueTrueExplanation:
The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.
As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.

Purchases = Cost of Goods sold - Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory
Placing value of Jan Year 2
Purchases = $60,000 - $20,400 + $27,200 = $66,800
Placing value of Feb Year 2
Purchases = $80,000 - $27,200 + $17,000 = $69,800
On January 1, Year 1, Lowing Company acquired a patent from Generics Research Corporation for $3 million. The legal life of the patent is 20 years, but Lowing expects to use it for 5 years. Pawson Company has committed to purchase the patent from Lowing for $500,000 at the end of that 5-year period. Lowing uses the straight-line method to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives. What is the amount of amortization expense each year
Answer:
patent amortization expense per year = $500,000 per year
Explanation:
patent amortization expense per year = depreciable value / useful life of the intangible asset
depreciable value = purchase cost - salvage value = $3,000,000 - $500,000 = $2,500,000useful life of the patent = 5 years (the legal life is different than the useful life)patent amortization expense per year = $2,500,000 / 5 years = $500,000 per year
Analysts look for red flags in financial statements that may signal financial trouble. Which of the following is a red flag that suggests that a company may be in trouble? A. a consistent movement in sales, merchandise inventory, and accounts receivable B. operating activities are a major source of cash flows C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row D. a reduction in the debt ratio
Answer:
C. a significant decrease in net income for several years in a row
Explanation:
A significant decrease in net income for several years in a row show that the firm is generating less revenue or its expenses are generally increasing at a rate greater than the sales. This may soon lead into a loss. A loss making firm will eventually have challenges in cashflow. So, this signals financial trouble.

You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual return of 9.7 percent
Answer:
the amount that saved each month is $173.21
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that saved each month is as follows:
Here we use the PMT formula
Given that
NPER = 40 × 12 = 480
PMT = 9.7% ÷ 12 = 0.81%
PV = $0
FV = $1,000,000
The formula is shown below:
= PMT(RATE;NPER;PV;-FV;TYPE)
The future value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the pmt is $173.21
Hence, the amount that saved each month is $173.21

QS 23-11 Selection of sales mix LO P3 Excel Memory Company can sell all units of computer memory X and Y that it can produce, but it has limited production capacity. It can produce two units of X per hour or three units of Y per hour, and it has 4,700 production hours available. Contribution margin is $6 for product X and $5 for product Y. 1. Calculate contribution margin per production hour. 2. What is the most profitable sales mix for this Company
Answer:
Contribution margin per production hour
Product X = $12
Product Y = $15
Explanation:
Part 1
Contribution margin per production hour
Contribution margin per production hour = Contribution ÷ Time to produce one product
Therefore,
Product X = $6 ÷ 0.5
= $12
Product Y = $5 ÷ 0.33
= $15
Part 2
The Demand Units of Product X and Product Y are missing so the calculation of profitable sales mix is impossible.
This mix would have been calculated by :
Manufacturing all the units of Product Y since Y has the highest contribution margin per production hour (demand for Y × hours required per unit)With the remainder of hours out of 4,700 after producing all of Product Y demand, we would then produce Product X.

Diamond and Turf Inc. is considering an investment in one of two machines. The sewing machine will increase productivity from sewing 130 baseballs per hour to sewing 234 per hour. The contribution margin per unit is $0.48 per baseball. Assume that any increased production of baseballs can be sold. The second machine is an automatic packing machine for the golf ball line. The packing machine will reduce packing labor cost. The labor cost saved is equivalent to $26 per hour. The sewing machine will cost $305,500, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,400 hours per year. The packing machine will cost $131,800, have an eight-year life, and will operate for 1,200 hours per year.

If Diamond and Turf has sufficient funds for only one of the machines and qualitative factors are equal between the two machines, in which machine should it invest?
Answer:
A) Sewing machine:
initial outlay = -$305,500
net cash flow per year = (234 baseballs per hour - 130 baseballs per hour) x 1,400 hours x $0.48 per baseball = $69,888
NPV = -$305,500 + ($69,888 x 4.968) = -$305,500 + $347,203.58 = $41,703.58
Packing machine:
initial outlay = -$131,800
net cash flow per year = 1,200 hours x $26 per hour = $31,200
NPV = -$131,800 + ($31,200 x 4.968) = -$131,800 + $155,001.60 = $23,201.60
B) PVI of sewing machine = $347,203.58 / $305,500 = 1.137
PVI of packing machine = $155,001.60 / $131,800 = 1.176
C) They should invest in the packing machine since its PVI is higher, meaning that it increases the company's value by a higher amount per dollar invested.
