Ten cavemen with a remaining average life expectancy of 10 years use a path from their cave to a spring some distance away. The path is not easily traveled due to 100 large stones that could be removed. The annual benefit to each individual if the stones were removed is $8.25. Each stone can be removed at a cost of $2.50. The interest rate is 2 %.

Required:
a. Compute the benefit/cost ratio for the individual if he alone removed the 100 stones.
b. Compute the benefit/cost ratio for the individual if the task was undertaken collectively, with each individual removing 10 stones.
c. What maximum amount may be charged by a manager who organizes the group effort if the minimum acceptable benefit/cost ratio is 2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. B/C Ratio = 0.296  

b. B/C Ratio = 2.964

c. Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.

   Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Number of Individuals = 10

Number of Stones = 100

Life Expectancy = 10 Years

Annual benefit = 8.25 USD

Stone Removal Cost = 2.50 USD

Interest Rate = 2%

a. If all the stones are removed by one individual:

Cost = 100 stones x Stone Removal Cost

Cost = 100 x 2.50 = 250 USD

Now, we have to calculate the Benefit/Cost Ratio for this individual by using the following formula:

B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}[/tex]

Where,

AB = Annual Benefit = 8.25 USD

(P/A, 2%, 10) = 8.983     (From the compound interest table)

Cost = 250 USD

B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{250}[/tex]

B/C Ratio = 0.296

b. Each individual removing 10 stones.

Number of individuals = 10

So, the cost of removing the stones will be:

Cost = 10 x 2.50 = 25 USD

So,

B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost}[/tex]  

B/C Ratio = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25}[/tex]

 B/C Ratio = 2.964

c.

In this part, we are already given the B/C ratio, now we need to calculate the maximum amount charged by the manager for the help.

B/C ratio = 2

Let, Y be the amount of the manager. So,

B/C Ratio =  [tex]\frac{AB (P/A, 2, 10)}{Cost + Y}[/tex]  

Plugging in the values and solving for Y:

2 = [tex]\frac{8.25 * 8.983}{25 + Y}[/tex]

50 + 2Y = 8.25 x 8.983

2Y = 74.109 - 50

2Y = 24.109  

Y = 24.109/2

Y = 12.05 USD will be the maximum amount charged by the manager.

Y = 12.05 x 10 = 120.54 USD for the whole group of 10

Answer:

NPV= -$32.58

Explanation:

The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:

Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30

Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)=  18%

The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost

 =  A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r  - initial cost

A- 15, r-18%

NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58

NPV = -$32.58

Explanation:

This is the remaining part of the question :

Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods

1. Straight-line.

2.Double Declining Method

3.Activity Based

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

(43,000 - 4000) / 10 = $3900

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2

Depreciation expense = 0.2 x $43,000 = $8600

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(1200 / 13,000) x (43,000 - 4000) = $3600

How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 9 percent?

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $11.968577  rounded off to $11.97

Explanation:

The dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under DDM is,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  Dn / (1+r)^n  +  [(Dn * (1+g) / (r - g)) / (1+r)^n]

Where,

D1, D2, ... , Dn is the dividend expected in Year 1,2 and so on g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return

P0 = 0.37 / (1+0.09)  +  0.42 / (1+0.09)^2  +  0.57 / (1+0.09)^3  +  

0.87 / (1+0.09)^4  +  [(0.87 * (1+0.028) / (0.09 - 0.028)) / (1+0.09)^4]

P0 = $11.968577  rounded off to $11.97

On January 1, 2000, there were 175,000 tons of trash in a landfill that had a capacity of 325,000 tons. Each year since then, the amount of trash in the landfill increases by 7.500 tons. If y represents the time, in years, after January 1, 2000.

Required:
What inequalities describes the set of years where the landfill is at or above capacity?

Answers

Answer: 175,000 + 7,500y ≥ 325,000

Explanation:

On January 1, 2000, there are 175,000 tons of trash in the landfill.

This increases by 7,500 tons every year with y representing the number of years.

This means that in a given year, the amount of trash in the landfill is:

= 175,000 + 7,500y

The capacity is 325,000 tons. In years where the landfill will be at or above capacity, the result of the formula above will be greater than 325,000 tons.

The relevant inequality therefore is:

175,000 + 7,500y ≥ 325,000

February = $67,535

March = $40,000

Also, Loan Balance End of Month as follows:

January = $26,500

February = $0

March = $38,465

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the cash budget.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations are made:

January loan repayment = January Preliminary cash - January Interest expense - Minimum required cash balance = $94,300 - $800 - $40,000 = $53,500

February Loan repayment = January Loan Balance End of the Month = $26,500

March Additional Loan = Minimum required cash balance - March Preliminary cash balance = $40,000 - $1,535 = $38,465

From the attached excel file, we have Ending Cash Balance as follows:

January = $40,000

February = $67,535

March = $40,000

And also, Loan Balance End of Month as follows:

January = $26,500

February = $0

The income tax rate is 25% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future. Required: 1. What is the balance sheet account that gives rise to a temporary difference in this situation

Answers

Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.

Explanation:

Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.

In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.

The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.

How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today

Answers

Answer:

$693.16

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today

Using this formula

FV= Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

Let plug in the formula

First step

$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.112)^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.112^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.97522975235

PV= $7,043.618

Second step

$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.104)^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.104^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.61907808993

PV= $7,736.777

Now let calculate how much less than your brother will you have to deposit today

Deposit today= $7,736.777-$7,043.618

Deposit today= $693.159

Deposit today=$693.16 (Approximately)

Therefore How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today will be $693.16

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is $7,000 favorable.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Standard hours for actual units produced = Actual units produced * Estimated number of hours to manufacture a completed unit = 9,000 * 2 = 18,000

Variable-overhead efficiency variance = (Actual machine hours worked - Standard machine hours for actual units produced) * Standard variable overhead cost per machine hour = (16,000 - 18,000) * 3.50 = –$7,000

Since the calculated Variable-overhead efficiency variance is negative, that implies that it is favorable,

Therefore, the correct option is $7,000 favorable.

c. How much would income from operations increase if same-store sales increased by $500 million for the coming year, with no change in the contribution margin ratio or fixed costs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a million (one decimal place).

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Variable food and packaging = $6,129.7

Variable payroll = $4,756.0

Variable general, selling and administrative expenses = 40% × $2,487.9 = $995.16

Fixed general, selling and administrative expenses = 60% × $2,487.9 = $1,492.74

Fixed occupancy = $4,402.6

Total fixed cost = $1,492.84 + $4,402.6 = $5,895.34

Total variable cost = Variable food and packaging + Variable payroll + Variable general, selling and administrative expenses

= $6,129.7 + $4,756 + $995.16

= $11,880.86

a. McDonald's contribution margin

= Sales - Variable cost

= $18,169.3 - $11,880.86

= $6,288.44

b. McDonald's contribution margin

= Contribution margin / Sales

= $6,288.44 / $18,169.3

= 34.61%

The accounting records, which were located in a fireproof vault, contained the following information: Sales (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)$240,000 Purchases (1/1/16 through 7/3/16)180,000 Inventory (1/1/16)45,000 Gross profit ratio25% of cost Using the gross profit method, what is the estimated cost of the inventory that was destroyed by the fire

Answers

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, the estimated cost of inventory that was destroyed by fire is computed as

= [Sales - (Purchases + Inventory)]

Given that;

Sales 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $240,000

Purchases 1/1/16 through 7/3/16 = $180,000

Inventory 1/1/16 = $45,000

= [$240,000 - ($180,000 + $45,000)]

= $240,000 - $225,000

= $15,000

On January 1, Alan King decided to deposit $58,800 in a savings account that will provide funds four years later to send his son to college. The savings account will earn 8% annually. Any interest earned will be added to the fund at year-end (rather than withdrawn). (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required:

Answers

Answer:

FV= $79,996.75

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $58,800

Interest rate (i)= 8% compounded annually

Number of periods (n)= 4 years

To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 58,800*(1.08^4)

FV= $79,996.75
