Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an AOC of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an AOC of $120,000, and a $240,000 salvage value after its 5-year life. Assume your boss asked you to determine which method is better, but she wants the analysis done over a 3-year planning period. You estimate the salvage value of method 2 will be 35% higher after 3 years than it is after 5 years. If the MARR is 10% per year, which method should the company select?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

method 1 should be selected.

Explanation:

for method 1:

p = 550000

a = 160000

s = 125000

I = 10%

n = 3 years

aw = -550000(a/p, 0.10,3)-160000+125000(a/f,0.10,3)

= -550000(0.4021)-160000+125000(0.3021)

= -221155-160000+37762.5

= -343.392.5 dollars

for method 2:

salvage value = 240000x1.35

= 324000

p= 830000

a = 120000

s = 324000

I = 0.10 or 10%

n = 3

aw = -830000(a/p,0.10,3)-120000+324000(a/f,10%,3)

= -830000(0.4021)-120000+324000(0.3021)

= -333743-120000+97880.4

= -355862.6 dollars

after comparing both values, method 1 is better

a. $250,800.b. $229,200.c. $236,400.d. $226,200.

Answers

Answer:

b. $229,200

Explanation:

Computation for the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet

First step is to find the credit sales

Credit sales=.75(400,000)

Credit sales=300,000

Second step is to find the 3% of 300,000

3% of 300,000=9,000

Third step is to add credit sales amount to Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

9,000 +1,800

=$10,800

Last step is to find the net realizable value

Net realizable value=Accounts Receivable $240,000-$10,800

Net realizable value=$229,200

Therefore the net realizable value of Barker's accounts receivable in the May 31 balance sheet is $229,200

Even though commercial airlines have excellent safety​ records, in the weeks following a​ crash, airlines often report a drop in the number of​ passengers, probably because people are afraid to risk flying. ​a) A travel agent suggests that since the Law of Averages makes it highly unlikely to have two plane crashes within a few weeks of each​ other, flying soon after a crash is the safest time. What do you​ think? ​b) If the airline industry proudly announces that it has set a new record for the longest period of safe​ flights, would you be reluctant to​ fly? Are the airlines due to have a​ crash?

Answers

Answer:

A) There is no such thing as the "Law of Averages." The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.

Explanation:

This is the complete question below;

Even though commercial airlines have excellent safety​ records, in the weeks following a​ crash, airlines often report a drop in the number of​ passengers, probably because people are afraid to risk flying. A travel agent suggests that since the Law of Averages makes it highly unlikely to have two plane crashes within a few weeks of each​ other, flying soon after a crash is the safest time. What do you​ think?

Choose the correct answer below.

A. There is no such thing as the "Law of Averages." The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.

B. The "Law of Averages" states that outcomes must even out in the short run. This means that the overall probability of an airplane crash is higher due to recent crashes.

C. The "Law of Averages" states that outcomes must even out in the short run. This means that the overall probability of an airplane crash is lower due to recent crashes.

D. The "Law of Averages" does not apply to this situation. The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.

We are informed from the question that commercial airlines have excellent safety​ records, in the weeks following a​ crash, airlines often report a drop in the number of​ passengers, probably because people are afraid to risk flying. A travel agent suggests that since the Law of Averages makes it highly unlikely to have two plane crashes within a few weeks of each​ other, flying soon after a crash is the safest time.

In this case, There is no such thing as the "Law of Averages." The overall probability of an airplane crash does not change due to recent crashes.

There was fact that the commercial airlines has excellent safety​ records in the past and there is a crash after the following week, all these doesn't have any connection with people flying soon after a crash because they think is the safest time.

Airline transportation has its pros and cons. The answers are given below;

My point is that There is nothing like the "Law of Averages." The total likelihood of an airplane crash will not be altered due to recent crashes. When one take a flight, it is usually done at your own risk.

If the airline industry proudly announces that it has set a new record for the longest period of safe​ flights, I would not be be reluctant to​ fly. Every airline companies are known to have strict maintenance of their planes are its parts.

They ensure that their flights does not have any issue on the way, Even though things do  happen, that does not mean I would be scare and not fly.

The airline is not due to crash. This is because the likelihood of a crash occurring is not due to the time a previous crash occurred. One should not be scared or afraid of flying.

Smith and Jones start a business to build custom bicycles. Smith invests personal funds of $100,000 and Jones invests $70,000. Grandma Smith loans the company $24,000 with the provision it is to be paid back in 12 equal monthly payments plus 1.5% monthly interest on her original contribution. Smith and Jones agreed that ownership would be proportional to their equity investments. In addition, they borrow $40,000 from the bank at interest of 1.5% per month payable monthly. (They do not have to pay back the principal for five years, so ignore it.) They buy $120,000 worth of parts. They use $80,000 of those parts in the first month. They pay factory workers a total of $15,000 for the first month. They pay rent of $4,000 for the month for a factory. They each (not Grandma) draw salaries of $4,000 per month.

Short term loan $22,000

Long term loan $40,000

Total liabilities $274,040

Question d

Grandma is not an equity owner since she will be repaid after 1 year.

Therefore, percentage ownership by Smith, Jones and Grandma will be as follows in the ratio of their equity contribution.

Total capital contributed = 100,000 + 70,000 = 170,000

Smith percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{100,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 58.8%

Jones percentage ownership = [tex]\frac{70,000}{170,000}[/tex] = 41.2%

Grandma's ownership = 0% (no equity contribution).

Answer with Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of the asset acquired must include all the cost necessary to make it ready for its intended use.

This means that the expenditure that is the legal cost or must be very important for making it ready for use must form part of the asset.

The double entry of such transaction is as under:

a. Services
b. Inbound logistics
c. Outbound logistics
d. Operations

Answers

Answer:

Outbound logistics

Explanation:

Logistics is defined as the process by which inventory and other goods are moved from their source to locations of use or consumption.

Outbound logistics for a business is concerned with movement of finished goods from a company to the consumer. It is movement of goods outward.

Various activities involved in this are storing, collection, order processing, warehousing, and distribution.

On the other hand inbound logistics deals with inflow of required raw materials and equipment for production or operations.

Despite its drastic downsizing a decade ago under a federally funded bailout and bankruptcy​ restructuring, General Motors again finds itself with too many U.S. factories that can turn out too many​ vehicles. GM's factory-utilization rate in North America averaged​ 95.1% over the past two​ years, below​ Ford's 111.9% and Toyota​ 's 101.4%.​ (Rates can exceed​ 100% when factories work a 3rd shift or schedule overtime work on​ weekends.) The auto industry often runs its factories​ dawn-till-dusk or even around the clock to boost their efficiency. ​Factory-utilization rates typically measure how much production capacity a plant uses based on a​ 16-hour workday. GM says its utilization rate is​ 100% on average when its​ round-the-clock truck and SUV lines are figured in with the relatively sleepy factories making​ cars. GM said it is working to​ "drive further​ improvements" in its plant​ utilization, including adding crossover SUVs to more factory lines. A plant in the Kansas City area that now makes only the Malibu is scheduled to begin assembling a small Cadillac SUV soon. But such a​ switch-over typically takes car makers several years of lead​ time, to order and install new​ assembly-line equipment and tooling.

Answer:

The question is actually missing (see attached image):

the answer is:

D. Less than that of its competitors.

Explanation:

Personally, I believe that GM is an extremely spoiled child that refuses to assume responsibility for its continuous and never ending mistakes. GM has either filed for bankruptcy or threatened to do so twice in the last 30 years or so, and every time the US government has to bail them out. But GM keeps doing things wrong.

It doesn't matter if you like their cars or not, GM is terribly managed. No other company in US history has received so much financial aid from the government and continued to lose money and work inefficiently. The problem is that whenever things go wrong, stockholders lose their money but the executives keep getting tens of millions of dollars. If a company is managed in such a disastrous way, their top management shouldn't get paid that much.

A car factory costs a lot of money, and not using it efficiently is outrageous considering GM's history. If they had never received a cent from the government, then its only their problem. But the government lost $11.2 billion on GM's last bailout. During the 1980s GM lobbied fro the government to impose import quotas on Japanese cars because they were better cars and GM couldn't compete against them. So whenever they do things wrong, big brother has to help them. During the last couple of years GM had to sell most of its foreign operations in order to get cash, and you generally do not make money by selling your assets.

Answers

Answer: $51300

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Osgood applies overhead at rate of 190% of direct cost material and we've been given the direct cost material as $27, 000. Therefore, the total overhead applied to the job will be:

In the absence of other temporary differences, in the balance sheet one would also expect to find a:

a- Current deferred tax asset

Explanation:

When Newsmax Inc. received the subscriptions of $400,000 in advance, a deferred tax asset will arise on its balance sheet. This deferred tax asset results from the overpayment or advance payment of taxes on the $400,000 taxed because cash has been received, although, the associated costs have not been recorded. Deferred tax asset is the opposite of a deferred tax liability as the latter represents income taxes owed to the IRS, which will be settled in the coming period(s).

The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be ________. Prepare all necessary journal entries.

Answers

Answer:

$$7,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts

Using this formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance =

Debts - Write offs + Bad Debt Expense

Let plug in the formula

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + (2.5%*$800,000)

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance= $5,000 - $18,000 + $20,000

Allowance for Bad Debts Ending balance = $$7,000

Therefore the ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts would be $7,000

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production with Respect to Materials and Conversion Costs.

Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units

1. Materials

Cost per Equivalent Unit = ($18,100 + $218,685) ÷  66,700

                                         = $3.55

2. Conversion Cost

Cost per Equivalent Unit = ($14,460 + $67,100 + $58,531) ÷  57,180

                                         = $2.45

3. Total Cost

Total Cost = Materials + Conversion Cost

                 = $3.55 + $2.45

                 = $6.00

Calculation of Total Cost of Units Completed and Transferred Out and Total Cost of Units still in Process.

Completed and Transferred Out = Units Completed and Transferred Out × Total Cost

                                                      = 54,800 × $6.00

                                                      = $328,000

Units still in Process = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                                 =  $3.55 × 11,900 + $2.45 × 2,380

                                 = $48,076

Westbank Real Estate, Inc. owns 10 acres of forested land. Westbank wants the land cleared in order to build houses. Westbank emails a signed electronic memorandum to a representative of Hardell Lumber Co. offering to sell the mature trees and rich topsoil to Hardell for lumber and agricultural purposes. The electronic memorandum includes the parties' typed names, the consideration, the price, and a description of the property, lumber, and soil. Hardell replies via email to Westbank that it accepts Westbank's terms, electronically signs the memorandum, and will start removing the trees and soil next month. Before Hardell can begin clearing the land, Westbank changes its mind, wants to keep the land forested, and prevents Hardell from accessing the property claiming no contract has been formed.

Cameroon Corp. manufactures and sells electric staplers for $16 each. If 10,000 units were sold in December, and management forecasts 4% growth in sales each month, the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March should be:_______

Answers

Answer:

= $173,056

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units of electric stapler sales budgeted for March is shown below:-

February = 10,000 + (4% × 10,000)

= 10,400

March = 10,400 + (4% × 10,400)

= 10816

and finally

The Budget sale for stapler for the month of March = 10,816 × 16

= $173,056

Iverson Company purchased a delivery truck for $45,000 on January 1, 2018. The truck was assigned an estimated useful life of 5 years and has a residual value of $10,000. Compute depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method for the years 2018 and 2019.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $45,000

Useful life= 5 years

Salvage value= $10,000

To calculate the annual depreciation under the double-declining balance method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2018:

Annual depreciation= 2[(45,000 - 10,000) / 5]

Annual depreciation= 14,000

2019:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(35,000 - 14,000)/5]

Annual depreciation= $8,400

The depreciation expense using the double-declining-balance method in 2018 is $18,000 and in 2019 is $10,800.

The double-declining balance method is an accelerated depreciation method when compared with other deprecation methods.

Depreciation expense = (2 x cost of the asset) / useful life of the asset

Deprecation expense in 2018

(2 x $45,000) / 5 = $18,000

Deprecation expense in 2019

Book value in 2019 = cost of the asset - deprecation expense

$45,000 - $18,000 = $27,000

Deprecation expense = (2 x $27,000) / 5 = $10,800

By the end of 2022, Humanity International has the benefit of hindsight to know that estimates of uncollectible accounts in 2021 were too high. How did this overestimation affect the reported amounts of total assets and expenses at the end of 2021

Answers

Answer:

Humanity International

The overestimation of the uncollectible accounts in 2021 reduced the reported amount of total assets and increased the total amount of expenses at the end of 2021.

Explanation:

When the uncollectible accounts in 2021 were overestimated, the uncollectible expense for the year was also overestimated.  This increased the total amount of expenses for that year.  In turn, the total amount of assets was decreased since the uncollectible allowance is usually deducted from an element of the assets (Accounts Receivable).

Starting from potential output, if firms become less optimistic about the future and decide to decrease their investment in new capital, then this will shift the ______ curve to the left and generate ______. Group of answer choices Aggregate demand; a recessionary output gap Aggregate supply; a recessionary output gap Aggregate demand; an expansionary output gap Aggregate supply; an expansionary output gap

Answers

Answer:

Option A (aggregate demand; a recessionary output gap) is the right choice.

Explanation:

The overall production volume again for desired items and products that form the gross national product. The amount of money supply, government expenditures, social spending, including private consumption seems to be the aggregate demand. As investment drops significantly, AD further decreases and therefore also sometimes shifts. Owing to the whole total performance would become less than that of productive capacity. So, this clearly shows a recessionary annual deficit.

The other options offered are not relevant to the scenario presented. So, the solution above is the right one.

Tuition of $3400 is due when the spring term begins, in 4 months. What amount should a student deposit today, at 12%, to have enough to pay tuition

Answers

Answer:  The student should deposit= $3,272.40

Explanation:

The formula we need to use is  

FV = P ( 1 + rt )

where:

F V  = the future value.

P = the principal amount.  

r= the rate of interest.  = `12%= 0.12

t= time in years. = 4/12= 1/3 =O.3333

FV = P ( 1 + rt )  

$3,400 = P (1 + 0.12 X 0.3333)

$3,400 = P (1 + 0.039)

$3,400 = P (1.039)

P= 3400 /1.039= $3,272.40

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

Debt to asset ratio is

= Total debt ÷ total asset

= $120 million ÷ ($150 million + $210 million)

= $120 million ÷ $360 million

= 0.33

And, the debt to equity ratio is

= Total debt ÷ total equity

= $120 million ÷ $210 million

= 0.57

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

You are considering how to invest part of your retirement savings.You have decided to put $400,000 into three​ stocks: 61% of the money in GoldFinger​ (currently $28​/share), 24% of the money in Moosehead​ (currently $73​/share), and the remainder in Venture Associates​ (currently $9​/share). Suppose GoldFinger stock goes up to $43​/share, Moosehead stock drops to $67​/share, and Venture Associates stock drops to $6 per share. a. What is the new value of the​ portfolio? b. What return did the portfolio​ earn? c. If you​ don't buy or sell any shares after the price​ change, what are your new portfolio​ weights?

Answers

Answer:

a. Number of shares of GoldFinger = 61%*400000/24

Number of shares of GoldFinger =  10166.6667

Number of shares of Moosehead = 24%*400,000/73

Number of shares of Moosehead = 1315.0685

Number of shares of Venture Associates = (1 - 61% - 24%) * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 15% * 400,000/9

Number of shares of Venture Associates = 6666.6667

New value of the portfolio = 10166.6667*$43 + 1315.0685*$67 + 6666.6667*$6

New value of the portfolio = $437,166.6681 + $88,109.5895 + $40000.0002

New value of the portfolio = $565,276.2578

b. The return that the portfolio​ earn is = ($565,276.2578 - $400,000) / $400,000 = $165,276.2578 / $400,000 = 0.4131906445 = 41.32%

c. Weight of Goldfinger is now = (10166.6667*$43) / $565,276.2578

= $437166.6681 / $565,276.2578

= 0.7734

= 77.34%

Weight of Moosehead is now = (1315.0685*$67) / $565,276.2578

= $88109.5895 / $565,276.2578

= 0.15587

= 15.59%

Weight of Venture is now = 100% - 77.34 - 15.59%

= 7.07%

Halifax Technologies primarily relies on 100% equity financing to fund projects. A good opportunity is available that will require $250,000 in capital. The Halifax owner can supply the money from personal investments that currently earn an average of 8.5% per year. The annual net cash flow from the project is estimated at $30,000 for the next 15 years. Alternatively, 60% of the required amount can be borrowed for 15 years at 9% per year. Using a before-tax analysis and setting the MARR equal to the WACC, determine which plan, if either, is better.

Answers

Answer:

100% equity financing from personal investments is better

Explanation:

100% equity financing option.

Expected annual return on the project = $30,000

Lost investment opportunity = 8.5% * 250,000 = $21,250.

Therefore incremental return from 100% equity financing option = $30,000 - $21,250 = $8,750 annually.

60% debt and 40% equity financing option.

Expected annual return on the project = $30,000

Lost investment opportunity = 8.5% * 40% * 250,000 = $8,500.

Interest rate on debt = 9% * 60% * 250,000 = $13,500.

Therefore incremental return = $30,000 - $8,500 - $13,500 = $8,000 annually.

Since the 100% financing gives a higher return than the debt-equity option, the  100% financing option is better.
