Explanation:
Augustus Company is considering investing in new equipment. Based on the following, what is the Average Annual Operating Income (as in the Accounting Rate of Return calculation)?
Estimated Cost of New Equipment $500,000
Useful life in years 5
Estimated Residual Value $50,000
Expected New Cash Inflows over life of asset $700,000
Answer:
$50,000
Explanation:
Estimated Cost of New Equipment = $500,000
Useful life in years = 5
Estimated Residual Value = $50,000
Expected New Cash Inflows over life of asset = $700,000
Annual depreciation expense = (Estimated Cost of New Equipment-Estimated Residual Value)/Useful life in years
= ($500,000 - $50,000) / 5
= $450,000 / 5
= $90,000
Average annual cash flow = Expected New Cash Inflows over life of asset/ Useful life in years
= $700,000/5
= $140,000
Average annual operating income = Average annual cash flow - Annual depreciation expense
= $140,000 - $90,000
= $50,000
Double West Suppliers (DWS) reported sales for the year of $300,000, all on credit. The average gross profit percentage was 40 percent on sales. Account balances follow: Beginning Ending Accounts receivable (net) $ 45,000 $ 55,000 Inventory 60,000 40,000 Required: Compute the following turnover ratios. By dividing 365 by your ratios from requirement 1, calculate the average days to collect receivables and the average days to sell inventory.
Answer:
(1) Account receivable turnover Ratio = 6 times
Inventory turnover Ratio = 3.6 times
(2) Average days to collect receivables = 61 days
Average days to collect inventory = 101 days
Explanation:
(1). Net credit sales = $300,000
Average account receivable = ($45,000 + $55,000) ÷ 2 = $50,000
COG sold = $300,000 - (40% × $300,000) = $180,000
Average inventory = (60,000 + 40,000) ÷ 2 = 50,000
Account receivable turnover Ratio= Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts receivable
= $300,000 ÷ 50,000
= 6 times
Inventory turnover Ratio= COG Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= 180,000 ÷ 50,000
= 3.6 times
(2). Average days to collect receivables= 365 ÷ 6
= 60.83 or 61 days
Average days to collect inventory= 365 ÷ 3.6
= 101.38 or 101 days
Each year, a bicycle repair shop receives $120,000 in total revenue. Annual costs include $40,000 for labor, $5,000 in parts, and $30,000 in equipment rental. The owner of the bicycle repair shop owns the building and could rent it out for $12,000 per year. She could be making $50,000 per year if she worked as a project manager instead. What is the owner's accounting profit
Answer:
Accounting profit= $45,000
Explanation:
The accounting profit does not take into account the opportunity cost of making a different decision. Therefore, the opportunity of renting the building and working as a project manager will not be taken into account.
Accounting profit= 120,000 - 40,000 - 5,000 - 30,000
Accounting profit= $45,000
On January 1, 2020, Korsak, Inc. established a stock appreciation rights plan for its executives. It entitled them to receive cash at any time during the next four years for the difference between the market price of its common stock and a pre-established price of $20 on 120,000 SARs. Current market prices of the stock are as follows: January 1, 2020 $35 per share December 31, 2020 38 per share December 31, 2021 30 per share December 31, 2022 33 per share Compensation expense relating to the plan is to be recorded over a four-year period beginning January 1, 2020. *75. What amount of compensation expense should Korsak recognize for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
$570,000
Explanation:
Missing question: "On December 31, 2022,50,000 SARs are exercised by executives. What amount of compensation expense should Korsak recognize for the year ended December 31, 2020"
Amount of compensation expense = [(33-20)*120,000*3/4] - [(30-20)*120,000*2/4]
Amount of compensation expense = [13*120,000*3/4] - [10*120,000*2/4]
Amount of compensation expense = 1,170,000 - 600,000
Amount of compensation expense = $570,000
So. the amount of compensation expense that Korsak should recognize for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $570,000.

The pounds of bananas sold each week at all Metro Seattle Alberstons stores as a function of price, p , in dollars/pound(lb.) is given by q ( p ) = 100 e 1.5 ( 5 − p ) 1. What is the price elasticity of demand for bananas at $.20/lb. ? (nearest 0.01) Bananas are Select an answer at that price? 2. What is the price elasticity of demand for bananas at $1/lb. ? Bananas are Select an answer at that price? 3. At what price is the maximum revenue per week achieved? +/- $0.01 4. What is that maximum revenue per week? 5. How many pounds will be sold each week at that optimal price
Answer:
a) 0.3 ( Inelastic )
b) 1.5 ( elastic )
c) $0.66 = ( 1/1.5 )
d) $44342.77
e) 66514.1633 Ib
Explanation:
Function = q (p) = 100e^1.5 ( 5 − p )
∴ q = 100e^(7.5 - 1.5p)
dq/dp = 100 ( -1.5 ) e^(7.5-1.5p)
hence E (p ) = | p/q * dq/dp |
= | -1.5p |
a) Determine the price elasticity of demand at $0.20 / Ib
E( 0.2 ) = | -1.5 * 0.2 |
= 0.3
given that E < 1 inelastic more revenue is generated when prices are increased
b) price elasticity at $1 / Ib
E ( 1 ) = | -1.5 * 1 |
= 1.5 given that E > 1 ( Elastic ) , hence when prices are raised less revenue is generated
c) Determine price at which maximum revenue is achieved
i.e. E(P) = -1 ( for max revenue )
-1 = | -1.5p |
therefore p ( price at which max revenue is achieved ) = ( 1 / 1.5 ) = $0.66
d) maximum revenue per week
q * p = ( 0.66 )* 100*e^(7.5 - 1.5*0.66)
= $44342.77
e) How many pounds will be sold each week at optimal price
quantity sold at optimal price ( q )
q = 100*e^(7.5 - 1.5*0.66)
= 66514.1633

Cobb Company produces 8,000 parts each year, which are used in the production of one of its products. The unit product cost of a part is $36, computed as follows: Variable production costs $16 Fixed production costs 20 The parts can be purchased from an outside supplier for only $24 each. If the part is outsourced, fixed production costs would be reduced by one-fourth. If the parts are purchased from the outside supplier, the annual impact on the company's operating income will be:
Answer:
Explanation:
Total unit product cost = $36
If purchased from outside, then fixed costs will be only $15 because 25% of 20 will be reduced.
So, if purchased from outside,
Total unit cost = 24 + 15
Total unit cost = $39
So, it is more when purchased from outside. Total operating income will decrease by = 8,000 * (39 - 36) = $24,000

Assume that in 2018, a copper penny struck at Philadelphia mint in 1796 was sold for $480,000. What was the rate of return on this investment?
Answer:
The annual rate of return on this investment is 8.29%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return on this investment is shown below:
Since the copper penny is in 1795 is 1 cent
And,
1 cent = .01 dollars
Now
Year 1796 2018
Amount (in dollars) 0.01 $390,000
We know that
Future Value = Present Value × ((1 + rate )^time period)
Here,
t = 2018 - 1795 = 222
So,
.01 × ((1+rate)^(222)) = $480,000
(1+rate)^(222) = $48,000,000
1 + rate = $48,000,000^(1 ÷ 222)
1 + rate = $48,000,000^(0.004505)
1+rate = 1.082929503
rate = 0.082929503
Hence, The annual rate of return on this investment is 8.29%
Economists Kenneth Chay and Michael Greenstone found that in the two years following the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970, the sharp reduction in air pollution also led to a decline in infant deaths. Although this and other studies provide compelling evidence of the link between pollution and infant health, it is not clear that reductions from the much lower levels of ambient pollution today would have the same effect. Which of the following reasons could explain this?
A) The cost of pollution abatement today is much higher than it was in the 1970s. Thus, it would be far more costly to achieve the same level of benefit today as the benefit achieved in 1970.
B) When levels of pollution are high, the marginal benefit of reducing pollution also is high. It follows therefore that the benefit of reducing air pollution in 1970 would be much higher than the benefit from a proportional reduction in air pollution today when the level of pollution is much lower.
C) Today, the level of pollution is much higher. Therefore, it will take a much larger reduction in air pollution to reap benefits similar to those in 1970.
D) When levels of pollution are high, the marginal benefit of reducing pollution is low. Therefore, it was necessary to significantly reduce air pollution in 1970 before benefits could be realized. Today, when the level of pollution is much lower, such drastic measures are unnecessary.
Answer: B) When levels of pollution are high, the marginal benefit of reducing pollution also is high. It follows therefore that the benefit of reducing air pollution in 1970 would be much higher than the benefit from a proportional reduction in air pollution today when the level of pollution is much lower.
Explanation:
Marginal benefits follow a returns to scale model which means that overtime, the benefits received per additional unit of output is less than the benefit before it.
In the context of pollution, there was much more pollution in 1970 so reducing pollution gave a high marginal benefit. As the air became cleaner however and pollution dropped, the benefit began decreasing because there was less pollution to clean and benefit from.

Therefore, the expected annual repair budget for this piece of equipment is $1,933.20.
7. A monopolist has cost function = + 2 and the regulator is willing to allow the firm to use a two-part tariff per consumer = + to cover total costs. Total demand is = 102 − and there are 100 identical consumers. Up to how much is willing to pay each indidual consumer to have the right to consume the good at marginal cost? What is the optimal tariff or tariff that would maximize social welfare (fixed part and marginal price) ?
Answer: hello your question is poorly written below is the complete
A monopolist has cost function C = F + 2Q and the regulator is willing to allow the firm to use a two-part tariff per consumer equal to T = A + pq to cover total costs. Total demand is Q = 102 − p and there are 100 identical consumers. What is the optimal tariff or tariff that would maximize social welfare (fixed part and marginal price)?
answer : Fixed part = $5000 per customer = $500,000
marginal price = $2
Explanation:
Marginal cost of monopolist = dc / dq = 2
Q = quantity of the concerned good/service.
p = price of concerned good/service
Based on profit maximizing condition of the monopoly firm under the two-part tariff system ; output of concerned goods/services = MC = price of concerned goods/service
P = MC
102 - Q = 2 ∴ Q = 100
back to the Total demand function ( p = 102-Q )
p = 102 - Q
p = 2
when Q = 0
p = 102 - Q = 102
hence; Total consumer surplus = 0.5 * ( 102 - 2 ) * ( 100-0 ) = $5000 i.e. fee charged by monopolist per customer
marginal / socially optimal price charged = $2
Total Fixed rate/part that the monopolist will charge from 100 customers
= (100*5000) = $500,000
You want to invest in a project in Wonderand. The project has an initial cost of W738,000 and is expected to produce cash inflows of W321,000 a year for 4 years. The project will be worthless after that. The expected inflation rate in Wonderland is 2.5% while it is 4.5% in the U.S. The applicable interest rate for a project like this in Wonderland is 13%. The current spot exchange rate is W1 = $2.3456.
Required:
What is the Net Present Value of this project in Wonderland's currency (i.e., in "W")?
Answer:
Wonderland
Net Present Value of this project in Wonderland's currency is:

The product liability insurance carried by Sea Green includes a payout ceiling of $6,000,000. Assume any net assets of the company will be used to reduce the judgment. For how much of the judgment is the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a sole proprietorship, a partnership, an LLC, a C corporation, and an S corporation
Answer:
A. $3,275,000
B. $3,275,000
C. $3,075,000
D. $3,075,000
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine how much of the judgment is the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP,
First step is to calculate the FMV of the net assets
FMV of the net assets=($925,000 - $200,000)
FMV of the net assets =$725,000
Now let calculate the amount the owner is liable of
Amount liable=($10,000,000-$6,000,000)-$725,000
Amount liable= ($4,000,000 - $725,000).
Amount liable=$3,275,000
Therefore the amount of the judgment that the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP is $3,275,000
B. Calculation to determine how much of the judgment is the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a PARTNERSHIP
First step is to calculate the net FMV of the
net assets
Net FMV of the
net assets =($925,000 - $200,000)
Net FMV of the
net assets= $725,000
Now let calculate the partners are liable of
Amount liable=($10,000,000-$6,000,000)-$725,000
Amount liable= ($4,000,000 - $725,000).
Amount liable=$3,275,000
Therefore the amount of the judgment that the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a PARTNERSHIP is $3,275,000
C. Calculation to determine how much of the judgment is the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a C corporation
Corporate debts=($10,000,000-$6,000,000)-$925,000
Corporate debts=($4,000,000 - $925,000).
Corporate debts =$3,075,000
Therefore the amount of the judgment that the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a C corporation is $3,075,000
D. Calculation to determine how much of the judgment is the entity and its owners liable if Sea Green is a S corporation
Corporate debts=($10,000,000-$6,000,000)-$925,000
Corporate debts=($4,000,000 - $925,000).
Corporate debts =$3,075,000

Materials used by the Instrument Division of Ziegler Inc. are currently purchased from outside suppliers at a cost of $1,350 per unit. However, the same materials are available from the Components Division. The Components Division has unused capacity and can produce the materials needed by the Instrument Division at a variable cost of $900 per unit. a. If a transfer price of $1,000 per unit is established and 75,000 units of materials are transferred, with no reduction in the Components Division's current sales, how much would Ziegler Inc.'s total operating income increase
Answer:
the increase in the total operating income is $33,750,000
Explanation:
The calculation of the increase in the total operating income is given below:
= Material units × (outside supplier unit - variable cost per unit)
=75,000 units × ($1,350 - $900)
= $33,750,000
Hence, the increase in the total operating income is $33,750,000
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct amount could come

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-38,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $11,600
I = 12%
NPV = $(2,767).
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

An engineer is trying to decide which process to use to reduce sludge volume prior to disposal. Belt filter presses (BFP) will cost $203,000 to buy and $85,000 per year to operate. Belts will be replaced one time per year at a cost of $5500. Centrifuges (Cent) will cost $396,000 to buy and $119,000 per year to operate, but because the centrifuge will produce a thicker "cake", the sludge hauling cost to the monofill will be $37,000 per year less than for the belt presses. The useful lives are 5 and 10 years for alternatives BFP and Cent, respectively, and the salvage values are assumed to be 10% of the first cost of each process whenever they are closed down or replaced. Use PW evaluation to select the more economical process at an interest rate of 6% per year over (a) the LCM of lives, and (b) a study period of 8 years. Are the decisions the same?
