Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:

a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $250,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $72,115 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000.

b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $39,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1.89 years

B. 2.33 years

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

(A) After-tax income = $72,115

Expected cost = $250,000

Useful life = 4 years

Salvage value = $10,000

Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $250,000 ÷ $132,115

= 1.89 years

(B) After-tax income = $39,000

Machine cost = $200,000

Useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $13,000

Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750

Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation

= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750

Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

= $200,000 ÷ $85,750

= 2.33 years

Explanation:

Cost-volume-profit analysis is also known as the break even analysis, it is an important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is. It is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.

Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.

Marginal revenue can be defined as the additional amount of money that is gained or generated by a business firm from the sales of an additional unit of a product or service.

Marginal revenue, graphically is the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point.

This ultimately implies that, the change in the value of the total revenue curve at a given point gives the marginal revenue.

JDog Corporation owns stock in Oscar Inc. valued at $2,000,000 at the beginning of the year and $2,200,000 at year-end. Jdog received a $10,000 dividend from Oscar Inc. What temporary book-tax differences associated with its ownership in Oscar stock will Jdog report for the year in the following alternative scenarios (income difference only-ignore the dividends-received deduction)?
a. JDog owns 5 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.
b. JDog owns 40 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.

Answers

Answer:

a. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.

b. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.

Explanation:

a. JDog owns 5 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000

The 5 percent ownership implies that JDog has to report $10,000 in book income, and also report $10,000 in gross income. Therefore, we have:

Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $10,000 - $10,000 = $0

Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.

b. JDog owns 40 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.

The 40 percent ownership implies that:

Amount to report in book income = $40% * $500,000 = $200,000

Amount to report in gross income = $10,000

Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $200,000 - $10,000 = $190,000

Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.

Debit Salaries Payable $57,200

Debit Payroll Taxes Payable $22,800

Credit Cash $80,000

To record the payment of the salaries and taxes.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of sales employees = 5

Salary per month = $16,000 each

Withholding taxes:

FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992

Medicare taxes  1.45% = $232

Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560

Monthly Medical Insurance = $440

FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56

SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280

Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560

Payroll total ($16,000 * 5) = $80,000

Withholding taxes for each:

FICA social security taxes of 6.2% = $992 * 5 - $4,960

Medicare taxes  1.45% = $232 * 5 - $1,160

Federal income tax = 16% = $2,560 * 5 - $12,800

Monthly Medical Insurance = $440 * 5 - $2,200

FUTA = 0.8% of the first $7,000 = $56 * 5 - $280

SUTA = 4.0% of the first $7,000 = $280 * 5 - $1,400

Total withholding tax deductions = $4,560 * 5 = $22,800

Net pay = $57,200

Answer:

The Answer Is C Or 3

Explanation:

Suppose that you are running a business, and you need some extra space for one year. Your bank offers you a loan of $200,000 at 0% interest. You consider borrowing this amount to buy the building, use it for one year, and then sell the building to pay back the loan. Unfortunately, the economy in which you are operating is experiencing deflation at the rate of 10% per year. After one year, you should be able to sell the building for____.
Suppose that owning the building for a year would earn you $12,000. To decide whether you will be better off by owning it for one year and then selling it, you seek advice from three different people: (1) Your brother says that you should not buy the building because in one year it will cost you $200,000. (2) Your accountant says that you should definitely buy the building because you can borrow $200,000 at zero interest while the building will generate $12,000 in extra income. Then when you sell it, you will be $12,000 richer. (3) Your bookkeeper says that if you sell the building in a year, you will have to come up with more money to pay off the loan than you will make in extra income.
Keeping in mind that the economy experiences deflation at the rate of 10%, who is right?
A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.
B. Your brother is correct, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, the cost of a building is its full purchase price.
C. Your accountant is right, because when the nominal interest rate is zero, you do not incur any cost when you take out a loan.
Now, suppose you inherited $200,000 in cash from your uncle who had kept it hidden in his mattress. Assuming the nominal interest rate is -1%, which of the following options will maximize the amount of cash that you have in one year?
A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.
B. Buying the building, because you can earn an additional $12,000 in income if you own the building for one year and then sell it.
C. Depositing the cash in the bank, because the 10% rate of deflation makes the value of your dollars fall even more rapidly than 1% per year.
A high real interest rate will keep firms from borrowing to finance investment in capital, but it will not keep firms with cash from investing in capital.
A. False
B. True

Answers

Answer:

Question 1

The building will depreciate by 10% in one year so in one year you will only be able to sell it for:

= 200,000 * ( 1 - 10%)

= $180,000

Question 2.

A. Your bookkeeper is right, because the extra income you will earn will be less than the cost of owning the building for the year.

If you buy the building, you will have to pay back $200,000 in a year.

However, you will only be able to sell the building for $180,000 and you will receive an income of $12,000 for a total of:

= 180,000 + 18,000

= $192,000

This is $8,000 less than the $200,000 you borrowed so you will pay back more than you borrowed.

Question 3

A. Holding onto your $200,000 in cash.

Holding your cash is the best option because investing in the building would lead to a loss of $8,000 after a year.

The bank would also reduce your balance by 1%. It is therefore best to hold the money.

Question 4

A. False

Companies with cash still have to make decisions based on gains and they will stand to gain more if they deposited their money because this would give them more interest profits.

Suppose you trade dollars and euros for a bank that has branches in Los Angeles and Frankfurt. You can electronically transfer the funds between the two branch locations at no cost, and trading commissions are negligible. The current dollar-per-euro exchange rate in Los Angeles is E$/EURLA=1.5653 , while in Frankfurt, it is E$/EURFR=1.586.

You can make a profit for the bank if you buy euros in _______ and sell them in _________.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Profit will be made by you for the bank if you buy the Euros in Los Angeles, and sell the Euros to customers in Frankfurt...

Buying in Los Angeles comes at a price of $1 = €1.5653, then going ahead to sell in Frankfurt means you get to sell it at a rate of $1 = €1.586

Although this is a very tiny difference, of 0.0207. The reality is that when you're doing a lot of tradings that involves currency, you tend to see the profit. If for example, a total of $1 million is traded, then the profit would be $20700, which we all can attest to the fact that it's a lot of money.

Suppose that the demand for milk in the United States is represented by the following equation, where P is the price of a gallon of milk. QD = 200 – 10P The supply of milk is represented by the following equation: QS = –10 + 50P The equilibrium price of a gallon of milk is a) $ (give your answer to two decimals), and the equilibrium quantity is b) million gallons.

Answers

Answer:

a.

P = $3.50 per gallon

b.

Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons

Explanation:

a.

The equilibrium price is the price at which Quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. To calculate the equilibrium price using the given equations for demand and supply, we need to equate both equations.

Equilibrium Price (P) calculation

QD = QS

200 - 10P  =  -10 + 50P

200 + 10  =  50P + 10P

210 = 60P

P = 210 / 60

P = $3.50 per gallon

b.

The equilibrium quantity can be calculated by inserting the value of Price (P) in any of the equation for demand or supply.

Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 10(3.50)

Equilibrium Quantity = 200 - 35

Equilibrium Quantity = 165 million gallons

Explanation:

Economics can be classified into two (2) categories, namely;

1. Macroeconomics: it can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

2. Microeconomics: it can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets.

Hence, it is focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.

An in-kind transfers refers to the type of payment made in form of material properties rather than in cash.

A disadvantage associated with in-kind transfers to reduce poverty is that they do not allow poor families to make purchases based on their preferences. Since these families cannot purchase the choice goods with money.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method

Beginning inventory $52,500

Inventory purchased $284,000

Freight $9,800

Merchandise returned ($3,000)

Discounts [($284,000 – $3,000) x 2%)] ($5,620)

Cost of goods available for sale $337,680

Therefore the cost of goods available for sale, assuming CBC uses the gross method is $337,680

Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110

Answers

Answer:

C. $ 90

Explanation:

Number of visits = 1,000

Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000

Fixed cost = $50,000

Overhead cost = $20,000

Required profit = $10,000

So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost

= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000

= $80,000

Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits

= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000

= $90,000 ÷ 1,000

= $90

Two of Interpret Inc's products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $15,300 of the total joint costs of $36,000. A total of 2,200 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $10 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,200 and then sold for $12 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point

Answers

Answer:

($5,800)

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company

Product QI

Sales value after further processing $26,400

($12 × 2,200)

Less Costs of further processing ($10,200)

Benefit of further processing $16,200

($26,400-$10,200)

Less Sales value at split-off point ($22,000)

($10 × 2,200)

Net advantage (disadvantage) ($5,800)

($16,200-$22,000)

Therefore what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company is ($5,800)

D. always behave rationally because they are overly optimistic about their future behavior. E. do not always behave rationally because they take into account nonmonetary opportunity costs.

Answers

Answer:

A. do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs.

Explanation:

Behavioral economics can be defined as a branch of economics that typically deals with the study of market transactions in which consumers of goods and services make choices or buying decisions that doesn't look economically rational.

According to behavioral​ economics, consumers do not always behave rationally because they ignore sunk costs i.e being overly optimistic about their behavior in the future while ignoring the fact that the money has been spent on purchase and cannot be recovered again.

Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.

Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Robert Parish Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on January 1, 2014. The cost of this machine was $315,900. The company estimated that the machine would have a salvage value of $15,900 at the end of its service life. Its life is estimated at 4 years, and its working hours are estimated at 40,000 hours. Year-end is December 31.
Instructions
Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods and complete the depreciation schedules below.
(a) Straight-line depreciation.
(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
(d) Double-declining-balance.

Answers

Answer:

(a) Straight-line depreciation.

depreciation expense per year = ($315,900 - $15,900) / 4 = $75,000

(b) Activity method for 2014 and 2015, assuming that machine usage was 15,000 hours for 2014; 11,710 hours for 2015; 12,150 hours for 2016 and 1,140 hours for 2017.

depreciation expense per unit = $300,000 / 40,000 = $7.50 per unit

depreciation expense 2014 = $7.50 x 15,000 = $112,500

depreciation expense 2015 = $7.50 x 11,710 = $87,825

(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits.

depreciation expense 2014 = $300,000 x 4/10 = $120,000

depreciation expense 2015 = $300,000 x 3/10 = $90,000

(d) Double-declining-balance.

depreciation expense 2014 = $315,900 x 2 x 1/4 = $157,950

depreciation expense 2015 = $157,950 x 2 x 1/4 = $78,975

depreciation expense 2016 = $78,975 x 2 x 1/4 = $39,487.50

depreciation expense 2017 = $39,487.50 - $15,900 = $23,587.50

Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution

Answers

Answer:

$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.

Remaining basis in JM $14,225

Therefore her basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution are:

$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.

how personality affect on performance of company

Answers

Personality affects all aspects of a person's performance, even how he reacts to situations on the job. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction, helping your business function more efficiently.

Answer:

Personality affects all aspects of a person's performance, even how he reacts to situations on the job. Not every personality is suited for every job position, so it's important to recognize personality traits and pair employees with the duties that fit their personalities the best. This can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction, helping your organization to function more efficiently. Personality can be seen as the motor which drives behavior. It's consistent over time and across situations, and has been proven to predict our success at work over the course of 50 or more years. The most widely accepted model of personality-the 'Big Five' model-uses five distinct scales to describe personality: conscientiousness (the extent to which one is dependable and persistent), emotional stability(one's calmness and self-control), extraversion (a measure of sociability, ambition and narcissism), agreeableness (the extent to which one is cooperative and altruistic), and openness to experience (a measure of creativity and novelty-seeking) Personality Personality is so widely studied concept by the psychologists that "personality psychology" is taken as a separate discipline of psychology.

Oriole Company uses a periodic inventory system. For April, when the company sold 600 units, the following information is available. Units Unit Cost Total Cost April 1 inventory 270 $30 $ 8,100 April 15 purchase 440 36 15,840 April 23 purchase 290 39 11,310 1,000 $35,250 Compute the April 30 inventory and the April cost of goods sold using the FIFO method. Ending inventory $enter a dollar amount Cost of goods sold $enter a dollar amount

Answers

Answer:

. Ending inventory = $15,270

cost of goods sold = $19,980

Explanation:

FIFO means first in, first out. It means that it is the first purchased inventory that is the first to be sold

the cost of goods sold would be determined using the prices of inventories on April 1 and 15

cost of goods sold

270 x $30 = $8100

        +

(600 - 270) x $36 = $11,880

cost of goods sold = $19,980

ending inventory would consist of the inventory not sold on April 15 and the inventory bought on April 23

inventory not sold on April 15 = 440 - (600 - 270) = 110

110 x 36 = $3960

    +

290 x 39 = 11,310

total = $15,270

Can you lead a task force in creating a new social media policy for Vector before productivity drops even further? Keep in mind that you don't want to create employee backlash! Instructor Instructions: Please review the instruction and respond to the questions for this homework assignment.

Answers

Answer:

New social media policy about the internet usage should be implemented with strict internal controls so that there is no back loafing again by the employees in the organization.

Explanation:

Cyber loafing is Internet back loafing when employees are using company's internet access for personal use or for a second job. Some organizations do allow personal use of internet but to some extent and it should be monitored. When employees find loopholes in the company's internal controls they will create some opportunity for fraud. The internet access given to employees should be monitored carefully and there should be strict internal controls so that any misuse is avoided.
