A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $105,000 and has $55,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $83,000. The old machine could be sold for $56,300. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $8,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $5,000 per year for eight years.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?
Answer:
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.
Explanation:
Differential Analysis
Purchase cost of the new machine (83,000)
Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8) 68,000
Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8) (40,000)
Scrap value of the old machine 56,300
Differential savings 1,300
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.
A tenant occupying 20,000 square feet in your building has two years remaining on their lease. You have a good relationship with this tenant and you assess the probability that they will renew their lease at 75%. If your tenant renews the lease, they will pay $15/sf in rent. If the tenant vacates, you expect that a new tenant will pay $18/sf. What is the gross rental income you expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires
Answer: $315000
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the gross rental income that one will expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires goes thus:
= [(75% x 15) + (25% x 18)] x 20,000
= [(0.75 × 15) + (0.25 × 18)] × 20000
= (11.25 + 4.5) × 20000
= 15.75 × 20000
= 315,000
Therefore, the gross rental income is $315000
A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $565,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $165,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $25,000. A machine costs $410,000, has a $26,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $75,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer:
The net present value of each potential investment:
Machine A Machine B
NPV $167,675 $2,267
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Machine A Machine B
Cost of machine $565,000 $410,000
Incremental after-tax income 165,000 75,000
Salvage value 25,000 26,000
Estimated useful life 6 years 8 years
Required rate of return 10% 10%
Annuity factor 4.355 5.335
PV factor 0.564 0.467
PV of incremental after-tax income $718,575 $400,125
($165,000*4.355) ($75,000*5.335)
PV of salvage value $14,100 $12,142
Total PV of income $732,675 $412,267
NPV $167,675 $2,267
= Total PV of income minus PV of initial investment cost
McCoy's Fish House purchases a tract of land and an existing building for $930,000. The company plans to remove the old building and construct a new restaurant on the site. In addition to the purchase price, McCoy pays closing costs, including title insurance of $2,300. The company also pays $12,600 in property taxes, which includes $8,300 of back taxes (unpaid taxes from previous years) paid by McCoy on behalf of the seller and $4,300 due for the current fiscal year after the purchase date. Shortly after closing, the company pays a contractor $46,500 to tear down the old building and remove it from the site. McCoy is able to sell salvaged materials from the old building for $3,600 and pays an additional $10,300 to level the land.
Required:
Determine the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land.
Answer:
The amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land is $993,800.
Explanation:
The amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land can be determined as follows:
Total cost of the land = Purchase price + Title insurance + Property taxes which are back taxes + Cost of removing the building – Salvage value + Additional cost of leveling the land = $930,000 + $2,300 + $8,300 + $46,500 - $3,600 + $10,300 = $993,800
Therefore, the amount McCoy’s Fish House should record as the cost of the land is $993,800.
In its first year of operations, Crane Company recognized $29,500 in service revenue, $6,100 of which was on account and still outstanding at year-end. The remaining $23,400 was received in cash from customers. The company incurred operating expenses of $15,500. Of these expenses, $12,010 were paid in cash; $3,490 was still owed on account at year-end. In addition, Crane prepaid $2,300 for insurance coverage that would not be used until the second year of operations.
1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting. 2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting.
The first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $23400
Less: Expenses = $14310
Net income = $9090
The first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $29500
Less: Expenses = $15500
Net income = $14000
2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
It should be noted that the accrual basis of accounting gives decision makers more useful information. This is due to the fact that the decision makers will probably want to know the revenue and the expenses that were incurred for a particular period and every other necessary details.
You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 38% of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 72% probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?
Answer:
The probability of you making it home for the holidays is:
= 45%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Probability of Scareways flights being canceled = 38%
Probability of successfully traveling with Scareways = 62% (100 - 38%)
Probability of getting a seat in Walter's car = 72%
Therefore, the probability of making it home for the holidays = the combined probabilities (either Scareways flight or Walter's car)
= 62% * 72%
= 0.62 * 0.72
= 0.4464
= 45%

They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods. Each unit sells for $25. 40% of the sales are for cash. 70% of the credit customers pay within the quarter. The remainder is received in the quarter following sale. Cash collections for the third quarter are budgeted at
Answer:
Total cash collection Third Quarter= $2,364,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
40% of the sales are for cash.
70% of the credit customers pay within the quarter.
The remainder is received in the quarter following the sale.
Sales:
Q2= 88,000*25= 2,200,000
Q3= 96,000*25= 2,400,000
Selling price per unit= $25
Cash collection Third Quarter:
Sales in cash= 2,400,000*0.4= 960,000
Sales on account third quarter= (2,400,000*0.6)*0.7= 1,008,000
Sales on account second quarter= (2,200,000*0.6)*0.3= 396,000
Total cash collection Third Quarter= $2,364,000

d. Juan will receive $60,000; Carl will receive $40,000.
e. Profits will be shared in the proportion specified in the partnership agreement.
Answer:
e. Profits will be shared in the proportion specified in the partnership agreement.
Explanation:
Partnership agreement is the governing document of an partnership. The agreement consist of how profit will be shared and has been agreed right before the partnership contract become become binding. Thus, the fact that Juan does 70% of the work and Carl does 30% of work does not specifies nor idicate profit sharing. Also, the fact that Carl invested 60% of the money required to start the business does not specify profit sharing as well. The profit sharing agreement is in the partnership agreement.

Like all companies, McDonald's needs to continue identifying, developing, and introducing new products. One recent concept McDonald's identified is a vegan burger. After assessing the concept, McDonald's research and development kitchen developed a vegan burger that they felt would be appealing to the 13% of Americans that are vegetarian or vegan. Before rolling the vegan burger out, McDonald's wanted to examine the viability in the real world, but on a limited basis. McDonald's next step should be to ________ the vegan burger.
a. test market
b. concept test
c. field exam
d. commercialize
Answer:
a. test market
Explanation:
The test market consists of a strategy used by organizations to assess how consumers will be receptive to a new product or service launched. In this step, companies select a group of consumers or a specific region with a profile aligned with the new product, to feel the reaction of the market, and then be able to distribute the product on a large scale. After defining the target audience of the test market, the companies monitor the promotion and distribution strategies, carrying out a kind of test to verify the errors and successes of the marketing campaign and the possibilities of the insertion of the new product in the mass market to be successful .
This is an advantageous strategy for companies, due to the lower cost associated with a large-scale launch, the monitoring of high risks, and the possibility of feeling the market, making corrections and checking the demand for the product.

Two years ago, you purchased 100 shares of General Mills Corporation. Your purchase price was $53 a share, plus a total commission of $34 to purchase the stock. During the last two years, you have received the following dividend amounts: $1.90 per share for the first year and $2.03 per share the second year. Also, assume that at the end of two years, you sold your General Mills stock for $59 a share minus a total commission of $41 to sell the stock.
Required:
a. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you purchased it.
b. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you sold it.
c. Calculate the total return for your General Mills investment when you sold the stock at the end of two years.
d. Calculate the annualized holding period yield for your General Mills investment at the end of the two-year period.
Answer:
Purchase Price $53 * 100 = $5300
Commission = $53
Total Cost $5353
D1 = $1.90 * 100 = 190
D2 = $2.03 * 100 = 203
Sale value of shares $59*100 $5900
Less: Commission $41
Net sale value $5859
a. Dividend yield at the time of purchase:
= D1/P0
= $1.90/$53
= 3.59%
b. Dividend yield at the time of sale:
= D2/P1
= $2.03/$41
= 4.95%
c. Total Return for 2 years = $5859 + $190 + $203 - $5353
Total Return for 2 years = $899
d. Annualized holding period yield = ($899/$5353) * 1/2
Annualized holding period yield = 0.0839716
Annualized holding period yield = 8.40%

Josiah is training users to navigate Access forms. What is the best way to advance in the form to the next field?
Enter
Shift+Tab
Ctrl+Home
End
Answer: Enter
Explanation:
If one wants to move to the next field but still in the same form on Access, one simply needs to tap the Enter button and it will move on. This is the same thing that happens in Excel when Enter is tapped.
It is probably because the forms created in Access do not allow for paragraphs so the enter key will only move you to another field instead of creating a new paragraph.
Sunland Company received proceeds of $664000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2019. The bonds had a face value of $704000, pay interest annually on December 31, and have a call price of 105. Sunland uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
$46,240
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Interest expense=($704,000 × .06)+[($704000-$664000)/10]
Interest expense= $42,240+($40,000/10)
Interest expense=$42,240+$4,000
Interest expense=$46,240
Therefore the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $46,240

The Jenkins Corporation has purchased an executive jet. The company has agreed to pay $200,000 per year for the next 10 years and an additional $1,000,000 at the end of the 10th year. The seller of the jet is charging 6% annual interest. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the liability that would be recorded by Jenkins.'
Answer:
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
Explanation:
To calculate the amount that would be recorded as a liability, we need to find the present value of the jet. The present value can be calculated by discounting the cash flows provided in the question. The 200000 cash flows that will be payable every year are in the form of an ordinary annuity and their present value will be calculated using the attached formula. The present value of 1000000 that is payable at the end of the 10th year will be calculated as follows,
Present Value of Cash flow = Cash Flow / (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the discount rate t is the time periodPresent value of liability = 200000 * [(1 - (1+0.06)^-10) / 0.06] +
1000000 / (1+0.06)^10
Present value of liability = $2,030,412.1871 rounded off to $2,030,412.19
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%
