The straight-line depreciation method: A. reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year. B. can be used only by small companies. C. reports a higher amount of depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's use. D. reports more depreciation expense in a year when an asset is heavily used and less in a year when the asset is hardly used at all.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset

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

The straight line depreciation method reports an equal amount of depreciation expense each year.

An example of the straight line depreciation method

cost of asset = 10,000

salvage value = 0

useful life = 5

straight line depreciation = (10,000 - 0) / 5 = 2000

depreciation expense each year would be 2000

Suppose a mutual fund qualifies as having moderate risk if the standard deviation of its monthly rate of return is less than 5​%. A​ mutual-fund rating agency randomly selects 24 months and determines the rate of return for a certain fund. The standard deviation of the rate of return is computed to be 4.54​%. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the fund has moderate risk at the α=0.05 level of​ significance? A normal probability plot indicates that the monthly rates of return are normally distributed. What are the correct hypotheses for this​ test? The null hypothesis is H0

Answers

Answer:

H0 : σ = 5

H1 : σ < 5

there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.

Explanation:

The hypothesis :

H0 : σ = 5

H1 : σ < 5

The test statistic using the Chisquare variance test :

χ² = (n-1)*s²/σ²

The sample size, s = 4.54

The sample size, n = 24

α = 0.05

Test statistic ;

χ² = [(24 - 1) * 4.54²] / 5²

χ² = (23 * 20.6116) / 25

χ² = 18.962

The Pvalue :

df = n - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23

Pvalue(0.05, 23) = 0.7034

Since Pvalue > α ; we fail to reject the Null ;

Hence, there is no sufficient evidence to conclude that fund has moderate risk.

The ultimate goal of contract damages is: Multiple Choice Put the nonbreaching party where it was before the contract was formed. Return any costs incurred by the nonbreaching party. Put the nonbreaching party where it was prior to breach. Put the nonbreaching party in the best position possible. Give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.

Answers

Answer:

Give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.

In contract law, damages can be defined as an amount of money that is paid to a claimant (innocent party) as a compensation for a breach of contractual agreement and it's based on the amount of interest he or she has vested in the contract. Thus, it covers the incurred by the nonbreaching party (claimant or innocent party) due to a breach of contract by the other party.

Hence, the ultimate goal of contract damages is to give the nonbreaching party the benefit of its bargain.

A company buys equipment for $48,000, expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000. Using the straight-line method, the company should report annual depreciation for the equipment of: A. $4,200. B. $8,400. C. $4,800. D. $9,600.

Answers

Answer:

A $4,200

Explanation:

Given the following information, a company buys equipment for $48,000 expects to use it for ten years, and then sell it for $6,000

We need to use the formula below

Annual depreciation = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Estimated life(years)

Annual depreciation = ($48,000 - $6,000) / 10

Annual depreciation = $4,200

Variable Overhead Spending and Efficiency Variances, Columnar and Formula Approaches Rath Company provided the following information:

a. Cost of each alternative:

Cash cost $72 million

Equity cost $37.8 million

b) The NPV of each alternative:

NPV cash -$52 million ($20 - $72)

NPV stock $20 million ($20 - $0)

c. The alternative to choose:

Stock.

There is no cash flow with the offer of 45% of Penn's stock to the shareholders of Teller.  Actually, there is no NPV with stock offer, except the administrative costs of issuing the shares to Teller's shareholders.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

After-tax annual cash flow = $2 million

Discount rate for the incremental cash flows = 10%

Present value of the perpetuity = $20 million ($2 m/10%)

Current market value of Teller = $54 million

Current market value of Penn = $84 million

Possible settlement options:

45% of stock = $37.8 million ($84 million * 45%)

Cash $72 million

(a) Standard direct labor rate per hour. $ ______
(b) Standard direct labor hours per gallon. hours
(c) Standard labor cost per gallon. $______

Answers

Answer:

a. Standard direct labor rate per hour = Hourly wage rate + Payroll taxes + Fringe benefits

Standard direct labor rate per hour = $16.70 + $0.60 + $1.40

Standard direct labor rate per hour = $18.70

b. Standard direct labor hours per gallon = Actual production time + Rest periods and cleanup + Setup and downtime

Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 1.60 hours + 0.30 hours + 0.20 hours

Standard direct labor hours per gallon = 2.1 hours

c. Standard labor cost per gallon = Standard direct hours per gallon * Standard direct labor rate per hour

Standard labor cost per gallon = 2.1 hours * $18.70

Standard labor cost per gallon = $39.27

Answers

Answer:

The cost balance on 31 December 2018 is $518,000 while that of accumulated depreciation is $126,400

Explanation:

The balance of fixed assets is computed as

Opening balance - accumulated depreciation - depreciation + Addition - Disposal

Hence given that on December 31, 2017, Calgary Industries reports equipment of $470,000 and accumulated depreciation of $94,000. During 2018, the company plans to purchase additional equipment costing $100,000 and expects depreciation expense of $40,000, Additionally, it plans to dispose of equipment that originally cost $52,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $7,600 the balance then

= $470,000 + $100,000 - $52,000

= $518,000

The accumulated depreciation

= $94,000 + $40,000 - $7,600

= $126,400

Answers

Answer:

Margin of safety $250,750

Margin of safety ratio 11.8%

Explanation:

Computation for the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio

First step is calculate the Break even point in dollars

Break even point in dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Break even point in dollars=$562,275/0.30

Break even point in dollars = $1,874,250

Now let determine the the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio

Margin of safety = Actual Sales - Break even sales

Margin of safety= $2,125,000 -$1,874,250

Margin of safety=$250,750

Margin of safety ratio= Margin of safety/Actual Sales

Margin of safety ratio = $250,750/$2,125,000

Margin of safety ratio = 0.118*100

Margin of safety ratio = 11.8%

Thereforethe margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio will be:

Margin of safety $250,750

What is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $1,250?

Answers

Answer:

The amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.

Explanation:

To determine what is the loan amount if the interest rate is 7.5% per year and the monthly interest payment is $ 1,250, the following calculation must be performed:

1250 x 12 = 15,000

1,075X = 15,000

X = 15,000 / 1,075

X = 13,953.48

Therefore, the amount of the loan was $ 13,953.48.

A producer of fixed proportion goods X and Y (Q = Qx = Qy) has marginal costs and revenues of MC = 10 Q, MRX = 150 - 6 QX, MRy = 30 - 4 Qy. The producer should produce how many units?
a. Qx =9, Qy=9
b. Qx = 9, Qy = 7.5
c. Qx = 10, Qy = 10
d. Qx = 9, Qy=0

Answers

Answer:

a. Qx =9, Qy=9

Explanation:

As per the given data

Q = QX = QY

MRX = 150 - 6QX = 150 - 6Q

MRY = 30 - 4QY = 30 - 4Q

MC = 10Q

Now calculate the Marginal revenue as follow

MR = MRX + MRY

MR = 150 - 6Q + 30 - 4Q

MR = 150 + 30 - 6Q - 4Q

MR = 180 - 10Q

The Equilibrium of the producer will be

MR = MC

180 - 10Q = 10Q

180 = 10Q + 10Q

180 = 20Q

Q = 180 / 20

Q = 9

As we know

Q = Qx = QY

Hence, the value of Qx  and QY is 9

Describe the events that occur in an efficient market in response to new information that causes the expected return to exceed the required return. What happens to the market value

Answers

Answer:

The efficient market hypothesis tells, in an equilibrium, the price of stocks or security is an unbiased estimate of the true values.

Explanation:

Thus, in the equilibrium,  of security prices are neither an overvalued nor are undervalued. Suppose the investors learn new information about the company that suggests there stock is worth more than the current price.  The security gets undervalued expected return exceeds the required return. Increased in demand for security from the investors with this new information will thus bid up the market value plus reduce its expected return until they are equal.

The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 12%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.

Required:
Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one?

Answers

Solution :

Calculating the (NPV) Net Present value for the following matters to check the feasibility of the replacement of an 8 year old riveting machine with the new one :

Let

A = Year (n)

B = Initial outlay

C = Five-year MACRS depreciation percentage

D = Depreciation with MACRS Method (D)

E = Savings in earnings before depreciation

F = Taxable Income (earnings before depreciation - depreciation

G = Income taxes (Taxable Income *40%)

H = [tex]\text{After-Tax Net}[/tex] cash flow [tex]\text{(Taxable income - taxes + depreciation)}[/tex]

I = PV of [tex]\text{Net cash flow}[/tex] at the rate [tex]12\%[/tex]= [tex]NCF[/tex]/ [tex](1+WACC\%)^n[/tex]

NPV                                                                                                    $22,329.39

As the NPV, the project is positive ($22,329.39) and so the company should replace the 8 year old riveting machine with the new one.
