Look at the instructions for that form 1040EZ online. If that doesn't help you call the dept of taxation for help

The replacement cost of an inventory item is below the net realizable value and above the net realizable value less the normal p

Andrews [41]

Answer:

D. Replacement cost.

Explanation:

As we know that the inventory should be recorded at the cost or market value whichever is lower

Given that

Original cost is less than the net realizable value subtract the profit margin

So we assume the following figures

Original cost $10

Net realizable value 9

Replacement cost 8

NRV less normal profit margin 7

As if we compare the original cost and replacement cost so the lower value is of replacement cost

hence, the same is to be considered

Therefore the correct option is D.

A company has the opportunity to take over a redevelopment project in an industrial area of a city. No immediate investment is r

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

1-a. The are multiple IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. Rate of return = 7.58%

2. This is NOT a good investment because the NPV is negative.

Explanation:

Note: The estimated Net Cash Flow for the 4th year in the data is erroneously stated in the question as a positive value instead as a negative value since it is a cost.

The estimated net cash flows correctly before answering the question as follows:

Year End Net Cash Flow

1 $500,000

2 $300,000

3 $100,000

4 –$2,400,000

5 $150,000

6 $200,000

7 $250,000

8 $300,000

9 $350,000

10 $400,000

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

1-a. Tabulate the PW versus the interest rate and determine whether multiple IRRs exist.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the tabulation of the PW versus the interest rate.

From Part 1-a of the attached excel file, it can be observed that multiple IRRs exist. This is because there two IRRs stated as follows:

The first IRR value = 4.09%

Second IRR value = 31.82%

1-b. If so, use the ERR method when e 8% per year to determine a rate of return.

Note: See Part 1-a of the attached excel file for the calculation of total future value of income when e = 8% per year.

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost not income. Therefore,

From attached excel, we have:

Total Future Value of Income = $3,661,508.81

In the attached excel file, note that year 4 has a cost (not income) of $2,400,000. Therefore, it future value is not calculated. However, the present of the cost can be calculated as follows:

Present value of cost in year 4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + e)^4 = $2,400,000 / (100% + 8%)^4 = $1,764,071.65

The rate of return can now be calculated as follows:

Rate of return = ((Total Future Value of Income / Present value of cost in year 4)^(1/Number of period)) - 1 = (($3,661,508.81 / $1,764,071.65)^(1/10)) - 1 = 0.0758, or 7.58%

2. Use the PW method and a MARR of 18% to determine whether this is a good investment.

Note: See Part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculation of net present value (NPV).

From part 2 of the attached excel file, we have:

Net present value = –$21,043.15

Since the net present value is negative, this implies that this is NOT a good investment.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Bar chart

A bar chart can as well be regarded case a "bar graph", it can be explained as a chart/graph that gives the representation of categorical data as a

rectangular bars, where the height of the rectangular bars will equal to the data values they are representing. This bars could be horizontally or vertically plotted. It should be noted that bar chart shows individual figures at a specific time, or shows variations between components but not in relation to the whole.

Manuel borrowed a total of $4000 from two student loans. One loan charged 4% simple interest and the other charged 3.5% simple i

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

Explanation:

We have given total amount borrowed = $4000

Let x amount is borrowed at a rate of 4%

So $4000-x is borrowed at rate of 3.5%

Total interest = $150

We know that simple interest $=\frac{principal\ amount\times rate\times time}{100}$

So $\frac{x\times 4\times 1}{100}+\frac{(4000-x)\times 3.5\times 1}{100}=150$

$4x+14000-3.5x=15000$

0.5 x=1000

x = 2000

So the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

And principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

g Your financial advisor offers you two different investment options. Plan A offers a $17,000 annual payment, in perpetuity. Pla

motikmotik

Answer:

4.76%

Explanation:

The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.

PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate

PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r

PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r

$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r

multiply boths side by r

17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18

divide both sides by 30000

17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18

0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18

by rearraging the equation we have the below

(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667

(1+r)^-18=0.433333333

divide indices on both sides by -18

1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)

1+r=1.047554315

r=1.047554315-1

r=4.76%
