Answer:

$215,000

Explanation:

this question is not complete. here is the full question :

New project analysis-- You must evaluate a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $180,000, and it would cost another $27,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $90,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $8,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $79,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.*********** What is the initial investment outlay for the spectrometer, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?

the initial cash outlay = cost of the spectrometer + net working capital

cost of the spectrometer = base price + cost of modification

$180,000 + $27,000 = $207,000

$207,000 + $8,000 = $215,000

Tanya [424]

Given:

Total assets before journalizing and posting the adjusting = $128,800

Expired insurance = $800

Expired rent = $2,400

Depreciation = $900

To find:

Total assets after journalizing and posting the adjusting

Solution:

To determine the value of the total assets after journalizing and posting the adjustment, we have to subtract all the given values i.e, the expired rent, expired insurance and the depreciation values from the total assets before journalizing and posting the adjusting.

The calculation is as follows,

Total assets after journalizing and posting the adjusting

$\Rightarrow\$128,800 - \$800 - \$2,400 - \$900 = \$124,700$

Therefore, the required value of the total assets after journalizing and posting the adjusting is $124,700.

Answer:

The maximum amount of good Y produced will be 960.

Explanation:

Smallville has a linear production possibility frontier in the production of good X and good Y.

It can produce 6 of X per hour or 8 of Y per hour.

It has 240 hours of labor and divides labor hours equally between the production of good X and good Y.
