Answer: 3.83 years
Explanation:
The Discounted Payback period is used to determine how long it would take a project to payback the investment made in it given required return adjusted cashflows.
Year 1.
= 17,000 / ( 1 + 11.4%)
= $15,260
Year 2
= 20,000/ 1.114²
= $16,116
Year 3
= 27,000/1.114³
= $19,530
Year 4
= 30,000/1.114⁴
= $19,480
Investment Balance up to year 3
= -67,000 + 15,260 + 16,116 + 19,530
= -$16,904
The amount left is smaller than the discounted Cashflow for Year 4 so the Investment will be paid back in year 4.
= 16,904/19,480
= 0.83
0.83 of year 4 will be taken to pay off Investment.
In total;
= 3 complete years + 0.83 in 4th year
= 3.83 years.
Option B, The predetermined overhead allocation rate is based on actual costs.
Explanation:
The term "pre-set overall rate" refers to the allocation rate at the outset of a project, which is based on the expected cost of overhead output for a certain reporting period.
This rate is often used to make book closure quicker as it eliminates estimation of real overhead costs as part of the closing process at the end of the period. Nevertheless, at least at the end of every fiscal year, the disparity between the real and expected overhead sums must be reconciled.
The predetermined rate is derived by calculation as follows:
Estimated amount of manufacturing overhead to be incurred in the period ÷ Estimated allocation base for the period
Answer: B
I think we can straight away get rid of answer choice c. From there, we can choose from either choice a or b. For repeatedly expressed, he hasn't been there enough times to prove it is repeatedly expressed, so I believe the main reason why he has a positive attitude is favorable outcome that he will receive the same treatment again.
Answer: 6%
Explanation:
The annual payments can be considered to be annuity payments as they are constant. The amount borrowed can be considered the present value of the annuity.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 8 years, %?
178,960 = 28,819 * Annuity factor
Annuity factor = 178,960 / 28,819
= 6.20979
To find out the interest rate, look at the Present Value of Annuity table and go to the 8 period column. Look for 6.20979. The interest rate that intersects with this factor is the interest rate implicit in this agreement.
That rate is 6%.
The direct write-off method violates the <u>matching principal</u>, which says that revenues and expenses are recorded in period that they occur (not necessarily when they are collected/written off).
