Answer:
PV = $155,343
Explanation:
This question requires application of PV of annuity, according to which:
PV = p [1-(1+r)^-n/r]
P= Periodic Payment
r = rate of period
n = number of periods
r = 3%/12 = 0.25% (monthly), n = 120, P = $1500
PV = 1500 * [\frac{1 - (1 + 0.0025)^{-120}}{0.0025}]
PV = 1500 * 103.5618
PV = $155,343
Answer:
Total= $19.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The basic direct labor rate is $12.00 per hour. Payroll taxes are 13% of the basic direct labor rate, while fringe benefits such as vacation and health care insurance, are $6.00 per hour.
<u>The direct labor standard rate per hour is calculated using the direct labor rate, the taxes and fringe benefits.</u>
Standard direct labor rate:
Direct labor rate= 12
Payroll taxes= (12*0.13)= 1.56
Fringe benefits= 6
Total= $19.56
Answer:
You agree that test marketing could be helpful, but you point out that it may also reveal your ideas to your competitors.
Explanation:
In the give scenario the existing famous cheesy butter biscuits sales are going down. In an effort to increase the revenue of the business the head of product development has a theory that people want lighter options today, and she has recommended test marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities across the United States.
This is an innovative solution to the problem and the head of product development should be encouraged to drive the test marketing.
However marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities will expose the strategy to competitors. It will be better to conduct the test in a more controlled environment away from competitors.
Answer: <u><em>Depreciation for the first year = 17825</em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
Machine purchased for $125,000
Salvage value of $10,000
Output = 100,000
First year of operation, Output = 15500
First, we'll evaluate depreciation per unit over the entire life of the machine:
i.e. 
Depreciation per unit = 
<em>Depreciation per unit = 1.15</em>
Now, we'll compute the depreciation for the first year:
Depreciation for the first year = Depreciation per unit × Output (first year)
Depreciation for the first year = 1.15 × 15500
<u><em>Depreciation for the first year = 17825</em></u>
