Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its ex

isting machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $250,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:
Year 1 $390,000
2 400,000
3 411,000
4 426,000
5 434,000
6 435,000
7 436,000
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $400,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $100,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.

Answer:

NPV = 37,599 Negative

Explanation:

We can calculate the NPV of the new sewing machine by deducting the Present value of future cash inflows by Investment

Initial investment = Machine cost + Training cost - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should not purchase the new machine as the NPV of the machine is negative

during its first year of operations, silverman company paid $11,440 for direct materials and $9,900 for production workers' wage
algol13

The amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end is $11,880

What is the cost of producing 5,600 units?

The cost of producing the finished goods of 5,600 units is the sum of direct materials, workers' wages and lease payments and utilities on the production facilities

total production costs=direct materials+ production workers' wages+ lease payments and utilities on the production facilities

total production costs=$11,440+$9,900+$8,900

total production costs=$30,240

cost per unit=$30,240/5,600

The finished goods inventory is units produced minus the units sold

finished goods inventory=5600-3400

finished goods inventory=2,200

finished goods inventory on the balance sheet=2200*$30,240/5,600

finished goods inventory on the balance sheet=$11,880

Understanding opportunity cost
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

D.$24

Explanation:

Opportunity cost: The opportunity cost is that cost which gives the best alternative option

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

= Earning per hour + admission fee

= $15 per hour + $9

= $24

Since the question is asking for the total cost, so we consider both the costs i.e earning per hour and admission fee.

8. Problems and Applications Q8 Social Security benefits are increased each year in proportion to the increase in the CPI, even
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

  1. False
  2. True

Explanation:

1. Social security benefits are increased each year in proportion to an increase in CPI which measures inflation. This CPI is based on a market basket that most people use. If the social security benefits that the elderly get rises as the price of the basket rises then Social Security would not provide a decrease in their standard of living but would rather leave it unchanged so this answer is <u>FALSE.</u>

2. If Healthcare is said to be rising faster than inflation and elderly people consume more health care then that means that Social security benefits which are based on a inflation are not capturing the rise in living expenses for the elderly appropriately. This means that old people might be worse off. This is therefore <u>TRUE. </u>
