Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Desing A: 23,024,370‬

Desing B: 22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

Overhaul:

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

$FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\$

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

$1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\$

C $ $ 226,218.498

Then at perpetuity:

$ 226,218.498 / 0.05 = 4,524,370

Desing A capitalized cost:

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

$3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\$

C $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 = 4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬

Andrews Corp. ended the year carrying $33,836,000 worth of inventory. Had they sold their entire inventory at their current pric

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Revenue could be of amount $33,836,000

Explanation:

As the selling price is not given in the question, only the cost of the inventory is given, So,

We assume that the Sales quantity is X and the Selling Price per unit be Y

Then,

Sales = X × Y ............... Equation (1)

Less : COSG = $33,836,000 ................ Equation (2)

Net Income = 1 - 2

If the selling price is equal to the cost of the inventory which is $33,836,000. So, the only revenue which is to be added is the amount of $33,836,000.

Note: It totally depend or grounded on the Sales value.

5. Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 40 billion

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The amount of tax on a case of Cola is ;

= Selling price - Producer gain

= 6 - 2

= $4

The burden that falls on consumers is;

= Current selling price - Previous selling price

= 6 - 5

= $1

The burden that falls on the producers is;

= Selling price less consumer tax - Producer gain

= 5 - 2

= $3

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers. FALSE.

Whether the tax is on the producer or on the consumer makes no difference because the quantity sold will be the same. The statement is therefore false.
