Answer: $153,782.70
Explanation:
The MACRS allowance percentages are as follows, commencing with Year 1: 14.29, 24.49, 17.49, 12.49, 8.93, 8.92, 8.93, and 4.46 percent.
In 4 years, the depreciation would be:
= Cost price * (4 year deprecation)
= 525,000 * (14.29% + 24.49% + 17.49% + 12.49%)
= $360,990
Book value :
= 525,000 - 360,990
= $164,010
Gain (loss) = Sale price - Book value
= 150,000 - 164,010
= ($14,010)
Tax payable = (14,010) * 27%
= ($3,782.70)
After-tax cash flow:
= Selling price - Taxes
= 150,000 - (-3,782.70)
= $153,782.70

Answer:
$110,000
Explanation:
The closing balance in the finished goods inventory account is a function of the opening balance and the net movement that occurred during the year.
As such, the closing balance
= opening balance + purchases/production - sales
Given;
opening balance = $185,000
purchases/production = $550,000
sales = $625,000
Therefore,
closing balance in the finished goods = $185,000 + $550,000 - $625,000
= $110,000

Answer:
- Threat of Substitutes
- Threat of New entrants/ Competitors
Explanation:
This question relates to Porter's five forces.
A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.
Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.
Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.
