Maui Fabricators Inc. is considering an investment in equipment that will replace direct labor. The equipment has a cost of $125

,000 with a $15,000 residual value and an eight-year life. The equipment will replace one employee who has an average wage of $28,000 per year. In addition, the equipment will have operating and energy costs of $5,150 per year.
Determine the average rate of return on the equipment, giving effect to straight-line depreciation on the investment. If required, round to the nearest whole percent.

Answer:

average rate of return = 13 %

Explanation:

given data

equipment cost = $125,000

residual value = $15,000

time = 8 year

Annual Average wage = $28000

Annual operating and energy costs = $5,150

to find out

average rate of return

solution

first we get here depreciation expenses that is here as

Depreciation expense = ( equipment cost - residual value ) ÷ time period .........1

Depreciation expense = $\frac{125000 - 15000}{8}$

Depreciation expense = $13750

so average annual income will be here as

average annual income = Annual Average wage - Depreciation expense - Annual operating and energy costs ....................2

average annual income = $28,000 - $13750 -$5150

average annual income = $9100

and average investment will be

average investment = $\frac{125000+15000}{2}$

average investment = $70000

so average rate of return will be here as

average rate of return = $\frac{average\ annual\ income}{average\ investment}$ ..............3

average rate of return = $\frac{9100}{70000}$

average rate of return = 0.13

average rate of return = 13 %

Answer:

Average rate of return 13%

Explanation:

Given data:

cost of eqipment is $125,000

residual value is $15000

average wage of employee $28,000

energy cost is $5150 per year

Average rate of return $= \frac{Estimated \ Average\ annual\ income}{Average\ investment} \times 100$

depreciation expense $= \frac{125,000 - 15000}{8} = 13750$

Average annual income = 28000 - (13750 + 5150) = 9100

average investment $= \frac{125000 + 15000}{2} = 70,000$

Average rate of return $= \frac{9100}{70,000} \times 100 = 13\%$

Answer:

The answer are: ... are a combination of the central planning system and the price system.

Explanation:

Every economy in the world is a mixture of capitalism and socialism. In capitalism the fee market is absolute king, it sets prices and supply and demand of products. In socialist countries the government plans the economy and decides supply and demand of goods and services.

No country is purely capitalist since taxes exist and the government always intervenes with regulations and public services, etc. No country is purely socialist either, not even North Korea, since all the economies need to trade with their neighbors and people will always want to prosper.

So countries try to manage their economies in a mixture, some are more capitalist like the US and Canada, and some are more socialist like North Korea and Venezuela. The EU is sort of in the middle of both ideologies.

Answer:

Determine the equivalent units for May for the first process is 363,000 units

Explanation:

Concept of Equivalent Units determines the number of units completed in terms of percentage in completion of inputs added into that process

In our case the Inputs in the process are Materials and Conversion.

<u>Calculation of Equivalent Units in terms of </u><u>Materials</u><u> is as follows:</u>

Units transferred to the next production department = 175,000×100% = 175,000

Ending Work in process inventory = 10000×100% = 10000

Total Equivalent Units in terms of Materials = 185000 (175000+10000)

<u>Calculation of Equivalent Units in terms of </u><u>Conversion</u><u> is as follows:</u>

Units transferred to the next production department = 175,000×100% = 175,000

Ending Work in process inventory = 10000×30% = 3000

Total Equivalent Units in terms of Conversion = 178000 (175000+3000)

<u>Therefore </u><u>Total equivalent units for May</u><u> for the first process is as follows:</u>

Total Equivalent Units in terms of Materials 185,000

Add Total Equivalent Units in terms of Conversion 178,000

Total equivalent units for May for the first process 363,000

Henri earned a salary of $50,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2006. The consumer price index was 177 in 2001 and 265.5 in 2006. Henri'

gladu [14]

Answer:

Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars =$46,666.66

Explanation:

A rise in the price index implies inflation

Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.

This price index is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.

So we can determine the salary in the base year value as follows:

2006 Salary in the base year terms=

CPI base year/CPI in the current year × salary in the current year

CPI base year- 177, CPI in the current yea- 256.5,

Salary in the current year - 70,000

Henri 2006 Salary in 2001 Dollar

=177/265.5 ×70,000/265.5 = 46,666.66

Henri's 2006 salary in 2001 dollars =$46,666.66
