The management of Metro Printers is considering a proposal to replace some existing equip- ment with a new highly efficient lase

r printer. The existing equipment has a current book value of $2,200,000 and a remaining life (if not replaced) of 10 years. The laser printer has a cost of $1,300,000 and an expected useful life of 10 years. The laser printer would increase the company’s annual cash flows by reducing operating costs and by increasing the company’s ability to gener- ate revenue. Susan Mills, controller of Metro Printers, has prepared the following estimates of the laser printer’s effect on annual earnings and cash flow:
Estimated increase in annual cash flows (before taxes):
Incremental revenue: 140,000
Cost savings (other than depreciation): 110,000
Reduction in annual depreciation expense:
Depreciation on existing equipment . . . . ......... 220,000
Depreciation on laser printer . . . . . . . . . . ......... 130,000
Estimated increase in income before income taxes . . . 340,000
Increase in annual income taxes (40%) . . . . . . . . . . . . . 136,000
Estimated increase in annual net income : ........................204,000
Estimated increase in annual net cash flows. . . . . . . . . . . 114,000
Don Adams, a director of Metro Printers, makes the following observation: "These estimates look fine, but won’t we take a huge loss in the current year on the sale of our existing equipment? After the invention of the laser printer, I doubt that our old equipment can be sold for much at all." In response, Mills provides the following information about the expected loss on the sale of the existing equipment:
Book value of existing printing equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2,200,000
Estimated current sales price, net of removal costs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 200,000
Estimated loss on sale, before income taxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2,000,000
Reduction in current year’s income taxes as a result of loss (40%) . . . . . . . . . 800,000
Loss on sale of existing equipment, net of tax savings: 1,200,000
Adams replies, "Good grief, our loss would be almost as great as the cost of the laser itself. Add this $1,200,000 loss to the $1,300,000 cost of the laser, and we’re into this new equipment for $2,500,000. I’d go along with a cost of $1,300,000, but $2,500,000 is out of the question."
Instructions
a. Use Exhibits 26–3 and 26–4 to help compute the net present value of the proposal to sell the existing equipment and buy the laser printer, discounted at an annual rate of 15 percent. In your computation, make the following assumptions regarding the timing of cash flows:
1. The purchase price of the laser printer will be paid in cash immediately.
2. The $200,000 sales price of the existing equipment will be received in cash immediately.
3. The income tax benefit from selling the equipment will be realized one year from today.
4. Metro uses straight-line depreciation in its income tax returns as well as its financial statements.
5. The annual net cash flows may be regarded as received at year-end for each of the next 10 years.
b. Is the cost to Metro Printers of acquiring the laser printer $2,500,000,

In Spring 2018, Parmac Engineering Company signed a $160 million contract with the city of Parkersburg, to construct a new city
marta [7]

Answer:

By using the percentage-of-completion method the $64 million revenue should Parmac recognize in 2018

Explanation:

Percentage-of-completion method : Under this method,

First we have to calculate the percentage which is based on current period cost to total period cost.

After that, multiply the percentage with the revenue so that we get to know how much revenue is being recognized during an particular year.

In mathematically,

Estimated Cost percentage =  current period cost ÷ total period cost

                                              = $48 million ÷ $120 million

                                              = 40%

Now,

Revenue recognized = Estimated cost percentage × Revenue

                                   = 40% × $160 million

                                   = $64 million

Hence, by using the percentage-of-completion method the $64 million revenue should Parmac recognize in 2018

A quality control activity analysis indicated the following four activity costs of a hotel:
svet-max [94.6K]

The Cost of Quality Report is as follows:

Quality Cost                 Quality     Percentage of                  Percentage of

Classification                  Cost        Quality Cost                      Total Sales

Prevention                  $98,600     20% ($98,600/$493,000)     3.4%

Appraisal                       49,300     10% ($49,300/$493,000)       1.7%

Internal Failure           246,500     50% ($246,500/$493,000)  8.5%

External Failure            98,600     20% ($98,600/$493,000)     3.4%

Total Quality Costs $493,000     100%                                       17.0%

Data and Calculations:

Inspecting cleanliness of rooms                             $49,300 (Appraisal)

Processing lost customer reservations                   98,600 (External failure)

Rework incorrectly prepared room service meal 246,500 (Internal failure)

Employee training                                                    98,600 (Prevention)

Total                                                                     $493,000

Sales                                                                 $2,900,000

Percentage of Quality Cost = Quality Cost/Total Quality Cost * 100

Percentage of Total Sales = Quality Cost/Total Sales * 100

Thus, the cost of quality report is an appraisal of how the hotel uses its resources to prevent poor quality, including its internal and external failures.

In the short run, an increase in the aggregate price level caused by a shift in the aggregate demand curve first causes:
ra1l [238]

Answer: b. movement along SRAS

Explanation:

When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.

This new point will see a movement <em>along </em>the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.
