I dont know if my answer is right or not but is it shallow?
What are the differences between short- and long-term planning? Short-term planning evaluates your progress in the present and creates an action plan to improve performance daily. However, long-term planning is a comprehensive framework that comprises of goals to be met within a four- to five-year period.
Answer: $329.75
Explanation:
The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,
= 78 - 38
= 40 years
Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.
I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.
The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.
The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,
= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)
= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)
= $329.752
= $329.75
This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
Answer: $618,096
Explanation:
Accumulated depreciation after 5 years = 20% + 32% + 19.2% + 11.52
= 82.72%
Value after 4 years = 3,300,000 * ( 1 - 82.72%)
= $570,240
Gain on sale = Salvage value - Net book value
= 650,000 - 570,240
= $79,760
Aftertax salvage value = 650,000 - (Gain on sale * tax)
= 650,000 - (79,760 * 40%)
= $618,096
Answer:
inventory impairment/cost of good sold (p/l) $500
Explanation:
IAS 2 requires that inventory be initially recognized at cost including cost of purchase and other necessary cost incurred in getting the inventory to the location where it becomes available for sale.
Subsequently, the item of inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (NRV).
Quantity Unit Cost Unit NRV Lower of cost/NRV Amount
Model A 100 $100 $ 120 $100 $10,000
Model B 50 $50 $ 40 $40 $2,000
Model C 20 $200 $210 $200 $4,000
Adjustment required = 50 ($50 - $40)
=$500
