Bryant Company has a factory machine with a book value of $90,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for $30

,000. A new machine is available at a cost of $400,000. This machine will have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $600,000 to $500,000. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

Answer:

The old machine should be replaced. The rationales are given as below:

<u>* In case we retain the old machine, total cost over five year will be the sum of the below cost items:</u>

- Depreciation of the old machine = Current book value of the old machine = $90,000 ( as the machine has remaining useful life of 5 years and no salvage value at the end of 5 year is given)

- 5-year variable manufacturing cost = annual variable manufacturing costs * 5 = 600,000 * 5 = $3,000,000

<u>=> Total cost over five year = $3,000,000 + $90,000 = $3,090,000</u>

<u>* In case we replace the old machine, total cost over five year will be the sum of the below cost items:</u>

- Loss of selling old machine = Proceed from selling old machine - Book value of old machine = 30,000 - 90,000 = $60,000

- Depreciation of the new machine = Cost of the new machine = 400,000 ( as the machine has useful life of 5 years and no salvage value at the end of 5 year)

- 5-year variable manufacturing cost = annual variable manufacturing costs * 5 = 500,000 * 5 = $2,500,000

<u>=> Total cost over five year = $2,500,000 + $400,000 + 60,000 = $2,960,000</u>

<em><u>So, as replacing the machine will result in lower cost in comparison to retaining it ( $2,960,000 in comparison to $3,090,000), we should replace the old machine.</u></em>

A particular stock has a dividend yield of 1.5 percent. Last year, the stock price fell from $82 to $68. What was the return for
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The return for the year is -15.57%.

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate Return for the year as:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital Gain/(Loss).

in which:

* Dividend yield is given at 1.5%;

* Capital Gain/(Loss) = Price at year end/ Price at the beginning of the year - 1 = 68/82 -1 = - 17.07%;

So we have:

* Return for the year = Dividend yield + Capital (Loss) = 1.5% - 17.07% = -15.57%.

Thus, the answer is -15.57%.

Three individuals, Mary, Jack and Helen, make up the total demand for donuts per month in a particular market.
Paraphin [41]

The market demand curve would be 1000 - 0.125Q.

<h3>How to calculate the demand curve?</h3>

It should be noted that the market demand curve will be the sum of the individual demand curve.

The market demand curve will be calculated thus. Mary’s demand curve is 5P = 5000 – 1.25QM. Here, p = 1000 - 0.25QM

Jack’s demand curve for donuts is given by P = 1000 – 0.5QJ. Helen’s demand curve is given by QH = 2000 – 2P. This will be P = 1000 - 0.5QH.

The slope will be:

= 0.5 × 0.25

= 0.15

The demand function of Jack and Helen are the same. The demand curve will be 1000 - 0.125Q.

A new manufacturing machine is expected to cost $278,000, have an eight-year life, and a $30,000 salvage value. The machine will
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,  

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years

Why is gdp an imperfect measurement of total production in the​ economy?
ra1l [238]
First of all, GDP does not include household production, production from the underground economy, intermadiate goods or intermediate servces. That is because we define GDP to be the total of all market values of all final goods and services in the country. Hence, the correct answer by the above definition cannot be d. The point of that definition is that household products cannot have a market value and that if we counted towards the GDP both the value of a Graphics Card and that of the PC, we would double count the value of the Graphics Card, thus overestimating the GDP. We see that the value of new houses are included in GDP since they need materials and services and they have a market value, so b is also excluded. Finally, we have shown that b is true but that this is a good thing and leads to a better estimate of total production; the correct answer is a. Here is an example. If there is an economy where in every house there is plenty of wood and people make wood dolls out of tradition, these dolls will not have a market value if they are kept by the people who made them. Nonetheless they are products too and everyone could just try to sell them the next day at a reasonable price; then, the GDP would get a bump out of nowhere, because it cannot account for household items or the underground economy.
