The decision to build the park or not would be based solely on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000 ($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more than its cost.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The answer is c. present value index

Explanation:

Present value index is the ratio decided by dividing net present value of the project by its require initial net cash outflows.

Once having constraint on selecting investment with positive NPV to be made due to lack of fund, a firm's usually use Present value index for further decision making.

The investment with higher present value index shows that it generates more net cash flow or in other words, more efficient and requires less initial cash outflow, and thus usually be chosen over the other ones with lower present value index.

The following information is available for Patrick Products for the year: Budgeted sales during the year 5,000 units Actual sale
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$125,000 Adverse variance as the cost actually incurred is higher.

Explanation:

The first step here is to find the Flexed Variable Overhead Cost by using the unitary method:

Budgeted overhead cost for 10,000 budgeted hrs = $2500,000

Budgeted overhead cost for 1 budgeted hrs = $2500,000 / 10000 bud. hrs

Budgeted overhead cost for 1 budgeted hrs = $250 per standard hr

And as we know that

Flexed Variable Overhead Budget = Actual Units * Budgeted overhead cost for standard hr

By simply putting values we have:

Flexed Variable Overhead Budget = 9000 hours * $250 per standard hr

= $2,2500,000

Now we will find the Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance by taking the difference of Variable overhead flexible budget and Actual Variable Overhead.

Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance = Variable overhead flexible budget - Actual Variable Overhead

By putting the values we have:

Flexible-budget Variable Overhead Variance = $2,2500,000 - $2,375,000

= $125,000 Adverse variance as the cost actually incurred is higher.

a 17-year annuity pays $1,100 per month, and payments are made at the end of each month. The interest rate is 16 percent compoun
zzz [600]

Answer:

The present value of the annuity is $73,091.50

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the present value of the annuity

Present value of annuity = ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for first 6 years ) + [ ( Annuity Payment x Annuity factor for after 6 years ) x Present value factor  for 6 years ]

Where

Annuity Payment = $1,000

Annuity factor for first 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 16%/12 )^-(6x12) / 16%/12 = 46.10028344

Annuity factor for after 6 years = 1 - ( 1 + 13%/12 )^-((17-6)x12) / 13%/12 = 70.0471029820

Present value factor for 6 years = ( 1 + 16%/12)^-(6x12) = 0.385329554163

Placing values in the formula

Present value of annuity = ( $1,000 x 46.10028344 ) + [ ( $1,000 x 70.0471029820 ) x 0.385329554163 ]

Present value of annuity = $46,100.28 + $26,991.22

Present value of annuity = $73,091.50
