Answer:

The sum of the present values of the stream of cash flows is $1,011,772.58

Explanation:

We need to compute the present value of the cash flows separately for each amount

The first cash flow is occurring at the end of the first year

We use the formula PV = FV/(1+i)^n

Where PV = Present Value, FV = Future value, i = Interest rate, which is the rate at which the cash flows are to be discounted and n = the year in which the cash flow occurs

Plugging the values in the formula, we get the present value for the first year

PV = 250,000/(1+0.065)^1 = 250,000/1.065 = 93,896.71= $93,896.71

The present values for the successive years are provided as under

PV = 20,000/(1+0.065)^2 = 20,000/(1.065)2 = 17,633.1857= $17,633.1857

PV = 180,000/(1+0.065)^3 =180,000/(1.065)3 = 149,012.8365= $149,013.8365

PV = 450,000/(1+0.065)^4 =450,000/(1.065)4 = 349,795.3909= $349,795.3909

PV = 550,000/(1+0.065)^5 =550,000/(1.065)5 = 401,434.4601= $401,434.4601

Adding up the present values for each of the years, we obtain the present value of the cash flow stream

93,896.71+17,633.1857+149,013.8365+349,795.3909+401,434.4601 = $1,011,773,.58 approximately (only the final answer is rounded off to two decimal points)

Rina8888 [55]

Breached. Explanation: A contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties. Once an agreement is signed between two parties, both parties are subject to terms and conditions written in the agreement. As in the above example, Flora agrees to sell harvesters grocery a minimum quantity of fresh fruits and vegetables every week for three months, that means Flora is subject to the agreement that she will sell that no matter what the future market price will be, whether it increases or decreases. As Flora decides not to deliver the agreed order, it is a violation of terms and conditions of the agreement/contract. So the contract is breached.

Answer:

Year 1

Jan. 8. Purchased a used delivery truck for $24,000, paying cash.

Dr Truck 24,000
Cr Cash 24,000

Mar. 7. Paid garage $900 for changing the oil, replacing the oil filter, and tuning the engine on the delivery truck.

Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 900
Cr Cash 900

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the truck for the fiscal year. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years, with a residual value of $4,000 for the truck.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x $24,000 = $12,000

Dr Depreciation expense 12,000
Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 12,000

Year 2

Jan. 9. Purchased a new truck for $50,000, paying cash.

Dr Truck new 50,000
Cr Cash 50,000

Feb. 28. Paid garage $250 to tune the engine and make other minor repairs on the used truck.

Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 250
Cr Cash 250

Apr. 30. Sold the used truck for $9,500. (Record depreciation to date in Year 2 for the truck.)

depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x 4/12 x $12,000 = $2,000

Dr Depreciation expense 2,000
Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 2,000

truck sold at $9,500 - $10,000 (carrying value) = -$500 loss on sale

Dr Cash 9,500
Dr Accumulated depreciation 14,000
Dr Loss on sale - truck 500
Cr Truck 24,000

Dec. 31. Record depreciation for the new truck. It has an estimated residual value of $12,000 and an estimated life of eight years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x $50,000 = $12,500

Dr Depreciation expense 12,500
Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 12,500

Year 3

Sept. 1. Purchased a new truck for $58,500, paying cash.

Dr Truck three 58,500
Cr Cash 58,500

Sept. 4. Sold the truck purchased January 9, Year 2, for $36,000. (Record depreciation to date for Year 3 for the truck.)

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.125 x 8/12 x $37,500 = $6,250

Dr Depreciation expense 6,250
Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck new 6,250

truck sold at $36,000 - $31,250 (carrying value) = $4,750 gain on sale

Dr Cash 36,000
Dr Accumulated depreciation 18,750
Cr Truck new 50,000
Cr Gain on sale - truck new 4,750

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the remaining truck. It has an estimated residual value of $16,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.1 x 4/12 x $58,500 = $3,900

Dr Depreciation expense 3,900
Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck three 3,900

What is the meaning of deplation

slava [35]

Answer: The meaning of depletion to allocate the cost of extracting natural resources like oil and minerals from the earth.

Explanation:

The term depletion is a concept generally we use in tax and accounting.
The meaning of depletion is to move the cost of extracting natural resources like oil and minerals from the earth to the income sheets.
It is a non-cash expense that lowers the cost value of an asset gradually scheduling charges to the income.
To evaluate the depletion per unit we divide the total cost less salvage value by the total number of estimated units.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is (a)- Integrated cost leadership/differentiation.

Explanation:

Companies that integrate strategies instead of relying solely on a generic strategy are able to adapt quickly and learn new technologies. Products manufactured under the leadership of integrated costs-differentiation strategy are less distinctive than differentiators and the costs are not as low as the cost-leader, but combine the advantages of both approaches. A somewhat distinctive product that is mid-range in price can be a big attraction for customers than a cheap generic product or an especially expensive one.
