Answer:

Sell now, the company will be better off by $18200

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Sales value after processing the product (26,000 × $14)   $364,000

Less: sales value   (26,000 × $8) $208,000

Increase in advantage due to processing $156,000

Less: processing cost ($174,200)

Net disadvantage of processing the product ($18,200)

As we can see the final answer comes in negative which means the product should be sold now

If you are going to receive $70,000 for 20 years starting 5 years from now, what is the present value of the cash flows discount
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

336,405.28

Explanation:

Present value can be found by discounting the cash flows at the discount rate.

Present value can be found using a financial calculator:

Cash flow from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow from year 5 -25 = $70,000

Discount rate = 12%

Present value = $336,405.28

G dixon company produced 6,000 units of product that required 1.5 standard hours per unit. the standard fixed overhead cost per
sweet [91]
Given:
Actual Production 6,000 units @ 1.5 standard hours per unit.
Budgeted hours: 10,000 
Fixed overhead cost per unit is $0.50 per hour.

6000 units * 1.5 std. hrs/unit = 9,000 hours

Actual hours: 9,000 hours * $0.50 per hour = $4,500
Budgeted hours: 10,000 hours * $0.50 per hour = $5,000

Fixed Factory Overhead Volume Variance = $5,000 - $4,500 = $500 UNFAVORABLE. 

It is unfavorable because the production is inefficient. It is more favorable if the produced units are higher than 6,000 units and the actual hours of production are more than the budgeted hours of production.

You run the Social Security Administration. What about this chart might worry you?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The amount of taxpayers that are part of the "older generation" is slowly rising and is higher than the amount in 1997.

Explanation:

Remember to run a successful government, you must have the income in which to run the government programs. Most of these funds come from taxpayer's. In this case, it is clear that younger people generally make more as well as are generally healthy, leading to a large amount of input of money into the government, with fewer withdrawals. This would give a huge boost to the government budget. Older people on the other hand tend to not work as much, so their taxes are generally lower. They also withdraw more from the Government through Social Security, and so leaves the government with a negative balance from them in most cases.

The chart on the other hand shows a <em>increase of percentage of older people</em>, which leaves a large gap in between the surplus and the spending, leading to a decrease of funding for the government. If this continues, the government would lose money, and would have to cut programs or face collapse. To fix this, they either have to, like stated above, cut programs, or give more taxes. Both are unacceptable to the American Public, which is what makes the government, as well as the average citizen, worried about the US government's funding surplus.

irina [24]

Answer:

$119.97

Explanation:

Given,

The weekend daily rate for the rental cost = $39.99
