A few of the tools economists use to evaluate the macroeconomy are supply and demand graphs, unemployment charts, and inflation vs. deflation graphs. They measure this by Gross Domestic Product(GDP), a national pole of who is employed, and also consumer reports to see what is being purchased most versus least.

Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $150,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 15,000 ope

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

(a). Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

(b). 1st Year Depreciation = $20,000

for 2nd year depreciation = $26,000

(c) 1st year Depreciation= $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = $36,000

Explanation:

a).

Annual Depreciation of Equipment = (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life of Equipment

= ($150,000 - $30,000) ÷ 5

= $24,000

Rate of Straight Line Depreciation = Annual Depreciation of Equipment ÷ (Cost of Equipment - Residual Value) × 100

= 24,000 ÷ ( $150,000 - 30,000) × 100

= $24,000 ÷ $120,000 × 100 = 20%

Depreciation for 1st year= $24,000

Depreciation for 2nd year= $24,000

b). Unit Of Production For 1st Year Depreciation= (Cost Of Equipment -Residual Value) × Annual Production Units ÷ Total Operating Hours

= ($150,000 - $30,000) × 2,500 ÷ 15,000 = $20,000

Unit of Production for 2nd year depreciation = ( $150,000 - $30,000) × 32,50 ÷ 15,000

= $26,000

c). Declining Balance Depreciation Rate = Straight Line Depreciation Rate × 2

= 20% × 2 = 40% (Because Declining Balance at Twice the Straight Line Rate)

1st year Depreciation= $150,000 × 40÷100 = $60,000

2nd year Depreciation = ($150,000 - $60,000) × 40÷100 =$36,000

Consider two of the income security programs in the United States: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Earned

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a. When a woman with children and very low income earns an extra dollar, she receives less in TANF benefits. This feature of TANF will cause the labor supply of low-income women to be LOWER. One of the most important characteristics of TANF is that as the beneficiary starts to earn money, they start losing benefits. The more money they earn, the less benefits they receive.

b. The EITC provides greater benefits as low-income workers earn more income (up to a point).

True

This feature of EITC will decrease the labor supply of low-income workers. b. False

Earned income tax credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit aimed at low income workers (and low middle income workers) with children. The tax credit received by the beneficiaries of this program depend on their income levels and number of children. E.g. during 2020, the EITC for joint filers earning up to $52,493 and having 2 children is $5,828. This program increases the labor supply of low income workers, it doesn't decrease it. If you do not work, you do not receive EITC.

Answer:

npv = $92,531.34

NPV = -$13,206.90

Project A should be chosen because it has a higher NPV

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

Perit Industries has $210,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are: Project A Project B Cost of equipment required $210,000 $0 Working capital investment required $0 $210,000 Annual cash inflows $30,000 $52,000 Salvage value of equipment in six years $9,100 $0 Life of the project 6 years 6 years The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 15%. Click here to view Exhibit 11B-1 and Exhibit 11B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables. Required: a. Calculate net present value for each project. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s).) b. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept? Project B Project A

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Project A

Cash flow in year 0 = $-210,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $30,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $30,000 + $9100 = $39,100

I = 15%

npv = $92,531.34

Project B

Cash flow in year 0 = $-210,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 6 = $52,000

I = 15%

NPV = -$13,206.90

Project A should be chosen because it has a higher NPV
