sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

A. $191,818

B. $303

C. Loss; $11,515

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine what The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Therefore the Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 will be $191,818

B. Calculation to determine what The cost recovery deduction for 2020 is

Cost recovery deduction for 2020= ($200,000 x .03636 x 0.5 / 12)

Cost recovery deduction for 2020=$303

Therefore The Cost recovery deduction for 2020 is $303

C. Calculation to determine what The____on the sale of the asset in 2020 is

Based on the information given we would be using 0.3636 as the percentage for 27.5-year assets.

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Less Cost recovery for 2020 $303

($200,000 * .03636 * 0.5 / 12)

Basis on date of sale $191,515

($191,818-$303)

Loss on sale of asset ($11,515)

($180,000 – $191,515)

Therefore The LOSS on the sale of the asset in 2020 is $11,515

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payme

mezya [45]

Answer: a. $120,000

b. $6,000

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.

If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.

That amount would be,

= $60,000 * 2

= $120,000

b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.

The amount saved therefore is,

= 120,000 * 5%

= $6,000

By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.

c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.

As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

Given your understanding of cash flow, financial statements, ratio analysis and time value of money, provide an example of why t

Alla [95]

Answer:

The best example I can think of that would integrate all of these concepts is when a business is looking to finance some sort of project and they are seeking financing either through the issuance of bonds or a loan from a bank. Some of the concepts would be important to both parties, while others would be more important to one than the other.

Cash Flow

This would be important to both parties. The business, to make sure they have enough cash flow to pay for the financing. And the financiers, for the same reason.

Ratio Analysis

This would be important to both parties for the same reason as above. Especially the "current ratio" (current assets / current liabilities) and the "working capital" ratio (current assets - current liabilities).

Financial Statements

This would be of most importance to the financiers. They would want to see the total picture of a company's financial strength.

Time Value of Money

This would be of most importance to the company itself. They would want to know if the project was worth the total amount they would be paying on the bonds or the loan
