Given the following two potential locations to construct an urgent care, use incremental B/C ratio to determine which location,
White raven [17]

Answer:

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Explanation:

The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula

\Delta BC_R = \frac{AW_B-AW_D-AW_M}{AW_i}

AW_C=1,000,000(A/P, 8% , 10)

⇒ AW_C= 1,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^1^0}

⇒ AW_2=2,000,000(A/P, 8%, 20)

⇒ AW_2= 2,000,000 \times \frac{0.08}{1-1.08^-^2^0}

⇒AW_C_2 = $203,704.42

Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49

= $ 54,674.93

Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000

Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000

Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000

\Delta BC_R = \frac{60,000-50,000-(-5000)}{54,674.93} \\\\\Delta BC_R=0.2743

All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.

The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

lianna [129]

Answer: $20.44

Explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that Best Ever Toys just paid its annual dividend of $1.78 per share and that the required return is 10.6% and the dividend growth rate is 1.23%, then the expected value of this stock five years from now will be:

= [$1.78 × (1 + 1.23%)^6] / (10.6% - 1.23%)

= (1.78 × 1.0123^6)/(10.6% - 1.23%)

= 20.44

The expected value of the stock is $20.44

The cost constraint suggests that, even when the cost of providing accounting information exceeds its benefit, the financial acc
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The GAAP established that when the benefits of obtaining accounting information are lower than the costs of providing that information, the information should not be provided.

For example, sometimes there are very small differences in certain accounts that don't allow a balance sheet to be balanced. If the accounting error is very small, e.g. just a few hundred dollars, then it is not reasonable to have a whole audit team check all the financial statements again to determine what caused the error. An adjusting entry could be made to close the account balances.

Imagine you are an auditor that must check the physical inventory of a factory and some boxes containing supplies are misplaced. It might take you a whole day to count again all the supplies and materials, but is it worth it? If the supplies were really expensive, probably yes, but if they were cheap components, then probably no.

What is the present value of the cost of leasing?

Answer:

Cost of lease = $37,179.01

Explanation:

Leasing is a finance arrangement where one party (the lessor) transfers the right to use an asset to another party (the leasse) in exchange for a rent.

The cost of a lease to the leasee is the present value of the future lease payment  discounted at the cost of capital.

So using the present value of annuity formula, we can work out the cost of the lease arrangement as follow:

PV =A×  (1- 1+r)^(-n)/r

PV- Present Value

r- interest rate

n- number of years

A- annual lease payment

PV -

A-7,800

r-7%

n-6

PV = 7,800× (1- (1.07)^(-6)/0.07 =  37,179.01  

Present Value = $37,179.01

Cost of lease = $37,179.01
