Answer:

A. Payback period

  • payback period = 2.875 years, therefore, the project should be accepted because the payback period is less than 3 years.

B. Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

  • IRR = 22.69%, therefore, the project should be accepted since the IRR is higher than the required rate of return (8%).  

C. Simple Rate of Return

  • simple rate of return = 18%, therefore, the project should be accepted because the simple rate of return is higher than the required rate of return.

D. Net Present Value

  • NPV = $4,647.85 , therefore, the project should be accepted since the NPV is positive.

Explanation:

year          cash flow

0                -$10,000

1                  $2,400

2                 $4,800

3                 $3,200

4                 $3,200

5                 $2,800

6                 $2,400

discount rate 8%

I used a financial calculator to determine the NPV and IRR.

Payback period = $10,000 - $2,400 - $4,800 = $2,800 / $3,200 = 0.875

payback period = 2.875 years

simple rate of return:

average cash flow = ($2,400 + $4,800 + $3,200 + $3,200 + $2,800 + $2,400) / 6 = $3,467

depreciation expense per year = $10,000 / 6 = $1,667

simple rate of return = ($3,467 - $1,667) / $10,000 = 18%

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Investment worth now = 3,726 dollars

Explanation:

This is simple question which can easily be understood with the help of following calculations.

Initial Investment = $ 3000  -A

Value increase by 20% = A*1.2 = 3600-B

Value dip by 10% = B*0.9 = 3240-C

Value increase by 15%= C*1.15 = 3726

In this way by applying rate to last determine value we can get current investment worth.

Prepare adjusting entries for the following transactions.
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100
