Answer:

$71,350

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A farmer has been given the opportunity to become a part owner in a local fertilizer business. If the farmer becomes an owner of the fertilizer business, he will receive $4,000 each year from the firm's profits. In addition, the farmer will receive a discount on fertilizer and he believes the discount will reduce his fertilizer costs by $2,000 per year. The farmer plans to retire in 25 years and thinks he can sell his equity in the fertilizer business for $50,000.

Calculate the market value of this investment if the market rate of return on comparable investments is 8%

The market value can be found by calculating the present value of the cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow each year from year one to twenty four = $4000+$2000=$6000

Cash flow in year twenty five = $6000 + $50,000 = $56,000

I = 8%

Present value = $71,350

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

lubasha [3.4K]

Stone Foods produces the majority of its cheese products in its U.S. based dairy division at a total outlay cost of $6.00 per unit. A large portion of the finished product is sold to Division B where it is packaged and sold overseas under a different label. The tax rate in Division B's country is higher than the U.S. tax rate. Assume the company desires to minimize the overall tax impact of the transfer (i) what type of relative pre-tax income should each division desire to achieve as a result of the transfer and (ii) what type of transfer price would accomplish your answer to (i).  

Dairy Division Income Division B Income Transfer Price .

Option  "D"  is the correct answer -  High Low High.

Explanation:

Since in Division B, the tax rate is higher than the tax rate in US-based dairy division. Therefore to minimize the impact of the overall tax, transfer price from dairy division should be high to Division B so that the dairy division income would be higher. and the income of Division B would be lower.

Hence option  "D" is the correct answer.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A) 1.79

b) 71%

c) 0.75 minutes

d) 0.537 minutes

e) 0.343, 0.240 , 0.1681

Explanation:

L = average number of customers in the system ( 200 / 80 ) = 2.5

a = poission distribution per hour = 200

b = service rate of cashier = 280

A) average number of moviegoers waiting in line to purchase ticket

Lq = L - \frac{a}{b} = 2.5 - (200/280) = 2.5 - 0.71 = 1.79

B) percentage of cashier been busy

p = a/b = 0.71 = 71%

C) average time spent by a customer in the system

w = L / a = 2.5 / 200 = 0.0125 hours = 0.75 minutes

D) average time spent waiting in line to get to the ticket window ?

W2 = Lq / a = 1.79 / 200 = 0.00895 hours = 0.537 minutes

E) probabilities of people in the system

i) more than two people

p ( x ≥ 2 ) = 1 - ( p0 + p1 + p2 ) = 1 - 0.657 = 0.343

more than three people

ii) p ( x ≥ 3 ) = 1 - (p0 + p1 + p2 + p3 ) = 1 - 0.7599 = 0.240

iii) more than four people

p ( x ≥ 4 ) = 1 - ( p0 - p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 ) = 1 - 0.8319 = 0.1681

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

a. $180,850

b. $390,269

c. $74,837

Explanation:

a. The computation of the manufacturing overhead is shown below:

= Factory utilities  + Depreciation on factory equipment + Property taxes on factory building  + Indirect factory labor  + Indirect materials + Factory repairs+ Factory manager salary

=  $16,120  + $13,703 + $2,894 + $52,814 + $83,926 + $3,044  + $8,349

= $180,850

b. The computation of the product cost is shown below:

= Direct materials used + Direct labor +  manufacturing overhead

= $139,734 + $69,685 + $180,850

= $390,269

c. The computation of the period cost is shown below:

= Sales salaries + Depreciation on delivery trucks + Repairs to office equipment +  Advertising + Office supplies used

= $49,631 + $4,044 + $2,185 + $15,670 + $3,307

= $74,837

Aurora Corporation operated without insurance coverage for the first month of 2019. Then, on February 1, 2019, the company paid
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Correct answer is letter B, $2,200

Explanation:

Using accrual basis method, revenue and expenses will be recognized when incurred.

The $4,800 is a 24 months policy, therefore we must compute the insurance expense applicable for the year covering from February 1 to December 31 (11 months)

An adjusting entry to recognize the expire portion of the insurance must be done at the year end in the amount of $2,200.

($4,800 / 24 months = $200 x 11 months = $2,200)
