Kahn Company paid $240,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, Year 1. During Year 3, a technological breakthrough resulted in t

he development of a new machine that costs $300,000. The old machine costs $100,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $36,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, year 3, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $80,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.
Required:

Answer:

Yes, the machine should be replaced

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Particulars              old Machine            New machine

Purchase price                                       $300,000

Less:

Salvage value                                        -$80,000

Operating cost         $400,000              $144,000

                          ($100,000 × 4 )        ($36,000 × 4)

Total cost                 $400,000                $364,000

So, the financial advantage is

= $400,000 - $364,000

= $36,000

Since there is a financial advantage of $36,000 so the old machine should be replaced with the new machine

Sebastian purchases two pieces of equipment for $100,000. Appraisals of the equipment indicate that the fair market value of the
Schach [20]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000

II. Acquire the data

III. Develop the model

IV. Implement the Model.

V. Do the results look right.

Explanation:

The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.

The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;

1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.

2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.

3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.

4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.

Hence, the fundamental steps of the problem solving process in the correct order are;

I. Identify what is the problem

II. Acquire the data

III. Develop the model

IV. Implement the Model.

V. Do the results look right.

Restaurant A uses 60 bags of tomatoes each month. The tomatoes are purchased from a supplier for a price of $80 per bag and an o
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 60 bags

cost = 80 / bag

s = 20 / order

h = 40% of cost

     0.4 * 80 / 100

h= 32 unit/year

D =  d * 12 months

D = 60 * 12

D = 720 bags / year

EOQ = \sqrt{2DS/H}

EOQ = \sqrt{2 *720*20/32}

EOQ = 30 bags

Total cost =  Total holding cost + total ordering cost

Total holding cost  = (Q/2 * H) = (30/2 * 32) = 480

Total ordering cost =  (D/Q * 20) = (720/30 *20) = 480

Total cost = 480 + 480 = 960

Total purchasing cost  = cost * D = 80 * 720 = 57.600

Percentage= total cost  / total purchasing cost  * 100

960 / 57.600 * 100

1.67 %
