Your firm is considering opening a branch office in Kyle. The office would cost $485,000 to build the office. During the office

wariber [46]

Answer:

The NPV from opening the branch office is negative ( -$106668.08). Thus the branch office should not be opened.

Explanation:

The decision to open the branch office will be taken based on the NPV provided by opening of the branch office. If the NPV of a project is positive based on the required rate of return used as a discount rate fro cash flows, the investment is worth undertaking.

The net present value (NPV) for a project can be calculated as,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)² + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay

Where,

r is the appropriate discount rate
Initial Outlay is the Initial cost of the project
CF represents cash flows from the project

As the required return is 16%, we will take this as the appropriate discount rate.

NPV = 45000 / (1+0.16) + 120000 / (1+0.16)² + 150000 / (1+0.16)³ +

150000 / (1+0.16)^4 + 150000 / (1+0.16)^5 - 485000

NPV = - $106668.08

As the NPV from project is negative at a required return of 16%, the project should not be under taken and the branch office should not be open.

Rockeagle Corporation began fiscal Year 2 with the following balances in its inventory accounts.

irinina [24]

Answer:

I solved this manually. please try to follow up with the calculations.

ending inventory balance of

a. Raw material = $31000

b. work in progress = $49000

c. finished goods = $19000

Explanation:

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>raw</u><u> </u><u>material</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

balance at beginning 30,000 + purchase of 125000 - issue of 124000

= 30000+125000-124000

= 31,000

the ending balance is 31000

<u>for work in progress inventory:-</u>

beginning inventory 45000 + 124000 current cost of issued material + 162000 direct wages + overhead 24000

= 45000+124000+162000+24000

= $355000

we subtract 306000 costs of goods manufactured from this value

= $355000-306000

= 49000 wip ending balance

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>finish</u><u>ed</u><u> </u><u>goods</u><u> </u><u>inven</u><u>tory</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

begining inventory 14000 + 306000 costs of goods manufactured - 301000 costs of goods sold

= 14000+306000-301000

= $19000

<u>2</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>schedule</u><u> for</u><u> </u><u>costs</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>goods</u><u> </u><u>manu</u><u>factured</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

beginning inventory 30000 + purchase 125000 - ending inventory

= 30000+125000-31000

= 124000

124,000+162000 labour cost+24000

<u>total cost of manufacturing = 310000</u>

310000+begining wip of 45,000 - ending inventory of 49000

= 310000+45000-49000

= 306,000 costs of goods manufactured

we add this value to beginning inventory of finished goods-ending inventory

= 306000+14000-19000

= $301000 costs of goods sold

3. income statement:-

revenue of 400000 - 301000 costs of good sold = 99000

99000-36000 selling expenses

= $63000

How can a country gain from specialization and trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolut

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.

It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
