The amount of profit that a company forgoes when it decides to drop a particular product line in favor of another one, this describes the opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost is defined as the benefit you could receive, but you chose another action. For example if you have $1000<span> and you have two choices, either to buy shares from x company or invest in another y company. If x company will give you 10% and y will give you 5% and you chose the x company for your benefit but however x company returns only 2% when you could have had 5% from the y company. So your opportunity cost is 5% - 2% = 3%</span>

Kitty [74]

Answer:

A...=$6.6; B=$3,696 and $5,280

Explanation:

A. To calculate the predetermined factory overhead rate,

Given

overhead costs = $660,000

Direct labor hours = 100,000.

overhead rate = overhead cost/labor hours

= $660,000/100000

=$6.6

B. To calculate the amount of factory overhead applied to Job 345 if the amount of direct labor hours is 560 and Job 777 if the amount of direct labor hours is 800

Given

Job 345 direct labor hours is 560

Job 777 direct labor hours is 800

Therefore

Factory overhead for job 345 = direct labor hours × predetermined factory overhead rate

= 560hours × $6.6

=$3,696

Factory overhead for job 777 = direct labor hours × predetermined factory overhead rate

= 800hours × $6.6

=$5,280

C. Journal entry for April

Add the overheads the two current jobs

$3,696 + $5,280= $8,976

Now record $8,976 in debit column against current work

record $8,976 in credit column against factory overhead

Account debit credit

1. current work $8,976

2. factory overhead $8,976

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Project A Project B

Initial investments ($170,000) ($115,000)

CF Year 1 $42,500 $34,500

CF Year 2 $58,500 $52,500

CF Year 3 $82,795 $68,500

CF Year 4 $92,900 $68,500

CF Year 5 $67,500 $68,500

using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function, the internal rate of return of each project is:

Project A's IRR = 26.02%
Project B's IRR = 36.31%

We can use the discount rate (12%) to calculate the projects' NPV, we do not need it to calculate their IRR:

Project A's NPV = $70,855
Project B's NPV = $88,815

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000

Explanation:

Rayya Co. uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life = ($105,000 - $0)/7 = $15,000

In 2023, the machine is used for 6 months (half year)

Depreciation Expense = $15,000/2 = $7,500

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account $7,500

On July 1, 2023, Accumulated depreciation = $15,000 x 4 + $7,500 = $67,500

Carrying amount of the machine = $105,000 - $67,500 = $37,500

(1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $45,500 - $37,500 = $8,000>0

=> The company recognizes gain on the sales $8,000

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $25,000 - $37,500 = -$12,500<0

=> The company recognizes loss on the sales $12,500

The entry should be made:

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000
