<span>The manager will weigh the pros and cons of each alternative before implementing the solution. The manager should look at each alternative and list the benefits and the negatives for each alternative. After reviewing the list of benefits and negatives for each alternative, the manager can eliminate the alternatives that possess too many negatives or cons. The alternatives with the most benefits should be considered more carefully. The manager should then implement the alternatives with the most benefits or pros on a trial basis. The alternative with the best results is the one that is deemed useful, permanent and beneficial to the company.</span>

An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000, and it h

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

purchase price $60,000

estimated useful life 14 years

residual value $12,000

depreciation expense using straight line method:

using straight line = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57

depreciation during year 3 = $3,428.57

book value at end of year 5 = $60,000 - ($3,428.57 x 5) = $42,857.15

depreciation expense using SL method and 200% DB method with switchover to SL:

year 1 = $60,000 x 2 x 1/14 = $8,571.43

year 2 = $51,428.57 x 2 x 1/14 = $7,346.94

year 3 = $44,081.63 x 2 x 1/14 = $6,297.38

year 4 = $37,784.25 x 2 x 1/14 = $5,397.75

year 5 = $32,386.50 x 2 x 1/14 = $4,626.64

book value at end of year 5 = $27,759.86

Since the depreciation expense using double balance with switchover to straight line is higher during the first years, then the company should use that method. One extra dollar in depreciation expense = one less dollar in taxable income. It is usually better pay less taxes today than tomorrow.

Write a ratio for the situation in three ways, comparing the first quantity to the second quantity. a zoo has 14 monkeys and 18

elixir [45]

Answer:

1)14 to 28

14:28

14/28

2) 1 to 9

1:9

1/9

3) 3 equivalent ratios are : 2/18,1/9, 3/27

4) On this case would be 12/36 and if we divide numerator and denominator by 6 we got 2/6, and if we divide by 2 we got 1/3 simplified

Explanation:

Previous concepts

A ratio represent "the relative sizes of two or more values."

"Ratios can be shown in different ways:

• using the ":" to separate example values

• using the "/" to separate one value from the total

• as a decimal, after dividing one value by the total

• as a percentage, after dividing one value by the total"

Part 1

14 monkeys and 18 chimpanzees.

And we need to write the situation in 3 ways comapring the first quantity to the second quantity, and the correct way to do this is:

14 to 28

14:28

14/28

Part 2

In largo city, about one in every nine homes contains four televisions

And we need to write the situation in 3 ways comapring the first quantity to the second quantity, and the correct way to do this is:

1 to 9

1:9

1/9

Part 3

Write three ratios equal to 4/36

On this case is we divide numerator and denominator by 2 we got 2/18

And if we divide the numerator and denominator by 4 we got 1/9

and if we divide the numerator and denominator by 4 and then we multiply by 3 we got 3/27

So then 3 equivalent ratios are : 2/18,1/9, 3/27

Part 4

Jake sold 36 tickets to the school fair Jeanne sold 12 tickets. What is the ratio, in simplest form, of the number of tickets Jeanne sold to the number of tickets Jake sold?

On this case would be 12/36 and if we divide numerator and denominator by 6 we got 2/6, and if we divide by 2 we got 1/3 simplified

Ruby is 25 and has a good job at a biotechnology company. She currently has $10,000 in an IRA, an important part of her retireme

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

a. How much will Ruby’s IRA be worth when she needs to start withdrawing money from it when she retires?

the future value of Ruby's IRA = $10,000 x 21.725 (FV factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $217,250

b. How much money will she have to accumulate in her company’s 401(k) plan over the next 40 years in order to reach her retirement income goal?

she needs to accumulate $875,000 - $217,250 = $657,750 during the next 40 years

the annual contribution = FV / FV annuity factor = $657,750 / 259.057 (FV annuity factor, 8%, 40 periods) = $2,539.02 per year

CDF Inc. is contemplating the acquisition of Pogo Company. The values of the two companies as separate entities are $20 million

S_A_V [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. What is the gain from merger?

This will be calculated by dividing the cost savings by the opportunity cost of capital. This will be:

= $500,000 / 10%

= $500,000 / 0.1

= $5,000,000

= $5 million

b. What is the cost of the cash offer?

This will be the difference between the cash cash paid and the value of the firm acquired which will be:

= $14 million - $10 million

= $4 million

c. What is the cost of the sock alternative?

First, we calculate the value of the merged company which will be:

= $20 million + $10 million + $5 million

= $35 million

Then, cost of stock alternative will be:

= (35 million x 55%) – $10 million

= ($35 million × 0.55) - $10 million

= $19.25 million - $10 million

= $9.25 million

d. What is the NPV of the acquisition under the cash offer?

This will be:

= $5 million - $4 million

= $1 million

e. What is the NPV under the stock offer?

This will be:

= $5 million - $9.25 million

= -$4.25 million
