Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The present value of the contract is 0.5% higher if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month. That is equal to $11.28 for every $100 of rent.

Explanation:

if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month, the present value of the lease contract will be:

PV = monthly rent x PV annuity due factor

we are not given the monthly rent, but we know the PV annuity due factor for 0.5% and 24 periods = 22.67568

if the rent is paid at the end of the month, the PV = monthly rent x PV ordinary annuity factor

the PV ordinary annuity factor, 0.5%, 24 periods = 22.56287

assuming that the rent is $100 (just to calculate a %), the PV of an annuity due = $2,267.57

the PV of an ordinary annuity = $2,256.29

the difference between them = [($2,267.57 / $2,256.29) - 1] x 100 = 0.5%

Answer:

1 and a half months worth of depreciation

Explanation:

The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS. Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Variable costing income statement:

Total unitary variable production cost= (24 + 16 + 2 + 3)= $45

Sales= 73*51,000= 3,723,000

Total variable cost= 51,000*45= (2,295,000)

Contribution margin= 1,428,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (784,000)

Fixed selling and administrative expense= (672,000)

Net operating income= (28,000)

Absorption costing income statement:

Unitary production cost= (24 + 16 + 2) + (784,000/56,000)

Unitary production cost= $56

Sales= 73*51,000= 3,723,000

COGS= 51,000*56= (2,856,000)

Gross profit= 867,000

Total selling and administrative= 672,000 + 3*51,000= (825,000)

Net operating income= 42,000

The difference between both methods is the fixed manufacturing overhead allocated in ending inventory.
