Answer:

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to a. 18.1%

Explanation:

Assuming that the company uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense per year is calculated by following formula:

Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value)/Useful Life  = ($243,000 - 0)/9 = $27,000

If Ro Corporation uses the new machine, the company would save $69,000 per year in cash operating costs. Net income from the machine per year = $69,000 - $27,000 = $42,000

Total investment on the machine = $243,000 - $11,000 = $232,000

Return on investment (ROI) = Net income/Total investment  x 100% = $42,000/$232,000 x 100% = 18.1%

1. On June 30, 2018, the Johnstone Company purchased equipment from Genovese Corp. Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $21,000 on t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

$58,002.60

Explanation:

First, it is clear to include the $21,000 as part of the value of the equipment.

Now, the $9,000 annual payment after every year for six years need to be presented in its present value, meaning what is the value of those future amounts of $9,000 on June 30, 2018.

To calculate the present value of annuity (annuity means constant and equal payments) for those 6 payments of $9,000, we would need the Present Value Factor which is supplied from the Present Value Table.

Looking at 12% for 6 periods ("six annual installments") on the table, it gives the PV factor of 4.1114.

Just multiply $9,000 by 4.1114 and we get 37,002.60

Finally add the downpayment of $21,000 with the present value $37,002.60 and we would get the total value of the equipment of 58,002.60

dexar [7]

Answer:

The answer is: D) a,b, and c

Explanation:

Significant financial interest (SFI) is anything of monetary value, whether that value can be determined or not, that belongs to: an investigator, the investigator's spouse, or any dependent children.

When an investigator receives funding from the NIH it must complete a Declaration Form including all the SFI acquired or discovered in the past year.  

Even if the stock worth only $1, it still has monetary value. The same for the $4000 paid to him for consulting work and the royalties worth $10,000.
