Answer:

We should accept offer 2 because the amount <u>today</u> is higher than offer 1.  

(offer 1 is $89,500, offer 2 is 91305)

Explanation:

To get the right answer we have to compare the 2 offers in the same moment of time.  We use interest formula to bring the future amount to this moment.  

First offer is for $89,500 today

Second offer is $35,000 today and $70,000 in two years  discount rate is 11.5.

The formula of interest is A=P (1+r)ⁿ

A=Final amount  

P= Principal ( deposit)  

r= interest rate

n= time

We know A, r and n

Looking for P,

then  P= A/(1+r)ⁿ

P= 70000/(1+0,115)² =56305

Offer 2 is =35000+56305=91305

Sidewinder, Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $328,000, depreciation expense of $73,000, interest expense of $38,000, and a
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$86,050

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sales = $634,000

Costs = $328,000

Depreciation expense = $73,000

Interest expense = $38,000

Tax rate = 21 percent

Dividends paid = $68,000

Now,

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $634,000 - $328,000 - $73,000

= $233,000

EBT = EBIT - Interest

= $233,000 -  $38,000

= $195,000

Net income = EBT - Tax

= $195,000 - (0.21 × $195,000)

= $195,000 - $40,950

= $154,050

Addition to retained earnings = Net income - Dividends

= $154,050 - $68,000

= $86,050

Richardson motors uses 10 units of part no. t305 each month in the production of large diesel engines. the cost to manufacture o
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Richardson's opportunity cost is $8,000

Explanation:

If Richardson motors manufacture t305 themselves the total manufacturing cost per unit is $42,400.

Overhead of $24,000 is 1/3 variable and 2/3 of fixed, that means $16,000 of that would continue.

Therefore the avoidable variable manufacturing cost per unit is $24,000+$2000+$400= $26,400.

But, if Richardson Motors decides to buy the t305 from Simpson Castings then the per unit variable cost will be $36,000 ($30,000 purchase price + $6,000 material handling cost applied {i.e 20% X $30,000 per unit}).

Therefore, if they buy from Simpson Castings the per unit cost of the t305 component will no longer be the same. There will be an increase

I.e $36,000-$26,400=$9,600

If they buy 10 units per month, the total cost per month would increase by $9,600 X 10 =$96000.

If Richardson Motors happens to use the idle capacity to manufacture another product that would contribute $104,000 per month, then the opportunity cost would be:

$104,000 - $96,000 = $8,000
