Answer:

Option A: [Overstated , No effect]

Explanation:

December 31, 20X1: Overstated; January 2, 20X7: No effect

Our term period is from January 2, Year 4 to January 2, Year 10.

\therefore  Total Term = 6 years.

The straight-line method uses a constant expense for the whole term, whereas, the effective-interest method uses a gradually increasing expense.

Let, us calculate the carrying amount with both approaches

After 1st Year:

Carrying amount on 2-Jan-Year1 = $1,000,000 - $150,000

Carrying amount on Year 1 = $850,000

Discount Amortization will be:

By Straight-Line Method = $150,000 / 6 yrs  

By Straight-Line Method = $25,000 / yr

By Effective-Interest Method = ($850,000 * 12%) - ($1,000,000 * 8%)

By Effective-Interest Method = $22,000

Carrying amount on 31-Jan-Year1:

By Straight-Line Method = $850,000 + $25,000

By Straight-Line Method = $875,000

By Effective-Interest Method = $850,000 + $22,000

By Effective-Interest Method = $872,000

Difference of carrying  value (Straight-line vs Effective Interest) will be obtained by subtracting.

\therefore  Difference in Carrying Value = $875,000 - $872,000

   Difference in Carrying Value = $3,000

Hence, for 1 Year period, straight-line method gives an overstatement as compared to effective-interest method.

After 6 Years:

For both approaches, the total carrying amounts at the term's end must be equal. As the same total discount amortization will occur under each method.

Hence, for 6 years period, use of any method will have no effect on the carrying amount.

Answer:

The Net Present Value is - $20324

Explanation:    

We can use our financial calculator to work out the NPV using the cashflows from the different periods and using the discount rate given. Which is 18%.

We have 11 periods. Starting off with CF 0. ( CF = cashflow ) We will work in Thousands to make it easier to read and compute. $ ' 000

CF 0 Machine Investment (750) Working Capital Investment (25) Total=(775)

CF 1 160 inflow

CF 2 160 inflow

CF 3 160 inflow

CF 4 160 inflow

CF 5 160 inflow

CF 6 160 inflow

CF 7 160 inflow

CF 8 160 inflow

CF 9 160 inflow

CF 10 160 inflow

CF 11 160 inflow. 35 salvage value from machine. Working capital 25. Total Cashlow = 220

We now use our financial calculator and input these amounts into the calculator.

We start of by entering the data and hitting ENT and do so for every Cash flow. At the end we press 2nd function CFI on our calculator. We then enter the discount rate of 18%. and press down button to get to NPV and then press COMP.

We get an answer of -20,32400407

We now need to put the amount into thousands. Thus = -20324,004

rounded to the nearest dollar we get - $ 20324
