4 0

Answer:

$31,000

Explanation:

Given:

Net Proceeds of old house = $266,000

Adjusted basis amount = $235,000

Cost of new house = $198,000

Computation of Capital Gain:

Capital Gain = Selling Price of particular capital - Adjusted basis amount of capital

Capital gain = $266,000 - $235,000 = $31,000

Therefore, capital gain of Elizabeth from sold her home is $31,000

A company's product sells at $12.30 per unit and has a $5.45 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $96,500
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 14,088 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company's product sells at $12.30 per unit and has a $5.45 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $96,500.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 96,500/ (12.3 - 5.45)

Break-even point in units= 14,088 units

Justin Slugger is about to sign a contract with the Columbus Homers. The professional baseball team has given him two options of
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18

Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64

Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.

Explanation:

To decide the better option, we need to calculate the present value of option 1 which is the lumpsum and the present value of option 2 which is an annuity and compare these values.

The present value of option 1 can be calculated as follows,

Option 1 Present value = Future value / (1 + r)^t

Where,

  • r is the rate of return of interest or discount rate
  • t is the time in years

Option 1 Present value = 20,000,000 / (1+0.1)^1

Option 1 Present value = $18,181,818.18

The present value of option 2 can be calculate using the formula of present value of annuity due as the payments will be made at the start of the period. The formula for present value of annuity due is attached.

Option2 Present value = 2,500,000 + 2,500,000 * [(1 - (1+0.1)^-14) / 0.1]

Option2 Present value = $20,916,718.64

Option 2 which is an annuity for 15 years is a better option as it has a higher present value than option 1.

The Kitchen Company makes toaster ovens and bread machines. Toaster ovens Sales price per unit: $60 Variable costs per unit: $38
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The company should produce 7,500 bread machines to maximize profit

Explanation:

Given:

                                                                      Toaster Ovens Bread Machines

         Sales Price per unit                                     60                           135

Less: variable cost per unit                                   38                           75

Contribution Margin per unit                                22                           60

Machine hours per unit                                            1                           2

Now,

Contribution Margin per Machine Hour = \frac{\textup{Contribution Margin per unit}}{\textup{Machine hours per unit}}

thus,

Contribution Margin per Machine Hour        22                           30

Since,

The Contribution Margin per Machine Hour for the bread is more, therefore to maximize profits the kitchen company should produce Breads machines.

also,

Number of units to be produced = \frac{\textup{Machine hours}}{\textup{Machine hours required}}

= \frac{\textup{15,000}}{\textup{2}}

= 7,500 units

On July1, 2018, Morrow Inc. purchased a spooler at a cost of $40,000. The equipment is expected to last five years and have a re
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Depreciation for 2018 = $16,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $24,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $14,400

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Depreciation for 2018 = $12,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $28,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $18,400

Explanation:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the double-declining-balance method.

Double-declining-balance method can be described as a depreciation technique in which the rate at which an asset is depreciated is twice depreciation rate for the straight line depreciation method.

The double-declining-balance depreciation rate for Morrow Inc. can therefore be calculated as follows:

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of expected useful years = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 20% * 2 = 40%

The 40% double-declining depreciation rate is what is employed in part 1 of the attached excel file table.

Note:

Although this is not part of the question but it will be useful for you in the future. The depreciation expenses for year 2022 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $4,000 from the 2022 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $5,184 - $4,000 = $1,184). The residual value of $4,000 therefore represents the book value at the end of year 2022.

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the sum-of-year digits method.

The sum-of-year digits method can be described as a depreciation method that accelerates deprecation by assuming that an asset’s productivity falls with the passage of time.

Under the sum-of-year digits method, the remaining useful life of the asset at the beginning of the period is divided by the sum of the year's digits to obtain the deprecation rate for that period.

For this question, the Sum of year digits used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:

SYD = Sum of year digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

Why does the adoption of new technology tend to increase supply?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

New technology allows firms to produce at a lower cost. As a result, as firms adopt a new technology, their cost curves shift downward. Market supply increases, and the market supply curve shifts rightward. With a given demand, the quantity produced increases and the price falls.
