Bottoms Up Diaper Service is considering the purchase of a new industrial washer. It can purchase the washer for $7,200 and sell

its old washer for $2,500. The new washer will last for 6 years and save $1,700 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 15%, and the firm’s tax rate is 40%.
a. If the firm uses straight-line depreciation to an assumed salvage value of zero over a 6-year life, what is the annual operating cash flow of the project in years 0 to 6? The new washer will in fact have zero salvage value after 6 years, and the old washer is fully depreciated. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b. What is project NPV? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

  • Annual operating cash flow of the project in year 1 through 6 is $ 1,500
  • NPV of the project is - $ 23.25

Explanation:

a.

Cost of new washer = $ 7,200

After tax sales value of old washer = $ 2,500 – ($ 2,500 x 0.4)

= $ 2,500 x 0.6 = $ 1,500

Initial investment = Cost of new washer - After tax sales value of old washer

= $ 7,200 - $ 1,500 = $ 5,700

Straight line annual depreciation of washer = Purchase cost/useful life

= $ 7,200/6 = $ 1,200

Annual operating cash flow = (Revenue as cost savings) x (1 – tax rate) + (tax rate x Depreciation)

= $ 1,700 x (1 – 0.4) + (0.4 x $ 1,200)

= $ 1,700 x 0.6 + 0.4 x $ 1,200

= $ 1,020 + $ 480 = $1,500

Cash flow in year 0 is - $ 5,700.

Annual operating cash flow of the project in year 1 through 6 is $ 1,500

b.

NPV = C x PVIFA (i, n) – initial investment  

C = Annual cash flow = $ 1,500

i = Rate of interest = 15 %

n = No. of periods = 6

NPV = $ 15,000 x PVIFA (15 %, 6) - $ 5,700

= $ 15,000 x 3.7845 - $ 5,700  = $ 5,676.75 - $ 5,700

= - $ 23.25

NPV of the project is - $ 23.25

Joe operates a business that locates and purchases specialized assets for clients, among other activities. Joe uses the accrual
babunello [35]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a. No Effect on Taxable Income.

First off Joe's income is only dependent on if the test is successful. Even if it were, the test would only be conducted in year 1 March not in year 0 which is the focus of this question. Taxes are only paid when cash is received.

b. No Effect on Taxable Income.

Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.

c. No effect on Taxable Income

The insurance is not tax deductible.

d. $12,750 in taxable income.

Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income

The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.

If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income

Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.

The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.

h. $345 reduction in taxable income

Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,

= 175 + 95 + 75

= $345.

This is the taxable reduction.

Shawn will pay Craig with a negotiable instrument, and Shawn plans to involve a third party in that process. What instrument sho
masha68 [24]

The instrument that Shawn must use is “payable to the order of” before the name of the payee.

<h3>Requirements of Negotiability </h3>
  • The first of the four major considerations is whether or not a paper is negotiable, and it is one that nonlawyers must address.
  • Auditors, retailers, and financial institutions frequently handle notes and checks and must make quick decisions about negotiability.
  • In a negotiable instrument, the only permissible promise or direction is to pay a particular sum of money. Any other promise or command renders negotiability null and void
  • This restriction exists to prohibit an instrument from having an uncertain value.
  • If the bearer of a negotiable instrument had to examine whether a provision or condition had been met before the thing had any value, the utility of the object as a substitute for money would be severely diminished.

Hence, the instrument that Shawn must use is “payable to the order of” before the name of the payee.

[based on the results of the simulation, can policy market interventions cause a change in consumer or producer surplus? explain
WITCHER [35]

When the intervention rises the price stage of goods, then the incentive to supply extra desires increases and consequently growing manufacturers' surplus. So policy market can motivate both client and producer surplus.

A tax causes consumer surplus and producer surplus (earnings) to fall.. some of those losses are captured inside the tax, however, there may be a loss captured with the aid of no celebration—the value of the devices that could be exchanged had been there no tax. those lost gains from trade are called deadweight losses.

For each monetary transaction, there can be both producer surplus (or profit) and client surplus. The mixture–or blended–a surplus is called the economic surplus.
