purchased a new piece of equipment for its research lab on January 1, 2015 for $45,200. The equipment is expected to have a usef
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The gain recognized on the equipment is $6,550

Explanation:

A straight-line depreciation method distributes depreciation costs evenly throughout the useful life of the equipment, and depreciation per year using this method is calculated thus:

Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= (45,200 - 6,100) ÷ 4 = 39,100 ÷ 4 = $9,775

This means that each year, the machine depreciates by a value of $9,775.

Next, we are given that the machine was sold for $32,200 after two years, to determine if a profit or loss was made, we will calculate the expected residual value after two years, and find the difference between this value and the selling price. The residual value is calculated thus:

Residual value = Cost of equipment - (depreciation per year × number of years used)

Residual value = 45,200 - ( 9,775 × 2 )

Residual value = 45,200 - 19,550 = $25,650

Difference between residual value and selling price = 32,200 - 25,650 = $6,550 (profit was made since the selling price was higher than the value of the equipment)

Phillips Equipment has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 7.5%. T
ollegr [7]

Answer:

A) 10.15%

Explanation:

Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406

cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769

cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075

 outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million

bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million

preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million

corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38

total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75

WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}

WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}

WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$85

Explanation:

Costco Medical Supply's inventory:

                   Surgical Eq - Surgical Supp - Rehab Eq - Rehab Supp

Selling price     $260                  $100           $340               $165

Cost                  $170                     $90           $250              $162

Costs to sell     $30                      $15              $25                 $10

If we apply the net realizable value rule, the value of surgical supplies would be:

NRV = $100 = $15 = $85

the NRV is also the lower of cost since $85 < $90

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The demand for pork would decrease and the equilibrium price of pork would decrease.

Explanation:

Substitute goods are goods that can be consumed in place of each other.

If the price of chicken falls, consumers would increase the quantity demanded of chicken and reduce their demand for pork. The fall in the demand for pork would lead to a leftward shift in the demand curve for pork. A leftward shift in the demand curve while the supply curve remains unchanged would lead to a fall in equilibrium price of pork.
