Answer:

The pertinent focuses for Dan​ Jacobs choice are referenced beneath.  

  • The new hardware would cost GreenLife $4,500,000  
  • The new hardware would twofold the creation yield of the old apparatus  

The expense of new hardware and the expansion in the creation yield by 100% are the future expenses and incomes and thus they are significant for dynamic.  

The old apparatus is bought previously. Consequently, the price tag of the old apparatus is immaterial for dynamic procedure. Tho director ought to consider the resale estimation of old apparatus in the dynamic. Tho resale estimation of old apparatus ought to be deducted from the expense of new hardware so as to ascertain the net money surge to buy the new apparatus.  

The director ought to set up an expense and advantage examination or ascertain NPV (net present estimation) of the venture (capital planning investigation) to introduce it before the leader of the organization. The extra costs identified with extra creation ought to likewise be thought of. This investigation would support the supervisor and the president in dissecting that whether they should buy the new machine or not.

A corporation is authorized to sell 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Today there are 500,000 shares outstanding, and the board
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

35,000 stocks

Explanation:

Dividends can be either distributed in cash or distributed as new stock. In this case the company decided to issue stock instead of cash payments. Since the company has 500,000 outstanding and the board declared a 7% dividend, then 35,000 stocks should be issued (= 500,000 x 7%).

Whether shareholders receive money or stocks, they still have to include the dividends as part of their gross income.

A machine purchased on 1/1/21 for $24,000 and on which $14,400 of Accumulated Depreciation has been recorded through 12/31/23 wa
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Gain on disposal = $7600

Explanation:

As the machine is sold on 1 April 2024, we first need to update the depreciation expense and charge the depreciation to the date. The depreciation has been charged till 1 December 2023. So, we need to charge the depreciation for three more months.

The formula for depreciation expense under straight line method is,

Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life

Depreciation expense per year = (24000 - 0) / 5

Depreciation expense per year =  $4800 per year

Depreciation expense for three months = 4800 * 3/12 = $1200

Accumulated depreciation 1 April 2024 = 14400 + 1200  =  $15600

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the net book value of asset and deduct it from the cash received on disposal.

NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

NBV = 24000 - 15600

NBV = $8400

Gain on disposal = 16000 - 8400

Gain on disposal = $7600
