Answer:

(B) Hire the firefighter if the cost of the new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Explanation:

The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Since $5 x 15000 residents = $75, 000.

Therefore it is still beneficial to hire a new firefighter if the cost is less than $75, 000

Answer:

book value = $13,200 (purchase price) + $4,200 (paint) + $2,300 (accessories) = $19,700

useful life 5 years, salvage value $5,100

assuming the company uses straight line depreciation:

depreciation per year = ($19,700 - $5,100) / 5 years = $2,920 per year

the journal entries to record the purchase of the vehicle and the improvements are:

July 1, 2022, vehicle is purchased

Dr Suburban SUV 13,200

    Cr Cash 13,200

July 1, 2022, vehicle's paint and accessories

Dr Suburban SUV 6,500

    Cr Cash 6,500

the journal entry to record depreciation expense ($2,920 x 6 months)

December 31, 2022, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense 1,460

    Cr Accumulated depreciation - Suburban SUV 1,460

the journal entry to record insurance expense ($2,100 x 6 months)

December 31, 2022, insurance expense

Dr Insurance expense 1,050

    Cr Prepaid insurance 1,050

harina [27]

The equivalent annual costs of each model are as follows:

                                                Model A       Model B

Equivalent annual costs     $2,389.26   $3,008.47

Data and Calculations:

                                              Model A       Model B

Costs of motorcycle              $8,200        $13,600

Expected years of usage      7 years        9 years

Annual maintenance costs    $760          $740

Cost of capital = 9%

Annuity factor                       5.03295        5.99524

PV of annual maintenance  $3,825.04   $4,436.48

Total NPV of costs             $12,025.04  $18,036.48

Equivalent annual costs   $2,389.26  $3,008.47

                          ($12,025.04/5.03295)  ($18,036.48/5.99524)

Thus, the equivalent annual costs of each model are the dividend of the Total NPV costs divided by the Annuity Factor.
