appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)Machine A could be purchased for $48,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $1,000 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $5,000.Machine B could be purchased for $40,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $4,000 in year three, $5,000 in year six, and $6,000 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.Required:Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

Answer: Machine B because it has the lower Present Value

Explanation:

<h2>Machine A</h2>

= Present Value of income - Present Value of Costs

Present value of Income;

Sold for $5,000 after 10 years.

= 5,000/ (1 + 8%)^10

= $2,315.97

Present Value of Costs;

Purchased for $48,000.

Maintenance of $1,000 per year for  years.

Present value of maintenance= 1,000 * Present value factor of annuity,  10 years, 8%

= 1,000 * 6.7101

= $6,710.10

Machine A Present Value

= 2,315.97 - 6,710.10 - 48,000

= ‭-$52,394

<h2>Machine B</h2>

No salvage value.

Present Value of costs

Purchased for $40,000.

Present value of maintenance = (4,000 / (1 + 8%)^3)  + (5,000 / ( 1 + 8)^6) + (6,000 / ( 1 + 8%)^8)

= -$9,567.79

Present Value = -40,000 - 9,567.79

= -$49,568

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Increase of $8,200

Explanation:

Currently, the company is making a net operating income of;

= Contribution Margin - Fixed expenses

= (90 * 6,700) - 547,700

= $55,300

If the company advertises, net operating income becomes;

= Contribution margin with increase in sales - Fixed expenses including advertisements

= (90 * (6,700 + 170)) - (547,700 + 7,100)

= $63,500

Increase in operating income = 63,500 - 55,300

= $8,200

Hubert lives in San Francisco and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling boats.
aev [14]

Answer:

Explicit costs are normal costs of operating a business.

Implicit costs are opportunity costs meaning that they are the benefits foregone by engaging in a certain course of action.

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Hubert pays the manufacturer ⇒ EXPLICIT COST.

The salary Hubert could earn if he worked as an accountant ⇒ IMPLICIT COST.

The wages and utility bills that Hubert pays ⇒ EXPLICIT COST

The rental income Hubert could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. ⇒ IMPLICIT COSTS

Accounting Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000

= $89,000

Economic Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

= 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 38,000 - 48,000

= $3,000

If Hubert's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he <u>should</u> stay in the piano business because the economic profit he would earn as an accountant would be -$3,000.

<em>Economic profit as accountant = Salary + rental income - accounting profit from piano</em>

<em>= 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000</em>

<em>= -$3,000</em>
