Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be

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. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?

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

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The relevant multiple choices are as follows:

$1,920,000.

$720,000.

$1,620,800.

$1,579,200.

$1,080,000.

The correct answer is the third option which is $1,620,800.

Explanation:

Total joint costs=cost of land acquisition+cost of street and utilities improvement

cost of land acquisition=$1,800,000

cost of street and utilities improvement=$1,400,000

total joint costs=$1,800,000+$1,400,000=$3,200,000

sales  value of the golf course lots=100*$95,000=$9,500,000

sales value of street frontage lots=150*$65,000=$ 9,750,000

Total sales value =$9,500,000+$9,750,000=$ 19,250,000

joint costs to street frontage lots=$3,200,000*$9,750,000/$19,250,000.00

                                                     =$ 1,620,779.22  

The closest option is the third option above.

A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The net credit position is -28,420 (thus, is i na debit position)

if the payment cycle increases to 37 days then, net credit position 40,800

The company improve its cash flow as is now delaying the paying of the purchases for more days thus, redducing his overall cash needs per year.

Explanation:

The net credit position is the difference between accounts receivable and accounts payable

Accounts receivable = average daily credit sales X average collection period receivable

Accounts receivable: 10,010 x 32 = 320,320

Accounts payable = average daily credit purchases X average payment period payable

Account Payable: 9,730 x 30 = 291,900

Accounts Receivable - Accounts Payable:

320,320 - 291,900 = 28,420

If the tiem period increases; then:

A/P = 9,730 x 37 = 361,120

position: 320,320 - 361,120 = 40,800
