Mr. Smith at Acme Production, Inc. is trying to determine the true economic value (TEV) for a new computerized machine. This mac

hine costs $20 per hour to operate and can be used for a year before it needs to be replaced. A system crash costs $500,000, and the probability that the machine will crash is 5%. The next-best alternative has a price of $150,000. It can also be used for a year and costs $15 per hour to operate. The cost of a system crash for this alternative is also $500,000, and the probability that it will crash is 15%. Acme plans to operate this machine 8 hours per day, 365 days, over the next year. The true economic value (TEV) of the machine is: $185,400. $175,000. $154,000. $210,400.

Answer:

$185,400

Explanation:

Price of next best alternative = $150,000

Expected crash system saving:

= (Probability of crash × cost of a system crash) - (Probability of machine will crash × cost of a system crash)

= [(15% × 500,000) - (5% × 500,000)]

= $75,000 - $25,000

= $50,000

Added operating cost true economic value:

= (Number of hours in 365 days × machine cost per hour) - (Number of hours in 365 days × Next best alternative cost per hour)

= [(2,920 × $20/hr) - (2,920 × $15/hr)]

= $58,400 - $43,800

= $14,600

True economic value (TEV) of the machine:

= Price of next best alternative + Expected crash system saving - Added operating cost true economic value

= $150,000 + $50,000 - $14,600

= $185,400

What is the difference between an "I" statement and a "You" statement? A. The "I" statement is non-confrontational b. The "You"
Juliette [100K]

What is the difference between an "I" statement and a "You" statement? A. The "I" statement is non-confrontational. When you are speaking to someone else and you start with I, it is non-confrontational because you are talking about yourself. If you start a sentence with "you" sometimes the other person may take offense to that and think you are wanting to start an argument.

The marginal prospensity is to consume 0.75, marginal prospensity to invest is 0.3 and the marginal prospensity to import is 0.2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

The size of the multiplier is the one which grounded on the marginal decisions of the household for spend, that is called as the MPC (stands for Marginal Propensity to consume), also referred to as the marginal propensity to save (MPS).

The formula to compute the size of the multiplier is as follows:

Size of multiplier = 1 / MPS

where

MPS is 0.75

So,

Size of multiplier = 1 / 0.75

= 1.33

The use of the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) method to value inventory for reporting purposes is a departure fro
Wewaii [24]

Question:

The use of the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) method to value inventory for reporting purposes is a departure from the accounting principle of:

A) Historical cost.

B) Matching.

C) Going concern.

D) Conservatism.  

Answer:

The Right answer is A) Historical Cost.

Explanation:

Inventories are recorded at their cost. If inventory declines in value below its original cost, a major departure from the historical cost principle occurs.

Whatever the reason for a decline-damage, physical deterioration, obsolesce, changes in price levels, or other causes, a company should write down the inventory to Lower-of-Cost or Net Realizable Value (LCNRV) to report this loss.

A company abandons the historical cost principle when the future utility (revenue-producing ability) of the asset drops below its original cost.

Net Realizable Value refers to the net amount that a company expects to realize from the sale of inventory. Specifically, net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business minus estimated costs to make a sale.

Example

Inventory  Value - Unfinished                                         $2,000

Less: Estimated Cost of Completion          $  50

Estimated Cost to sell                                    <u>200</u>           <u>     250</u>

<u>Net Realizable Value                                                             750</u>

<u />

Cheers!

In which of the following situations would the minimum efficient scale of operation provide little or no guidance regarding how
son4ous [18]

Answer:

When the LARC (Long Run Average Cost) curve slopes downward over the relevant or material range of the output

Explanation:

LRAC stands for Long Run Average Cost, is that curve which represents the average cost, in the long period for producing a given or stated quantity of the output.

So, the one situation which will minimize the efficient scale of operation provide no guidance is when the LARC curve is downward sloping over the material range of the output. It states that the market should be served by a single firm in order to minimize the aggregate cost of the production.
