Answer:
$23,520
Explanation:
The computation of book value of the machine is shown below:-
Machine cost $28,000
Less: Depreciation $4,200
($28,000 - $2,800) ÷ 6
Book Value at beginning
of Year 2 $23,800
Add: Improvements $7,000
Total $54,600
Less: Accumulated
Depreciation for 3 years $31,080
($54,600 - $2,800) × 3 ÷ 5 years
Book Value Dec 31, Year 4 $23,520
Answer:
The answer is: a
Explanation:
The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.
The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.
By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.
Foregone purchase costs from supplier: $12.80
Incurred costs (directly) from production: ($11.77)
Direct materials ($4.45)
Direct Labour ($3.45)
Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6) <u>($3.87)</u>
Net gain per headlight <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

Answer:
Real purchasing power increase= 2.16%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You deposit $1,900 in your savings account that pays an annual interest rate of 3.25%. The inflation rate is 1.09%.
In this example, we have two different and opposite effects. The interest rate increases your purchasing power. If the inflation rate is 0, the purchasing power will increase (in one year) 3.25%.
The inflation rate decreases the purchasing power of nominal income.
Real purchasing power increase= annual interest rate - inflation rate
Real purchasing power increase= 3.25 - 1.09= 2.16%
