The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20. The after-tax net present value of the benefits from purchasing the two m

achines together is $90,000 if demand is low and $180,000 if demand is high. If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the net present value is $120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options. Doing nothing has a net present value of $120,000; subcontracting, $160,000; and buying the second machine, $140,000.

Answer:  a)The decision tree is attached as a document to this question.

b)$140000

Here is the complete question:

. A manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. Some sales will be lost, however, because the lead time for purchasing this type of machine is 6 months. In addition, the cost per machine will be lower if both are purchased at the same time. The probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20. The after-tax net present value of the benefits from purchasing the two machines together is $90,000 if demand is low and $180,000 if demand is high.

If one machine is purchased and demand is low, the net present value is $120,000. If demand is high, the manager has three options. Doing nothing has a net present value of $120,000; subcontracting, $160,000; and buying the second machines, $140,000.

a. Draw the decision tree for this problem.

b. Use the decision tree to determine how many machines the company should buy initially and give the expected payoff for this alternative.

Explanation:

Concepts and reason

The expected value of perfect information (EVPI)= EPPI - EP

(EPPI) =expected payoff with perfect information

(EP)= maximum expected payoff  computed under uncertainty.

Fundamentals

The expected payoff = P₁X₁ + P₂X₂ +....PnXn,

The formula for the expected payoff is, E(X) = ΣxΡ(x)

Suppose you have a set of corresponding probabilities for playing your pure strategies = Pn

where the probabilities must all be greater than or equal to zero and they all sum to one.

b) the values at node 4 = $120000, $140000 and $160000

EV =maximum(node4)

=max($120000, $140000 , $160000)

=$140000

expected payoff at node 4 = $140000

Answer:

Once you make the proper adjustments, the income statement should no longer show a $95,560 profit, instead it should show $55,080

Explanation:

1. Rent of $42,000 was paid on July 1, 2019, for 12 months.

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on prepaid rent

Dr Rent expense 21,000

    Cr Prepaid rent 21,000

So rent expense must increase by $21,000

2. Purchases of supplies during the year totaled $18,000. An inventory of supplies taken at year-end showed supplies on hand of $2,720.

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on supplies inventory

Dr Supplies expense 15,280

    Cr Supplies 15,280

So supplies expense must increase by $15,280

3. The building was purchased three years ago and has an estimated life of 30 years (total accumulated depreciation for 3 years = $21,000)

December 31, 2019, adjusting entry on building depreciation

Dr Depreciation expense 4,200

    Cr Accumulated depreciation - building 4,200

So depreciation expense must increase by $4,200

Adjusted income statement should be:

budgeted profit $95,560

- rent expense ($21,000)

- supplies expense ($15,280)

- depreciation expense ($4,200)

net income after adjustments = $55,080

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Answer:(a) Carrying value of asset: $10,000,000 - $2,500,000 = $7,500,000.

($10,000,000 ÷ 8) x 2 = $2,500,000

Future cash flows $6,300,000

Carrying value $7,500,000

Impairment entry:

Loss on Impairment A/C Dr. $1,900,000

      To Accumulated Depreciation A/C    $ 1,900,000

(7,500,000 - 5,600,000 = 1,900,000)

(b) Depreciation Expense A/C Dr. $ 1,400,000

           To Accumulated Depreciation A/C $ 1,400,000

($5600000/4=$1400000)

(c ) No depreciation is recorded on impaired assets to be disposed of.

Recovery of impairment losses are recorded.

Loss on Impairment A/c Dr. $1,900,000

      To Accumulated Depreciation A/C    $ 1,900,000

12/31/2015 Accumulated Depreciation A/C Dr. $ 300,000

                                          To Recovery of Impairment Loss A/C $ 300,000

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

a) Determination of the amount of the amortization, depletion, or impairment for the current year for each item:

   Item                 Impairment   Amortization    Depletion

                             Expense         Expense          Expense

a. Timber rights                                                  $304,000

b. Goodwill        $ 1,110,000

c. Patent                                     $456,000

b) Adjusting Journal Entries:

Date       Account Titles                                   Debit         Credit

Dec. 31   Depletion Expense -Timber rights  $304,000

              Accumulated Depreciation - Timber rights     $304,000

To record the depletion expense for Timber rights.

Dec. 31   Goodwill Impairment Loss             $1,110,000

              Accumulated Goodwill Impairment                $1,110,000

To record the impairment loss for Goodwill

Dec. 31   Amortization Expense - Patent     $456,000

              Accumulated Amortization - Patent                 $456,000

To record the amortization expense for Patent.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

February 22, Purchase of Timber rights $1,140,000

Estimated stand of timber = 6,000,000

Used board feet of timber = 1,600,000

Units of product Depletion

= $1,140,000/6,000,000 * 1,600,000

= $304,000

December 31, Goodwill impairment

= $1,110,000

April 3 Patent:

Cost incurred $9,120,000

Amortization per annum = $608,000 ($9,120,000/15)

Amortization for the current year = $456,000 ($608,000 * 3/4)

Suppose that you deposit $4,500 in your bank and the required reserve ratio is 18 percent. the maximum loan your bank can make a
NNADVOKAT [17]

Suppose that you deposit $4,500 in your bank and the required reserve ratio is 18 percent. The maximum loan your bank can make as a direct result of your deposit is 3690.

<h3>What exactly is a bank loan and the required reserve ratio?</h3>
  • A loan is a quantity of money that one or more people or businesses obtain from banks or other financial organizations in order to handle their finances in connection with anticipated or unforeseen circumstances.
  • By doing this, the borrower creates a debt that must be repaid with interest within a predetermined time frame.
  • The percentage of deposits that authorities mandate a bank maintain in reserves and refrain from lending out is known as the required reserve ratio.
  • If the required reserve ratio is 1 to 10, a bank can only lend out $0.90 of every dollar it has on deposit, but it must retain $0.10 in reserves.

Hence, The maximum loan your bank can make as a direct result of your deposit is 3690.
