Answer:
Annual depreciation= $4,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of the machine was $29,000. Its estimated residual value was $9,000 at the end of estimated 5-year life.
<u>To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (29,000 - 9,000)/5
Annual depreciation= $4,000
Answer:
Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units
Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units
new safety stock = 331
331 = Z * 90 * √10
Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163
Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%
Answer:
Annual deposit= $21,568.87
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You have just turned 30 years old. Every dollar in the plan earns 9 % per year. You cannot make withdrawals until you retire on your 60th birthday.
You will need $ 98,000 per year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your one-hundredth birthday.
First, we need to calculate the total amount needed at age 60.
Final value= 30years*98,000= $2,940,000
To calculate the annual deposit we need the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (2,940,000*0.09)/[(1.09^30)-1]= $21,568.87
Answer: 16.3%
Explanation:
Given the details in the question, the cost of preferred capital can be calculated using the CAPM method.
Cost of preferred stock using the Capital Asset Pricing Model is:
= Risk free rate + Beta * ( Market return - Risk free rate)
= 4% + 1.23 * (14% - 4%)
= 16.3%
