Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

Municipal security from which an investor will receive a return on investment from an initial principal is called a capital appreciation bond. However, in this security, the return on investment will be reinvested further until the security matures at a specific rate. The primary purpose of the CABs is to permit the local authority to generate revenue. Due to the financing in the innovative project without increasing the tax is one of the controversial ways for local governments to finance projects. Another controversial way is to owe investors more than what they acquired.

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Deferred Subscription Revenue A/c Dr $12,000

To Subscription revenue A/c $12,000

(Being the deferred subscription amount is adjusted)

The computation is shown below:

= Number of subscriptions sold × sale price each × (number of months ÷ total number of months in a year)

= 400 subscriptions × $90 × (4 months ÷ 12 months)

= $36,000 × (4 months ÷ 12 months)

= $12,000

The four months are reported from the September 1 to December 31

In evaluating the profit center manager, the income from operations should be compared a.across profit centers b.to historical p

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: to historical performance or budget

Explanation:

A profit center in a business is a division that is able to make revenues independently and contribute to the revenue of the entire business. In evaluating the performance of a profit center manager, it is best to compare the performance to a budget or their historical performance.

This is because profit centers engage in different businesses and so their revenue making style will be unique. Some profit centers will make more than others because of the goods they produce or the way they produce it. It is therefore best to compare a profit center to an internal measure such as the budget and historical performance.

If the profit center exceeds either of these then they are performing well.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20
