Answer:

$2,096,924.50

Explanation:

Present value of an investment and cash inflows is measured at present time means year 0. Gradient is also valued at present time.

$760,000 each year at 9% for next 3 years is annuity payment and its Present value can be calculated as follow

PV of Annuity = P + P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-(n-1) / r

Where

P = $760,000

r = 9%

n = 3 years

Placing values in the formula

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 9% )^-(3-1) / 9%

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $760,000 x 1.759111  

PV of Annuity = $760,000 + $1,336,924.50  

PV of Annuity = $2,096,924.50

Return on Common Stockholders' Equity
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

Return on common stockholders' equity for 2015:

(Net income - preferred stock)/Equity

(63,000-5,400)/2,400,000 = 57,600/2,400,000 = 2.4%

Return on common stockholders' equity for 2015:

(99,000-5,400)/3,000,000 = 93,600/3,000,000 = 3.12%

From these calculations, it is clear that return has improved.

Kim Inc. is considering the replacement of a piece of equipment with a newer model. The following data has been collected: Old E
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Kim Inc.

The net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is:

= $7,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                     Old Equipment     New Equipment  

Purchase price                                 $262,500              $450,000

Accumulated depreciation                  95,000               0  

Annual operating costs                     300,000                245,000

Total operating costs for 10 years 3,000,000             2,450,000

Salvage                                                 92,500             0

Total incremental cost                 $2,907,500           $2,900,000

b) The net advantage obtained by Kim for replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is $7,500 ($2,907,500 - $2,900,000).  Note that the purchase price of the old equipment with its accumulated depreciation are not relevant costs.  This case is worked out without taking into account the time value of money.  Assuming that the present value of the cash flows was computed, a different result and conclusion would be reached.

Samson Company reported total manufacturing costs of $320,000, manufacturing overhead totaling $52,000, and direct materials use
Artemon [7]

Answer:

$204,000

Explanation:

Given that

Total manufacturing costs = $320,000

Manufacturing overhead = $52,000

Direct materials = $64,000

The computation of direct labor cost is shown below:-

Direct labor cost = Total manufacturing costs + Manufacturing overhead + direct materials

= $320,000 - $52,000 - $64,000

= $204,000

Therefore for computing the direct labor cost we simply applied the above formula.
