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).

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

All other things being equal, an increase in the cost of production of a product will decrease the units of the product being reduced and this reduction in supply shifts the supply curve to left while a decrease in the cost of production will increase the units of the product being produced and this shifts the supply curve to the right.

Printed circuit boards is one of the materials used to build computers and since the price has increased, the cost of producing computer also increases and this will make the producers to produce less, shifting the supply curve to the left.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A) Using a change management system to influence performance

Explanation:

First of all, since the change was proposed by the customer, any delay in the construction project caused by their new request should not trigger the damage clause.

The contractor should use a change management system so the existing baseline is not altered by the delay. A change management system is responsible for managing all the changes that might occur during the project's inception until its completion. It is important that all changes or alterations to the original schedule are properly recorded and authorized (in this case to prevent the damage clause).

By using the change management system, the organization has a standardized methodology for handling changes in the project's schedule. This way any negative impact can be reduced.

On 31 December 2021: Debit Compensation expense for $41,067; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $41,067.

On 06 January 2022: Debit Cash for $48,000; Debit Paid-in capital from share options for $22,400; Credit Common stock for $3,200; and Credit Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) for $67,200.

Explanation:

Note: See part b of the the attached excel file for the journal entries

Also note that before the journal entries are recorded, the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021 are first calculated. See part a of the attached excel file for the calculation of the the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021.

In part a of the attached excel file, the estimated compensation cost for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are calculated as follows:

Estimated compensation cost for 2019 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2020 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2021 = Option value on the grant date * (Number of executives - Actual executives turnover for the entire service period) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * (50 - 7) * 200 = $120,400

On 06 January 2022, the calculation of the entries used in the part b of the attached excel file are as follows:

w.1. Cash = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Purchase price per share after completing a 3-year service period = (8 * 200 * $30) = $48,000

w.2. Paid-in capital from share options = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Option value on the grant date = (8 * 200 * 14) = $22,400

w.3. Common Stock = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Sahre par value = (8 * 200 * $2) = $3,200

w.4. Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) = Cash + Paid-in capital from share options - Common Stock = $48,000 + $22,400 - $3,200 = $67,200
