Answer:

After 40 years of working, and savings 10% of his salary per year, and his retirement account earning a 9% compounding interest rate, Matt should have $3,984,402 in his retirement account.

Explanation:

The reason this number is so high, is that his base salary is quite high ($60,000) and it increases by 5% each year during 40 years. At the end of year 40, his salary should be $402,85 per year. The 9% compounding interest rate is also high, it means that every dollar invested next year will generate $31.41 dollars in 40 years.

The demand for one of X Company’s products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$230,000

Revised Question:

The demand for one of X Company's products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment that originally cost $1,300,000 and has a carrying value of $720,000. As of the current date, December 31, 2012, it is expected that only an additional 400,000 units are likely to be sold over the remaining life of the equipment. Each unit sells for $3 and has a manufacturing cost of $1.50. Relevant information as of December 31, 2018:

The undiscounted future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment is expected to be $600,000.

The present value of the future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment, calculated at the company's cost of capital, is $475,000.

The equipment has a fair value of $490,000 on the date of evaluation.

How much of an impairment loss will X Company recognize in 2018?

Explanation:

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets states that company's or entity's assets can not be carried at more than their Recoverable Amount

<em>Recoverable Amount</em> equals to higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use

<em>Value in Use</em> is net present value (NPV) of future cashflows generated by an asset.

Lets calculate the Recoverable amount of the equipment of Company X:

Fair Value less Cost of disposal = $490,000 - 0 = $490,000

Value in Use = discounted future cashflows from equipment =  $475,000

<em>So Recoverable Amount is higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use i.e $490,000</em>

<h3>Impairment Loss = Carrying Value - Recoverable Amount </h3><h3>                              = $720,000 - $490,000</h3><h3>                              = $230,000</h3>

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. $285,000

Explanation:

When a company is acquired by another company, the parent company (the new owner) must report the assets at fair market value - amortization.

FV = $300,000

amortizable value = $100,000

depreciation for 3 years (2017, 2018 and 2019) = ($100,000 / 20) x 3 = 415,000

reported value = $300,000 - $15,000 = $285,000
