Answer: Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
If the government wishes to increase the level of real GDP, it might reduce <u>Taxes.</u>
This is due to the fact that if government reduces the transfer payment, size of budget deficit or its purchases of goods and services then as a result the level of real GDP deceases because of lower aggregate demand for the product.
Now, if government reduces the taxes, this will increase the individual's disposable income. So, this will results in higher aggregate demand and hence, increases the level of real GDP.
Answer: $187 ⇒ Amount should ABC report as a net pension liability (asset) at Dec 31, 2018
Explanation:
Given that,
Data for 2018 as of Dec 31, 2018 are as follows:
Projected benefit obligation = $634
Accumulated benefit obligation = $418.44
Plan assets at fair value = $821
Pension expense = $192.48
Employer's cash contribution (end of year) = $361
The amount should company report as a net pension liability at Dec 31, 2018 as follows:
Net Pension Liability = Projected benefit obligation - Plan assets at fair value
= $634 - $821
= $187 ⇒ Amount should ABC report as a net pension liability (asset) at Dec 31, 2018
Answer:
I. Present values increase as the discount rate increases.
and
III. Present values are smaller than future values when both r and t are positive.
Answer:
Explanation:
Last year Current year
Selling Price 10 10
Varaible Price 5 6
Contribution Margin 5 4
Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.
company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.
Break Even using FIFO method : first In first out system
Fix Cost = 86000
contribution from opening units(6000*5) = 30000
Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from
current year products = 56000
Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4) = 14000
so we have break even units 6000+14000 = 20000
Fix cost = -86000
Opening 6000*5 = 30000
Current 14000*4 = 56000
Profit = 0
Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out
Fix Cost = 86000
Break even = Fix Cost / Contribution margin
Break even = 86000/4 =21500
current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
