Answer:

ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million

Explanation:

According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.

In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.

The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.

Last year Dania Corporation's sales were $525 million. If sales grow at 10.5% per year, how large (in millions) will they be 8 y
Andru [333]

In 8 years, Dania Corporation's sales would be $936.33 million.

Solution:

Since last year sales = $525 million,

Let last year be Year 0

So, in year 0 = $525 million.

Sales grow = 7.5% per year,

Year 1,

525 x 1.075 = $564.375 million.

Year 2,

564.375 x 1.075 = $606.7 million

Year 3,

606.7 x 1.075 = $652.2 million

Year 4

652.2 x 1.075 = $701.12 million

Year 5

701.12 x 1.075 = $753.7 million

Year 6

753.7 x 1.075 = $810.23 million

Year 7

810.23 x 1.075 = $871 million

Finally in year 8

871 x 1.075 = $936.33 million

Dream, Inc., has debt outstanding with a face value of $6 million. The value of the firm if it were entirely financed by equity
Deffense [45]

Answer:

$650,000

Explanation:

For computing the decrease in the  expected bankruptcy costs, first we have to determine the total firm value in each case which is shown below:

Total firm value = Equity + Debt × corporate tax rate

                          = $17,850,000 + $6,000,000 × 0.35

                          = $17,850,000 + $2,100,000

                          = $19,950,000

Now the total firm value based on market share

= Equity + Debt

= 350,000 shares × $38 + $6,000,000

= $13,300,000 + $6,000,000

= $19,300,000

The difference would be

= $19,950,000 million - $19,300,000

= $650,000

Golden Marine Stores Company manufactures special metallic materials and decorative fittings for luxury yachts that require high
drek231 [11]

Answer:

A. The company paid a higher cost for the direct materials than allowed by the standards.

Explanation:

The following is a logical explanation for this variance:

Since, the standard quantity of raw materials to be used is 22 pounds x 500 units = 11000 pounds. The actual usage is 9500 pounds ony. Hence, variance in direct material price variance can be only due to higher cost of direct material purchased.

Kanye, Jonny, Jaco, and Neil are trying to form a band. They each have some basic skills on most instruments, so their current p
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

Explanation:

Here are the options

1- Continue with the current plan, as economies of scale should eventually kick in.

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

3- Abandon the band, as continued practice is doomed to suffer diminishing marginal returns.

4- Invest their remaining savings in new instruments, as they are at a point where the marginal product of capital exceeds the marginal product of labor.

5- Change the rotation to be random rather than equal, to take advantage of heteroskedasticity.

Specialisation is when a person focuses on an activity in which they are efficient in or have a comparative advantage in

A person has a comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people

Jaco seems to be efficient at playing bass, thus he should specialise in this activity

Jonny seems to be efficient at playing the guitar, thus he should specialise in this activity

An advantage of specialisation : Increased efficiency as a result of carrying out the same activity multiple time.
