(Being the vacation expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Estimated amount of the current year's vacation pay ÷ total number of months in a year

= $106,800 ÷ 12 months

= $8,900

For recording this transaction we debited the vacation expense as it increased the expenses while at the same time it also increased the liabilities so the vacation payable is credited

ki77a [65]

Answer:

A) $83

Explanation:

First, find aftertax OCF per year

aftertax OCF = (Operating benefit - depreciation)*(1-tax) +depreciation

Depreciation per year = 10,000/5 = 2,000

Tax = 34%

aftertax OCF per year = (3,000 - 2,000)*(1-0.34) + 2,000

= 660 +2,000

= 2,660

Next, find the PV of the aftertax OCF per year. It is an annuity;

PMT = 2,660

N = 5

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = 10,083.493

Subtract the initial cost of the machine to find the Net Present Value (NPV);

NPV = -$10,000 + $10,083.493

NPV = $83.493
