Answer:

d. A larger fixed assets turnover ratio and a larger gain on asset disposal

Explanation:

Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation whereby the book value of an asset is rapidly depreciated or reduced i.e at an accelerated rate.

This method usually minimizes taxable income in the initial years as a higher amount of depreciation is claimed.

Fixed assets turnover ratio refers to what percentage of net sales is attributable to an entity's fixed assets. It is expressed as:

\frac{Net\ Sales}{Average\ Fixed\ Assets}

Gain on sale of asset disposal = Sale value - Book Value

Book Value =  Cost less accumulated depreciation till date

As can be seen, Average fixed assets balance would reduce thereby increasing fixed assets turnover ratio.

Similarly, due to higher depreciation charged, Book Value would be comparatively less, which would lead to larger gain on assets disposal in the initial years.

A firm sells two products, Regular and Ultra. For every unit of Regular the firm sells, two units of Ultra are sold. The firm's
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

break even rate = $31000

ultra break even point  = $62000

Explanation:

given data

total fixed costs = $1,612,000

solution

WE FIND HERE FIRST contribution margin that is

contribution margin for regular per unit = $20 - $8

contribution margin = $12

and

contribution margin for ultra = $24 - $ 4

contribution margin for ultra = $20

so if 1 unit of regular is sold

2 unit of ultra will sold here

so

contribution margin is here

contribution margin = ( $12 × 1 )+  (  $12 × 2 )

contribution margin =  $52

and

break even point at commposite rate = total fix cost ÷ contribution margin rate at commposite rate

so

break even rate = \frac{1612000}{52}

break even rate = $31000

and

ultra break even point = 31000 × 2

ultra break even point  = $62000

What is the present worth of these future payments? (a) $25,500 eight years from now at 12% com-pounded annually. (b) $58,000 tw
grin007 [14]

Answer:

a. PV        =  $10,299.02

b. PV        =  $36,226.63

c. PV        =   $14,797.46

d. PV        =   $24,794.88

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use present value formula

           PV          =  C/(1+r)^n

Where PV          = Present value of a lump sum

              C         = Future amount to be discounted

               r          = Interest rate

               n         = Number of years

             

a.            PV        =  C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $25,500

               r          = 12%

               n         =  8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1+12%)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1+0.12)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /(1.12)^8

             PV        = $25,500 /2.475963176

              PV        = $10,299.02231

              PV        = $10,299.02

b.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $58,000

               r          =  4%

               n         =  12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1+4%)^12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1+0.04)^12

             PV        =  $58,000 /(1.04)^12

             PV        =   $58,000 /1.601032219

              PV        =  $36,226.62888

              PV        =  $36,226.63

c.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $25,000

               r          =  6%

               n         =  9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1+6%)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1+0.06)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /(1.06)^9

             PV        =  $25,000 /1.689478959

              PV        = $14,797.46159

              PV        = $14,797.46

c.            PV        = C/(1+r)^n

               C         = $35,000

               r          =  9%

               n         =  4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1+9%)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1+0.09)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /(1.09)^4

             PV        =  $35,000 /1.41158161

              PV        = $24,794.88239

              PV        = $24,794.88
