On January 2, 2015, Alvarez Company purchased an electroplating machine to help manufacture a part for one of its key products.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Straight line for 2015-2020= $37,500 each year

Double Declining 2015 = $83,500, other years are explained

Untis of production 2015= $45,000.2, other years are in the explanation.

Explanation:

The completion of the question is as follows

FOr Units of Production, (Assume annual production in platings of 140,000; 180,000; 100,000; 110,000; 80,000; and 90,000.)

The question is to determine and compute the depreciation expense for 2015-2020 as follows

a) Straight line method

Formula = Cost of Equipment - The residual value / useful life of the equipment

= $250,500- $25,500 / 6 years

= $37,500

Year 2015 = $37,500

Year 2016 = $37,500

Year 2017 = $37,500

Year 2018 = $37,500

Year 2019 = $37,500

Year 2020 = $37,500

b) Double Declining Balance

Formula = The straight line method rate x 2 x The net book value of the machine

= 1/6 x 2 x $250,500

2015= $83,500

2016 = 1/6 x 2 x $250,500- $83,500 = $55,666.67

following the same process of getting the book value for each year, subtract the depreciation from the book vaule for the next year

2017= 31,111.11

2018= 24,740.74

2019= 16,493..83

2020= 7,487.65

c)The unit of productio method

First we get the unit cost = The Cost of the machine - its salvage value/ the number of cuttings

= $250500-$25500 / 700,000 cuttings = 0.32143

Year 2015 = 0.32143 x 140,000 = 45,000.2

Year 2016 = 0.32143 x 180,000= 57,857.4

Year 2017 = 0.32143 x 100000= 32,413

Year 2018 = 0.32143 x 110,000= 35,357.3

Year 2019 = 0.32143 x 80,000= 25,714.4

Year 2020 = 0.32143 x 90,000= 28,928.7

Use the following information to answer the question(s) below. A company near a large city is required to keep its smokestack po

meriva

Answer:

Over this 10-year period, the benefit to cost ratio is:

= 1.33.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of additional anti-pollution equipment = $2 million

Estimated useful life of the equipment = 10 years

Additional annual labor cost for equipment usage = $100,000

This gives a total labor cost of $1 million over the 10-year period.

Therefore, the total cost = $3 million

Savings (benefits) from lowering the air pollutants in the region = $4 million in medical expenses.

The benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) = $4/$3 = 1.33

b) The Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) is a cost–benefit analysis that summarizes the value-for-money of a project by expressing the relationship between the project's benefits and costs in monetary terms. The BCR shows the future profitability of investment alternatives or options. It is normally expressed in terms of net present value.

2018 2017

Net sales revenue 51,200 50,700

Costs of goods sold 20,800 28,600

Interest expense 400 280

All other expenses 6,200 7800

Net income 23,800 14,020

Explanation:

(1) Profit Margin Ratio for 2018

Profit Margin Ratio for 2018 = [Net Income / Net Sales Revenue] x 100

= [$23,800 / $51,200] x 100

= 46.5%

(2) Rate of Return on total assets for 2018

Rate of Return on total assets for 2018 = [Net Income / Average Total Assets] x 100

= [$23,800 / {($86,700 + $57,700)/2}] x 100

= [$23,800 / $72,200] x 100

= 33.0%

(3) Asset Turnover Ratio for 2018

Asset Turnover Ratio for 2018 = Net Sales Revenue / Average Total Assets

= $51,200 / $72,200

= 0.71 Times

(4) Rate of return for Common Stockholders Equity for 2018

Rate of return for Common Stockholders Equity for 2018 = [Net Income / Average Equity] x 100

= [$23,800 / {($45,200 + $32,900)/2}] x 100

= [$23,800 / $39,050] x 100

= 60.9%
