Coakley Beet Processors, Inc., processes sugar beets in batches. A batch of sugar beets costs $43 to buy from farmers and $17 to

crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $19 or processed further for $11 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $31. The beet juice can be sold as is for $39 or processed further for $41 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $77. How much profit (loss) does the company make by processing the intermediate product beet juice into refined sugar rather than selling it as is?

Answer:

$3 less

Explanation:

Sales value after processing into refined sugar = $77

Cost of processing into refined sugar = $41

Profit per unit from refined sugar = $77 - $41 = $36

Profit per unit before processing of beet juice = $39

Hence, the company makes $3 less ($39 - $36) if it processes the beef juice into refined sugar than selling as it is. It is advisable not to spend resources on conversion of beet juice into refined sugar but instead to sell as it is.

The word ’journal’ means a dairy or day books which is use for recording of any financial transaction. It helps in reducing the possibility of an error when transactions are first recorded. The journal is not part of the double entry system; its purpose is giving details of entries, which will appear in the Ledger.  

Deferred revenue which can also be refer to as unearned revenue are income receive on goods or services which have not been rendered to the customer, because the service has not been rendered to the payer, it is a debt or liability to the company so this should be treated as a credit entry under Journal entry.

A problem is listed below. Identify its type. Mr. Garcia is planning for retirement. He deposits $750 each month into a retireme
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

$361,648

Explanation:

PMT (Monthly Deposit) = $750

i/r = 8%/year

   = 8/12 = 0.67%/month

n = 18 years = 18 x 12 = 216 months

PV = 0

Input these above information into excel/financial calculator, we have:

FV (Amount he has when he retires) = $361,648

OR we can do the calculation manually:

FV = (750 x 1.0067^216)+ (750 x 1.0067^215) + ... (750x1.0067^1) + 750

    = $361,648

You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 1717 years. You expect tha
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The present value of the new drug is $19.33 million

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Expected Revenues from the drug in year 1(P)   $2 million

Growth Rate (g)                                                        2% p.a.

No. of years  (n)                                                      17 years  

Discount rate (r)                                                        9% p.a.

Since the revenues are expected to grow at a constant rate of 2% p.a, we can treat this series of cash flows as a <u>growing annuity. </u>

We calculate the Present Value of a growing annuity with the following formula:

PV = \frac{P}{r-g}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+g}{1+r}\right)^{n}\right]

Substituting the values we get,

PV = \frac{2}{0.09-0.02}*\left [ 1- \left (\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.09}\right)^{17}\right]

PV = \frac{2}{0.07}*\left [1- 0.323558233\right]

PV = 28.57142857 * 0.676441767

PV = 19.32690763

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

A. $625,000

Explanation:

We know that,

Residual income = Average operating assets × (Return on investment  - Minimum Required Rate of Return)

$50,000 = Average operating assets × (20% - 12%)

$50,000 = Average operating assets × 8%

So, the average operating assets would be

= $50,000 ÷ 8%

= $625,000

We simply apply the formula by considering all the items which are given in the question
