Cost on January 1 2016 = $1,250,000
Life = 10 years
Therefore,
Double-declining depreciation rate = 2*(1,250,000/10)/1,250,000 = 2*0.1 = 2*10% = 20%
Book value at end of 2016 = 1,250,000 - (1,250,000*20/100) = $1,000,000
Book value at end of 2017 = 1,000,000 - (1,000,000*20/100) = $800,000
Book value at end of 2018 = 800,000 - (800,000*20/100) = $640,000
Changing to straight line depreciation:
Life remaining = 7 years
Book value = $640,000
Depreciation expense per year = 640,000/7 = $91,428.57
Therefore, depreciation expense for 2019 = $91,428.57
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
- the total sales of calendars is as follows:
7200 multiply with $5 each = $36000
- In order to find out the profit, the toal of sales is to be subtarcted with costs. The given sales is $36000, costs is $19183
Thus, the total profit = $16817
95% of 10080 canot be taken in order to find out the correct number. 5% enrollment growth, is as follows:
10080 = 1.05 multiply "x"
thus, calculating x = 9600
- The number of studnets are 9600 in the last semester out of which 7200 bought calendar. 7200 divide 9600 = 75.0 percent sales penetration.
Answer:
The company paid $278,031
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company bought a parcel of land twenty years ago. The land is currently worth $575,000. The yearly appreciation rate has been 3.7%.
<u>To calculate the past value of the land, we need to use the following formula:</u>
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= present value (20 years ago)
n= 20
FV= 575,000
i= 0.037
PV= 575,000 / (1.037^20)
PV= $278,031
Answer:
Project A
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 250,000 1 -250,000
1-10 45,100 6.144 277,094.40
Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40
IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%
Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144
Project B
Years Cashflows Discount factor Present values
0 (350,000) 1 (350,000)
1 72,500 0.91 65,975
2 65,500 0.83 54,365
3 73,800 0.75 55,350
4 71,500 0.68 48,620
5 69,800 0.62 43,276
6 75,500 0.56 42,280
7 31,000 0.51 15,810
8 47,500 0.47 22,325
9 55,500 0.42 23,310
10 29,200 0.38 11,096
Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407
IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%
On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.
b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure
