statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$80,500

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question

Capital asset = $23,000

Number of year = 5

Income tax rate = 30%

The computation of cash inflow from operations is as shown below:-

Before tax  = capital asset × number of year

= $23,000 × 5

= $115,000

Cash inflow from operations = Before tax × (1 - Income tax rate)

= $115,000 × (1 - 0.3)

= $115,000 × 0.7

= $80,500

Brief Exercise 23-1 Lopez Company uses both standards and budgets. For the year, estimated production of Product X is 534,000 un
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a. $6

b.  $3204000

Explanation:

Given:

  • Product X is 534,000 units
  • cost for materials $1,441,800
  • cost for labour: $1,762,200

(a) a standard cost

As we know standard cost is the cost of producing 1 unit and is recorded in a standard cost card. However, the cost of labor, materials and overhead are used to make a single unit, so

standard cost = unit variable cost =  the total cost / the total number of unit.

In this situation, the overheading cost is not gven, so the total cost:

= The cost of labor + materials

= $1,441,800 + $1,762,200

= $3204000

=> standard cost  = $3204000  / 534,000 = $6

(b) a budgeted cost represents the total costs

The total number of units * standard cost

= 534,000 * 6

=   $3204000

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$45,000

Explanation:

In this case the market value is $200,000 but the policy limit is only $120,000, with a coinsurance of 80%.

Since the amount of loss = $60,000, the insurance company will pay:

(stop limit / value) x loss = ($120,000 / $160,000*) x $60,000 = 0.75 x $60,000 = $45,000

*the $160,000 value is determined by multiplying the fair market value of the property times the coinsurance = $200,000 x 80% = $160,000
