Answer:

a. $2,465.82

b. $3,539.68

c. Yes, we should

Explanation:

Annual cost to maintain old forklift is $5,000

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of new forklift = (Asset price x discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)-n), in which n is the number of year for usage of this forklift?

If discount rate is 4% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $2,465.82  

= ($20,000x4%)/(1-(1+4%)-10)

If discount rate is 12% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $3,539.68  

= ($20,000x12%)/(1-(1+12%)-10)

We should replace because with such above discount rate, the old forklift is more costly than the new one

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

A) They would be indifferent, as Sally's income net of costs equals $25,000.

Explanation:

Sally's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = $12,000
  • opportunity costs = $25,000 - $15,000 in lost salaries + $2,000 (lost investment revenue) = $12,000

economic profit = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0

Since the economic profit is $0, Sally should be indifferent between running her own business or working for someone else.

What are the managerial implications of a borderless organization?
Andrews [41]
<span>In my opinion, the managerial implications of a borderless organization could be a language barrier: complete from a different spoken language to even just day to day colloquial words or phrases. Another could be different labor laws in different countries. Another big one is the fact that different time zones could come into play and if improperly accounted for or organized with, this could really turn business upside down.</span>

Hull Company’s record of transactions concerning part X for the month of April was as follows.
olga55 [171]

Answer:1. $7720  

2. $7945

3. $7758

Explanation: 1. First in First out method which means the first inventory to be purchased by company will be the first to be sold.  

Total cost of Sales   = Total number of units Sold * Total Cost of inventory sold    

                                  = 100units*$5+ 300units*$5.30+ 200units*$5.35 + 450units*$5.60

                                   =$7720

Total units sold=1450  we started from first inventory which was the balance of inventory of 100 units downwards up to the 1450th unit sold that was purchased on the 26th of April by the company.

2. Last in first out method is where the last bought inventory is sold first.

Total cost of sales= Total number of units sold * Total cost of units sold =200units$*5.80+ 600units*$5.60+ 200units*$5.35+300units*$5.30+150units*$5.1

=$7945

Total units sold still 1450 but we calculated the cost from the last purchased unit from 30th April to the 1450th unit sold which was on the 12th of April.

3. Average Cost = (Sum of all costs/Total number of costs)* total units sold

                     = (($5+$5.1+$5.3+$5.35+$5.6+$5.8)/6)* 1450

=$7769.58
