Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

In Miller's decision-making process, he needs to recognize the costs and benefits that he will get from replacing the existing the current machinery with the new one and ignore all the cost that had happened (sunk cost) because has already incurred even if Miller chooses to replace or not to replace the current machine. In this case, it is the cost incurred to upgrade the current machine.

For option A, salvage value of the new machinery should be considered as it helps Miller estimates how much money he is going to recover after the machinery's useful life.

For C, salvage value of the current machinery should be considered as it helps Miller estimates how much he will get from selling this current machine as he disposes them to replace with the new one.

For D, Miller will need to know those the replacement result in any cost saving or cost increasing in the future which is part of the benefit or the cost of replacement.

igomit [66]

Answer:

$16.9 per widget

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning inventory = $2,500

Purchases  = $156,000

Ending inventory = $38,200

Sales Revenue = $783,000

Selling and Administrative Expenses = $5,400

Total cost of the 7,100 widgets:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

= $2,500 + $156,000 - $38,200

= $120,300

Therefore,

Cost of one widget = Total cost of the 7,100 widgets ÷ Number of widgets

                                = $120,300 ÷ 7,100

                                = $16.9 per widget

If an employer chooses a per diem method of substantiation for travel expenses,
Ahat [919]

If an employer chooses a per diem method of substantiation for travel expenses, the meals and incidental expenses method requires actual cost records to substantiate lodging expenses.

Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The price of the meal and the additional expenses while travelling away from home for work purposes is deducted from an employee or self-employed person. The expense deduction generally requires the costs to be substantiated.

There has been, however, an optional form that prohibits receipts for these taxpayers.

The IRS releases Diem levels for different parts of the United States (see Notification 2015-63 on the subject of irs.gov). For just the intent of measuring a meal and an accessory deduction, taxpayers may use such per diem rates and will be required to prove it.

If an employer wants a method of proof of travel expenses by Diem, the meal and by-product procedure requires real cost records in order to prove accommodation expenses.

A landowner in Texas is offered $200,000 for the exploration rights to oil on her land, along with a 25% royalty on the future p
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

b. She should develop herself as the EMV of developing is $1.125 million, which is higher than the EMV of selling.

Explanation:

The probability of discovered oil = 0.25 (25%)

Selling the exploration right= Selling Price + Probability of discovered oil × Royalty% × Future Profit

= $200,000 + 0.25 × 0.25 × $7,500,000 = $668,750

Developing = Probability of finding the oil × Future Profits - Cost of Well

= 0.25 × $7,500,000 - $750,000 = $1,125,000

= $1.125 million

Therefore the EMV for selling the exploration rights is less than the developing, the landowner will develop the site by his own.

Explanation:
