Answer:

Flexible budget and master budget are very different.

Explanation:

The "master budget" is the sum of all the budgets that are prepared by a company's various departments. They include financial statements that are budgeted, a financing plan and a cash forecast. They are based on one specific level of production.

A "flexible budget" is a budget that changes or adjusts when the level of activity changes. They are dynamic in nature and can be operated on many levels of output. It is realistic and not based on assumption.

Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR

Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58

Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072

Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 (0.165)

Expected HPR 14.49%

Calculation Of Standard Deviation

(A) (B) (A) - (B)

$P_{1}$ $P_{0}$ $D_{1}$ Given return Exp return d p $p.d^{2}$

60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718

58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045

49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 74.15

Total $p.d^{2}$ = 122.91

wherein, d = deviation

p = probability

Standard Deviation = $\sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{122.91}$ = 11.08

Working Note:

Holding period return = $\frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1} }{P_{0} }$

Boom = $\frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3 }{50 }$ = 26%

Similarly, for normal = $\frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2 }{50 }$ = 18.4%

Recession = $\frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75 }{50}$ = (0.5)%

The following information relates to the assets of Westfield Semiconductors as of December 31, 2019. Westfield uses the straight

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset Acquisition-Cost Expected-Life Residual-Value Time-Used

Land $104,300 Infinite $100,000 10 years

Building 430,000 25 years 30,000 10 years

Machine 285,000 5 years 10,000 2 years

Patent 80,000 10 years 0 3 years

Truck 21,000 100,000 miles 3,000 44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080

user100 [1]

Answer:

4,838,400

Explanation:

Assume there are already Two sets of machine working.

In the first set, there is 5 machine Operates and in another set, There are 8 machines (13-5) operates.

So Total Production sequence = First sets all combinations x Second sets all combination

= 5! x 8!

= ( 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ) x ( 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 )

= 120 x 40,320

= 4,838,400

So , total number of machine combination is 4,838,400.

Which of the following statements is true?a. Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no eff

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV.

Explanation:

Accelerated depreciation is a form of accounting and taxation used in the first years of an asset to allow greater deductions. On the other hand, the deductions are distributed evenly throughout the life of the asset using the Straight-line Depreciation method. Accelerated depreciation facilitates higher expenses to be incurred during the first years of an asset while in use, and lower expenses years later, as long as the asset depreciates.

In that sense, when it comes to the total projected cash flow of a company on a project, neither the accelerated depreciation or the straight-line method would affect it but both of them have impact on the timing of the cash flows since accelerated depreciation demands higher expenses since the beginning of the possession of the assets while the straight-line method keeps the expenses steady. Both, also affect the net present value (NPV) of the company since with the accelerated depreciation the cash flow will be less and with the straight-line method it should be constant.
