Miller Mining, a calendar-year corporation, purchased the rights to a copper mine on July 1, Year 1. Of the total purchase price

, $2.8 million was appropriately allocable to the copper. Estimated reserves were 800,000 tons of copper. Miller expects to extract and sell 10,000 tons of copper per month. Production began immediately. The selling price is $25 per ton. Miller uses percentage depletion (15%) for tax purposes. To aid production, Miller also purchased some new equipment on July 1, Year 1. The equipment cost $76,000 and had an estimated useful life of 8 years. After all the copper is removed from this mine, however, the equipment will be of no use to Miller and will be sold for an estimated $4,000. If sales and production conform to expectations, what is Miller’s depreciation expense on the new equipment for financial accounting purposes for the Year 1 calendar year?
a. $10,800
b. $5,400
c. $9,000
d. $4,500

Answer:

d. $4,500

Explanation:

The computation of depreciation expense on the new equipment is shown below:-

For computing the depreciation expense on the new equipment first we need to find out the Depreciation per annum which is here below:-

Depreciation per annum = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Life

= ($76,000 - $4,000) ÷ 8

= $72,000 ÷ 8

= $9,000

Depreciation for 1 year calendar (July 1 to Dec 31) = Depreciation per annum × 6 months ÷ Total number of months in a year

= $9,000 × 6 ÷ 12

= $4,500

So, the depreciation expenses for the year end up-to 31st Dec is $4,500

A project has cash flows of -$152,000, $60,800, $62,300, and $65,000 for years 0 to 3, respectively. The required rate of return
Blababa [14]

Answer:

c. 11.32; reject

Explanation:

The IRR is the rate at with net present value equals zero.

-152,000 + \frac{60,800}{1+IRR} +\frac{62,300}{(1+IRR)^{2} } +\frac{65,000}{(1+ IRR)^{3} } = 0

\left[\begin{array}{cc}Period&Cash Flow\\0&-152,000\\1&+60,800\\2&+62,300\\3&+65,000\\4&0.113237029\\\end{array}\right]

To solve it you use excel or a financial calculator:

0.1132370

Because the IRR is lower than minimun aceptable rate of return, the project should be rejected.

Suppose that United States produces 10,000,000 barrels of oil and 1,000 bushels of wheat each week. Suppose that Pakistan produc
Darya [45]

Answer:

1. 1,000 bushels of wheat

2.  d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other

Explanation:

1 & 2. Autarky refers to a situation where a country does not engage in trade with other countries but rather relies on its own production capacities to feed the consumption in the country.

Autarkies in the current world are not a thing because countries trade with each other. Even North Korea trades with Russia, China and others.

In an Autarky situation therefore, the United States would only be able to consume the wheat that it produces itself which according to the question is 1,000 bushels of wheat.

The supply and demand curves show data for trendy smartphone covers. How would the graph change if the producer hired a popular
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The correct answer is option B; Add D2 to the right of D, showing an increase in demand and increase in equilibrium price.

Explanation: The demand for a commodity is usually affected either positively or negatively by some factors or determinants. Foremost among the factors of demand is price of the commodity. Other factors include;

(a) Price of substitute commodities

(b) Consumers preferences

(c) Population

(d) Weather conditions

(e) Advertising

In the question above, the use of a popular actor as the spokesperson of the product is a form of advertising that is intended to improve upon the perception of the commodity and hence encourage consumers to buy more of it. If the popular personality endorses a product, there is an almost one hundred percent likelihood that consumers would see the product as a preferred choice and this would cause the demand to go up or increase.

An increase in the market demand would be signified by the outward shift of the demand curve to the right from D to D2. Since the x-axis shows the quantity demanded increasing towards the right hand side, then an increase in market demand would be reflected by a shift of the demand curve to the right.

As a result of that, the price would now move from P to P2 which shows an increase in equilibrium price. Also the quantity demanded would move from Q to Q2 which also indicates an increase in demand.
