Answer:

Sell option is preferred.

Explanation:

The decision whether to lease out the machinery that is surplus to requirement or sell outrightly is dependent on the differential analysis performed below.In the analysis I have compared the profits under each option in order to guide the final decision:

Differential analysis as at 7th November(Sale or lease option)                      

                                                                         Sell option              lease option

revenue   from sell/lease option                        $180,000                 $200,000

Brokerage commission(5%*$180,000)                 ($9,000)                        -

costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes          -                        ($34,400)

Profits                                                                        $171,000              $165,600

The sell option provides $5400($171,000-$165,600) than the lease option,hence the sell option is preferred.

One would have expect that the lease option since it has more revenue to preferable but the costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes were also on the high side

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Your stock will be valued in $20,838.

Explanation:

If there are no taxes, it is expected that the value of the stock will lower the amount of the dividend. That means

Stock price (April 19) = stock price - dividend = 93-2.4=90.6 $/share

In this case, your stock of 230 shares will be valued as

Stock value = Stock share * stock price = 230 shares * $90.6/share

Stock value = $ 20,838

Your stock will be valued in $20,838.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

D. $33.47

Explanation:

The computation of overhead cost per skateboard using an activity-based costing system is shown below:-

                                    Total          Expected           Activity

Activity pool cost      Overheads    Activity               Rate

Setup cost                     $6,550           665                9.85

Engineering cost          $16,000        1,120                14.29

maintenance cost        $91,450        4,353               21.01

Activity pool cost          Rate             Driver         Overhead cost  

Setup cost                       9.85              320              3,152  

Engineering cost             14.29             630             9,002.7

maintenance cost            21.01              2,178           45,759.78  

Total Overheads cost                                               57,914.48

Number of units                                                               1,730

Overhead cost per unit                                                $33.48

Therefore for computing the overhead cost per unit we simply divide the total overhead cost by number of units.
