Answer:

None of the options are correct

Explanation:

The train would cost her, which is computed as:

= Cost + (Hours × Opportunity Cost)

= $400 + (4 hours × $15 per hour)

= $400 + $60

= $460

The driving would cost her, which is computed as:

= Cost + (Hours × Opportunity Cost)

= $250 + (6 hours × $15 per hour)

= $250 + $90

= $340

Savings = Train Cost - Driving Cost

= $460 - $340

=$120

None of the options are correct as the she would save $120.

Kingbird Inc. owns equipment that cost $672,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $174,000. The expected future net cash flows
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this scenario, we compare the values between book value and the fair value of equipment, the difference would be the loss on impairment of the asset

In mathematically,  

= Book value - fair value

where,

Book value = Equipment cost - accumulated depreciation

                   = $672,000 - $174,000

                   = $498,000

And, the fair value is $384,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $498,000 - $384,00

= $114,000

Now the journal entry would be

Loss on impairment A/c Dr $114,000

      To Accumulated depreciation A/c $114,000

(Being the impairment loss is recorded)

A stock paying $5 in annual dividends currently sells for $80 and has an expected return of 14%. What might investors expect to
Drupady [299]

Answer:

$86.20

Explanation:

Total return from stock = Current price * expected return

Total return from stock = 80*14%

Total return from stock = $11.20

Dividend already realized = $5

Capital gain = $11.20 - $5

Capital gain = $6.20

End of one year price = Beginning price + capital gain

End of one year price = $80 + $6.20

End of one year price = $86.20

Therefore, at the end of one year price is $86.20
