Growth stocks:

One of two alternatives will be selected to reduce flood damage in a rural community in central Arizona. The estimates associate

pochemuha

Answer:

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

Explanation:

The alternative that should be selected can be determined using the Benefit-Cost (B/C) analysis as follows:

Incremental B/C = [Incremental Flood damage savings * ((1 + r)^-3 + (1 + r)^-9 + ((1 + r)^-18)] / [Incremental initial cost + (Incremental Annual Maintenance cost * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r))] ............... (1)

Where:

Incremental initial cost = Channel initial cost - Retention pond initial cost = $1,500,000 - $880,000 = $620,000

Incremental Annual Maintenance cost = Channel Annual Maintenance - Retention pond Annual Maintenance = $30,000 - $92,000 = -$62,000

Incremental flood damage savings = Channel Incremental flood damage savings - Retention pond incremental flood damage savings = $625,000 - $200,000 = $425,000

r = Discount rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 20

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Incremental B/C = [425000 * ((1+0.08)^-3 + (1+0.08)^-9 + (1+0.08)^-18)] / [$620,000 - ($62,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08))]

Incremental B/C = $656,340.35 / $11,274.86

Incremental B/C = 58.2127235166936

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

Incremental B/C = 58.21

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

Marian Company reported the following items for the month of July: Sales revenue $ 473 comma 300 Cost of goods sold $ 300 comma

NARA [144]

Answer:

4.33.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is a ratio that tells us the number of times a company sells and replaces its inventory. It is calculated by taking Cost of Goods Sold for a period and dividing it by Average Inventory [(Opening + Ending) / 2].

⇒ 300,000 / [(64,400 + 74,200) / 2] = 300,000 / 69,300 = 4.33.

It means that Marian Company sold its inventory 4.33 times during the Year.

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Both will charge $6,904 when they transport 16 tons of sugar.

Explanation:

The amount of sugar to be transported is S, since we need to calculate at which amount of sugar both truck companies charge the same total price, we need to solve the following:

first company charges $4,500 + $150.25 S

second company charges $3,696 + $200.50 S

since both companies will charge the same total amount, then

$4,500 + $150.25 S = $3,696 + $200.50 S

$4,500 - $3,696 = $200.50 S - $150.25 S

$804 = $50.25 S

$804 / $50.25 = S

S = 16

$4,500 + ($150.25 x 16) = $4,500 + $2,404 = $6,904

(Predetermined OH rates; capacity measures) Albertan Electronics makes inexpensive GPS navigation devices and uses a normal cost

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Albertan Electronics

a. Albertan Electronics’ predetermined variable OH rate is $20.50.

b. The predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity is $8.00.

c. The predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity is $12.00.

d1. The variable overhead applied is $1,375,000.

d2. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (b) is $880,000.

d3. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (c) is $1,320,000.

d4. The total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $8.00 FOH rate is $455,000 and the total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $12 FOH rate is $15,000.

Explanation:

a) Available 2010 budgeted data:

Variable factory overhead at 100,000 machine hours $1,250,000 ($12.50)

Variable factory overhead at 150,000 machine hours 1,875,000 ($12.50)

Fixed factory overhead at all levels between 10,000 and 180,000 machine hours = 1,440,000 ($8.00)

Practical capacity is 180,000 machine hours; expected capacity is two-thirds of practical (120,000) = $12 ($1,440,000/120,000)

Predetermined Overhead Rate:

Variable factory overhead = $12.50

Fixed factory overhead = 8.00

Predetermined overhead rate = $20.50

During 2010, the firm records 110,000 machine hours and $2,710,000 of overhead costs. How much variable overhead is applied? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (b)? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (c)? Calculate the total under- or overapplied overhead for 2010 using both fixed FOH rates.

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 = $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $8 * 110,000 = 880,000

Total overhead applied $2,255,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,255,000) 455,000

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 = $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $12 * 110,000 = 1,320,000

Total overhead applied $2,695,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,695,000) 15,000

You manage a company that competes in an industry that is comprised of four equal-sized firms that produce similar products. A r

Alja [10]

Explanation:

It is given that in the market there are four equal-sized firms that produce similar products. The market is saturated such that 10% industry-wide price rise would lead to 18% decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Going further, there is a proposed legislation that imposes a tariff on a key input used by the industry, which on realization would result in the increase in marginal cost by $2.

This means that the market elasticity of demand is:
