irinina [24]

Answer:

$200,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net revenue is shown below:

= Cash sales gross - Returns and allowances + credit sales gross - discounts + beginning balance of account receivable - ending balance of account receivable  

= $80,000 - $4,000 + $120,000 - $6,000 + $40,000 - $30,000

= $200,000

We simply first compute the net cash sales after considering the returns and allowances, and net credit sales after considering the discounts, and deduct the ending balance of account receivable

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $15,060

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.

We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:

= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12

= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75

= $15,000

The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B

A company's plan for the acquisition of long-lived assets, such as buildings and equipment, is commonly called a Capital Budget.

<h3>What is a Capital Budget?</h3>
  • The procedure a company uses to assess potential big projects or investments is called capital budgeting.
  • Before a project is accepted or denied, capital budgeting is necessary. Examples of such projects include the construction of a new plant or a significant investment in a third-party enterprise.
  • It is a means of locating a superior offer for the expansion of the company.
  • A company's bottom line is frequently affected by significant capital decisions, which are frequently tied to capital planning.
  • In capital budgeting, projects that improve a business are chosen. Almost everything, including the acquisition of land or the purchase of fixed assets like a new truck or machinery, can be included in the capital budgeting process.

Dragon Inc. a NJ based construction firm is evaluating whether to replace an aging machine with a new model. For the old machine
Vilka [71]

Answer:

It should replace the old machine. In the current accounting period.

Explanation:

We need to perform a relevant cost analysis:

Keep the machine:

F0 = $0

F1 = $1500 maintenance

F2 = $3,000 maintenance

F3 = $6,000 maintenance

F4 = $12,000 maintenance

F5 =$24,000 maintenance + 250 resale value

replace the machine:

F0 = -12,000 purchase + 4,000 sale of old machine = -800

F1 = $900 maintenance

F2 = $900 maintenance

F3 = $900 maintenance

F4 = $900 maintenance

F5 =$900 maintenance + 1,500 resale value

As revenues are the same for each machine, we ignore them. We will only focus on the cost each machine generate:

We solve for the present worth of each machine with a discount rate of 12%

\displaystyle PV_{old} = -\frac{1,500}{1.12} - \frac{3,000}{1.12^2} - \frac{6,000}{1.12^3} - \frac{12,000}{1.12^4} - \frac{23,750}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{old} = -29,104.15

\displaystyle PV_{new} = -8,000 - \frac{900}{1.12} - \frac{900}{1.12^2} - \frac{900}{1.12^3} - \frac{900}{1.12^4} +  \frac{600}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{new} = -10,393.16

As the present worth of the new machine is lower, the best decision for the company is to purchase the new machine and sale the old machine.

Delaying this will incur in higher maintenance cost (1,500 - 900)

and a lower recovery value (4,000 - 2,000)

As there is no cost saving for delaying the purchase, it should be made immediately.
