ANSWER
C. DIMINISHING Returns to property/ scale
EXPLANATION
Returns to Scale is a production concept used in Long Run (when all factors are variable i.e changeable)
It denotes relative change in output when all inputs change in same proportion .
Increasing Returns to Scale : Proportionate Increase in Output > Proportionate Increase in all inputs .
Constant Returns to Scale : Proportionate Increase in Output = Proportionate Increase in all Inputs .
Negative Returns to Scale : Proportionate Increase in Output < Proportionate Increase in all Inputs .
So : If all inputs are doubled (X2) - If output increases equal i.e double (X2) , Constant Returns to Scale . If output increases more i.e triple (X3) , Increasing Returns to scale . If output increases less i.e (1.5X) , Decreasing Returns to Scale.
Answer:
Answer is (A) $5,173
Explanation:
In calculating the net present value of an investment we discount the future cash flows by multiplying the future cashflows by the discounting factors attached to each year the cashflows will arise.
See Attachment for calculation done.
Answer:
1. 26%
2. YES
3. $410,000
4. $250,000
Explanation:
1. Return on Assets = Net Profits/ Total Assets = 65,000/250,000 = 26%
2. Return on Assets should be beyond satisfactory for Kyzera because its performance is better than that of the industry average which is 12%
3. Total expenses for Kyzera can be derived from the formula: Total Revenue - Total Expenses = Net Profit.
Therefore 475,000 - Total expenses = 65,000.
Total expenses = 475,000 - 65,000 = $410,000
4. The average total amount of liabilities plus equity can be derived from the balance sheet equation that states that TOTAL ASSETS = EQUITY+LIABILITIES.
Therefore liabilities plus equity = $250,000
The total of Vanessa's Child Tax Credit and Other Dependent Credit, based on her tax liability and children, is $5, 757.
<h3>What is the Child Tax Credit?</h3>
Child Tax Credit is a credit that tax payers are eligible for if they have children who depend on them. The age of the children is such that they have to be below the age of 19.
For every child that qualifies for the Child Tax credit, the tax payer gets a tax credit of $2, 000.
Vanessa has a total of 3 children who are below the age of 19 and so they all qualify which means that Vanessa qualifies for a Child Tax Credit of:
= 2, 000 x 3
= $6, 000
However, the child tax credit cannot exceed the actual tax liability of $5, 757.
Vanessa's Child Tax Credit and Other Dependent Credit is therefore the sum of $5, 757.

Answer:
1a. Payback period = <u>Initial outlay</u>
Annual cost saving
= <u>$484,500</u>
$85,000
= 5.7 years
b. The equipment should not be purchased because it has a longer payback period than the company's required payback period.
2a. $
Annual cost saving 85,000
Less: Depreciation <u>40,375</u>
Annual profit <u>44,625</u>
Simple rate of return = <u>Annual profit</u> x 100
Initial outlay
<u>$44,625</u> x 100
$484,500
= 9.21%
Depreciation = <u>Cost - Residual value</u>
estimated useful life
= <u>$484,500 - 0</u>
12 years
= $40,375 per annum
2b, The equipment should not be purchased because the simple rate of return is lower than the company's required rate of return.
Explanation:
Payback period is the ratio of initial outlay to annual cost saving. It is the period in which the initial outlay is recouped.
Simple rate of return is the ratio of annual profit to initial outlay. It measures the rate of return on capital invested.
