Answer:

(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years

(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%

Explanation:

Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850

The useful life is 5 years

The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year

The salvage value is $107,100

(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows

= cost/amount of cash flow

= 283,850/81,100

= 3.5 years

(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows

First we calculate the depreciation expense

= 283,850-107,100/5

= 176,750/5

= 35,350

Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses

= 283,850-35,350

= 248,500

Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100

= 248,500/283,850 × 100

= 0.875 × 100

= 87.5%

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

David Segal started a business. During the first month (October 20--), the following transactions occurred.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity (Capital – Drawing + Revenues – Expenses) = $17,017

Explanation:

Note: See the attached xlsx file for the effect of each transaction on the individual accounts of the expanded accounting equation and the report of the total of each element.

In the attached xlsx file, transaction (c) is treated in such a way that the insurance for the month of October 20—is accounted for under the following:

Prepaid Insurance = One-year insurance premium - (One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year) = $1,000 - ($1,000 / 12) = $1,000 - $83 = $917

Expenses = One-year insurance premium / Number of months in a year = $1,000 / 12 = $83
