Answer:

The manager should pick project B

Explanation:

To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

NPV for project A

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-335,000

year 1 = $140,000

year 2 = $150,000

year 3 = $100,000

I = 6%

NPV= $14,536.87

NPV for project B

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-365,000

year 1 = $220,000

year 2 = $110,000

year 3 = $150,000

I = 6%

NPV= $66,389.67

Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

At​ year-end, Simple has cash of $ 22 comma 000​, current accounts receivable of $ 80 comma 000​, merchandise inventory of $ 24
oee [108]

Answer:

45.62 days

Explanation:

For computing the average number of days receivables, first, we have to calculate the account receivable ratio. The formula is shown below:

Account receivable ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

where,

Average account receivable = (Beginning account receivable balance + ending account receivable balance) ÷ 2

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $480,000 ÷ ($40,000 + $80,000 ÷ 2)

= $480,000 ÷ $60,000

= 8 times

Now, the average level of​ receivables equals to

= Total number of days in a year ÷ Account receivable ratio

= 365 days ÷ 8

= 45.62 days

g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100

Which of the following best approximates a pure monopoly? rev: 05_15_2018 Multiple Choice
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

3) The only bank in a small town

Explanation:

By definition a monopoly occurs when there is only one supplier in the market for a specific good or service. In this case, if there is only one bank that works in a small town, then that bank has a monopoly of all the town's residents that require banking services. If any resident doesn't like that specific bank, they need to go to another town in search for banking services.
