Which of the following statements about the segment margin is not true? In preparing a segmented income statement, the variable

Trava [24]

Answer: The segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin

Explanation:

Segment margin is referred to the net profit or the net loss that a particular segment of a business makes. Segment margin is used to know segments that are performing well.

It is also used to know the long-run profitability of a particular segment as it shows the margin that is available after the cost has been covered by a segment.

Based on the above illustration, the statement that isn't true will be "the segment margin is obtained by deducting the common fixed costs that have been allocated to a segment from that segment's contribution margin".

This is false as segment margin is gotten after the traceable fixed costs of a segment has been subtracted from the contribution margin of that particular segment.

Suppose that five years ago you borrowed $300,000 using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an annual interest rate of 10% with m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Explanation:

Rate of Interest =10% or 0.83% monthly

Monthly Payment under this plan=PMT(0.0083, 360, 300000) =$2,632.71

Loan outstanding after 5 years of payments =$289,723

New Interest Rate =8.5% or 0.7083% monthly

Balance Tenure= 25 years

New Monthly Installment =PMT(0.007083,300,289723) =$2,332.93

Monthly savings in installment reduction =$2,632.71 - 2,332.93 =$299.78

a. Net present value of refinancing = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-300)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x124.1886

= -14,486.15 + 37,229.25

= 22,743.10

b. With new monthly installment, balance outstanding at the end of 8th year =$278,258

Net Present Value of Refinance = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-36)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x31.68

= -14,486.15 + 9,446.46

= -4,989.68

c. For refinance loan to have net present value positive, let n payments are required,

NPV = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15 = 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15x0.00783/299.78 =(1-(1.007083)-n)

0.3423 = 1-(1.007083)-n

(1.007083)-n = 0.6577

(1.007083)n = 1.5204

Taking Log both sides,

n = log(1.5204)/log(1.007083)

n = 59.36

Hence, he would need to make 60 payments for making NPV of refinance as zero.

Equipment was purchased for $68,000 on January 1, 2013. Freight charges amounted to $2,800 and there was a cost of $8,000 for bu

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a. $26,720

Explanation:

Before computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the original cost of the equipment, after that the depreciation expense. The calculation is shown below:

Original cos t = Equipment purchase cost + freight charges + installment charges

= $68,000 + $2,800 + $8,000

= $78,800

Now the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years

= ($78,800 - $12,000) ÷ 5 years

= $13,360

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= Depreciation expense × number of years

= $13,360 × 2 years

= $26,720
