Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manuf
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

Explanation:

To determine which option kiddy should choose , we are to calculate the net present value of buying the machine and the present value of payments thay kiddy would make if they lease the equipment.

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:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-161,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-6,000

Cash flow in year 12 = $-6,000 + $11,000 = $5,000

I = 11%

NPV = $-196,809.89

Present value of lease payment

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 11 = $-26,000

I = 11%

PV = $-161,369.40

The machine should be leased because it is cheaper when compared to buying the machine.

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

Present value can be calculated using the same steps as above

Answer:

Vaughn Manufacturing

1. The weighted-average accumulated expenditures for 2017 were:

c. $1,200,000.

2. The interest capitalized for 2017 was:

b. $144,000

3. The weighted-average accumulated expenditures for 2018 by the end of the construction period were:  

= $2,546,000.

4. The interest capitalized for 2018 was:

= $267,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expenditures for the construction were as follows:

Date                                   Amount of     No. of months  Weighted Average

                                         expenditure                                 Expenditure

2020:

January 2, 2020                 $613,000         12/12                     $613,000

September 1, 2020            1,802,400          4/12                       600,800

December 31, 2020          1,802,400          0/12                        0

Total weighted-average expenditure for 2020 =                $1,213,800

Which is approximately = $1,200,000

Interest capitalized = $144,000 ($1,200,000 * 12%)

Capitalized expenditure by December 31, 2020 = $1,344,000 ($1,200,000 + $144,000)

Date                                   Amount of     No. of months  Weighted Average

                                         expenditure                                 Expenditure

2021:

January 1, 2021                 1,344,000        9/9                   $1,344,000

March 31, 2021                  1,802,400       6/9                      1,201,600

September 30, 2021        1,203,000        0/9                      0

Total weighted-average expenditure for 2020 =           $2,545,600

Which is approximately $2,546,000

Interest capitalized for 2018 = $267,330 ($2,546,000 * 10.5%)

Approximately $267,000

Assume the macro islands can produce either 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. the micro islands can produ
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is an advantage an individual, organization or country has to use <em>opportunity costs</em> in their production compared to their competitors. The scenario described above does not imply that the individual, organization or country has an absolute advantage.

In the example proposed:

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in fishing boats = \frac{25}{150}=  0.17
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in fishing boats = \frac{30}{300} = 0.10

  • Comparative advantage of Macro islands in jars = \frac{150}{25} = 6
  • Comparative advantage of Micro islands in jars = \frac{300}{30} = 10

Thus, <em>the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats, and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.</em>
