Answer:B. If the payback period is less than the maximum acceptable payback period, accept the project.
Explanation:
The payback period measures if a capital investment is profitable.
The payback period measures how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a capital project. It calculates how long it takes for the cash flows generated from a capital project to be equal to the cost.
For example if a project costs $10,000. It cash flows in year 1,2,3 and 4 are $5000, $3000, $2000, $6000. The payback period is 3 years. If the company has a maximum acceptable payback period of 2 years, then the company won't take on the project because its payback period is more than the maximum acceptable payback period.
If the company has a maximum acceptable payback period of 4 years, then the company would take on the project because its payback period is less than the maximum acceptable payback period.
To
determine what the depreciation of an asset using straight line method, the
formula to be used is:
(Initial
cost of machine – salvage value) divided by estimated useful life
So in
this problem:
Initial Cost
- $135000
Salvage
Value – $15000
Estimated
Useful Life – 5 years
Plug that
in the formula
Annual
depreciation = ($135000 - $15000) / 5
= $120000/
5
= $24,000
The first
year depreciation for the machine is $24000 because the company bought it in
the beginning of the year. (So there is no need to divide this by 12 months)
To record
this:
Depreciation
Expense $24000
<span> Accumulated Depreciation $24000</span>
Answer:
c. they have been insured against misappropriation of assets.
Explanation:
A company bonds its employees to protect itself against theft by its workers. Being bonded means securing the money available to customers if a claim is made against the company. Bonding offers compensation to a business should a loss arise through employee's actions.
The law requires companies that handle cash and cash equivalents such as stocks certificates to bond their employees. A company may choose from the various types of bond insurance in the market. For example, employers may use the fidelity bond to protect against employee theft.
