Answer:

The payback period for each of the project is - project A = 3.33 and project B = 2.13

Explanation:

First of all the payback period means the amount of time it would take for  a company to recover its initial cost or investment which it has invested in the project .

<u>Calculating the payback period for project A</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted

                                 cash flow        factor              value        cumulative flow

( NOTE - Formula used for discounting factor = 1 / (1 + i)^n, where i = 16% which is the rate of return on the investment and n is the number of years.)

0   -$343,000       -$343,000          1                  -$343,000         -$343,000

1     $52,000         -$291,000          .86206         $44,828           -$298,172

2    $72,000          -$219,000         .74314            $53,508         -$244,665

3    $72,000          -$147,000         .64063            $46,127         -$198,537

4    $447,000         $300,000        .55226           $2,46,874        $48,337

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 3 + $147,000 / $447,000

= 3.33 ( payback period for project A )

<u>Calculating the payback period for project B</u>

Year   Cash flow      Cumulative    Discounting     Present    Discounted                                                              

                                   cash flow       factor              value         cash flow

0        -$50,000         -$50,000         1                   -$50,000    -$50,000

1          $24,700          -$25,300         .86206        $21,293       -$28,707

2         $22,700          -$2600            .74314          $16,869      - $11,838

3         $20,200          $17,600           . 64063        $12,941        $1013

4         $15,300           $32,900          .55226         $8,450        $9463

Now we will in which year the cash flow was last negative and then in that we will add ( cumulative cash flow of the year it was last negative / cash flow of the next period ).

= 2 + 2600 / 20,200

= 2.13 ( payback period for project B)

On October 1, Company B records 1 year of prepaid rent in an income statement account then adjusts for the unexpired prepaid ren
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The first journal entry was not the most appropriate, but since the mistake was correctly adjusted at the end of the year, both assets and expenses will be the same whether they did it correctly the first time or they had to adjust a mistake at the end of the year.

E.g. something like this happened

October 1, rent expense for 1 year

Dr Rent expense 12,000

    Cr Cash 12,000

December 31, adjustment to rent expense

Dr Prepaid rent 10,000

    Cr Rent expense 10,000

they should have recorded it as:

October 1, prepaid rent for 1 year

Dr Prepaid rent 12,000

    Cr Cash 12,000

December 31, adjustment to rent expense

Dr Rent expense 2,000

    Cr Prepaid rent 2,000

Whichever way you recorded the transactions, the balances a the end of the year would be:

prepaid rent (asset) $10,000

rent expense (expense) $2,000
