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)

Stones Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply overhead to the manufacturing process. Las
likoan [24]

Answer: $5 per machine hour

Explanation:

Given the following :

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000

Expected machine-hour to be incurred = 110,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $575,000

Actual machine hour incurred = 120,000

The manufacturing overhead application rate:

Expected manufacturing overhead cost / Expected machine hour to be incurred

= $550,000 / 110,000 machine hour

= $5 per machine hour

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Ruby should go to college.

Explanation:

Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.  

She would like to retire at 67.  

She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.

After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.

The total cost of a graduate degree is $75,000.  

Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.  

Her income will increase by $5,000 after college

The increase in income earned after college until retirement

= $5,000 \times 17

= $85,000

Since the increase in income is greater than the cost of going to college, Ruby should go to college.
