Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000

, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?

Answer:

the company should choose method 1

Explanation:

                                                  Method 1                Method 2

Initial outlay                              $550,000               $830,000

operating costs (years 1,2,3)    $160,000                $120,000

salvage value                            $125,000               $324,000

we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:

method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 =  <u>$853,982</u>

method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

cash                   96,535 debit

discount on BP    3,465 debit

          Bonds Payable          100,000 credit

Explanation:

We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:

Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000

time 4  (2 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.06  (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)

5000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-4} }{0.06} = PV\\  

PV $17,325.5281  

 

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity (face value)   $100,000.00  

time   4.00  

rate  0.06

\frac{100000}{(1 + 0.06)^{4} } = PV  

PV   79,209.37  

 

PV c $17,325.5281  

PV m  $79,209.3663  

Total $96,534.8944  

As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:

100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465

the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity

we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds

My name is Ann [436]

A customer who shares his or her views of a firm's product and gets attention from other customers who respect these views is referred to as an opinion leader.

Opinion leaders are individuals or businesses who might be professionals inside an industry or otherwise have perspectives that are both well-known and trusted. As a result, they are able to have an impact on public opinions—such as the opinions of your clients.

Merton distinguishes two varieties of opinion leadership: monomorphic and polymorphic. Typically, opinion leadership is considered as a monomorphic, domain-unique degree of individual variations, this is, someone who is an opinion leader in one field may be a follower in some other subject.

Opinion leaders act as an intermediary between marketers and their target audiences. They acquire information about a sure product, summarize its pros and cons, and bring it to clients in an easy manner. Thought leaders also replace purchasers with product information and supply recommendation on a way to use it.

Data related to the inventories of Mountain Ski Equipment and Supplies is presented below:
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

<em>b. $ 90,000.</em>

Explanation:

Net realizable value(Market value) for apparel=Selling price minus associated selling expenses e.g sales commission.

Market value for  Apparel= $ 120,000-(120,000*10%)

                                          =$ 120,000-12,00

Market value for  Apparel =$108,000

Apparel cost=$90,000

The lower of the above costs is $90,000.

Lower of cost or market is one of approaches of valuing and reporting inventory. Ending inventory is usually stated at historical cost. When original cost of the ending inventory is greater than the net realizable value, meaning that the inventory has lost value. The inventory has decreased in value below historical cost, then its carrying value is reduced and reported on the balance sheet. The method for reporting this is called current market value.

At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

6.53%      

Explanation:

For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050.76

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100

NPER = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying this above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)

= 6.53%
