Answer:

(a) 2

(b) 2.25

(c) 12.5%

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to remember that

Total \, Productivity = \frac{Total\,Ouput}{Total \, Man \, Hours}

(a) 10 persons produce 160 valves in 8 hours, this implies a productivity of 2=160/(8x10)

(b) 2.25= 180/(8x10)

(c) Percentage change is given by (2.25-2)/2=.125

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: $‭726,957.6‬0

Explanation:

The debit to Lease Receivable is the present value of the payments to be made by B Corp. for the 8 years.

Payments are made twice a year so period is 16 periods.

Rate = 8% /2

= 4%

Present value = Payments * Present value of an annuity due factor, 16 periods, 4%

= 59,980 * 12.12

= $‭726,957.6‬0

Hotaling Corporation is analyzing a capital expenditure that will involve a cash outlay of $146,040. Estimated cash flows are ex
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The solution shows that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%.

Explanation:

The IRR or internal rate of return is the rate at which NPV or Net Present Value of the investment becomes zero. We are provided with the initial outlay for the project and the annual cash inflows along with time period. Using the annuity factors given below, we need to find out the factor which makes the NPV zero. The NPV is calculated as follows,

NPV = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Initial Outlay

We can try out each annuity factor and see what NPV is generates.

1. 6% rate (Annuity factor = 5.582)

NPV = (30000 * 5.582)  -  146040

NPV = $21420

2. 8% rate (Annuity factor = 5.206)

NPV = (30000 * 5.206)  -  146040

NPV = $10140

3. 10% rate (Annuity factor = 4.868)

NPV = (30000 * 4.868)  -  146040

NPV = $0

So, from the above solution we can see that a rate of return of 10% which provides an annuity factor of 4.868 generates an NPV which is equal to zero. Thus, our IRR or internal rate of return is 10%

Pigot Corporation uses job costing and has two production departments, M and A. Budgeted manufacturing costs for the year are as
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Department M

Manufacturing overhead rate = $600,000/200,000 hrs = $3/hr

Department A

Manufacturing overhead rate = $400,000/800,000 hrs = $0.5/hr

Manufacturing overhead cost allocated:

Department M = $3 x 8,000      = $24,000

Department A  = $0.5 x 12,000 = $6,000

Total manufacturing cost allocated = $30,000

Explanation:

This relates to overhead absorption. The manufacturing overhead rate is calculated as budgeted manufacturing overhead divided by budgeted direct labour hour.

Manufacturing overhead allocated = manufacturing overhead rate x actual labour hour for each department for the job.

The owner of a personal watercraft put an ad for its sale in the paper. Her neighbor saw the ad and told her that he wanted to b
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: D. The neighbor, because obtaining financing was a condition precedent.

Explanation:

Even though it wasn't listed in the written contract, there was the condition precedent that the contract would not be binding unless funding was obtained. Condition precedent is a condition that must happen for a contract to become enforceable.

Funding was not obtained so the contract cannot be enforced. The neighbor would therefore prevail so long as the owner admits that there was indeed a condition precedent.
