Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price index in 1949 = 24

Price index in 1987 = 108

Price index in 2000 = 126.5

Cost of building hospital in 1987 = $500,000

According to these numbers, the hospital cost in 2000 is about:

= Cost of building hospital in 1987 × (Price index in 2000 ÷ Price index in 1949)

= $500,000 × (126.5 ÷ 24)

= $500,000 × 5.27

= $2,635,417 > $1.7 million

Therefore, it is more than the cost of the courthouse restoration in 2000 dollars.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 = $0

Interest recognized on the Income statement = $1,800

Liabilities recognized = $90,000

Amount paid for Principal and interest = $93,600

Interest reported on 2019 Income statement = 1800

Explanation:

Interest paid in cash in 2018 is zero because interest and principal were paid in cash on the maturity date.

Interest recognized in 2018 = 90000*0.08*3/12 = $1800

liabilities are recognized at original amount because the interest is not capitalized and no payment made thus far.

Amount paid on maturity date is 93,600 ( 90000 principal, 3600 interest)

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,  

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years
