Answer:
To minimise cost, the firm should lay off worker and rent more computer as it give more output per dollar invested on it. This reduce the fixed cost of the company drastically and increase the production of the company. The marginal cost of production and marginal revenue are economic parameter, which help to determine the amount of output and price per unit of input that will maximise the profits. The point at which marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost maximise the profit.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-
Depreciation
= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25
= $6,840
For First year = $6,840
For Second year = $6,840
It would be the same for the remaining useful life
b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 25
= 4%
Now the rate is double So, 8%
In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60
Answer:
$ 915.71
Explanation:
In order to determine the second bond price we need to determine the number of years to maturity of the first bond using nper formula in excel.
=nper(rate,pmt.-pv,fv)
rate is the semiannual interest rate of 6% (12%*6/12)
pmt is the semiannual interest=$1000*8.3%*6/12=$41.50
pv is the current price at $813.04
fv is the face value of $1000
=nper(6%,41.50,-813.04,1000)= 16.00
The years to maturity=16/2=8 years
The years to maturity of second bond=8+3=11 years
price of second bond=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 6%
nper is 11 years multiplied by 2= 22
pmt =5.3%*$1000=$53
fv is $1000
=-pv(6%,22,53,1000)=$915.71
Answer:
The average number of times inventory is sold during the period.
Explanation:
Inventory turnover by definition is the relationship between inventories and the cost of goods sold by a firm. It measures on average, how many times the inventory was restocked and sold in the operating period.
A higher number usually suggests a healthier operation cycle for a business.
It is measured by,
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Option 1 and Option 3 are related to the performance of accounts receivables. Option 3 is the closest to above mentioned definition. Option 4 is only measuring the inventory clearance time.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
Jacob purchased 10000 shares form Grebe corporation two years ago for $24000
last year Jacob received a non taxable stock dividend of 2000 shares from Grebe corporation
In the current year tax year Jacob sold all stock received as dividend that's 2000 shares for $18000
The gain of the sale of 2000 shares can be calculated by subtracting the basis in the shares from the cost price. the cost of shares = ( $24000 / 12000 ) = $2 per share
profit made from the sales of 2000 shares is calculated as follows ; selling price ( $18000 ) - cost price of 2000 shares ( $2 * 2000) , the profit is $14000 and it is in the long term because the original shares bought has been held for at least 1 year
