Answer:

a.loss of $4,725

Explanation:

As the asset has a historical cost of $14,725 and accumulated depreciation = $10,000, its carrying value shall be : $4,725

That is carrying value = Historical cost - Accumulated depreciation = $14,725 - $10,000

As it is provided that the asset is discarded with $0 market value, there is no amount received when the asset is discarded.

Thus, Sale price = $0

Carrying value = $4,725

Thus, loss = Sale price - Carrying value = $0 - $4,725

Loss = $4,725 as the value is negative.

Therefore, option a is correct.

kow [346]

Answer:

2011 Value of investment in Mayfair

= Beginning investment value + Portion of Mayfair net income - Portion of Mayfair dividends

= 5,700,000 + (40% * 2,250,000) - (300,000 shares * 0.15)

= $‭6,555,000‬

2012 Value of investment

= Beginning investment value + Portion of Mayfair net income - Portion of Mayfair dividends

= 6,555,000 + (40% * -180,000) - (300,000 * 0.15)

= $‭6,438,000‬

X-treme Vitamin Company is considering two investments, both of which cost $10,000. The cash flows are as follows:Year Project A
liq [111]

Answer:

A) Project A = 0.83 year

B) NPV of Project B = $14,609.66

C) Answer B

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Payback period = Last year with negative cumulative cash flows + (Absolute value of last year's cumulative cash flow ÷ Cash flow of the following year's negative cumulative cash flow)

Or, Payback period = A + ( B ÷ C)

                             Project A                                       Project B

Year   Cash Flow   Cumulative Cash Flow    Cash Flow  Cumulative Cash Flow

0 (A)   -$10,000      -$10,000 (B)                     -$10,000        -$10,000 (B)

1           $12,000 (C)      2,000                           $10,000(C)                 0

2              8,000         10,000                               6,000             6,000

3              6,000         16,000                              16,000           22,000

Payback period for project A = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 12,000) = 0 + 0.833 = 0.83 year

Payback period for project B = 0 + ($10,000 ÷ 10,000) = 0 + 1 = 1 year

X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project A because it can return the investment earlier than project B.

Requirement B

We can use excel to find the Net Present Value for both the projects with a cost of capital of 10%.

The following image shows the NPV for project A and B.

From the calculation of NPV, X-treme Vitamin Company should choose project B as that project yields more present cash flows.

Requirement C

A firm should generally have more confidence in answer b because money can produce more logical sense than a year. Yes, it is easy to understand how many years a company will need to get back its cash flow. Still, the present value of cash flows provides a more specific evaluation of how to utilize the initial investment.

Over the past year, productivity grew 2%, capital grew 1%, and labor grew 1%. If the elasticities of output with respect to capi
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The output growth rate is 3%.

Explanation:

Use the growth accounting equation as follow

ΔA% = ΔY% - αΔK% - βΔL%

Where

∆A = change in productivity = 2%

∆K = growth in capital =

∆L = growth in labor =

α = elasticity of capital = 0.2

β = elasticity of labor = 0.8

∆Y = change in output = ?

Placing values in the formula

2% = ΔY% - ( 0.2 x 1% ) – ( 0.8 x 1% )

2% = ΔY% - 1%

ΔY% = 2% + 1%

ΔY% = 3%

Hence, the output growth rate is 3%.
