(I split into two arrays as I couldn't put  the entire information into one)

c) because of the time value of money the principal generates interest over time making the installment pay up both concept principal and interest.

d) they decrease as the principal decreases over time as the lease payment exceeds the interest accrued over the year.

Explanation:

a) it will record at the present value of the lease payment annuity

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

C 24,500

time 12

rate 0.09

24500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.09)^{-12} }{0.09} = PV\\

PV $175,437.7693

b)

we build the table starting withthe beginning lease value

calcualte the interest accrued over the year and subtract the lease payment

this makes a new balance of the loan principal which start the process again until it is fully paid.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Project A

Years      Cashflows     Discount factor     Present values

0            250,000                    1                           -250,000

1-10            45,100                   6.144                     277,094.40

Sum of all present value=NPV=27,094.40

IRR (by using trial and error method) = 12.4696%

Note: Discount factor for the year 1-10 is calculated by using annuity formula i.e [1-(1+10%)]/10% = 6.144

Project B

Years Cashflows Discount factor  Present values

0        (350,000)           1                              (350,000)

1           72,500               0.91                   65,975  

2           65,500               0.83                    54,365  

3           73,800                  0.75                    55,350  

4            71,500                  0.68                    48,620  

5           69,800                  0.62                   43,276  

6           75,500             0.56                   42,280  

7           31,000                  0.51                            15,810  

8           47,500                  0.47                           22,325  

9           55,500                  0.42                   23,310  

10           29,200                  0.38                    11,096

Sum of all present values=NPV=32,407

IRR(by using trial and error method=12.4186%

On the basis of NPV project B is better because it gives higher NPV than project A. Whereas, Project A is better than project B on the basis of IRR because project A has slightly higher IRR than project B.

b)The conflict between both the investment appraisal technique is likely due to different cash flow patterns of both the project. In such situation decision should be based on NPV because this is an absolute measure

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A. $45,950

B. $0.84 per liter.

Explanation:

A. February conversion costs in the Filtration Department:

= Direct labor costs(Wages of workers operating filtration equipment) + Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration

= $25,950 + $20,000

= $45,950

B. Filtration Department completely processed 150,000 liters in February.

Total cost incurred:

= Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration + Water

= $25,950 + $20,000 + $80,000

= $125,950

Filtration cost per liter:

= Total cost incurred ÷ Total units processed

= $125,950 ÷ 150,000

= $0.84 per liter.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

According to _____________, as an entity separate and distinct from its owners, the corporation acts under its own name rather than in the name of its stockholders.

C) Separate legal existence

Explanation:

This separate legal existence means that before the law, a corporation is a distinct person, just like every other person, with rights and obligations.  It can enter into binding contracts.  It can perform business activities within the ambits of the law.  It has its own name and personality that is not intertwined with those of the owners or stockholders.  It enjoys a continuous lifespan that can only be liquidated under the laws.
