Answer:

The value of the option to wait is $0.70,option A.

Explanation:

In calculating the value of the option to wait,I discounted all cash flows under both alternatives, using the discount rate of 12% as given in the question.

Option to start now gives net present value(positive return ) of $360.64 while the other one gives $361.34,invariably option to wait one year gives $0.70($361.34-$360.64) more than the option to start now.

The formula used in the calculating present value is PV=FV(1+r)^n

Where PV=present value

FV=future value

r=rate of interest

n=number of year

Find attached spreadsheet for detailed calculations.

On April 30, 2017, Tilton Products purchased machinery for $88,000. The useful life of this machinery is estimated at 8 years, w
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$6,666.67 and $10,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the year 2017 and 2018 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)  

= ($88,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= ($80,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= $10,000

Since the machinery is purchased on April 30 and we assume the books are closed on December 31 so the number of months calculated is 8 months

Therefore for the year 2017 the depreciation expense is

= $10,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months

= $6,666.67

And, for the year 2018 the depreciation expense is same i.e $10,000
