Answer:

<em>c. $(265,460)</em>

Explanation:

The net present value of Project A shall be determined as needed.

The cash inflow of 31 December 2015 is five years from the current cash outflow and the net present value method uses the 18 per cent capital cost of the company.

The current value factor for 18 percent for 5 years is.4371, and $7.400,000 times.4371 is equivalent to $3.234.540, which is $265.460 lower than the current cash outflow of $3.5 million.

On january 1, year 2, kincaid company's accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts carried balances of $31,000
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$27,725

Explanation:

Given that,

kincaid company's accounts receivable = $31,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 = $500

Wrote off receivables as uncollectible = $550

1% of credit sales

cash collections of receivables = $74,550

Accounts receivable:

= Accounts receivable at January 1 + Credit sales - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible - Cash collection of receivables

= $31,000 + $72,500 - $550 - $74,550

= $28,400

Accounts for Doubtful Accounts:

= Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible + 1% of credit sales

= $500 - $550 + (0.01 × $72500)

= $500 - $550 + $725

= $675

Net realizable value of receivables:

= Accounts receivable - Accounts for Doubtful Accounts

= $28,400 - $675

= $27,725

Therefore, the net realizable value of receivables appearing on kincaid's year 2 balance sheet will amount to $27,725.

Suppose that five years ago you borrowed $300,000 using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an annual interest rate of 10% with m
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Explanation:

Rate of Interest =10% or 0.83% monthly

Monthly Payment under this plan=PMT(0.0083, 360, 300000) =$2,632.71

Loan outstanding after 5 years of payments =$289,723

New Interest Rate =8.5% or 0.7083% monthly

Balance Tenure= 25 years

New Monthly Installment =PMT(0.007083,300,289723) =$2,332.93

Monthly savings in installment reduction =$2,632.71 - 2,332.93 =$299.78

a. Net present value of refinancing = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-300)/0.007083}

                                                  = -14,486.15 + 299.78x124.1886

                                                  = -14,486.15 + 37,229.25

                                                  = 22,743.10

b. With new monthly installment, balance outstanding at the end of 8th year =$278,258

Net Present Value of Refinance = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-36)/0.007083}

                                                  = -14,486.15 + 299.78x31.68

                                                  = -14,486.15 + 9,446.46

                                                  = -4,989.68

c. For refinance loan to have net present value positive, let n payments are required,

NPV = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15 = 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15x0.00783/299.78 =(1-(1.007083)-n)

0.3423 = 1-(1.007083)-n

(1.007083)-n = 0.6577

(1.007083)n = 1.5204

Taking Log both sides,

n = log(1.5204)/log(1.007083)

n = 59.36

Hence, he would need to make 60 payments for making NPV of refinance as zero.

Fusaro Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate base on machine-hours that it recalculates at the beginning of each year.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fusaro Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate base on machine-hours.

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead= $684,000

Estimated activity level= 40,000 machine-hours

Actual activity level 37,700 machine-hours

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 684,000/40,000= $17.1 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate the manufacturing overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 17.1* 37,700= $644,670

If an individual investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock mark
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a. False

Explanation:

A "primary transaction" refers to the selling of <em>new stocks and bonds</em> for the first time towards the public. A great example of this is the "Initial Public Offering" <em>(IPO)</em> which allows "public share issuance."

On the other hand, a "secondary transaction" refers to the<em> trading of investors among themselves.</em> There is no involvement of the issuing companies here. So, this means that if an investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock market,<u> the transaction</u><u> doesn't directly involve the issuing compan</u><u>y.</u> This kind of transaction is then called "secondary."

So, this explains the answer.
