Answer:

O'Mally Department Stores

The accounting rate of return for the Indiana proposal is closest to 24.28%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                              Indiana proposal        Kentucky proposal

Required investment ​                  $1,810,000 ​                $2,000,000

Estimated life                                     6 years                        6 years

Estimated residual value                ​$80,000                       ​$40,000

Estimated depreciable cost       $1,730,000                  $1,960,000

Average depreciable cost            $288,333                    $326,667

Estimated annual cash inflows

 over the next 10 years ​              $700,000 ​                    $800,000

Average cash inflows                    $70,000                       $80,000

Required rate of return                    13%                               13%

Accounting rate of return = Average cash inflows/Average depreciable cost x 100 = $70,000/$288,333 x 100 = 24.28%

The Indiana proposal of O'Mally Department Stores' accounting rate of return is the ratio of estimated accounting profit to the average investment cost.  The estimated accounting profit is equivalent to the average cash inflow and the average investment cost is equivalent to the average depreciable cost.

The anchoring and adjustment heuristic come in to play when consumers base their predictions on the quickness and ease with whic
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

It is a cognitive bias that describes the common human tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information that is offered when making decisions: the "anchor." Also known as the "focus effect." During decision making, anchoring occurs when people use an initial piece of information to make subsequent judgments. Once the anchor is fixed, the rest of the information is adjusted around the position of the anchor incurring a bias.

For example, the starting price offered for a used car sets the standard for the rest of the negotiations, making prices lower than the starting price seem more reasonable even though they are still higher than what the car is really worth. In the same way, if you ask about the population of Ukraine: "Is it greater or less than one hundred million people?", The answers will vary, but in general they will be somewhat less than this number. However, if the question were: "Is the population of Ukraine more than or less than twenty million people?" The answers will vary, but the average of answers will not change much from the initial anchor. That is, it starts from the "anchor value" and an adjustment is made ... which is usually in the right direction but of insufficient magnitude.

A 9-year annuity of 18 $10,400 semiannual payments will begin 11 years from now, with the first payment coming 11.5 years from n
hichkok12 [17]

The value of the annuity in 9 years is $204,112.77

The value of the annuity in 7 years is $174,993.80

The present value is  $102,107.20

An annuity can be described as a cash flow at regular periods. Here, this annuity provides cash flows semi-annually.

The present value of the annuity has to be determined first.

Present value is the value of an annuity at time zero. It is calculated by discounting cash flows with the discount rate.

Present value would be determined with the aid of a  Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity Table. Please find attached an image of the table.

<em><u>Annuity information </u></em>

  • payments = $10,400
  • years of payments = 9
  • Number of payments = 18
  • Start date = year 11.5
  • End date = year 20

How to use the table : the present value of annuity factor is found at where 20 (end date of the annuity) and 8% (discount rate) meet. This is 9.818

Present value =  the present value of annuity factor x semi-annual payment

$10,400 x 9.818 = $102,107.20

Value of the annuity in 9 years = $102,107.20 x (1.08)^9 = $204,112.77

Value of the annuity in 7 years = $102,107.20 x (1.08)^7 = $174,993.80

Subject: Accounting
prisoha [69]

Answer:

D) $1120

Explanation:

The goods Sally purchase were $1440, and with the 25% discount, she would have paid $1080, because 25% of $1440 is $360. Since she returned 1/3, she would have only spent $720, because $1080/3 is also $360. $720+$400 from the beginning would be $1120

In a small, closed economy, national income (GDP) is $ 400.00 million for the current quarter. Individuals have spent $ 150.00 m
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter is<em> $100,000,000.00</em>

Explanation:

<em>However, in closed economies what it simply means is that there are no exports and imports.</em>

<em />

Investment (I) = business investment plus residential investment plus inventory investment. Government Purchases (G) = general government consumption plus general government investment. Net Exports (NE) = exports minus imports plus net tourism.

∴ to calculate the amount of money spent on this closed economy, I will use the <em>Expenditure Approach formula</em> for GDP and make Investment the subject of the formula which is

GDP formula is used which states that total output/GDP (Y) is equal to Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net exports (NX). Where net exports is exports (X) minus imports (M): NX = X – M.

Where:

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M)

Where:

GDP (Y) = $400,000,000.00

C = $150,000,000.00

I = 0

G = $150,000,000.00

(X-M) = 0

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M) =

$400,000,000.00 = $150,000,000.00 + (I) + 150,000,000.00 + (X-M)

Making (I) the subject of the Formula

GDP- C -G = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $300,000,000.00

=<em> $100,000,000.00</em>

<em></em>

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter

=<em> $100,000,000.00.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note: </em><em>I did not add the Tax because I used the Expenditure approach method which does not include the tax values while the Income Approach method does include it but excludes Export and Import values.</em>
