Almendarez Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $150,000 and would last for 5 years. At the end

of 5 years, the machine would have a salvage value of $18,000. By reducing labor and other operating costs, the machine would provide annual cost savings of $39,000. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 13% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.)The net present value of the proposed project is closest to: a. $(45,000)b. $(3,063)c. $11,983d. $(18,410)

Answer:

b. $(3,063)  

Explanation:

This can be calculated as the present value of a cost-saving project, with rate of return equal to 13%. In the table, its the cash flow (in thousands of dollars)

Item/Year                    0            1          2         3        4         5

Cost-savings                           39       39       39       39       39

Salvage value                                                                       18

Purchase                  -150

TOTAL                      -150        39       39       39       39       57

With these cash flows, we can calculate the present value discounting at the rate of return of 13%:

PV=\sum_{k=0}^5CF_i(1+i)^{-k}\\\\PV=-150,000/1.13^0+39,000/1.13^{-1}+39,000/1.13^{-2}+39,000/1.13^{-3}+39,000/1.13^{-4}+57,000/1.13^{-5}\\\\PV= -150,000+34,513+30,543+27,029+ 23,919  +30,937 \\\\PV=-3,058

The present value is closest to Option b. $(3,063)

All of the following statements regarding accounting treatments for liabilities under U.S. GAAP and IFRS are true except:_______
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

A) Accounting for bonds and notes under US GAAP and IFRS is similar.

Explanation:

US GAAP and IFRS do not have the same accounting guideline for bond issue cost:

Under US GAAP, bonds payable is recorded at face value while premiums or discounts are recorded separately. While under IFRS, bonds payable is recorded using the carrying value, and amortization or premiums or discounts is done by using the effective-interest method.

1. Identify and briefly discuss three factors which influence the choice of crops produced by commercial farmers?[ 2. What is th
wolverine [178]

Answer:

1. a) Location,

    b) earnings

    c) Whether the crop can be produced by its resources or not

Explanation:

Farmer traders consider location as an important element for their crops, the location depends on the quality of the land and the taxes it will pay, and the location of their crop is important for the transport of their products to ensure they arrive in the best condition to the market.

Likewise, the farmer considers as an influential factor how much profit he will obtain with the harvested product, choosing to cultivate the one that produces the greatest benefits, also he must consider having all the labor and resources that are necessary to carry out his harvest and be able to transport it to market it.      

2. Dairy producers need to consider the proximity of farms to the distribution market because the product has a limited time to go expire .

Explanation:

Dairy products are the most delicate and difficult to transport since they have a short time to expire, this is one of the reasons that commercial farmers should take into account that the location of their farm is at a considerable distance from the market, in this way being able to transport their product more safely and distribute it without fear that it expires and lose all their profits.

3. A commercial farmer is concerned with two costs, one of which is the cost of transportation and the other cost is whether there will be a benefit to his crop.

Explanation:  

Commercial farmers at the time of cultivation consider two very important costs for them, one of them the cost of transporting their products to the place of distribution, so they must ensure that it is not very high since it is also important for them the benefit they will get, for this reason, farmers take care that the investment is less so they can enjoy good profits.

   

4. Von Thunen's theory mentions that the distance to the market is a critical point for farmers. Von Thunen explains that a farmer's earnings may decrease the further from the market where he sells his products.

Explanation:

5.  1. One of Von Thunen's assumptions is that there is only one market available and it is self-sufficient without outside influence.

    2. Another assumption is the physical environment is uniform; without rivers, mountains, etc.

    3. And one last assumption is that all farmers act to maximize profits.

Explanation:

1. In Von Thunen's first assumption, he considers there is only one market available and it does not need external influences, but this assumption may not be so correct since there cannot be a single market due to the consumer demand that exists and because there are other farmers from different cities that will bring their products, also cities need an external influence for change, and changes are necessary for the growth of the city.

2. In his theory, Von Thunen mentions the physical environment of the places for agricultural production is uniform, which is difficult due to the landforms that create modifications in the terrain, this uniformity that Thunen mentions could only be achieved if the grounds were modified by men.

3. Thunen's last assumption mentions a very successful situation where farmers carry out actions to obtain the greatest profits, they will continue working to continue obtaining the best benefits.

6. 1. In the middle ring is the market. The market is central because it is the most important part of the city and is easily accessible from the surrounding areas.

   2. The next ring consists of intensive farming and dairy. These products are closer because they are in higher demand and other products can expire.

  3. The next ring is the forest. Wood was also in high demand due to the fact that it was used for heating and cooking. And it had this location because the wood was very heavy and difficult to transport.

  4. The penultimate ring was used for extensive cultivation as bread grains. These are lighter, which makes them easier to transport and cost less money.

  5. And finally, the final outer ring is used for livestock. Animals can be born and raised further from the market because they transport themselves, which means there is no need for fuel, saving the farmer money.

Explanation:  

Von Thunen in his theory mentioned the importance of geographical distribution in agriculture, in which merchant farmers could take advantage of the conditions of the land. For Thunen the distribution and location of the land in an appropriate way would generate the best benefits, for it must organize from the most essential and difficult to transport to the easiest to transport, in this way, for Von Thunen the rings in the markets should be formed.
