Answer:
Alternative 1 $27.7
Alternative 2 $30.25
Differential effects $2.55
Explanation:
Preparation of a differential analysis
DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS
Sell unfinished desks(Alternative 1 ) Process further into finished desks (Alternative 2) Differential effect (Alternative 2)
Revenue per desk $65.35 $74.50 $9.15
($74.50-$65.35=$9.15)
Cost per desk - $37.65 -$44.25 -$6.60
($37.65+$6.60=$44.25)
Profit /Loss per desk $27.7 $30.25 $2.55
($65.35 - $37.65=$27.7)
($74.50-$44.25=$30.25)
($9.15-$6.60=$2.55)
Therefore the company should process further and sell finished desks because it yields incremental Profit per desk.
Answer:
Please refer explanation and tables attached
Explanation:
1. Double-declining balance Method:
This is where the asset's value is depreciated at twice the rate than the straight line method. The depreciation amounts would be higher in the early years of the asset's life and gradually reduce towards the end. Hence, it does not mean that the depreciation amount would be higher than the straight line basis.
Straight Line depreciation per year = 1/6* x 100 = 16.67%
*as it is useful for six years
Hence double-depreciation value = 16.67% x 2 = 33.34%
It is calculated as depreciation rate x book value of asset at the beginning of the period.
Please refer attached table one for all years depreciation.
2. Activity based depreciation is whereby an asset is depreciated based on the asset’s activity such as the number of hours worked or the number of units produced, during a particular period of time. Activity based depreciation per year is calculated as:
[(Cost - Salvage value) x activity performed during the period] / Total estimated life activity of the asset
Please refer attached table two for all years depreciation.
Answer: B. a traditional economy
Explanation:A traditional economy is one which doesn't operate under a profit motive.
Instead, it emphasizes the trading and bartering of products and services that enable participants to subsist in a specific region, community and/or culture. Largely, traditional economies are a way of life in underdeveloped countries that rely more on old-fashioned economic models like farming or hunting than on newer-age modes like industry and technology.
Answer:
D)The optimal capital structure is the one that simultaneously (i) maximizes the price of the firm's stock, (ii) minimizes its WACC, and (iii) maximizes its EPS.
Explanation:
When the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) decreases, the company's profit increases.
So a capital structure that minimizes the WACC will maximize its profits, leading to a maximization of the earnings per share (EPS) and the price of the company's stock. The more the company makes, the higher the price of its stock and the higher its EPS.
