You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pr

etax operating costs of $78,000 per year. The Techron II costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the EAC for both machines.

Answer:

EAC Techron I = -$141,050

EAC Techron II = -$138,181

Explanation:

Techron I costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. Salvage value $55,000, use straight line depreciation.

annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11)³] / 0.11 = 2.4437

depreciation expense per year = ($285,000 - $55,000) / 3 = $76,667

cash outflow years 1 and 2 = [($78,000 + $76,667) x (1 - 24%)] - $76,667 = ($154,667 x 0.76) - $76,667 = $40,880

cash outflow year 3 = [($78,000 + $76,667) x (1 - 24%)] - $76,667 - $55,000 = ($154,667 x 0.76) - $76,667 - $55,000 = -$14,120

NPV = -285,000 - 40,880/1.11 - 40,880/1.11² + 14,120/1.11³ = -285,000 - 36,829 - 33,179 + 10,324 = -344,684

EAC = NPV / annuity factor = -344,684 / 2.4437 = -$141,050

Techron II costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. Salvage value $55,000, use straight line depreciation.

annuity factor = [1 - 1/(1 + r)ⁿ] / r = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11)⁵] / 0.11 = 3.6959

depreciation expense per year = ($495,000 - $55,000) / 5 = $88,000

cash outflow years 1 through 4 = [($45,000 + $88,000) x (1 - 24%)] - $88,000 = ($133,000 x 0.76) - $88,000 = $13,080

cash outflow year 5 = [($45,000 + $88,000) x (1 - 24%)] - $88,000 - $55,000 = ($133,000 x 0.76) - $88,000 - $55,000 = -$41,920

NPV = -495,000 - 13,080/1.11 - 13,080/1.11² - 13,080/1.11³ - 13,080/1.11⁴ + 41,920/1.11⁵ = -495,000 - 11,784 - 10,616 - 9,564 - 8,616 + 24,877 = -510,703

EAC = NPV / annuity factor = -510,703 / 3.6959 = -$138,181

The actual cost of direct materials is $10.50 per pound. The standard cost per pound is $11.75. 42) During the current period 10
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Direct materials efficiency variance =  1175 unfavorable

so correct option is C) $1,175 unfavorable

Explanation:

given data

actual cost = $10.50 per pound

standard cost per pound =  $11.75

current period  = 10,000 pounds

purchased = 11,500 pounds

actual units produced = 9,900 pounds

to find out

direct materials efficiency variance

solution

we get here Direct materials efficiency variance that is express as

Direct materials efficiency variance = Standard rate × ( Standard quantity - Actual quantity )     ..................1

put here value in equation 1 and  we get

Direct materials efficiency variance =  11.75 × ( 10000 - 9900 )

Direct materials efficiency variance = 11.75 × 100

Direct materials efficiency variance =  1175 unfavorable

so correct option is C) $1,175 unfavorable

In which statement(s) are "demand" and "quantity demanded" used correctly? (I) "An increase in the price of tea will reduce the
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": in both statements I and II.

Explanation:

(I) According to the demand law, <em>if the price of tea increases the quantity demanded of tea will decrease</em>. If the price of tea decreases, the quantity demanded of tea will increase. Quantity demanded and the price has an inversely proportional relationship in the demand law.

(II) When talking about complementary goods like tea and sugar, <em>if the price of tea increases will result in a negative movement along the demand curve of tea and will cause the demand curve of sugar to move inwards. In such a scenario, the demand for each good will be reduced.</em>

Marginal cost is ________ the average variable cost and the average total cost when they are ________
fredd [130]

Answer: equal to; at their minimum.

Explanation: Marginal cost is equal to the average variable cost and the average total cost when they are at their minimum.

Thus, when average total cost is increasing, marginal cost must be above average total cost; and when at its minimum, marginal cost is equal to average total cost. Also, when average variable cost is at its minimum, marginal cost equals average variable cost.

Marginal cost is the increase in the cost that accompanies a unit increase in output; the partial derivative of the cost function with respect to output.
