Answer:

The aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $302,964

Explanation:

In order to calculate the aftertax salvage value of the equipment, first we would need to calculate the Book value of the equipment after 4 years as follows:

Book value of the equipment after 4 years = Purchase price *(1-depreciation rate each year)

= $2,000,000*(1-0.2-0.32-0.192-0.1152)

=$345,600

Loss on sale = $281,000-345,600

= 64600

Tax benefit on loss = $64,600*34% = $21,964

Therefore, After tax salvage value = selling price + tax benefit

= $281,000 + $21,964

=$302,964

The aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $302,964

Answer:

$302964

Explanation:

The salvage value of an asset is the value of the asset ater it has being used during its useful life.

The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent (0.2), 32.00 percent (0.32), 19.20 percent (0.192), 11.52 percent (0.1152), and 11.52 percent (0.1152).

Since the project being evaluated is a four year project, we would use onlh the depreciation for four years.

The salvage value = cost of equipment(100% - depreciation percentage for four years)

salvage value = $2000000(1 - 0.2 - 0.32 - 0.192 - 0.1152) = $345600

Book value = $281000

Gain = salvage value - book value = $345600 - $281000 = $64600

aftertax salvage value = book value + (tax rate × gain) = $281000 + (0.34 ×$64600) = $302964

1. Sid bought a new $1,500,000 seven-year class asset on August 2, 2020. On December 2, 2020, he purchased $900,000 of used five
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

Explanation:

Given the seven-year class asset bought by the Sid = $1500000

On 2nd December the five-year class asset bought = $900000

Now we have to find the cost recovery deduction for 2020.

900000/(900000 + 1500000) = 37.5% Thus, use half-year convention and avoid mid quarter

1500000 – 1,000,000 (Sec 179 limit) = 500000

500000 x 14.29% = 71450

900,000 x 20% = 180,000

1,000,000 + 71450 + 180,000

Cost recovery for 7 year asset = 1,071450

Cost recovery 5  year asset = 180000

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,
Ahat [919]

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

Whenever the production of a good creates negative externalities, an unregulated market will result in:
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

In an unregulated market, negative externality results in a higher social marginal cost than the firm marginal cost because this market is not properly regulated by the government officials. Hence, these firms are not taking into account the effect of negative externalities in their cost.

We know that the consumer's decision is more offenly based on the point where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit because they are not taking the impact of negative externalities.

If proper action is not taken by the government, negative externality will result in a market inefficiencies.
