Answer:

a) Identify which project should the company accept based on NPV method.

  • Project 2 has a higher NPV = $98,960

b) Identify which project should the company accept based on simple pay back method if the payback criteria is maximum 2 years.

  • Project 2 has a shorter payback period = 2 years and 5 months

c) Which project Giant Machinery should choose if two methods are in conflict.

  • If two projects are in conflict, then you must choose the project based on their NPV.

Explanation:

                              Project 1      Project 2

Cost                      $175, 000    $185 ,000

Future Cash Flows

Year 1                     $76,000    $83,000

Year 2                    $67,000    $65,000

Year 3                    $55,000    $87,000

Year 4                    $78,000    $69,000

Year 5                    $65,000    $57,000

NPV:

Project 1 = -175000 + 76000/1.09 + 67000/1.09² + 55000/1.09³ + 78000/1.09⁴ + 65000/1.09⁵ = $91,090

Project 2 = -185000 + 83000/1.09 + 65000/1.09² + 87000/1.09³ + 69000/1.09⁴ + 57000/1.09⁵ = $98,960

Payback:

Project 1 = -175000 - 76000 - 67000 = 32000 after 2 years, then 32000 / 55000 = 7 months

Project 2 = -185000 - 83000 - 65000 =  37000 after 2 years, then 37000 / 87000 = 5 months

german

Answer:

CREDIT $ 70.000 Common Stock  

CREDIT $ 14.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value

 

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses  

CREDIT $ 3.500        Common Stock  

CREDIT $ 39.500 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Common Stock  

DEBIT $ 218.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 175.000 Preferred Stock  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

Explanation:

DEBIT $ 84.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 70.000 Common Stock  

CREDIT $ 14.000         Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock  

for the stated value ($70,000) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of cash over the Common Stock ($14,000)  

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses  

CREDIT $ 3.500        Common Stock  

CREDIT $ 39.500 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

As the company declared a par value, it's necessary to split the equity in two accounts, Common Stock  

for the stated value ($3,500) and the Paid in Capital for the excess of the price over the Common Stock ($39,500)  

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 43.000 Promotion Expenses  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Common Stock  

As the company declared no-par value, it's not necessary to split the equity in two accounts, full value to common stocks account

In this case there is no cash because the shares are in exchange for the promotions effort (Expenses)

DEBIT $ 218.000 Cash  

CREDIT $ 175.000 Preferred Stock  

CREDIT $ 43.000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par Value  

Last escenario the company declared preffered stock and not Common ones, so the equity account in this case it's Preferred stock  

as the par value it's $100 ($175,000) to Preferred Stock and Paid in Capital for the excess of the price ($43,000)

If the span of management is wide, _______ levels are needed, and the organization is _______. If the span of management is narr
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

If the span of management is wide, <u>Fewer</u> levels are needed, and the organization is <u>Flat</u>. If the span of management is narrow, <u>More</u> levels are needed, and the resulting organization is <u>Tall</u>.

Explanation:

Span of control is the number of personals working under a single Designation.

If their are greater number of employees working under a single designation then the hierarchy chart is wider in length, that's the reason we also say that the organization is flat. Due to these increased number of employees working under single designation, there is lower number of levels in such organization. It is also one of the main reason the employees turnover is very high because there are fewer chances of promotion in flat organizations. The number of candidates for the promotion are higher in the organization.

On the other hand, if their are lower number of employees working under a single designation then the hierarchy chart is taller in length, that's the reason we also say that the organization is flat. Due to these lower number of employees working under single designation, there is higher number of levels required in such organizations. It is also one of the main reason the employees turnover is very low because there are higher chances of promotion in tall organizations. The number of candidates for the promotion are fewer in the organization.

                                    Cash                                     $26,160,000 Cr

Explanation:

1.

The issuance of note against cash results in a debit to cash and a credit to a liability in account for notes payable.

2.

The adjusting entry will be made in accordance to accrual principle that matches the revenues and expenses relating to a certain period and record them in their respective period. The interest on note for 4 months from September to December belongs to 2021 and will be recorded as an expense and a payable on 31 december.

The interest expense for 4 months is = 24000000 * 0.12 * 4/12 = $960000

3.

The interest for the remaining 5 months will be recorded on the last day of note on May 30.

The interest for 5 months is = 24000000 * 0.12 * 5/12 = $1200000

On June 1, the note and the interest payable on note both will be paid and will be debited to close them from the books and cash will be credited.

Vietnam should import textiles and use its resources to produce other goods for which it has a comparative advantage.

I hope my answer helps you.
