Answer:
The correct answer is c. Marginal analysis
Explanation:
Marginal analysis is a technique you can apply when you are comparing some options. We can say this analysis is an examination of the additional benefits of an activity compared to the additional costs incurred by that same activity. Using this technique you can maximize the potential profits.
The additional cost versus the additional benefit of a decision. In this case, Bill and Alma are analyzing if living 10 miles closer to their workplaces ( benefit) is worth the extra $25,000 in the cost of the house(cost). This is marginal analysis.
Answer: $20,000
Explanation: This question deals with Compensated Absence.
A compensated absence refers to paid holidays and other paid time off. According to accounting principles, expenses are recognized in the same period they are incurred. When it comes to compensated absences that are deferred to a later year (or period), the amount must be recorded as a liability in the year they are incurred.
Because of this, $40,000 (an average of $800 per week for a total of 500 vacation weeks) will be charged to 2021 expense as a liability.
The amount of salaries expense related to 2022 compensated absence is the average 5% pay rise in 2022.
The amount is therefore 5% X $800 X 500 weeks = $20,000
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Carson Company purchased a depreciable asset for $280,000. The estimated salvage value is $14,000, and the estimated useful life is 10,000 hours. Carson used the asset for 1,500 hours in the current year. The activity method will be used for depreciation.
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced
Annual depreciation= [(280,000 - 14,000)/10,000]*1,500= $39,900
Answer:
The payback period is more than 5 years
Explanation:
Net present value is the Net value of all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.
Year Cash flow PV factor Present Value
0 ($490,000) 1 ($490,000)
1 $40,000 0.909 $36,360
2 $10,000 0.826 $8,260
3 $120,000 0.751 $90,120
4 $90,000 0.683 $61,470
5 $180,000 0.621 <u> $111,780 </u>
Net Present Value ($182,010)
NPV of this Investment is negative so, it is not acceptable.
Payback period
Total Net cash inflow of the investment is $440,000 and Initial investment is $490,000. This investment will take more than 5 years to payback the initial investment.
