Consider a firm with an EBIT of $500,000. The firm finances its assets with $2,000,000 debt (costing 6 percent) and 50,000 share

Schach [20]

Answer:

EPS is reduced by $1.92 and 42%

Explanation:

EBIT $500,000

Interest Expense ($120,000) ($2,000,000 x 6%)

EBT $380,000

Tax 40% ($152,000)

Net Earninig $228,000

Outstanding stock = 50,000

EPS = $228,000 / 50,000 = $4.56 per share

Change in Capital Structure.

EBIT $500,000

Interest Expense ($60,000) ($1,000,000 x 6%)

EBT $440,000

Tax 40% ($176,000)

Net Earninig $264,000

Outstanding stock = 50,000 + 50,000 = 100,000

EPS = $264,000 / 100,000 = $2.64 per share

Change in EPS = $4.56 - $2.64 = $1.92 per share

Change in EPS = $1.92 / $4.56 = 0.42 = 42%

What is a disadvantage of the payback method?

HACTEHA [7]

The statement " It eliminates the inflows of cash earned following the payback period and time value of money" is the disadvantage of the payback method

The payback period is the period thats tells the time period in which the initial investment that was made should be recovered.

It is to be measured in years normally.

For finding the disadvantage, we need to find out the following information related payback period

It is easy to calculate
The cash flows earned after the payback period should not be used
There is no requirement to determine the present value factor for measuring the payback period.
Also, it does not use for distinct cheap projects from lower ones

So this is the reason this method ignored the times value of money

Therefore, we can conclude that, the correct option is b.

Waterway Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on August 1, 2020. The cost of this machine was $162,900.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $ 28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value $ 18.900

Depreciable Basis $ 144,000

Estimated Life 5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine 20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020 780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Estimated life of the asset 5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1) 15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation 2020 $ 65,160

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation $ 97,740

Depreciation @ 40 % $ 39,096

Compute conversion costs given the following data: direct materials, $361,300; direct labor, $195,300; factory overhead, $216,70

Radda [10]

Answer:

a. $412,000

Explanation:

Conversion cost is the combination of direct labor and manufacturing overhead which directly or indirectly are necessary to produce a product other than the direct raw materials.

We know,

Conversion costs = Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead

Here,

Manufacturing overhead = Indirect material + Indirect Labor + Indirect overhead (including variable and fixed overhead)

Given,

Direct labor = $195,300

Manufacturing overhead = Factory overhead = $216,700

Selling expenses will not be included because it is not a direct or indirect overhead expense.

Therefore,

Conversion costs = $195,300 + $216,700

Conversion costs = $412,000
