Answer:

Roper Spring Water should not buy the machine, since it produces a negative net present.

Explanation:

Summary of Cash Flows on the Machine are as follows :

Year 0 = ($230,000)

Year 1  = $55,000

Year 2 = $65,000

Year 3 = $75,000

Year 4 = $75,000

Interest rate = 7%

Using the CFj Function of the Financial calculator this will be computed as :

($230,000)  CF j 0

$55,000      CF j 1

$65,000      CF j 2

$75,000      CF j 3

$75,000      CF j 4

i/yr  = 7%

Therefore Net Present Value is - $3,385.13

Since this is a negative Net Present Value, Roper Spring Water should not buy the machine.

Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have a total of $100,000 to be invested in stocks, bonds, and a money market account. The stocks have a rate
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let y amount be invested in bonds

Let x amount be invested in money account

Let x amount be invested in stocks

x = y + 3x

10,000 = 12/100(y+3x) + 8/100*y + 4/100*x

10,000 = 12(y+3x) + 8y + 4x / 100

10,000 * 100 = 12y+36x + 8y + 4x

2500 * 100 = 3y + 9x + 2y + x

250,000 = 5y + 10x

50,000 = y + 2x.......................(1)

x + y + z = $100,000

y + 3x + y + x = $100,000

2y + 4x = 100,000

y + 2x = 50,000.......................(ii)

y = 50,000 - 2x

x = 50,000 + x

z = z

<u>2 Options are</u>

{(x,y,x), (x2,y2,z2)}

= (50000, 50000) (60000, 30000, 10000)

Parsons Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last
arsen [322]

Answer:

option (C) 32,750 hours

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $250,000

Overapplied overhead = $12,000

Predetermined overhead rate = $8.00 per direct labor-hour

Now,

The total Manufacturing Overhead applied last year

= Actual manufacturing overhead cost + Overapplied overhead

=  $250,000 + $12,000

= $262,000

Therefore,

Direct Labor Hours worked last year = \frac{\textup{Total Manufacturing Overhead applied}}{\textup{Predetermined overhead rate}}

or

=  \frac{\textup{262,000}}{\textup{8}}

= 32,750 hours

Hence,

The correct answer is option (C) 32,750 hours
