Although the Chen Company's milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 y

ears. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $120,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $18,900 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The Project cost of capital is 9%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. Should Chen buy the new machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.NPV: $ _________

Answer:

Chen should buy the new machine since it produces a positive NPV of  $1,294

Explanation:

Summary of the Project Cash Flows is as follows :

Year 0                                  = ($120,000)

Year 1 to Year 10                 =    $18,900

The Project cost of capital = 9%

Calculation of the Project`s NPV :

<em>NPV can be calculated from this summary using a financial calculator as :</em>

<em>CF0 = ($120,000)</em>

<em>CF1  = $18,900</em>

<em>Nj     = 10</em>

<em>i       = 9 %</em>

<em>NPV =  ? </em>

<em>NPV = $1,293.73 or $1,294</em>

The Project is accepted only if it has a Positive NPV

Conclusion,

Chen should buy the new machine since it produces a positive NPV of  $1,294.

Dmitrij [34]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Required Return after 5 year =  Real rate of return +   Inflation premium + Risk premium

Required Return after 5 year = 5+2+4

Required Return after 5 year =11%

No of year left to maturity = 25

Annual Interest payment = 15%*1000 = 150

Face value of Bond = 1000

New price of the bond = pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

New price of the bond = pv (11%,25,150,1000)

New price of the bond = $ 1336.87

Sophie [7]

Answer:

$10,950 Unfavorable

Explanation:

For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-

Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month

= (77 × $150) + $5,500

= $11,550 + $5,500

= $17,050

Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost

= $28,000 - $17,050

= $10,950 Unfavorable

Following are selected transactions Danica Company for 2014:
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Explanation:

Lees notes:

Dec. 13 Accepted a $9,500, 45-day, 8% note dated December 13 in granting Miranda Lee a time extension on her past-due account receivable.

First interest due = $9,500 x 8% x 45/360 = $95

On the 31st 18 days would have accrued of the 45days = 18/45 x $95 = $38

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Debit Miranda Lee with $9,538

Credit interest on Receivables $38

Credit Account receivables account with $9,500

When the full interest became due we will pass an additional entry:

Dr. Lee with $58

Cr. Interest on receivables with $58

(Being the balance interest on receivables due )

On Jan 27 when Lee paid her interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Account receivables with $9,500

Debit interest on receivables Account with $95

Credit Tomas account with $9,595

( being liquidation of Lee's indebtedness)

Tomas notes:

Mar 3, Accepted a $5,000, 10%, 90-day note dated March 3 in granting a time extension on the past-due account receivable of Tomas Company.

Let's recognize the full interest due first:

$5,000 x 10% x 90/360 = $125

At this time we will:

Debit Tomas with $5,125

Credit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Account Receivables account with $5,000

On June 1 when Tomas paid his interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Accounts receivable with $5,000

Debit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Tomas account with $5,125

( being liquidation of Tomas indebtedness)

Hiroshi Cheng notes:

Accepted a $2,000, 30-day, 9% note dated March 17 in granting Hiroshi Cheng a time extension on his past-due account receivable.

Interest = $2,000 x 9% x 30/360 = $15

The entries recognizing this liability will be to :

Debit Cheng Account with $2,015

Credit interest on receivables with $15

Credit Accounts receivable with $2,000

(Being receivables payable balance and interest on balance owed by Cheng)

However Cheng failed in paying up. It was decided to write off the debt.

The entries would be:

Dr. Accounts receivables $2,000

Dr. Interest on Accounts receivables with $15

Cr. Cheng's Account with $2,015

(Being debt owed by Cheng written off)

Meenach Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-ho
o-na [289]

Answer:

Fixed overhead application rate

= <u>Budgeted fixed overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= <u>$114,000</u>

  60,000 hrs

= $1.90 per direct labour hour

Amount of overhead applied to job X387:     $

Variable overhead $4.90 x 170 hours         = 833

Fixed overhead $1.90 x 170 hours               = 323

                                                                            1,156

                                                           

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to calculate the fixed overhead application rate based on direct labour hours by dividing the the budgeted fixed overhead by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate the overhead applied to Job X387 by multiplying the fixed and variable application rate by actual direct labour hours of 170 hours.
