Bryant Company has a factory machine with a book value of $90,800 and a remaining useful life of 7 years. It can be sold for $27

,200. A new machine is available at a cost of $407,400. This machine will have a 7-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine brings annual variable manufacturing costs from $640,100 to $631,800. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

Answer:

The old machine should be retained.

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&continue&replace&Differential\\Proceeds \: from \: sale&0&27,200&27,200&Cost:&&&&purchase&0&-407,400&-407,400&manufacturing\:cost&-4,480,700&-4,422,600&58,100&Total \:cost&-4,480,700&-4,830,000&-349,300&Net&-4,480,700&-4,802,800&-322,100&\end{array}\right]

The old machine should be retained.

The differential analisys shows <u>cost will increase 322,100 if replaced.</u>

<u />

The sale from the old machine is an income for the relacement alternative.

the cost of the new machine is an expense

the value of the 7 years of manufacturing cost show a cost saving for 58,100

this savings, along with the proceeds from the old machine, doesn't cover the acquisition of the new machine. It is a bad investment.

An increase in interest rates affects aggregate demand by
skad [1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

When there is an increase in the interest rate then as a result this will shift the aggregate demand curve leftwards. This is because of the fall in one of the component of aggregate demand curve that is investment.

Increased interest rate will reduce the investment demand and hence shifts the aggregate demand curve rightwards. This increase in the interest rate will also increase the reserves of the banks.

When there is a leftward shift in the AD curve then as a result there is a fall in both real GDP and Price level in an economy.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate maximum that should pay:

Compute present value of cash flows from the store, year 1 to 5 :

Annual cash flows are $70,000

Desired rate of return on investment for 1 to 5 years is 7%

Number of years is 5

Present value of cash flows generated during 1 to 5 years =

= $287,013.82

Compute present value of cash flows from the store for years 6 to 10

Annual cash flows are $70,000

Desired rate of return on investment for 6 to 10 years is 10%

Desired rate of return on investment for 1 to 5 years is 7%

Number of years is 5

Present value of cash flows generated during 6 to 10 years = annual cash flows x PVIFA (10%,5) x PVIF (7%,5)

= $70,000 x 3.79079 x 0.7130 = $189,198.33

Compute present value of cash flows from the store for years 11 o 20

Annual cash flows are $70,000

Desired rate of return on investment for 11 to 20 years is 12%

Desired rate of return on investment for 6 to 10 years is 10%

Desired rate of return on investment for 1 to 5 years is 7%

Number of years is 10

Present value of cash flows generated during 11 to 20 years = [annual cash flows x PVIFA (12%,10)] x PVIF (10%,5) x PVIF (7%,5)

= $70,000 x 5.65022 x 0.62092 x 0.7130  = $175,100.98

Calculate present value of estimated sale amount to be received for sale of store

Present value of estimted sale amount to be received = [Estimated sale amount x PVIF (12%,10)] x PVIF (10%,5) x PVIF (7%,5)

=$400,000 x 0.32197 x 0.62092 x 0.7130=

=$57,016.50

Calculate total maximum amount that should be paid

Particulars Amount ($)

Present value of cash flows during 1 to 5 years         $287,013.82

Present value of cash flows during 6 to 10 years $189,198.33

Present value of cash flows during 11 to 20 years $175,100.98

Present value of estimated sale value                  $57,016.50

Maximum amount that C should pay to JD for store $708,329.63

Therefore, Maximum amount that should be paid $708,329.63

Answer:

(C) debit to Foreign-Currency Transaction Loss-$1040

Explanation:

Foreign currency related Financial assets and financial liabilities are usually revalued with any difference as a result of the exchange rates posted as a gain or loss in the income statement.

On transaction date, cost of assets

= 520000 * $0.034

On payment date, the amount paid

= 520000 * $0.036

The amount paid is higher than the liability recorded before hence the difference is recognized as a loss on foreign exchange.

= 520000 * $0.036 - 520000 * $0.034

= $1040
