Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

The computation of the simple rate of return is shown below;

= (operating cost - depreciation) ÷ (purchase of new machine - scrap value)

= ($145,500  - $50,500) ÷ ($505,000 - $35,000)

= ($94,500) ÷ ($470,000)

= 20.1%

hence, the simple rate of return is 20.1%

The same would be considered and relevant

Explanation:

a and b are the same with the same amount of capital transferred from one partner to another partner, it is just a matter of derecognizing Benson and recognize North or Schmidt.

c) Partner Benson is paid cash her capital,

d) decrease in meir's Capital = 214,000-138,000 = 76,000*3/8= $28,500

   Decrease in Lau's Capital Account = $76,000 5/8 = 47,500

Excess funds are taken from capitals or income summary account of the partnership which will affect the capitals of the remaining partners

e)  Meir's Capital = $138,000 -(70,000-23,000+30,000)

                            = $138,000-77,000

                           = $61,000*3/8 =$22,875

Lau = $61,000*5/8 =38,125

The Capital Accounts of the remaining partners will increase because of the gain made on buying out the leaving partner.

Assume the following information. You have $1,000,000 to invest. Current spot rate of pound = $1.30 90-day forward rate of pound
Softa [21]

Answer:

$ 1,024,000

Explanation:

Spot Rate : 1 Pound = $ 1.30

3 Months Forward Rate = $ 1.28

3 Months Deposit rate in US = 2.25%

3 Months Deposit rate in Great Britain = 4%

Total Amount of Investment = $ 1,000,000.

Step 1:

Convert $ 1,000,000 into Pounds using Spot rate (i.e., 1 Pound = $ 1.30).

We will get,

= $1000,000 ÷ 1.30

= 769230.76923 Pounds.

Step 2:

Invest 769230.76923 Pounds in great Britain for 3 months at an interest rate of 4%.

Therefore, we have an interest of 30769.23076 Pounds.

Hence, the total realizable value after 3 months:

=  769230.76923 + 30769.23076

= 800,000 Pounds  

Step 3:

Convert 800,000 Pounds into Dollars using Forward rate (i.e., 1 Pound = $ 1.28).

Therefore, the total amount in Dollars:

= 800,000 Pounds × $ 1.28

= $ 1,024,000

The following situations refer only to the preceding data; there is no connectionbetween the situations. Unless stated otherwise
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

If prices are cut by $0.2 then the operating income will increase by $91,200.

Explanation:

Current Gross Profit is :

Revenue [240,000 * $6] = $1,440,000

Cost of Sales = $1,416,000

Gross Profit = $24,000

If selling price is reduced to $5.80

Revenue $5.80 * [ 240,000 * 1.10 % ] = $1,531,200

Cost of Sales $1,416,000

Gross Profit = $115,200
