Home Products, Inc., is planning the introduction of a new food dryer. To compete effectively, the dryer would have to be priced

at no more than $40 per unit. An investment of $600,000 would have to be made in order to produce and sell the new dryer. The company requires a return on investment of at least 25% on new products. Assuming that the company expects to produce and sell 30,000 dryers per year, the target cost per dryer would be closest to:

Answer:

The Target cost per dryer will be $35 per dryer

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the required return

Required return = Investment x Required rate of return

Where

Investment = $600,000

Required rate of return = 25%

Placing values in the formula

Required return = $600,000 x 25% = $150,000

Now calculate the return per dryer

Return per dryer = Required return / Expected sale = $150,000 / 30,000 = $5 per dryer

Now use following formula to calculate the target cost per dryer

Return Per dryer = Selling price per dryer - Target cost per dryer

$5 per dryer = $40 per dryer - Target cost per dryer

Target cost per dryer = $40 per dryer - $5 per dryer

Target cost per dryer = $35 per dryer

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

If the demand for a product is elastic the tax burden will be borne by the producer. This is because elastic demand means that an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate reduction in the quantity demanded. So with the imposition of a tax, the sellers will not increase the price as it is likely to reduce demand.

If the demand is inelastic, it means that an increase in price will lead to less than a proportionate decrease in the demand. In this situation, after the imposition of tax, the tax burden can be shared between producer and buyer.

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234
