Answer:

(f)None

Explanation:

Pay back period is the no of years in which cost of investment is recovered in the form of cash flow.

Project with cash back period of two years is acceptable .

Project 1

initial outlay of fund = 100 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 50+50 = 100 million dollar

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 2

initial outlay of fund = 80 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 40+45 = 95

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 3

initial outlay of fund = 70 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 4

initial outlay of fund = 60 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 5

initial outlay of fund = 50 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+25 = 55

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

So none will be rejected

g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Debit Depreciation expense  $1,340

  Credit Accumulated depreciation  $1,340

2. Debit Interest expense  $275

   Credit Accrued Interest  $275

3. Debit Supplies expense  $450

   Credit Supplies Account  $450

4. Debit Unearned Service revenue  $3,100

   Credit Service revenue  $3,100

5. Debit Salaries expense  $900

   Credit Accrued Salaries  $900

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of that asset.

It is determined as the depreciable value of the asset over the estimated useful life of the asset where the depreciable value is the difference between the cost and salvage value of the asset

Mathematically,  

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage value)/Estimated useful life

It is recorded by debiting depreciation and crediting accumulated depreciation.

When interest is incurred as an expense but yet to be paid, it will be accrued for by Debiting Interest expense and crediting accrued Interest. The same applies to salaries incurred but yet to be paid.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used up = $550 - $100

= $450

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

Earned revenue = $4,000 - $900

= $3,100

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>Documentary evidence  </em>

Explanation:

<em>CFAs resolve fraud allegations  by taking statements, obtaining evidences and writing reports, testifying crimes and  by assisting in the detection and prevention of white collar crimes. </em>

Any evidence that can be used at  a trial as documents are called documentary evidence, it generally means the wrings on paper such as a will, contract or invoice. Tape recordings, photographs printed documents, emails and spreadsheets can also be considered documentary evidence. Although  authenticity of genuine evidence needs to be proved  

If a document is produced for other purpose instead of the examination of the contents of the document it is not considered to be a documentary evidence.  

e.g if a letter is produced during the trial to prove that the author of letter was shot by the defendant then it would be considered as documentary evidence but a film of the incident or a written description of this incident by an eye witness would be considered as documentary evidence.

In 2019, Wildhorse Company had a break-even point of $244,000 based on a selling price of $5 per unit and fixed costs of $97,600
Luden [163]

Answer:

unitary variable cost= $3

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

break-even point= $244,000

the selling price= $5 per unit

Fixed costs of $97,600.

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin ratio, we will use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

244,000= 97,600/contribution margin ratio

contribution margin ratio= 97,600/244,000

contribution margin ratio= 0.4

Now, we can calculate the unitary variable cost:

contribution margin ratio= (selling price - unitary variable cost)/seling price

0.4= (5 - unitary variable cost)/5

2= 5 -unitary variable cost

unitary variable cost= 3
