Answer:

$-1081.01

$-2536.89

Explanation:

Equivalent annual cost method is a capital budgeting method used to choose between two projects with an unequal life span

The decision rule is to choose the product with the higher Equivalent annual cost

Equivalent annual annuity method is better for making this decision because if net present value is used, the project with the higher useful life would be chosen. this does not mean it is more profitable

EAA = \frac{r(NPV)}{1 - \frac{1}{(1+ r)^{n} } }

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Machine A

Cash flow in year 0 = - $5,000

Cash flow in year 1 =  $800

Cash flow in year 2 =  $900

Cash flow in year 3 =  $1,000  

I = 9%

NPV A = -2736.35

Machine B

Cash flow in year 0 = -$6,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $850

Cash flow in year 2 = $900

I = 9%

NPV B = -4462.67

EAA =

(0.09 x -2736.35) / ( 1 - (1.09)^3) = $-1081.01

(0.09 x -4462.67) / ( 1 - (1.09)^2)= $-2536.89

Serjik [45]

Answer:

VARIANCE for Total Expenses = $3,000 F

Explanation:

PLANNING Budget:

Container Refurbished = 28

Employee salaries and wages = $55,100 + $900x(28) = $55,100 + $25,200 = $80,300

Refurbishing materials = $600x(28) = $16,800    

Other expenses = $41,200  

Total Expenses = $80,300 + $16,800 + $41,200 = $138,300

FLEXIBLE Budget:

Container Refurbished = 26

Employee salaries and wages = $55,100 + $900x(26) = $55,100 + $23,400 = $78,500

Refurbishing materials = $600x(26) = $15,600    

Other expenses = $41,200  

Total Expenses = $78,500 + $15,600 + $41,200 = $135,300

VARIANCE for Total Expenses:

VARIANCE = PLANNING Budget - FLEXIBLE Budget = $138,300 - $135,300 = $3,000 F

Since Planning Budget is greater than Flexible Budget, the change is favorable (F)

Hope this helps!
