Answer:

Kim Inc.

The net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is:

= $7,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                     Old Equipment     New Equipment  

Purchase price                                 $262,500              $450,000

Accumulated depreciation                  95,000               0  

Annual operating costs                     300,000                245,000

Total operating costs for 10 years 3,000,000             2,450,000

Salvage                                                 92,500             0

Total incremental cost                 $2,907,500           $2,900,000

b) The net advantage obtained by Kim for replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is $7,500 ($2,907,500 - $2,900,000).  Note that the purchase price of the old equipment with its accumulated depreciation are not relevant costs.  This case is worked out without taking into account the time value of money.  Assuming that the present value of the cash flows was computed, a different result and conclusion would be reached.

Archy [21]
<span>$41 Given a discount rate, the present value (PV) of money you expect to receive in the future (FV) at a specified interest rate (R) for a specified number of periods (N) is PV = FV/(1+R)^N So let's plug in the known values and solve. PV = 45/(1+0.10)^1 PV = 45/(1.10)^1 PV = 45/1.10 PV = 40.90909091 Rounding to the nearest dollar gives $41</span>

pashok25 [27]

Answer: $35,000

Explanation:

A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.

Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.

KonstantinChe [14]
One of the steps in solving this problem is this one:

As we know as shown above, the joournal entry for 2014 and 2015 will include the investment balance, increases and decreases to equity and intra-entity profits realized and deferred. Also the balance of the acquisition needs to be calculated.

Calculation of the book value of the purchase made as the book value of Company K times percent purchased:

400,000 * 0.40 = 160,000

Then, calculate the difference in the acquisition and the book value of the purchase:

210,000 - 160,000 = 50,000
