Answer:

A. Alternative 1 1.88

Alternative 2 1.73

Incremental Analysis 1.34

B. Alternative 2

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the benefit cost ratio of each machine,

First step is to calculate the present value of each Alternative

ALTERNATIVE 1

Calculation for alternative 1 Benefit and cost

Benefits = ($1500)(P/A, 8%, 15)

Benefits= ($1500)(8.5595)

Benefits= $12,839

Cost = $7,000 – ($500)(P/F, 8%,15)

Cost= $7,000 – ($500)(0.3152)

Cost = $6842

Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost

Let plug in the formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost=$12,839/$6842

Ratio of Benefit to Cost= 1.88

Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 1 is 1.88

ALTERNATIVE 2

Calculation for alternative 2 Benefit and cost

Benefits = ($1900)(P/A, 8%,15)

Benefits= ($1900)(8.5595)

Benefits= $16,263

Cost = $9000 + ($1250)(P/F,8%,15)

Cost= $9000 + ($1250)(0.3152)

Cost=$9394

Now let calculate Alternative 1 Ratio of Benefit to Cost using this formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost

Let plug in the formula

Ratio of Benefit to Cost= $16,263/$9394

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = 1.73

Therefore the benefit cost ratio for Alternative 2 is 1.73

B. In order to know which machine should the company choose we have to determine the incremental analysis for each of the machine

Incremental Analysis = ($16,263- $12,839)/ ($9394 - $6842)

Incremental Analysis= 1.34

Based on the above calculation for Incremental Analysis we can see that the Incremental Analysis is greater than 1 which means that the machine that the company should choose is ALTERNATIVE 2

4            4,300          0.6587               2,833                6,887

Discounted payback period = 1 + (2,667/3003)

An investment that costs $5,800 will produce annual cash flows of $2,480 for a period of 4 years. Given a desired rate of return
aleksandrvk [35]

Based on the present value of the annual cash flows and the investment cost, the present value index is 1.39

<h3>How is the present value index calculated?</h3>

To find the present value index, use the formula:

= Present value of cash flow/Investment cost

The present value of cash flow is:

= Annual cash flows x Present value interest factor of annuity, 9%, 4 years

= 2,480 x 3.239719877

= $8,034.51

The present value index is:

= 8,034.51 / 5,800

= 1.39

Greese Company purchased office supplies costing $4,000 and debited Supplies for the full amount. At the end of the accounting p
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

D) debit Supplies, $1,500; credit Supplies Expense, $1,500.

Explanation:

The first journal entry was:

Dr Supplies expense 4,000

    Cr Cash 4,000

If at the end of the year the supplies inventory equals $1,500, then the supplies expense must decrease. Expenses have a debit balance, if we want to decrease them, we must credit them.

The adjusting entry would be:

Dr Supplies 1,500

    Cr Supplies expense 1,500

This way the supplies account (asset) increases, while the expenses decrease.
