Green Field Potatoes Co. sells a by-product of its potato processing operation, called a filter cake, to area feed-lots as cattl

e feed. Recently, the feedlot owners have noticed that the cattle are not gaining weight as quickly as they once were. They believe that the root cause of the problem is that the percentage of solids in the filter cake is too low. Historically, the percentage of solids in the filter cakes ran slightly above 12%. Lately, however, the solids are running in the 11% range.
What is actually affecting the solids is a mystery, but something has to be done quickly. Individuals involved in the process were asked to identify variables that might affect the percentage of solids. This review turned up the six variables (in addition to the percentage of solids) listed below in the following table. Data collected by monitoring the process several times daily for 20 days are stored in the potatoes.xls file.
Assignment:
1. Thoroughly analyze the data and develop a regression model to predict the percentage of solids
2. Write an executive summary (1 page max) concerning your findings to the president of the Green Field Potatoes Co. Make sure to include specific recommendations on how to get the percentage of solids back above 12%.


A:Solids
B:pH
C:Lower Pressure
D:Upper Pressure
E:Cake Thickness
F:Varidrive Speed
G:Drum Speed Setting

We are asked to find the APR on this load.
Given:
Purchased price: $2,900,000
Monthly payment: 14,900
Amount borrowed: 0.80($2,900,000) = $2,320,000

Using the PVA equation:
PVA = $2,320,000 = $14,900 [{1-1/(1+r)]^360}/r]
r = 0.560%

APR is the monthly interest rate times the number in months of the year. 
APR = 12(.560) = 6.72%

During 2016, Ayayai Corporation spent $144,000 in research and development costs. As a result, a new product called the New Age
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Please see below the journal entries of Ayayai Corporation for the year ending 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Explanation:

Ayayai Corporation

Journal Entries

For the Year ending 2016

Debit: Research & Development Expense $144,000

Credit: Cash $144,000

To record research and development expense.

Debit: Patent $17,400

Credit: Cash $17,400

To record legal cost relating to Patent.

Debit: Amortization Expense $435

Credit: Patent $435

To record amortization expense for the pro rated year.

Ayayai Corporation

Journal Entries

For the Year ending 2017

Debit: Amortization Expense $1,740

Credit: Patent $1,740

To record amortization expense for year.

<em>AMORTIZATION EXPENSE CALCULATION:</em>

Legal Cost = $17,400

Useful Life = 10 Years

Amortization Expense = Legal Cost / Useful Life

Amortization Expense = $17,400 / 10

Amortization Expense = $1,740 per year

But since in 2016 the patent was obtained on October 1, so Ayayai Corporation will have to pro rate the Amortization Expense in 2016 as below:

Amortization Expense = Annual Amortization Expense x No. of months / Total no. of months

Since patent was obtained in October so the No. of months is '3'

Amortization Expense = $1,740 x 3 / 12

Amortization Expense = $435
