Answer:
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.
Total costs associated to operating the facilities = ($2,400 x 100) + ($600 x 140) = $324,000
Explanation:
Since there is not constraint regarding the total number of labor hours that each plant can operate, then we must choose the plant that operates at the lower cost. The only restriction is total time = 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours per week:
production costs Atlanta:
coffee maker = $600 / 160 = $3.75 per unit
cappuccino machine = $600 / 200 = $3 per unit
production costs Fort Worth:
coffee maker = $2,400 / 800 = $3 per unit
cappuccino machine = $2,400 / 200 = $6 per unit
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.
Answer:
the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine Cost of Equipment
<em>Cost according to IAS 16 means purchase price plus other costs directly incurred in bringing the asset to location and condition of use as intended by management.</em>
Purchase Price $31,000
Installation and testing $2,800
Total Cost $ 33,800
Step 2 : Determine the depletion rate
Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated Production
= ($ 33,800 - $5,600) ÷ 100,000 units
= 0.282
Step 3 : Determine the Depreciation Expense
Depreciation Expense = Depletion rate x Units Produced
= 0.282 x 14,000 units
= $3,948
Conclusion
the amount of depreciation for Year 1 is $3,948
Answer:
a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit. Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be $4,500,000.
- Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.
Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.
b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.
Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.
c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be $75,000.
- Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.
Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.
Answer:
Based on the profitability index method, the investment should not be accepted.
It does not produce enough cash flows to justify the investment.
Explanation:
The profitability index method measures the present value of benefits for by dividing the present value of benefits by the present of initial investments.
The present value of initial investment in this project remains RM400,000. The present value of incremental annual cash flows of RM80,000 after taxes for 5 years will be equal to:
RM80,000 * 3.668 = RM293,440
Then the next step is to divide the present value of benefits by the initial investment as follows:
RM293,440/RM400,000 = 0.7336 = 73.36%
The implication is that the present value of the benefits is less than the initial investment costs. The project should then be rejected.
