Answer:
a. $1,420,000
b. $4,514,800
Explanation:
When it comes to fixed assets, all costs that directly helped make the asset available for use are to be capitalized.
Cost of Land
= Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down 2 Buildings + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost - Salvage
= 1,300,000 + 110,000 + 5,000 + 3,500 + 9,500 - 8,000
= $1,420,000
Cost of Building
= Architect's Fees + Liability Insurance Cost + Excavation Cost + Contractor's Payment + Interest Cost
= 46,000 + 3,800 + 15,000 + 4,200,000 + 250,000
= $4,514,800
Answer:
4 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the time in which a project returns back the initial investment in the form of net cash flow.
Initial Investment = $280,000
Net Income = $20,000
To calculate the net cash flows add bask the depreciation expense in Net income each year.
Depreciation = ($280,000 - $30,000) / 5 = $50,000
Net Cash Flow = $20,000 + $50,000 = $70,000
Payback period = Initial Investment / yearly cash flow = $280,000 / $70,000 = 4 years
Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
Answer: d. more coffee and fewer football tickets
Explanation:
MU/P refers to the marginal utility gained per dollar of an alternative and rationale consumers are always expected to maximise their utility by picking alternatives that give them more utility as opposed to less.
The MU/P for coffee is 20 whilst that of football tickets in 10. This means that more utility is gained from getting more coffee as opposed to football tickets. The action that would maximise utility would therefore be one where the consumer gets more coffee and fewer football tickets.
