Management team of Wolverine Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. They believe that new equipment is m
muminat

Answer:

Wolverine Corp.

a. The accounting rate of return = 50%

b. The payback period = 6 years ($200,000 * 6)

c. The net present value = ($39,600)

d. The net present value at 15% = ($237,200)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial investment cost in new equipment = $1,200,000

Annual incremental net income from cost savings = $200,000

Salvage value of the new equipment = $200,000

Estimated useful life of equipment = 8 years

Hurdle rate = 10%

a. Accounting rate of return = (($200,000 * 8 + $200,000) - $1,200,000)/$1,200,000

= ($1,800,000 - $1,200,00)/$1,200,000

= $600,000/$1,200,000 * 100 = 50%

NPV at 10% hurdle rate:

Initial investment = $1,200,000 * 1 = $1,200,000

Annual incremental savings:

= $200,000 * 5.335 =                        $1,067,000

Salvage value = $200,000 * 0.467         93,400

Total benefits                                     $1,160,400

NPV =                                                    ($39,600)

NPV at 15% hurdle rate:

Initial investment = $1,200,000 * 1 = $1,200,000

Annual incremental savings:

= $200,000 * 4.487 =                           $897,400

Salvage value = $200,000 * 0.327         65,400

Total benefits                                      $962,800

NPV =                                                  ($237,200)

iragen [17]

Answer:

Flounder Corp.

                                   Weighted Average      FIFO             LIFO

Ending Inventory              $1,414                   $1,580           $1,280

Cost of goods sold          $2,796                 $2,630          $2,930

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date        Explanation      Units     Unit Cost     Total Cost

June 1     Inventory            100          $5               $ 500

June 12   Purchases         385            6                 2,310    

June 23  Purchases        200             7                 1,400

               Total units        685                            $ 4,210

June 30  Inventory          230

June 30  Units Sold        455  (685 - 230)

Weighted Average Cost = Total costs/Total units bought

= $4,210/685 = $6.146

Weighted Average:

Ending Inventory = $1,414 ($6.146 * 230)

Cost of goods sold = $2,796 ($6.146 * 455)

FIFO:

Ending Inventory  = (30 * $6) + (200 * $7) = $1,580

Cost of goods sold = (100 * $5) + (355 * $6) = $2,630

LIFO:

Ending Inventory = (100 * $5) + (130 * $6) = $1,280

Cost of goods sold = (200 * $7) + (255 * $6) = $2,930

The weighted average method is based on an average cost for estimating the cost of ending inventory and cost of goods sold.  The FIFO method assumes that goods bought initially are the first to be sold while the LIFO method assumes that goods bought last are the first to be sold.

Sandra waterman purchased a 52-week, $1,000 t-bill issued by the u.s. treasury. the purchase price was $996. (a) what is the amo
Darina [25.2K]
(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4

(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).

(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.

Then,

R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%

xenn [34]

Answer:

a) $17.70

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

But before that we need to do the following calculations

Applied manufacturing overheads is

= $13,850 + $294,130

= $307,980

And,

Applied manufacturing overheads is

= predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor hours

Hence predetermined overhead rate is

= $307,980 ÷ 174,00 hours  

= $17.70

Therefore, the correct option is d. $17.70
