Answer:
loss on fire and storms 710,000
insurance expense zero as the firm didn't acquire any
Explanation:
Notice it state <u><em>"if the company were to obtain insurance"</em></u> Which means it currently has none insurance.
If the firm had an insurance the amount of losses would be deducted from the insurance policy but there is none so we disclosure the entire loss as a result of the period.
Hence, we should recognize the entire loss on fire and storm damage of 710,000 during the year and no insurance expense.
Answer:
Water freight is a very important method of transportation and is the second cheapest (railroad is the cheapest). Huge volumes can be shipped at relatively low prices which is extremely important for raw materials and commodities.
The problem with water freight is that it is relatively slow though. Another problem that water freight faces is that it is cheap for medium and long distances, but uneconomical for short ones.
A great impediment for the technological progress of water freight is that most ports are obsolete and have not been updated in many years. Updating them is very expensive and many of them are public ports which doesn't help either.
Most new carrier ships (which are very high tech) are probably too big to fit into most US ports, so even if a carrier company invests huge amounts of money in them, where will they them? Technological progress must start with the ports, then water carriers should improve.
Another problem is that regulation is very loose in the US, especially regarding maritime ports.
Keeping the appropriate cash flow in the cash flow register, using a financial calculator, NPV should be calculated for taking the decision.
Answer: According to the NPV calculated, Chen should buy a new machine.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Cash outflow = $40000
Increase in annual after-tax cash flows : CF = $9000
Place the cash flow on a time line:
0 1 2 10
I 10 I I . . . I
-110000 19000 19000 19000
With a financial calculator, input the appropriate cash flow into the cash flow register, input I/YR = 10, and then solve for NPV. The answer for NPV is $6746.78.
Thus, Chen should buy a new machine.
Answer:
$11,000
Explanation:
Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor = $9,280
Depreciation remains constant at any level of production.
Budgeted labor rate = Budgeted direct labor ÷ Hours of production
= $9,280 ÷ 640
= $14.5 per hour
Direct labor cost = completed hours of production × Budgeted labor rate
= 600 × $14.5
= $8,700
Budget for the Fabricating Department at 600 hours of production:
Budgeted cost = Direct labor cost + Equipment depreciation
= $8,700 + $2,300
= $11,000
