Answer:

Project A = 4 years 4 months

Project B = 2 years 6 months

Explanation:

The payback period of a project is the length of time it takes for the cash flows to equal the amount of initial investment.

Project A ( $150,000) = $ 45,000 + $ 45,000  + $ 45,000 + $15,000 /  $ 45,000 x 12

                                    = 4 years 4 months

Project A ( $150,000) = $ 75,000 + $ 60,000  + $15,000 /  $ 30,000 x 12

                                    = 2 years 6 months

A plant's fixed overhead costs total $500,000 for a year to produce 400,000 widgets, among other items. If machine‐hours are use
maxonik [38]

Answer:

$0.5

Explanation:

A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year

400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period

All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours

The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate

= $500,000/40,000

= $12.5 machine-hour

The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows

= $12.5 × 16,000

= $200,000

Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows

= 200,000/400,000

= $0.5

Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5

Fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract. This year, he began receiving a $1,300 month
marusya05 [52]

Answer: $1091.61

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract and that this year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life and based on his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. The amount of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold goes thus:

Based on the question, Mr Fairhold will have a tax free return of the $50,000 paid. The exclusion ratio will be the investment divided by the expected return. This will be:

= $50,000/$312,000

= 0.1603

Since he received monthly payment of $1,300 and exclusion ratio is 0.1603, the tax free return on investment will be:

= $1,300 × 0.1603

= $208.39

Taxable annuity payment will now be:

= $1300 - $208.39

= $1091.61
