Answer:

Machine K

Explanation:

The values can be better computed as:

 Year     0          1           2         3

J         11000   1200      1`300

K         13000   1200     1300    1400

Using the PV Calculator

The Present Value (PV) for each year in Machine J is as follows:

Cashflow    Year      Present Value

11000           0             11000

1200             1              1085.97

1300             2              1064.68

Total                            13,150.65

The effective annual cost = \dfrac{NPV\times r}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}

=\dfrac{13150.65 \times 0.1050}{1-(1+0.1050)^{-2}}

= $7628.16

Using the PV Calculator

The Present Value (PV) for each year in Machine K is as follows:

Cashflow    Year      Present Value

13000           0             13000

1200             1              1085.97

1300             2             1064.68

1400             3             1037.63

Total                            16,188.28

The effective annual cost = \dfrac{NPV\times r}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}

=\dfrac{16188.28 \times 0.1050}{1-(1+0.1050)^{-3}}

= $6566.92

Therefore, machine K is better to buy than machine J.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

73,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units for conversion costs is shown below:-

Equivalent units = Units transferred ÷ Finished goods + (Units in closing Work in progress × Percentage of completion)

= (8,000 + 69,000 - 5,000) + (5,000 × 20%)

= 72,000 + 1,000

= 73,000 units

Therefore for computing the Equivalent units we simply applied the above formula.

Walter is a chemistry teacher who earns $50,000 per year, while Jesse is unemployed. Both Walter and Jesse want to go back to sc
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

No, their economic cost of enrolling in the business program is not the same for both,

Explanation:

The explicit costs of going back to college are the same for Walter and Jesse, e.g. they might be $20,000 per year, or even $30,000 doesn't matter for this analysis. But Walter is currently working as a teacher and that means taht if he decides to go to college, his implicit costs will include the forgone salary as a teacher which is $50,000 per year. Implicit costs are opportunity costs, i.e. additional costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment instead of another alternative.

Since Jesse is not working, whether she goes back to college or not will not affect her income, it will still be $0, but if Walter goes back to college he will lose his salary.
