Galvanized Products is considering purchasing a new computer system for their enterprise data management system. The vendor has

quoted a purchase price of $130,000. Galvanized Products is planning to borrow 1/4th of the purchase price from a bank at 12.00 % compounded annually. The loan is to be repaid using equal annual payments over a 3-year period. The computer system is expected to last 5 years and has a salvage value of $5,200 at that time. Over the 5-year period, Galvanized Products expects to pay a technician $20,000 per year to maintain the system but will save $51,000 per year through increased efficiencies. Galvanized Products uses a MARR of 20.00 %/year to evaluate investments.

Answer:

The present worth of this investment = -$31,204.78

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of this investment (in bold red color).

In the attached excel file, the following are used:

Loan from bank = Purchase price * (1 / 4) = $130,000 * (1 / 4) = $32,500

Initial cost = Purchase price - Loan from bank = $130,000 - $32,500 = $97,500

The annual required equal loan payments is calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:

P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1 + r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)

Where,

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ?

A = Loan amount from bank = $32,500

r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of payment years = 3

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ($32,500 * (0.12 * (1 + 0.12)^3)) / (((1 + 0.12)^3) - 1) = $13,531.34

From the attached excl file, the present worth of this investment is equal to -$31,204.78

Particular                                            Year 2017 ($) Year 2018 ($)    

Income before tax                                            101,000    84,100    

Corrections      

1. In 2017, unearned sales                           -36,200      

Sales added in 2018                                                      36,200    

2. In 2017, understated ending inventory    9,500

3. Add-wrongly charged interest expenses    13,800            13,800    

Less-actual interest expenses      

In 2017 ($230,000-$14,000)×7%=$216,000×7% -15,120      

In 2018, bond of carrying amount

       =$216,000+($15,120-$13,800)=$217,320      

In 2018, Actual interest expense=($217,320×7%)    -15,212    

4 Add-wrongly charged depreciation expenses      

In 2017=($8,100×10%)                                           810      

In 2018,=($8,100-$810)×10%+$8,500×10% =                      1,579    

Less-actual expenses for repairs                          -8,100    -8,500    

Corrected income before tax                         65,690   102,467

All of the following statements regarding leases are true except : A. For a capital lease the lessee records the leased item as
faust18 [17]

Answer: B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do.

Explanation:

When using Capital Leases, the lessee will record the lease as if it were their own asset and as a result will also depreciate it. The lessee will also create a long term liability on their balance sheet for the asset.

Capital leases usually also involve a transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases on the other hand do not have these features. They are more like a rental of an asset and as such are recorded as a rental expense in the books of the lessee. The ownership remains with the lessor in an Operating Lease and the asset will be returned once the lease period is over.
