Kahn Company paid $240,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, Year 1. During Year 3, a technological breakthrough resulted in t

he development of a new machine that costs $300,000. The old machine costs $100,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $36,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, year 3, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $80,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.

Answer:

Yes, the machine should be replaced

Explanation:

The calculation is given below:

<u> Particulars              old Machine            New machine </u>

Purchase price                                       $300,000

Less:

Salvage value                                        -$80,000

Operating cost         $400,000              $144,000

                          ($100,000 × 4 )        ($36,000 × 4)

Total cost                 $400,000                $364,000

Hence, the financial advantage is

= $400,000 - $364,000

= $36,000

As there is a financial advantage of $36,000 therefore the old machine would be replaced with the new machine

sarah Jones wants to deposit $2,000 per year into an account earning 4 percent for the next 3 years, so she can purchase a used
andre [41]

Answer:

Compounding formula would be used here which is as under:

Future Value = Present value * (1+r)^n

FV = (PV is $2000) *  ( 1 + 4%)^ 3 number of years

Remember that r is the return that is 4% that Sarah Jones will receive.

So

FV = $2250

So this is the amount that she will receive after three years. I would recommend her to invest in ordinary shares (take higher risk for higher return) so that she is able to buy a better car.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Prosecutors of this case can use the net worth method to determine the extent these executives have been receiving  illegal incomes by computing their wealth at the beginning  and at the end of the period under investigation.

There will be an increase in the executives wealth, and since this increase cannot be traced to any legal income source, it will become taxable income, with the calculated penalties and fines.

Explanation:

The net worth method specifies that any increase in wealth, which is not traced to non-taxable sources, should be determined as a taxable income for the period under review.  Ordinarily, the net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities.  Since the executives use the money personally at their convenience, this will increase their personal wealth.
