Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expecte

d to cost $280,000 and have a useful life of five years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $80,769 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $11,000. A machine costs $200,000, has a $15,000 salvage value, is expected to last seven years, and will generate an after-tax income of $44,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;

For Option 1

= Initial Investment ÷  Annual Cash Flow

= $280,000 ÷ $134,569

= 2.081 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)

= $134,569

For Option-2

= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow

= $200,000 ÷ $70,429

= 2.84 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)

= $70,429

ABC Company produces Product X, Product Y, and Product Z. All three products require processing on specialized finishing machine
maria [59]

Answer:

400; 800

Explanation:

Contribution:

Product X:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 100 - 70

= 30,

Product Y:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 80 - 40

= 40,

Product Z:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= 25 - 20

= 5

Machine hours required :

Product X:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 3 ×  300

= 900,

Product Y:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 2 × 200

= 400,

Product Z:

= Machine time per unit × Monthly demand

= 1 × 500

= 500

Contribution per machine hour:

Product X = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                 = 30 ÷ 3

                 = 10,

Product Y = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                 = 40 ÷ 2

                 = 20,

Product Z = Contribution ÷ Machine time per unit

                = 5 ÷ 1

                = 5

It is highest for Y, so produce maximum amount of Y, then X and then Z

Y needs 400 hrs, we are left with 800 hours, so produce 800 hours of X.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

(a) $ 530,000

Explanation:

total production 260,000 units

variable manufacturing $26 per unit = $6,760,000

variable S&A $11 per unit

planned and actual fixed manufacturing $520,000

planned and actual fixed S&A $370,000

total costs during the year = $10,510,000

units sold 180,000 x $44 = $7,920,000

cost of goods sold per unit = ($26 x 180,000) + (180,000 x $520,000/260,000) = $4,680,000 + $360,000 = $5,040,000

total operating expenses = ($11 x 180,000) + $370,000 = $1,980,000 + $370,000 = $2,350,000

net income = $7,920,000 - $5,040,000 - $2,350,000 = $530,000

If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75, and if the goal is to increase real GDP by $400 million, then by how much w
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u>

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the proportion of an increase in aggregate income that is spent on consumption of commodities by a consumer.

Since from the question, we have:

MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

The MPC can therefore be used to calculate the fiscal multiplier which measures the effect of government spending on real GDP as follows:

Fiscal multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 1 / 0.25 = 4.0

Therefore, we have:

Change in government spending = Fiscal multiplier * Amount of targeted increase real GDP = 4.0 * $400 million = $1.6 billion

Therefore, government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u> to generate $400 million increase in real GDP.
