Ron Jasper manages a factory for Frombees Inc. A salesperson for new factory equipment has persuaded Ron that the new equipment

offered by her company would be less dangerous for the employees and lower the sound level in the factory significantly. Ron believes that employees would be more satisfied with their jobs as a result of reduced danger and lower sound levels. Ron has always said that satisfied employees are more productive. Thus, in making the cash flow estimates for the new equipment, Ron has included increased cash flows from increased productivity. In fact, these estimated increases in productivity are just enough to allow the net present value of the proposal to be positive. Identify whether the following statement is true or false: The net present value estimates could be optimistic.
a. True
b. False

Answer: True

Explanation:

Net Present Value (NPV) is the addition of the present values of the inflows and outflows of cash. According to the net present value, investments that has a net present value which is greater than zero is worthwhile and should increase a company's earning.

In this case, the purchase of the new equipment that lowers sound level in the factory will lead to employee satisfaction and increased productivity which will in turn lead to high NPV.

x = 24820/1.259712 = $19703

Compounded quarterly:

24820 = x*(1.02)^12 = 1.26824x

x = 24820/1.26824 = $19570

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

<u><em>Cost of Goods Manufactured $705,000</em></u>

<u><em>Adjusted cost of goods sold $655,000</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>Cost of Goods Manufactured Schedule</u>

Beginning Raw materials $ 55,000

Add Purchases of raw materials $ 267,000

Less Ending Raw materials $ 32,000

Direct Materials Used $ 290,000

Direct labor ? $ 25,000

Add Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process $ 365,000

The total manufacturing costs for the year were $680,000;

Total Mfg Costs- Mfg OH - DM- DL

($680,000-$ 365,000 -$ 290,000= $ 25,000)

Add Beginning Work in process ? $ 89,000

$ 769,000- $680,000= $ 89,000

Cost of Goods Available for  Manufacture $ 769,000

$705,000+$ 24,000=$ 769,000

Less Ending Work in process  $ 24,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured $705,000

($745,000-$ 40,000 =$705,000)

<u>Cost of Goods Sold Schedule</u>

Cost of Goods Manufactured $705,000

Add Beginning Finished goods $ 40,000

The cost of goods available for sale totaled $745,000

Less Ending Finished goods  ? $ 77000

($745,000-$668,000= $ 77000)

The unadjusted cost of goods sold totaled $668,000

Less Over applied Manufacturing Overhead ($ 365,000 -$ 352,000 ) 13000

The adjusted cost of goods sold totaled $655,000

Notes :

We add and subtract as per given schedule but then there are balances missing. So we do reverse functions and start at the bottom to get the desired balances by adding or subtracting . The workings for each step have been given in the brackets underneath the step.

% interest compounded annually until Bob retires on his 65th birthday. How much is the IRA worth when Bob retires
ira [324]

Answer:

The worth of the IRA when Bob retires at 65 is $190,706.57.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Bob makes his first $1,200 deposit into an IRA earning 6.5% compounded annually on the day he turns 24 and his last $1,200 deposit on the day he turns 44 (21 equal deposits in all.) With no additional deposits, the money in the IRA continues to earn 6.5% interest compounded annually until Bob retires on his 65th birthday. How much is the IRA worth when Bob retires?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of the future value of the IRA when Bob turns 44

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV44 = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV44 = Future value of the IRA when Bob turns 44 = ?

M = Annuity payment = $1,200

r = annual interest rate = 6.5%, or 0.065

n = number of years = 44 - 24 + 1 = 21

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV44 = $1,200 * (((1 + 0.065)^21 - 1) / 0.065)

FV44 = $1,200 * 42.3489537330236

FV44 = $50,818.74

Step 1: Calculation of the future value of IRA when Bob retires at 65

This can be calculated using the simple future value formula as follows:

FV65 = FV44 * (1 + r)^n ....................................... (1)

Where;

FV65 = Future value of IRA when Bob retires at 65 or the worth of the IRA when Bob retires at 65 = ?

FV44 = Future value of the IRA when Bob turns 44 = $50,818.74

r = annual interest rate = 6.5%, or 0.065

n = number of years = 65 - 44 = 21

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

FV65 = $50,818.74 * (1 + 0.065)^21

FV65 = $50,818.74 * 3.75268199264653

FV65 = $190,706.57

Therefore, the worth of the IRA when Bob retires at 65 is $190,706.57.
