Answer:

Jupiter Ltd.

A. The discounted payback period is:

= 3.2 years

B. The accrual accounting rate of return for the investment is:

= 57.79%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of new equipment = $90,000

Additional costs:

Installation     $5,000

Testing             4,500            9,500

Total cost of new equip.   $99,500

Rate of return = 9%

Savings:

Salvage value, $12,000 discounted by 0.650 =             $7,800

Annual estimated cash savings, $29,000 by 3.890 = $112,810

Total savings = $120,610

Annual equivalent savings = $31,005 ($120,610/3.890)

Discounted payback period = $99,500/$31,005 = 3.2 years

The returns from the investment:

Salvage value =  $12,000

Cash savings =   145,000

Total savings = $157,000

Initial investment 99,500

Returns =           $57,500

Accrual accounting rate of return = $57,500/$99,500 * 100 = 57.79%

Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is stated below:

Explanation:

The accounting equation is as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

Analyzing the transactions:

1. The service is provided to customer on account, which result in increase in assets and the stockholders' equity

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

+ $4,000    = $0                     +  +$4,000

2. The equipment is purchased by signing a note, which result in increase in liability and also increase in the assets.

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

+ $10,500  =   +$10,500         + $0

3. Paid for the advertising, which result in decrease in cash as well as decrease in the equity of the company.

So,

Assets        =   Liabilities        +  Stockholders' equity

- $1,200    = $0                        +  -$1,200
