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%

Answer: a). Debit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000; credit Cash $160,000.

Explanation: Direct labor refers to the manpower used in production. They are the factory workers involved in using the raw materials to produce finished goods.

Expense on direct labor is provided for during the production by a debit to factory payroll expense and a credit to factory payroll payable.

As such, the journal entry will be a debit to factory payroll payable $160,000 and a credit to cash $160,000. This means cash will reduce by $160,000 as the factory workers are paid while payables which is a provision account will reduce as well on the cash book by the same amount.
