Answer: No. The machine shouldn't be replaced.

Explanation:

Proposal to Replace Equipment

Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment = $4000

Less: Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment = $1500

Annual Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500

Number of Years Applicable = 5

Total Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500 × 5 = $12500

Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment = $2000

Cost of New Equipment = $8000

Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment = $18000 - $2000 = $16000

The machine shouldn't be replaced as the total differential decrease in cost is less than the annual net differential increase in cost of the new equipment.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C. Yes. If repair rates are higher for planes that have been​ resold, this would be an indication of a lemons problem

Explanation:

Lemons problem is an issue of quality of product, asset, investment : due to asymetric information about the respective quality.

Asymetric Information is when one one party in transaction has more knowledge about the quality of product or asset, than the other party.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Share Authorized = 100,000 Shares  

Share issued = 70,000

Share outstanding = 66,000 shares

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares Gagne Corporation allows the issuance = 100,000 shares

Number of shares Gagne sold to shareholders =  70,000

Number of shares reacquired by Gagne = 4,000

Share Authorized = Number of shares Gagne Corporation allows the issuance

= 100,000 Shares  

Share issued = Number of shares Gagne sold to shareholders

= 70,000

Share outstanding = Shares issued - Number of shares reacquired

= 70,000 - 4,000

= 66,000 shares
