RSB [31]

Answer:

$875,100

Explanation:

The values given in the question are as follows

Purchase price of land= $820,000

Title insurance= $1,200

Property taxes= $10,400

Amont of tax due for the current fiscal year= $3,200

Back taxes= $7,200

Cost of removing the building= $41,000

Salvaged materials= $5,600

Amount used to level the land= $11,300

The cost of land for McCoy's fish house can be calculated as follows

Total cost of land= Puchase price of land+Title insurance+Back property taxes+Cost of removing the building+Level the land-Salvage materials

$820,000+$1,200+$7,200+$41,000+$11,300-$5,600

John has just won the state lottery and has three award options from which to choose. He can elect to receive a lump sum payment
12345 [234]

Answer:

John should opt for the 30 annual end-of-the-year payments of $4 million as that gives the highest present of value of $49,636,164.73  as shown below.

Explanation:

The options are evaluated as follows:

Option 1 $46,000,0000 today

Option 2

The present of value of this option is calculated using the below formula:

Present value of annuity = ((1-(1/((1+i)^n))/i) X PMT

where i=rate=7%

n=10years

PMT=$7m

PV=((1-(1/((1+0.07)^10))/0.07) X 7000000

PV=$ 43,834,929.21  

Option 3

The present value of this option using the formula in option 2 is:

PV=((1-(1/((1+0.07)^30))/0.07) X 4000000

PV=$49,636,164.73  

Hence, the last option is preferable.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She expects that a typical shawl should take 4 hours to​ produce, and the standard wage rate is $ 10.00 per hour. An average shawl uses 12 skeins of wool. Marina shops around for good​ deals, and expects to pay $ 3.30 per skein.

For ​ April, Mauriona​'s workers produced 200 shawls using 784 hours and 3,360 skeins of wool. Mauriona bought wool for $ 10,420 ​(and used the entire​ quantity), and incurred labor costs of $ 8,100.

1)

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 3.10

Direct material price variance= (3.3 - 3.10)*3,360= $672 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= [(12*200) - 3,360]*3.3= $3,168 unfavorable

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= [(4*200) - 784]*10= $160 favorable

Direct labor price variance= (SR - AR)*AQ

Direct labor price variance= (10 - 10.33)*784= 258.72 unfavorable

2)

Work in process                                        7,924                      

Direct material quantity variance            3,168

Direct material price variance                                        672

Material inventory                                                           10,420          

Work in process              8,000

Direct labor price variance       260

Direct labor efficiency variance              160

Wages payable                                      8,100
