A rotary engine powers a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) personal aircraft known as the Moller Skycar M400. It is a flying c

ar known as a personal air vehicle (PAV), and it is expected to make its first untethered flight in 2020. The PAV has been under development for 23 years at a total cost of $90 million. Assuming the $90 million was spent in an equal amount each year, determine the future worth at the end of the 23-year period at an interest rate of 11% per year.

To solve this problem, we first make a chart that shows the spending pattern of $90 million over 23 years.



$90 million at 11% = [math]\frac{90 \times 1.11^{23}}{100}=903.478[/math]. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately $903,478.



Since the problem does not provide a standard amount of time that people usually use to measure interest rates, we can infer that this rate should be 10% per year.



Using 10% per year instead of 11%:

$90 million at 10% = [math]\frac{90 \times 1.10^{23}}{100}=897.507[/math]. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately $897,507.



Since the total amount that was spent on development over a period of 23 years is $90 million and the answer in our problem has to be in millions, we have to adjust the amount.



$90 million x 100 = $9 billion. The future worth at the end of the 23-year is approximately 9 billion dollars.

The company's break even points in unit sales is 43,000 units.

Above the actual sales volume of 42,000 units is the break-even point.

<h3>What is Break Even point?</h3>
  • In economics, business, and particularly cost accounting, the break-even point is the point at which total cost and total income are equal, or "even."
  • Although opportunity costs have been paid and capital has received the risk-adjusted, projected return, there is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even."
  • A graph with a function that represents the fixed costs is also helpful.
  • No matter how many units are manufactured, the fixed cost is always 1200, hence the fixed costs function is shown as a horizontal line (FC = 1200).
  • Any of the following will raise the break-even point: an increase in the quantity of fixed charges or expenses for the business.
  • An increase in variable expenditures and expenses per unit. A drop in the selling prices offered by the company.

ompute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Job 400 was started and completed. The following informati
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1. We weren't provided with enough information to calculate the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. <u>But, I can provide the information required as an example and the formulas necessary.</u>

Estimated overhead= 1,200,000

Estimated machine-hours= 350,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000/350,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $3.43 per machine hours.

2. Job 400:

Direct materials $320

Direct labor cost $240

Machine-hours used 36

Total manufacturing cost= 320 + 240 + 36*3.43

Total manufacturing cost= $683.48

3. Job 400= 50 units

Unitary cost= 683.48/50= $13.67

4. Moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost

Selling price per unit= 13.67*1.2= $16.404

Paulson Company began the year with retained earnings of $500,000. During the year, the company issued $720,000 of common stock,
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Revenue for the period = $2,100,000

Explanation:

Provided information,

Opening balance of retained earnings = $500,000

Expenses recorded for the period = $2,000,000

Dividends paid during the period = $80,000

Closing balance of retained earnings = $520,000

Therefore increase in retained earnings = $520,000 - $500,000 = $20,000

Earnings for the period - Expenses for the period - Dividend for the period = $20,000

Now, putting values in above,

Earnings - $2,000,000 - $80,000 = $20,000

Earnings = $20,000 + $80,000 + $2,000,000 = $2,100,000

Revenue for the period = $2,100,000

How does the viscosity of the magma fed to volcanoes affect nearby life and property?
saveliy_v [14]
<span>A volcano that expels highly viscous magma is a greater threat to life and property because it is more explosives and thus is more difficult or impossible to predict. When there are more explosives happen, the damage that created to nearby life and poverty will also be increased. Depending on the amount of magma that being erupted, it might take more than ten years for the soil to have good enough composition for plants to grow.</span>
