Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Project 1:

Initial investment = $120,000

Cash inflow Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 = $40,000

Hence,

Annual cash flow = $40,000

Payback period:

= Initial investment ÷ annual cash inflow

= $120,000 ÷ $40,000

= 3 years

Therefore, the payback period for Project I is 3 years.

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP) is a manufacturer of toaster ovens. To improve control over operations, the president of AP wants t

joja [24]

Answer:

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP)

a) Flexible Budgets for productions level:

i) Production level of 90,000 units:

Unit variable cost = $13 $(7+4+2)

Total Variable Costs = 90,000 x $13 = $1,170,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,395,000

ii) Production level of 105,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 105,000 x $13 = $1,365,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,590,000

iii) Production level of 120,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 120,000 x $13 = $1,560,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,785,000

b) If AP sells the toaster ovens for $18 each, to make a profit of $309,000 before taxes, units to be sold are:

Break-even Point + Target Profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit)/Contribution per unit

Contribution per unit = $18 - $13 = $5

= ($225,000 + $309,000)/ $5

= $534,000/$5

= 106,800 units

Explanation:

a) A flexible budget tries to change the level of output. It is a technique used to assess performance under different volumes or activities. It helps management to make the right decisions, given the fact that different levels of activity may call for different cost and revenue reflections.

b) To make a target profit, the fixed cost is added to the target profit and divided by the unit contribution. This produces the number of units to be sold in order to achieve the target profit.

c) Contribution is the difference between the selling value and the variable costs. It is the element that covers fixed costs and generates profit before taxes.

NetonBe makes sweaters, which traditionally involved the following steps: dyeing (i.e., into six different colors), knitting of

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

NetonBe

The standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters is:

a) Approximately 600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Different sweater color & size combinations in the end = 18

Normally distributed demand mean of size = 1,000

Total demand of sizes = 18,000

Standard deviation of each size = 100

Standard deviation = 10% of mean (100/1,000 * 100)

Standard deviation for the total sizes = 1,800 (18,000 * 10%)

Average demand of new three sizes = 6,000

Total demand for the three new sizes = 18,000 (6,000 * 3)

Therefore, the standard deviation in demand for each of these three generic sweaters will be = 600 (6,000 * 10%)

A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: Th

xenn [34]

Answer:

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

Explanation:

Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.

We therefore proceed with the following two steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday

The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?

P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)

PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288

PV at 65 = $6,282.02

Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.

Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:

PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)

Where;

PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969

PV at 50 = $2,621.27

Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

2. Accounting Entry

Assets $17,000,000 (debit)

Goodwill $2,000,000 (debit)

Liabilities $13,000,000 (credit)

Investment in Kate $6,000,000 (credit)

Explanation:

The Acquisition of Kate must be done at the fair value of Assets and Liabilities at the acquisition date instead of book values.

Goodwill is the excess of the Purchases Price over the Net Identifiable assets acquired.

Calculation of Goodwill :

Purchase Price $6,000,000

Less Net Identifiable Assets

Assets at Fair Value $17,000,000

Less Liabilities at Fair Value ($13,000,000) ($4,000,000)

Goodwill $2,000,000

Accounting Entry

Assets $17,000,000 (debit)

Goodwill $2,000,000 (debit)
