Companies may try to lower their labor costs by laying off higher paid workers.
Typically the higher paid workers will be professionals who have worked their way up over time and tend to be older, while younger workers fresh out of school and looking for their first jobs will be more willing to take lower salaries.
Answer:
$1,464,000
Explanation:
The computation of the depletion expense is shown below:
Purchase price plus additional cost = $5,640,000
Extracted tons during four year period = 940,000 tons
Current year tons extracted = 244,000 tons
So,
Depletion expense = Purchase price plus additional cost ÷ extracted tons during four year period × current year tons extracted
= $5,640,000 ÷ 940,000 tons × 244,000 tons
= $1,464,000
So in this case, you would need to find the present value (PV) of the monthly payments. With the information given, you would have a PV= 195,413.08, which is less than the lump sum payment. In this case, you would take the 1 time payment.
Another way to look at this is to calculate the future value (FV) of both payouts. For the lump sum payment, you would assume the same interest rate (6%) and at the end of the same 20 years period, your investment would be worth 662,040.90 while the monthly payment option would be worth 646,857.25
