An asset for drilling was purchased and placed in service by a petroleum production company. Its cost basis is $60,000,and it has an estimated MV of $12,000 at the end of an estimated useful life of 14 years. Compute the depreciationamount in the thirdyear and the BV at the end of the fifth year of life by each of these methods:
Answer:
straight line depreciation:
depreciation expense per year, the same for every year = ($60,000 - $12,000) / 14 = $3,428.57
book value end of year 1 = $56,571.43
book value end of year 2 = $53,142.86
book value end of year 3 = $49,714.29
book value end of year 4 = $46,285.72
book value end of year 5 = $42,857.15
double declining balance:
deprecation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/14 x $60,000 = $8,571.43
book value end of year 1 = $51,428.57
deprecation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/14 x $51,428.57 = $7,346.94
book value end of year 2 = $44,081.63
deprecation expense year 3 = 2 x 1/14 x $44,081.63 = $6,297.38
book value end of year 3 = $37,784.25
deprecation expense year 4 = 2 x 1/14 x $37,784.25 = $5,397.75
book value end of year 4 = $32,386.50
deprecation expense year 5 = 2 x 1/14 x $32,386.50 = $4,626.64
book value end of year 5 = $27,759.86
sum of digits:
depreciable value = $60,000 - $12,000 = $48,000
total sum of digits = 120 years
deprecation expense year 1 = $48,000 x 15/120 = $6,000
book value end of year 1 = $54,000
deprecation expense year 2 = $48,000 x 14/120 = $5,600
book value end of year 2 = $48,400
deprecation expense year 3 = $48,000 x 13/120 = $5,200
book value end of year 3 = $43,200
deprecation expense year 4 = $48,000 x 12/120 = $4,800
book value end of year 4 = $38,400
deprecation expense year 5 = $48,000 x 11/120 = $4,400
book value end of year 5 = $34,000
Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours. His total cost of operating one tour is fixed at $450. Vincent’s cost is not reduced if he runs a tour with a partially full bus. While his cost is the same for all tours, Vincent charges each passenger his/her willingness to pay (reservation value): adults $18 per trip, children $10 per trip, and senior citizens $12 per trip. At those rates, on a typical day Vincent’s demand is:
Answer:
There is some information missing, and when I looked for it I found similar questions but the demand was already given and the question was about Vincent's total daily income.
Passenger Price Daily demand
Adults $18 70
Children $10 25
Senior citizens $12 55
total 150
total revenue per day = ($18 x 70) + ($10 x 25) + ($12 x 55) = $1,260 + $250 + $660 = $2,170
total operating costs per day = (150 / 50) x $450 = $1,350
operating income per day = $2,170 - $1,350 = $820

Based on the total annual cost the company should make the product as it saves the cost by $14,700
A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $400,000 and has $175,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $550,000. The old machine could be sold for $250,000. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $72,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $24,000 per year for eight years.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated May 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?
Answer:
Company A
a. Differential Analysis dated May 29
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Opportunity cost $250,000 $550,000
Variable production costs 580,000 192,000
Total cost $830,000 $742,000
b. Sunk cost in this situation is: $225,000 ($400,000 - $175,000) cost of the old machine.
Explanation:
Company A's relevant cost for the old machine is the opportunity cost that it will lose if it continues with Alternative 1 or continued use of the old machine and the additional cost for the new machine for Alternative 2. Also relevant is the variable production costs that would be incurred if the old or new machine is used.
Company A's sunk cost is the cost of the old machine minus accumulated depreciation. Sunk cost is not relevant for decision making under differential analysis.
Company A's differential analysis is a managerial tool that is used to differentiate one decision alternative from another. In this analysis, only relevant costs are considered. A relevant cost in this case is cost that its inclusion or elimination makes a difference in the decision outcome.

Suppose the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper, but its average total costs do not change. What is likely to be an effect?
Answer:
The demand curve is less elastic.
Explanation:
The steeper demand curve shows that the demand had become less elastic because the steeper demand curve represents the less elastic demand while the flatter demand curve shows the more elastic demand. therefore, if the demand curve for a monopolistic competitor becomes steeper that means people are less responsive towards the quantity. So if the price increases or decreases, then people will not change their quantity more than the change in price.
Consider a situation where a firm owned by you is competing against an identical rival firm. You are able to choose how much of your good (quantity) to supply to the market. You are given the option to set your quantity first, wait and let your rival set their quantity, or have both you and your rival set their quantities at the same time. What should you do
Available Options Are:
A. Set your quantity first.
B. Set your quantity second.
C. Set your quantity at the same time.
D. It doesn't matter.
Answer:
Option A. Set your quantity first.
Explanation:
The Cournot Equilibrium says that the decisions are made simultaneously and this simultaneous decision is that each firm will choose its own quantity, given what quantity of output its rival has set. Every firm will be producing a quantity that maximizes its profits and this approach will lower the profits because of Cournot Equilibrium.
The firm that sets its quantity first is at better position because the other firms might think about the worse market condition taking Cournot effect into account.
The optimal choice would be to set our quantity first, hence the option A is the right option.
According to the Security Risk Management: Building an Information Security Risk Management Program From the Ground Up textbook, "there will be risks that can't be mitigated at all, aren't worth the effort to reduce the exposure any further, or just won't be addressed in the short term due to other priorities" (p. 47). Provide a real-world example for each of these three scenarios and explain why the risk meets the criteria.
Answer with Explanation:
Risk which can’t be mitigated: The risks that the share price would fall due to sudden political environment instability or events that effects the economy will definitely affect the business operations as well. Thus are the risks that can not be mitigated at all. Another example would be Corona virus implications on the operation of the company which is again a risk that can't be mitigated.
Risks, that aren’t worth the effort to reduce the exposure any further:
The part of the sentence talks about the risk exposure which says that if the company doesn't resides in an area which is not prone to seismic activity and the chances of earthquake in a country is below 0.000001% which is almost negligible but still it is worthless to purchase the earthquake insurance. As this risk is almost negligible hence it is not worth the effort to reduce the exposure any further.
Risks that wouldn't be addressed in short term due to other priorities:
The risks that will not occur in the next 12 month, can be addressed after 6 months and thus allowing the company to prioritize the risks that must be resolved first. This means that if their is a risk that one of our several products that would be launched after 12 months from now will not be winning customer market can be addressed after 6 months because it is dependent on our future action. If we don't launch our product, our product is not rejected by the customer. Hence situations like this allows us to prioritize our risks.
Ready Company has two operating (production) departments: Assembly and Painting. Assembly has 280 employees and occupies 55,200 square feet; Painting has 120 employees and occupies 36,800 square feet. Indirect factory expenses for the current period are as follows: Administration $ 86,000 Maintenance $ 102,000 Administration is allocated based on workers in each department; maintenance is allocated based on square footage. The total amount of indirect factory expenses that should be allocated to the Painting Department for the current period is:
Answer:
$61,200
Explanation:
Maintenance expenses allocated to assembly department
Allocation base = Square footage
= $102,000 * $55,200 / ($55,200 + $36,800)
= $102,000 * $55,200 / $92,000
= $61,200
Margaret’s car loan statement said that she would pay $7,683.20 in interest for a 5-year loan at an interest rate of 9.8%. Assuming this is an example of simple interest, how much did Margaret borrow to buy the car?
Answer: $15680
Explanation:
Principal = Unknown
Time = 5 years
Rate = 9.8%
Simple interest = $7683.20
Simple interest= PRT/100
7683.20 = (P × 9.8 × 5)/100
7683.20 = 49P/100
Cross multiply
768320 = 49P
P = 768320/49
Principal = $15680
Margaret borrowed $15680 to buy the car.

A 4 year project has an annual operating cash flow of $55,000. At the beginning of the project, $4,600 in net working capital was required, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm also spend $23,100 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $4,940 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $5,880. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow?
a. $65,809
b. $63,422
c. $21193
d. $55,951
e. $65,151
Answer:Year 4 Cash flow =$65,151.----E
Explanation:
Salvage value of the equipment =$5,880
Book value at end of project before sale = $4,940
Gain on disposal = $940
tax gain non disposal = 35% of $940 =0.35 x 940= $329
Amount after tax salvage value = $5,880 - $329=$5,551
Year 4 Cash flow = Operating cash flow +Net working capital +Amount after tax salvage value = $55,000 + $4,600 +$5551= $65,151.
"expects to generate free cash flows of $200,000 per year for the next five years. Beyond that time, free cash flows are expected to grow at a constant rate of 5 percent per year forever. If the firm’s average cost of capital is 15 percent, the market values of the firm’s debt and preferred stock are $400,000 and $100,000, respectively. There are 125,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the value of the firm’s stock"
Answer:
The value of the firm's stock is $703,920
The price is $5.63 per share ($703,920/125,000 shares)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Free cash flows = $200,000
Present value of the free cash flows = $200,000 x Annuity Factor, for 5 years at cost of capital of 15% x (1 + growth rate)
= $200,000 x 3.352 x 1.05
= $703,920
Therefore, common equity = $703,920
To calculate Company XYZ's free cash flows in their present value, they are discounted, using the present value table. The resulting amount is equivalent to the value of the common stock. The company's free cash flow is the amount that is left after settling operating expenses and capital expenditure.

b. Which crew size works best?
Answer:
a. Labor productivity is calculated as: Labor productivity = Total Yards Installed / Total Crew Size
Hence, the labor productivity for each week is;
Week 1 = 97 / 4 = 24.25
Week 2 = 71 / 3 = 23.67
Week 3 = 98 / 4 = 24.5
Week 4 = 54 / 2 = 27
Week 5 = 63 / 3 = 21
Week 6 = 52 / 2 = 26
b. A crew of size 2 works the best as they generate the highest labor productivity of 27. The crew with highest number generate a labor productivity of 24.5
Collins Company reported consolidated revenue of $120,000,000 in 20X8. Collins operates in two geographic areas, domestic and Asia. The following information pertains to these two areas:
Sales to External Interarea Sales
Customers Between Affiliates
Domestic $70,000,000 $12,000,000
Asia $50,000,000 $8,000,000
What calculation below is correct to determine if the revenue test is satisfied for the Asian operations?
a. $58,000,000/$120,000,000.
b. $50,000,000/$140,000,000.
c. $58,000,000/$140,000,000.
d. $50,000,000/$120,000,000.
Answer:
d. $50,000,000/$120,000,000
Explanation:
The computation of the correct calculation when the revenue test is satisfied is shown below:
As we can see that the fourth option is correct i.e.
= Asian sales ÷ Total consolidated sales.
= $50,000,000 ÷ $120,000,000
Here the affiliate sales are not relevant so the same is not considered
Hence, the correct option is d.

Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000). Assuming that cash from operations will be the same for each of the following activities, which activity exposes this company to the most risk of being issued an emergency loan?
a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equiptment
b) liquidate the new inventory
c) retiring the oldest bond
d) a $5 dividend
Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment
Explanation:
Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.
Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.
The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.

Leslie works as customer service representative for Lighthouse Point Lanterns. Her job is to fulfill customer orders and answer any questions that the customer may have. In order to ensure the best service possible, Lighthouse Point Lanterns makes test phone calls to their customer service representatives and rates their ability to correctly answer customer calls. If Leslie properly handles 80% of the test calls, she will receive a 20% bonus in her next pay check. This is an example of:_________.
Answer:
a performance reward.
Explanation:
A performance reward is a type of employee reward system. Companies generally reward employees in an attempt to motivate them to work more, harder or more efficiently. E.g. a company may reward salespeople that close 100 sales per week, regardless of the type of sales made. This type of reward is based on the gross amount of work carried out by the employee.
In Leslie's case, she is being rewarded for being an efficient employee. The parameter for measuring her efficiency is that 80% of the test calls that she makes are handed properly. She is not rewarded on the number of test calls, but instead on how she handled them.
This is an example of a performance reward if Leslie is going to be rewarded with a 20% bonus for handling 80% of the test calls.
A performance reward is a reward that a customer receives in an organization which is based on how well they have performed in the business.
The reward system here has stated that if Leslie is able to meet up with the target that the business has placed for her to reach she would be rewarded with a bonus of 20% when she receives her next salary.

Assume Division 1 of the XYZ Company had the following results last year. Sales $5,000,000 Operating income 1,000,000 Total assets (average) 10,000,000 Current liabilities 500,000 Management's required rate of return is 8% and the weighted average cost of capital is 6%. Its effective tax rate is 30%. What is the division's economic value added?
Answer:
Economic Value was $130,000
Explanation:
As we know that:
Economic Value Added = Net Operating Income after tax - (WACC * Capital Employed)
Here
Operating Income After Tax is $700,000 (Step1)
WACC is 6%
Capital Employed is $9,500,000 (Step2)
By putting values, we have:
EVA = $700,000 - 9,500,000 * 6%
EVA = $700,000 - $570,000
EVA = $130,000
Step1: Operating Income After Tax
Simply deduct the 30% tax share from the operating income to arise at Net Operating Income After Tax.
Mathematically,
Net Operating Income After Taxes = Operating Income *(1 - Tax Rate)
Here
Operating Income is $1,000,000
Tax Rate is 30%
By putting values, we have:
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $1,000,000 * (1 - 30%)
Net Operating Income After Taxes = $700,000
Step2: Capital Employed
Capital Employed = Total Assets - Current Liabilities
Capital Employed = $10,000,000 - $500,000
Capital Employed = $9,500,000
