On April 1, Cyclone's Co. purchases a trencher for $314,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value of $57,000. Exercise 8-11 Straight-line, partial-year depreciation LO C2 Compute depreciation expense at December 31 for the first and second year assuming the company uses the straight-line method.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $51,400
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $314,000
Salvage value= $57,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (314,000 - 57,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $51,400
The depreciation expense is the same every year.

On January 1, year 2, Connor Corporation signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note due in three years at a discount rate of 10%. Connor elects to use the fair value option for reporting its financial liabilities. On December 31, year 2, Connor's credit rating and risk factors indicated that the rate of interest applicable to its borrowings was 9%. The present value factors at 10% and 9% are presented below.
PV factor .751 10%, 3 periods
PV factor .826 10%, 2 periods
PV factor .909 10%, 1 periods
PV factor .772 9%, 3 periods
PV factor .842 9%, 2 periods
PV factor .917 9%, 1 periods
At what amount should Connor present the note on the December 31, year 2 balance sheet?
Answer:
the amount that should present the note in year 2 is $84,200
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should present the note in year 2 is shown below:
= Amount of non-interest bearing note × present value factor for 2 years at 9%
= $100,000 × 0.842
= $84,200
hence, the amount that should present the note in year 2 is $84,200
In previous question, suppose the company intends to go public by selling 3,000,000 new shares. Moreover, assume the company has no debt but has an excess cash of $20 million, and the revenues for next year is estimated to be $25 million. Further assume thad the industry average forward EV-to-Sales multiple is 4, whereas the average trailing EV-to-Sales ratio is 5. What is the estimated IPO stock price
Answer:
A. $3.5 million
B. $120
Explanation:
A. Calculation for What is the post-money valuation for the last round of funding in dollars
First step is to calculate the total value of the company
Total value of the company = (200,000 + 100,000)* (150,000/100,000)
Total value of the company= (200,000 + 100,000)* $1.5
Total value of the company= 300,000 * $1.5 Total value of the company=$450,000
Now let calculate The post money valuation
Post money valuation = (200,000 + 100,000 + 400,000) * (2,000,000/400,000)
Post money valuation= (200,000 + 100,000 + 400,000) * $5
Post money valuation= 700,000 * $5
Post money valuation= $3.5 million
Therefore the post-money valuation for the last round of funding in dollars will be $3.5 million
B) Calculation for What is the estimated IPO stock price
First step is to calculate the EV
EV = $25 million * 5
EV= $100 million
Second step is to calculate the Total number of shares
Total number of shares = 700,000 + 300,000
Total number of shares = 1 million
Third step is to calculate the Equity
Equity = $100 million + $20 million
Equity = $120 million
Now let calculate the value per share
Value per share = $120 million/1 million
Value per share = $120
Therefore the estimated IPO stock price will be $120

3. Aztec Furnishings makes hand-crafted furniture for sale in its retail stores. The furniture maker has recently installed a new assembly process, including a new sander and polisher. With this new system, production has increased to 90 pieces of furniture per day from the previous 60 pieces of furniture per day. The number of defective items produced has dropped from 12 pieces per day to 5 per day. The production facility operates strictly eight hours per day. Evaluate the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process. Please show your work and any formulas utilized.
Answer:
77.08%
Explanation:
Calculation to Evaluate the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process
Using this formula
Change in productivity =[( Increased in production- Dropped in defective items produced)-(Previous pieces of furniture per day-Dropped in defective items produced)]/-(Previous pieces of furniture per day-Dropped in defective items produced)*100
Let plug in the formula
Change in productivity =[(90 pieces per day-5 per day)-(60 pieces per day-12 pieces per day )/(60 pieces per day-12 pieces per day) *100
Change in productivity =(85-48)/48*100
Change in productivity =37/48*100
Change in productivity =0.7708*100
Change in productivity =77.08%
Therefore the change in productivity for Aztec using the new assembly process will be 77.08% Increase in productivity.

You will receive $5,000 one year from now, 6000 three years from now, and 7000 five years from now in real terms. Each payment will be received at the end of the period with the first payment occurring one year from today. The relevant nominal discount rate is 9.625 percent and the inflation rate is 2.3 percent. What are your winnings worth today in real dollars
Answer:
$14,495.56
Explanation:
The value of the earnings today can be determined using a financial calculator.
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = $5,000
Cash flow in year 2 = 0
Cash flow in year 3 = $6,000
Cash flow in year 4 = 0
Cash flow in year 5 = $7,000
I = 7.16%
PV =
According to the fisher equation : (1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
(1.09625) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1.023)
(1 + real interest rate) = 1.09625 / 1.023
real interest rate = 7.16%
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

When the classical model of decision making is said to be normative, this means: The model is most useful for nonprogrammed decisions The model is best suited for conditions of high uncertainty. The model defines how people actually make decisions, under less than ideal conditions. The model defines how people should ideally make decisions
Answer:
The model defines how people should ideally make decisions.
Explanation:
A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.
On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.
The classical model of decision making is a strategic process which assumes that managers (decision makers) are well furnished with large amounts of information and as such are able to practically process the information for decision making.
When the classical model of decision making is said to be normative, this means the model defines how people should ideally make decisions.
Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent between making and buying the part. Enter your answer with two places after the decimal point (i.e., 78.90).
Question Completion:
ABC Company makes 40,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The per unit product cost of this part is shown below:
Direct materials = $15.30
Direct labor = 27.40
Variable overhead 2.10
Fixed overhead = 24.70
Total = $69.50
An outside supplier has offered to sell ABC Company 40,000 units of this part a year for $66.10 per unit. If ABC Company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make this part could be used to make more units of a product that is in high demand. The additional contribution margin that could be earned on this other product would be $100,000 per year. If ABC Company accepts the outside supplier's offer, $21.90 of the fixed overhead cost being applied to the part would be eliminated. The remaining amount would continue to be incurred and would be allocated to the company's remaining products.
Calculate the selling price per unit charged by the outside supplier that would make ABC Company economically indifferent between making and buying the part. Enter your answer with two | places after the decimal point (i.e., $78.90)
Answer:
ABC Company
The selling price that the outside supplier would charge ABC Company to make it economically indifferent between making and buying the part is:
= $90.50
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Required annual quantity of the part = 40,000 units
Outside supplier's price per unit = $66.10
Total savings = 24.40
Total price for ABC to be indifferent = $90.50
Savings from outside supply:
Additional contribution ($100,000/40,000) = $2.50
Eliminated fixed costs = $21.90
Total savings = $24.40
b) ABC Company would be indifferent and equally satisfied if the outside supplier charges it $90.50 or it makes the part at a per-unit cost of $69.50 while it loses a benefit or savings (otherwise called opportunity cost) of $24.40.
The management accountant at Lang Manufacturing Co. collected the following data in preparation for a life-cycle analysis on one of its products, a leaf blower: Item This Year Change Over Last Year Average Annual Change Over the Last Four Years Annual sales $2,700,000 1.8% 23.5% Unit sales price 450 2.4% 8.3% Unit profit 100 -1.0% 3.0% Total profit 600,000 -1.2% 30.0% The stage of the sales life cycle the product is in is: Withdrawal. Introduction. Decline. Maturity. Growth.
Answer: Decline stage
Explanation:
The stage of the sales life cycle the product is in the Decline stage of the product cycle. We can see that the average performance of the product over its past life is higher than that of its last year's performance.
Under the decline stage, there will be a reduction in the quantity of goods that's sold thereby leading to a reduction in profits until it gets to a point that producing the goods will not be profitable anymore.
Rousey, Inc., had a cash flow to creditors of $16,380 and a cash flow to stockholders of $6,740 over the past year. The company also had net fixed assets of $49,380 at the beginning of the year and $56,740 at the end of the year. Additionally, the company had a depreciation expense of $11,940 and an operating cash flow of $50,265. What was the change in net working capital during the year?
Answer:
$7,845
Explanation:
Calculation for What was the change in net working capital during the year
First step is to calculate the Cash flow from assets
Cash flow from assets = $16,380 + 6,740
Cash flow from assets= $23,120
Second step is to calculate the Net capital spending
Net capital spending = $56,740 − 49,380 + 11,940
Net capital spending = $19,300
Now let calculate the Change in net working capital
Change in net working capital = $50,265 − 19,300 − 23,120
Change in net working capital= $7,845
Therefore the change in net working capital during the year will be $7,845
There are a number of statistics computed to measure the price level, such as the GDP deflator and the CPI. The choice of which of these measures to use depends in many cases on the specific question in which you are interested. For each of the following situations, state whether the CPI or GDP deflator is a more appropriate measure to use and explain why the statistic is preferred.
Question Completion:
a. You are interested in looking at the impact of higher prices of imported oil in the overall cost of living.
b. The government is interested in whether increases in defense spending are affecting the price level.
c. An economic consulting firm is investigating the impact on the aggregate price level of more computers and electronic technology used in production.
Answer:
The GDP Deflator and the CPI
a. The CPI is used here, as its measure is not restricted to domestically produced goods and services.
b. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate here. Defense spending is not related to consumer goods and services but to government spending, which is a component of the GDP.
c. The GDP Deflator is more appropriate with this investigation. Computers and electronic technology used in production relate to business Investments, which are a component of the GDP and are not part of consumer goods and services or a component of the CPI.
Explanation:
The GDP deflator is exclusively used to measure the prices of all goods and services produced domestically in an economy and is based on the nominal or real GDP. On the other hand, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is used to measure the weighted average prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, whether produced domestically or imported.

The Harris company has 3 options for a new production process. A Labor-Intensive process (A) would cost $350,000 for equipment and $35 for labor and materials for each item produced. A More Automated process (B) costs $970,000 in equipment but has a labor/material cost of $30 per item produced. A Fully Automated process (C) costs $2,510,000 for equipment and $22 per item produced. Based solely on cost, for what range of production should process B be chosen
Answer:
B is more profitable when the production level is higher than 124,000 units, but lower than 192,500
Explanation:
the difference between B and A per unit = $5
the difference in investment = $970,000 - $350,000 = $620,000
B is more profitable when total output is higher than $620,000 / $5 = 124,000 units
the difference between C and A = $8
the difference in investment = $2,510,000 - $970,000 = $1,540,000
C is more profitable when total output is higher than $1,540,000 / $8 = 192,500 units

n the context of competing in the global economy, globalization suggests that: a. an organization's nationality is held strongly in consciousness. b. the world's cultural diversity is of no significance to transnational organizations. c. the world is divided by borders and diverse cultures. d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Answer:
d. the world is free from national boundaries and is borderless
Explanation:
Globalisation is defined as the increase in connectivity between different nations as a result of increased volume of trade and culture exchange that occurs between the nations.
Such increase in inter connectivity leads to a global economy where national borders do not seem to exist.
Globalisation reduces the cumbersome process of having to pay various charges when transacting between countires
Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved.
Using the following information, determine the overhead rates and the actual cost assigned for each of the activity cost pools in a possible ABC system for Waterways. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

b) Levels of Activity:
Unit-level activities: At this level, the costs are concerned with direct materials, direct labor, and machine maintenance.
Product-level activities are specific to a product.
Batch‐level activities require a group (batch) of units to be produced or some processes performed together.
Facility-level activities are support activities required for the development and production of goods and services. They are organization-wide.
You are the owner of a winter sporting goods store and recently purchased a shipment of 60 sets of snowboards and snowboard bindings at a total cost of $29,000. (You were unable to purchase separately, and the smallest order was for a set of 60.) The community in which your store is located consists of many different types of snowboarders, ranging from expert to beginners. From historical data, you know that different snowboarders value snowboards and bindings differently. However, you cannot profitably price discriminate because you cannot prevent resale (arbitrage). Market research shows there are about 20 advanced snowboarders who value snowboards at $350 and bindings at $250, 20 intermediate snowboards who value snowboards at $250 and bindings at $275, and 20 beginning snowboarders who value snowboards at $175 and bindings at $325. Compare the profits earned under the following two pricing strategies: Selling snowboards and bindings separately at the profit-maximizing prices Bundling snowboards and bindings and selling for one price
Answer:
Profits Comparison:
Sold Separately Bundled
Revenue $32,500 $30,000
Costs 29,000 29,000
Profits $3,500 $1,000
The calculations show that it is far better to sell the snowboards and bindings separately at the profit-maximizing prices than bundling them and selling for one price.
This is because, if the single price is more than $500, the beginners might not buy the items and they will remain unsold.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Cost of purchase of 60 sets of snowboards and snowboard bindings = $29,000
Unit cost of a set of snowboard and binding = $483.33 ($29,000/60)
Snowboarders Advanced Intermediate Beginners Average
Number 20 20 20
Snowboards $350 $250 $175 $258.33
Bindings 250 275 325 $283.33
Total $600 $525 $500 $541.66
Total revenue: Total
when sold separately $12,000 $10,500 $10,000 $32,500
Total revenue:
when bundled at a price (for example $500 for each) = $30,000 ($500 * 60)
Sold Separately Bundled
Revenue $32,500 $30,000
Costs 29,000 29,000
Profits $3,500 $1,000
A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
