It is estimated that the equipment will have a $60,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. Depreciation expense each year using the straight-line method will be:________. a. $70,800 b. $58,800 c. $49,200 d. $48,000

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

b)

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800

Explanation:

According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.

So we will add the purchase cost to installation  , freight charges.

Cost of assets = 300,000 + 14,000 + 40,000 =$354,000

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value)/ Number of years

                                   = (354,000 - 60,000)/5

                                 =$58,800

Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800

A trustworthy friend asks to borrow money from you today. She promises to pay you exactly $3500 in 2 years, and she insists on your earning the same interest rate on your loan to her as you would have earned keeping your money in your savings account that earns 2%. How much can you lend her today

Answers

Answer:

I can lend her $3364 today

Explanation:

A = P(1 + r)^n

A = $3500

r = 2% = 2/100 = 0.02

n = 2 years

3500 = P(1 + 0.02)^2

3500 = P(1.02)^2

P = 3500/1.0404 = $3364 (to the nearest whole number)

Suppose your boss has asked you to analyze two mutually exclusive projects - Project A and Project B. Both projects require the same investment amount, and the sum of cash inflows of Project A is larger than the sum of cash inflows of Project B. A coworker told you that you do not need to do an NPV analysis of the projects because you already know that Project A will have a larger NPV than Project B. Do you agree with your coworker's statement?a. Yes, Project A will always have the largest NPV, because its cash inflows are greater than Project B's cash inflows.


b. No, the NPV calculation will take into account not only the project's cash inflows but also the timing of cash inflows and outflows. Consequently, Project B could have a larger NPV than Project A, even though Project A has larger cash inflows.


c. No, the NPV calculation is based on percentage returns. So, the size of the project's cash flows does not affect a project's NPV.

Answers

Answer:

b. No, the NPV calculation will take into account not only the project's cash inflows but also the timing of cash inflows and outflows. Consequently, Project B could have a larger NPV than Project A, even though Project A has larger cash inflows.

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

An example:

Suppose there are two projects with a cash outlay of $500.

The cash flow for project A :

Cash flow from year 1 to 3 =$0

Cash flow from year 4 to 7 =$ 500

WACC = 10%

Using a financial calculator, the NPV =$690.78

The cash flow for project B

Cash flow for year one and two =$300

Cash flow for year three = $100

Cash flow for year four and five =$500

WACC = 10%

using a financial calculator, the NPV = $747.76

From this example, even though the cash flow from project A is higher than the cash flow from project B, project B's NPV is higher.

I hope my answer helps you.

SCENARIO:Marcus, feeling stressed out from work, decided to search for a meditation app for his phone that would help him relax during the day. One app, CalmDown, appeared to be promising. It didn't have any reviews yet and looked to be a brand-new app, so he decided to try it out. He downloaded the app to his phone and opened it up. The first screen required he enter in his name and email address. At the very bottom of the screen it had some small writing, but Marcus didn't notice it and hit the continue button.Had Marcus clicked on the link at the bottom of the screen, he would have seen the following:The second screen stated "Three-day trial version- Free! $59.99 annual fee thereafter." Marcus was annoyed that the app would cost him almost $60 but figured he would set a reminder on his phone to cancel the app before the trial period expired so he wouldn't get charged. Plus, he wanted to see the app in action. If it was actually worth the price, he wouldn't mind paying the annual fee. He clicked "Continue" and put in his bank card information on the next screen. The following screen asked Marcus a series of questions about his stress level and what he felt caused stress in his life. He clicked "high" and "work" as the level and cause. He then completed the first CalmDown meditation in the app, but was not impressed with its functionality. Deciding he would cancel his subscription immediately, he went into the profile settings to try to find the cancel option but couldn't. He searched every possible place on the app but didn't see a way to cancel the subscription. Marcus decided to try to find the app's developer through their website, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Already stressed and becoming more frustrated, Marcus decided to contact the app store. They informed him that he should be able to go into his app store account and cancel the subscription there. However, when Marcus went there, he didn't see the app as an option or as a subscription. Thinking that maybe his subscription didn't process, he just deleted the app from his phone.Marcus didn't give the app or the subscription any more thought, becoming increasingly more distracted by the amount of stress at work. Four months later, Marcus was looking at his bank account online and noticed it was lower than it should have been. He began reviewing the charges and noticed multiple charges for $59.99 to a merchant named "CDgotU." He immediately remembered the app and contacted his bank to dispute the charges. His bank replied that due to the charges being debit withdraws he needed to dispute them within 2 days of being made. Moreover, if he had been diligent about watching his account, they could have put a block on the account and the remaining fraudulent charges would have been prevented. The bank representative also told him that he should try to get a refund from the company that charged him. After making his case with the bank representative for several hours about how he tried to cancel his subscription, he was unsuccessful. The bank's representative was able to provide Marcus a phone number attached to the Merchant account, but when Marcus called the number it was disconnected. The bank could not provide him with any additional information such as a company address or website.After more internet searching, Marcus saw a number of other complaints online about the app, and noticed it had been removed from the app store and was no longer available for download. Marcus decided to bring an action against the company for fraud, breach of contract, conversion, and several other claims in his home state of Vermont.Can Marcus compel the bank or the app store to provide additional information about the creator of CalmDown in order to determine the creator's location and potential assets?a. No, these records are not subject to being subpoenaed due to their confidential nature. b. Yes, he can subpoena records during the discovery process from both, but the bank and the app store may ask the judge to deny the request or limit the request due to privacy concerns. c. Yes, but he must subpoena these records prior to the filing of the complaint. d. Yes, he can file interrogatories during the discovery process to both the bank and the app store.
