Answer:
14.70 m
Explanation:
The computation of estimated total capital investment (direct indirect) for the smaller 6-MW farm is shown below:-
Cost of 6MW plant = Cost of 7MW today × (Index today ÷ Index in past) × (Capacity of 6MW plant ÷ Capacity of 7MW plant )^Cost capacity factor
= = 1.1 × 10m × (600 ÷ 400) × (6 ÷ 7)^0.75
= 14.6985
or
= 14.70 m
So, for computing the cost of 6MW plant we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:

Explanation:
The calculation of cash inflow is shown below:-
Expected cash collections
For the month of June
Months Sales Percentage Expected collections
April $282,500 5% $14,125
May $213,750 30% $64,125
June $225,000 60% $135,000
Total collection in the month of June $213,250
Here we assume Sales for April$282,500, May $213,750 and June $225,000.

Motor homes 3780 37,800 142,884
Luxury homes 756 71,400 (53,978.4)

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": The convenience yield is always positive or zero.
Explanation:
The convenience yield reflects the premium of possessing an asset instead of one of its derivates or contracts. This situation arises in front of inverted markets, where holding the asset itself may bring more profits than purchasing a derivate of the same asset.
The convenience yield tends to be positive or zero because the prices of assets cannot fall below zero. In other words, they are not negative.
convenience yield is a benefit of owning a physical asset over a futures contract. The yield is typically positive or zero. In the context of investment and consumption assets, the yield assumptions may vary.
The question is focusing on the concept of convenience yield in finance and its relationship with investment and consumption assets. Convenience yield is the non-monetary advantage or benefit that a holder gets from owning a physical good or an asset over a futures contract on that asset. If you decide to hold an asset as opposed to a futures contract on the asset, it means because the net benefits – that is the benefits from holding the asset, minus the benefits of holding the contract – must be nonzero. Therefore, option A is correct: The convenience yield is always positive or zero.
Moreover, for an investment asset, which is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in value, the convenience yield is generally assumed to be zero because holding it delivers no utility beyond the financial returns it provides. So option B is not always true. The convenience yield being negative for a consumption asset, an asset purchased for current use, is also unlikely (option C is incorrect). Such a negative value would suggest that owning the asset is somehow disadvantageous - which contradicts the reason for purchasing a consumption asset. Lastly, the convenience yield does not measure the average return earned on futures contracts, therefore option D is also incorrect.

Answer:
$273,164
Explanation:
Data given in the question
Recognized amount of service revenue = $340,000
And, the account receivable balance is $66,836
So, by considering the above information, the amount of cash collected is
= Recognized amount of service revenue - the account receivable balance
= $340,000 - $66,836
= $273,164
By deducting the account receivable balance from the service revenue recognized amount we can get the cash collected amount
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the number of equivalent units for direct material and conversion cost is shown below:
For materials
= units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 100%
= 23,240 units + 1,280 units
= 24,520 units
For conversion
= Opening work in process inventory × remaining percentage + units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= 1,160 units × 70% + (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 60%
= 812 units + 23,240 units + 768 units
= 24,820 units
