Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $12,500 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $1,500. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of $25,000. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $26,000 to $23,500 if the new machine is purchased. The five-year differential effect on profit from replacing the machine is a(n)
Answer: increase of $11,000
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the five-year differential effect on profit from replacing the machine will be:
= $25000 - [5 × ($26,000 - $23,500)] - $1500
= $25,000 - (5 × $2500) - $1500
= $25,000 - $12,500 - $1,500
= $25,000 - $14,000
= $11,000
Therefore, there will be an increase of $11,000.

Vaughn Manufacturing's allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190000 at the end of 2020 and $178000 at the end of 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Vaughn reported bad debt expense of $31000 in its income statement. What amount did Vaughn debit to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts?
Answer: $19000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Vaughn Manufacturing's allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190000 at the end of 2020 and $178000 at the end of 2019 and that for the year ended December 31, 2020, Vaughn reported bad debt expense of $31000 in its income statement.
The amount that Vaughn debited to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts will be:
= $31000 - ($190000 - $178000)
= $31000 - $12000
= $19000
John has an escalator clause in his labor contract by which his salary increases automatically by the amount of the previous year's inflation rate. If John's salary is $100,000, this year's consumer price index is 105, and the previous year's CPI was 100, by what percent will John's salary be increased?
Answer: 5%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that John has an escalator clause in his labor contract by which his salary has to be increased automatically by the amount of the previous year's inflation rate.
If John's salary is $100,000, this year's consumer price index is 105, and the previous year's CPI was 100, the percent by which John's salary be increased will be (105 - 100) = 5%.
According to an old myth, Native Americans sold the island of Manhattan about 400 years ago for $24. If they had invested this amount at an interest rate of 7 percent per year, how much, approximately, would they have today
Answer:
FV= $13,605,744,645,293.70
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $24
Number of years= 400
Interest rate= 7 percent compounded annually
To calculate the value of the investment today, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 24*(1.07^400)
FV= $13,605,744,645,293.70
Answer:
They would have approximately $14 000 000 000 000.
Explanation:
From the compound interest formula,
Amount = P[tex](1 + \frac{r}{n}) ^{t}[/tex]
Given that: P = $24, R = 7%, t = 400 years,
Amount = 24[tex](1 + \frac{7}{100}) ^{400}[/tex]
= 24[tex](\frac{107}{100}) ^{400}[/tex]
= 1.360574465 × [tex]10^{13}[/tex]
The amount they would have is approximately $1.4 × [tex]10^{13}[/tex]

Answer:Consult with your immediate supervisor for next steps or contact the compliance department
Explanation:
Certain careful checks are really important in organization handling payments and documentation for the public and private sector, as many firms don't and won't want to follow the right procedure and doing so puts your own organization to the risk of it. It's better they are carefully observed and actions followed up immediately by contacting either your supervisor or reporting to the authorities.

You were asked to provide a report on performance of the project. The project is composed of 6 phases with each phase lasting for 2 weeks and an approved budget of $10,000 for the entire project. You are now at end of week 6. At this point you've spent exactly half your budget and the work that was planned for phases 1, 2, and 3 has been completed.
A. Project is on time and on budget
B. The project is on time, but we cannot determine whether the project is on budget
C. The project is on budget, but we cannot determine whether the project is on time
D. It's impossible to tell anything
Answer:
Option B. The project is on time, but we cannot determine whether the project is on budget
Explanation:
Each of the phase takes 2 weeks and $100,000 and at the end of the week 6 we can say that 3 phases of the project have been completed. Therefore, the task of completing 3rd phase is within time (3*2=6), which means that the project is on time.
But here we can't tell which phase exceeded the budget and which didn't exceeded the budget. So this can not be estimated here because of lack of information. Hence we can say that we are unable to form opinion on whether the project was on budget or not.
"A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?"
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Given that:
A customer in the 28% tax bracket has $4,000 of capital gains and $12,000 of capital losses. How much unused loss is carried forward to the next tax year?
Capital gain = $4000
Capital loss = $12,000
Net loss = ( capital loss - capital gain)
Net loss = ($12,000 - $4,000)
Net loss = $8,000
Maximum net loss deductible from taxes In a year is $3000
Net loss - deductible
$8,000 - $3,000 = $5,000
Unused loss carried into the next year = $5,000

Many individuals in the management of professional sports leagues are not fans of salary caps because they A. routinely force teams to cut veteran players earning higher salaries to get under the ceiling of the cap. B. routinely provide teams with spending floors so low-revenue teams are prevented from cutting salaries in order to stay competitive. C. often have so many exceptions that they have inevitably created a number of loopholes for those agents and general managers who are creative negotiators and thus, the cap is not creating the parity it was intended to create. D. All of these are correct.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
D. All of these are correct.
Explanation:
In professional sport, most of the individual involved at the management level has never been a fan of salary caps in the profession.
Because, of salary cap being an agreement or rule that places a limit on the amount of money that a team can spend on players' salaries, it tends to limit their ability to enforce positive changes in the team in-order to ensure level playing ground between them and other small team.
Salary caps tends to exists as a per-player limit or a total limit for the team's roster, or both.
A company purchased equipment and signed a 4-year installment loan at 10% annual interest. The annual payments equal $10,600. The present value of an annuity factor for 4 years at 10% is 3.1699. The present value of a single sum factor for 4 years at 10% is .6830. The present value of the loan is:
Answer:
$33,600.94
Explanation:
the present value of the loan = annuity payment x annuity factor = $10,600 x 3.1699 = $33,600.94
we can check that this amount is correct by:
first payment = $10,600 - ($33,600.94 x 10%) = $7,239.91
principal balance after first payment = $33,600.94 - $7,239.91 = $26,361.03
second payment = $10,600 - ($26,361.03 x 10%) = $7,963.90
principal balance after second payment = $26,361.03 - $7,963.90 = $18,397.13
third payment = $10,600 - ($18,397.13 x 10%) = $8,760.29
principal balance after third payment = $18,397.13 - $8,760.29 = $9,636.84
fourth payment = $10,600 - ($9,636.84 x 10%) = $9,636.32
principal balance after fourth payment = $9,636.84 - $9,636.32 = $0.52 (rounding error)

Thomas Company has a sales budget for next month of $1,000,000. Cost of goods sold is expected to be 25 percent of sales. All goods are paid for in the month following purchase. The beginning inventory of merchandise is $50,000, and an ending inventory of $64,000 is desired. Beginning accounts payable is $160,000.
For Thomas Company, the ending accounts payable should be:
A. $341,000
B. $356,000
C. $314,000
D. $414,000
Answer:
$264,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the ending accounts payable
First step is to find the cost of goods sold
Using this formula
Cost of goods sold=Sales budget * Sales percentage
Let plug in the formula
Cost of goods sold=$1,000,000*25%
Cost of goods sold=250,000
Second step is to calculate for the ending accounts payable
Using this formula
Ending accounts payable=Ending inventory + Cost of goods sold - Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Ending accounts payable= $64,000 + $250,000 - $50,000
Ending accounts payable= $264,000
Therefore the Ending accounts payable will be $264,000

Antiperspirant deodorants were introduced to the market in 1941. The market for antiperspirant deodorants is currently characterized by slowing product class revenue, fierce price competition, and repeat purchase behavior. Antiperspirant deodorants are currently at the ________ stage of the product life cycle.
Answer:
Maturity
Explanation:
In this scenario, Antiperspirant deodorants were introduced to the market in 1941. The market for antiperspirant deodorants is currently characterized by slowing product class revenue, fierce price competition, and repeat purchase behavior. Antiperspirant deodorants are currently at the maturity stage of the product life cycle.
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
Hence, maturity is the stage in which product experiences a peak in sales growth and then eventually slows as the product reaches more customers, and lastly price competition is fierce.

Suppose when a monopolist produces 50 units its average revenue is $8 per unit, its marginal revenue is $4 per unit, its marginal cost is $4 per unit, and its average total cost is $3 per unit. What can we conclude about this monopolist? a. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $200. b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250. c. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce more units and charge a lower price to maximize profit. d. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce fewer units and charger a higher price to maximize profit.
Answer:
b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250
Explanation:
The computation of monopolist is shown below:-
The monopolist is producing 50 units ate which are
MR = $4
Price = $8
MC = $4
ATC = $3
This applies that
MR = MC
while
P > ATC
So the monopolist is making a profit by making profit-maximizing quantity.
Total profits are (P - ATC) × Q
= (8 - 3) × 50
= $250

As an economy grows, A. the opportunity cost of production will approach 0. B. its PPF does not shift; instead, the production point moves from inside the PPF to be closer to the PPF. C. its PPF shifts outward. D. it can eliminate scarcity. E. the opportunity cost of production will increase.
Answer:
Option C, its PPF shifts outward, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “c” is correct because the growth in the economy shows two things. First, the output of the economy has increased during a particular period of time. Secondly, it shows that the potential of the economy has increased. This means its productivity to produce has increased. Therefore, in such cases, the PPF curve shifts rightwards and this rightwards shift in PPF shows the economic growth
