EDP is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $438,000, has a six-year life, and requires

$83,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $369,000, has a five-year life, and requires $92,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have a zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 14.2 percent. Which system should the firm choose and why?

The firm should choose system A because it has a six-year life and a lesser annual operating cost.                                                                  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Even though system A costs $438,000 the quality of the system is good. The quality of system A has a six-year life. So the quality is pretty good. It has an $83,000 tax annual operating cost.
  • System B costs $369,000 . Compared to the cost of system A, system B is low. But it has a $92,000 tax annual operating cost. This tax is higher than A.
  • System A has a higher life compared to system B. So the firm should choose system A.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

$67,000

Explanation:

Miller$72,000/60%=$ 120,000 loss to eliminate capital

Tyson$72,000/20%=$ 360,000 loss to eliminate capital

Watson$19,000/20%=$ 95,000 loss to eliminate capital

Watson is the partner most vulnerable to a loss of $95,000 which will inturn eliminate Watson's capital balance

Hence:

$162,000-$95,000

=$67,000

Therefore if the loss on disposal is less than $95,000, all partners will retain positive capital balances and receive some cash in liquidation reason been that other assets which is $162,000, must be sold for any amount over $67,000 for all partners to get cash.

Answer: Return the car and pay for the damage(D)

Explanation:

To disaffirm a contract means to avoid the obligations in a contract. A contract can be disaffirmed by a minor when he shows an intent that he or she isn't bound by it. Contracts can be disaffirmed by minors before they reach eighteen years. When a minor disaffirms a contract, all properties transferred to the minor can be gotten back.

In the scenario explained in the question, even though Eddie had damaged the car, he can disaffirm the contract and satisfy his duty if restitution by returning the car and paying for damage.

Ray Jene earns $900 a week at a Publix supermarket. Ray's payroll deductions are 28%. What is Ray's take-home pay?
kaheart [24]
If Ray earns $900 a week and deductions are 28% Ray's take home pay is:
$648 a week

If we assume that the deductions of 28% are taken out of the $900 weekly we will multiply 900 by 0.28 = 252. Then subtract 252 which is the deduction amount from the 900 and we end up with take home pay of $648.
