Answer:
I should have $11,554.94 in my savings account today.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of a growing annuity as follows:
PVga = (P / (r - g)) * (1 – ((1 + g) / (1 + r))^n) .................... (1)
Where;
P = maintenance costs in the first year = $150
r = interest per year = 2%, or 0.02
g = growth rate of maintenance costs = Expected annual increase in maintenance costs / maintenance costs in the first year = $100 / $150 = 0.666666666666667
n = useful life = 8
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PVga = (150 / (0.02 - 0.666666666666667)) * (1 - ((1 + 0.666666666666667) / (1 + 0.02))^8)
PVga = 11,554.94
Therefore, I should have $11,554.94 in my savings account today.
Answer:
We have to discount these payments to find the present value
500,000
500,000/1.1
500,000/1.1^2
500,000/1.1^3
We keep on doing this until we reach 500,000/1.1^19
After that we add all the payments and get the value. A less time consuming way of doing it is using a financial calculator
Pv=?
N=19
FV=0
PMT=500,000
=4,182,460.05 we add 500,000 to this because the first payment was not discounted=4,682,460.05= Present Value.
Explanation:
Answer:
• Under U.S. GAAP, companies recognize deferred tax assets and then reduce those assets with an offsetting valuation allowance if its is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized.
• Under IFRS, deferred tax assets only are recognizefd to begin with if its is probable (defined as '' more likely than not'') that they will be realized.
Explanation:
A deferred tax asset occurs when taxes are either been overpaid or there's an advance payment for them. In this scenario, they're not yet acknowledged in the income statement.
Valuation allowance is a reserve used by a business to offset the deferred tax asset. The statements that are true about the valuation allowance are:
• Under U.S. GAAP, companies recognize deferred tax assets and then reduce those assets with an offsetting valuation allowance if its is not more likely than not that the asset will be realized.
• Under IFRS, deferred tax assets only are recognizefd to begin with if its is probable (defined as '' more likely than not'') that they will be realized.
Answer:
a) Sales volume variance = $1496000 unfavorable
flexible-budget variance = $192000 favorable
b) For direct materials
Price variance = `$135000 unfavorable
efficiency variances = $527920 favorable
For direct manufacturing labor
Price variance = `$36600 unfavorable
efficiency variances = $914815 favorable
Explanation:
a) Sales volume variance = (Actual units sold - Budgeted units sold) x Budgeted price per unit = (4800 - 7000) × $680 = $1496000 unfavorable
flexible-budget variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) x Actual units sold= ($720 - $680) × 4800 = $192000 favorable
b) For direct materials
Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual quantity of units purchased = ($5.95/ pound - $8/pound) × 66000 pound= `$135000 unfavorable
efficiency variances = (Actual unit - Standard unit) x Standard cost per unit = (66000 pound - 10 pound) × $8 per pound= $527920 favorable
For direct manufacturing labor
Price variance = (Actual cost - standard cost) x Actual hours = ($48/hour - $50/hour) × 18300 hours = `$36600 unfavorable
efficiency variances = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard cost per hour= (18300 hour - 3.7 hour) × $50/hour = $914815 favorable
Answer:
The firm's receivable turnover is 20 times
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = (Credit sales ÷ average accounts) receivable
where,
Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) ÷ 2
= ($0 + $50,000) ÷ 2
= $25,000
And, the net credit sale is $500,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= ($500,000 ÷ $25,000)
= 20 times
And, the average collection period in days = Total number of days in a year ÷ accounts receivable turnover ratio
= 360 days ÷ 20
= 18 days
