Answer:

Multiple choices are:

18.5%

16.7%

34.6%

15.9%

The correct option is the last one,15.9%

Explanation:

The simple rate of return is the annual incremental net savings divided by the initial investment.

The annual incremental net savings is the annual savings recorded from the new process minus annual depreciation charge.

annual savings is $143,000

depreciation charge=cost of new equipment-salvage value of old equipment/useful life of the new equipment

depreciation charge=($414,000-$18,000)/6=$66,000

simple rate of return=$66,000/$414,000=15.9%

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$700

Explanation:

If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.

Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300

Bond's Life = 6 years

Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually

Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually

Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.

Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700

O A. move to a larger space Up to 500 customers a day line up to buy Avalon's breads, scones, muffins, and coffee. Staffing and management are worries. Avalon now employs 35 and plans to hire 15 more. Its payroll will climb by 30 percent to 40 percent. The new CEO has executed an ambitious agenda that includes the move to a larger space, which will increase the rent from $3,500 to $10,000 a month Source: CNN, March 24, 2008

Avalon's decision to __________ is a long run decision.

A. Move to Larger Space

B. Hire 15 more employees

Answer:

Option A. Move to Larger Space

Explanation:

The decision that alters only a single variable factor is considered as a short run decision. Labor, electricity usage, increased production are examples of variable factors. This means that increase in employees is a short run decision.

On the other hand, decision to increase or decrease the fixed factors are considered as long run decision because it is difficult to alter the decision and if we do so, then we will encounter heavy losses for a long period of time. Long run decision includes selling or purchasing or leasing of property, plant and equipment are considered as fixed factors.

In this case, Avalon is considering to move to a larger space which will result in significant increae in fixed cost. Hence it is fixed factor and is long run decision. Hence Option A is correct here.

icang [17]

Answer:

C. $4000

Explanation:

Given that

Total opportunity cost = salary plus interest forgone, that is 50,000 + 6% of 100,000

= 50,000 + 6000 = 56,000.

Total revenue received = 60,000

Recall that

Economic profits = Revenue - (implicit + explicit cost)

And that

Implicit cost = opportunity cost = 56,000

Explicit cost = 0 (from the question, revenue covered it)

Thus

Economic profit = 60000 - 56000

= $4000
