Answer:

a. $20,000

b. $3,000

Explanation:

The Cost of a Property, Plant and Equipment item includes, Purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to operate in the way management intended.

<u>Calculation of the Cost of the Car</u>

Purchase Price                              $19,000

Less Trade Discount                      ($1,000)

Net                                                  $18,000

Add Cost of luxurious interior        $2,000

Total Cost of the Car                    $20,000

<u>Depreciation :</u>

Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of expense to the Profit and loss during the period of use to reflect recovery of economic benefits.

Depreciation Charge (Straight line method ) = (Cost - Residual Value) / Estimated Useful Life

                                                                         = ($20,000 - $5,000) / 5

                                                                         =  $3,000

Therefore, the depreciation expense each year that the car is in use is $3,000.

For a project, the following earned value data have been assessed: AC: $ 4,000,000 CV: $ -500,000 SPI: 1.12 BAC: $ 9,650,000 Wha
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The BCWS is also known as Planned Value (PV).

So, in this way, <em>PV = 3.125.000</em>

Explanation:

With the data we can obtain the PV as follows:

First, let's calculate EV as EV = CV + AC.

EV = -500.000 + 4.000.000 = <em>3.500.000</em>

After this, we can calculate PV with this formula: SPI = EV/PV

PV = EV/SPI

PV = 3.500.000/1.12 = <em>3.125.000</em>

<em />

<em>We can conclude, with these results, that the project actually is forward about the schedule but with an overcost about the budget. In other words, the project advance must be 41%  but now is on 36% due to the negative variance on the costs (CV).</em>

In-N-Out Burger decides to target both the college student community and the artisan build-your-own burger segment. What advanta
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Increasing total sales by targeting more customers

Explanation:

When a company has a product that can satisfy various segments of customers, they will target as many customers as possible.

This will increase the number of sales that the company makes and in turn will increase revenue.

Targeting a wider customer base is the strategy being used by In-N-Out Burger. They decided to target both the college student community and the artisan build-your-own burger segment.

This startegy can however be more expensive if different advertisements are required to target different segments. Promotion expense will increase.

Crossfade Corp. has a bond with a par value of $2,000 that sells for $1,902.14. The bond has a coupon rate of 6.48 percent and m
Virty [35]

Answer:

yield to maturity = 7.06%

Explanation:

yield to maturity (YTM) is calculated using the following formula:

YTM = {C + [(FV - PV) / n]} / [(FV + PV) / 2]

  • FV = $2,000
  • PV = $1,902.14
  • C = $2,000 x 6.48% x 1/2 = $64.80
  • n = 12 x 2 = 24

YTM = {64.80 + [(2,000 - 1,902.14) / 24]} / [(2,000 + 1,902.14) / 2] = (64.80 + 4.0775) / 1,951.07 = 0.0353 or 3.53% semianually or 7.06% annually

Since the bond sells at a discount, its yield to maturity will be higher than the coupon rate.

Companies using LIFO are required to disclose the amount at which inventory would have been reported had it used FIFO. Similarly
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

LIFO is in fact, only allowed to be used in the United States, because under the new IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), the used of LIFO has been prohibited.

The reason for this, is that LIFO inflates the value of inventory, because the (usually) lower cost of old inventory is what is reported.

This is why companies using LIFO are obliged to report the hypothetical value of the inventories had they used FIFO.
