Answer:

x = $16,078.46

$100,000 = 1.0101x + 1.0204x + 1.0309x + 1.0417x + 1.0526x + 1.0638x

$100,000 = 6.2195x

x = $100,000 / 6.2195 = $16,078.46

A project with an initial investment of $460,100 will generate equal annual cash flows over its 11-year life. The project has a
seropon [69]

Answer: $65,075.85

Explanation:

Given that the cash flow should be constant, it will be an annuity.

The initial investment will be the present value of this annuity.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate

460,100 = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + 8.2%) ⁻¹¹) / 8.2%

460,100 = Annuity * 7.070211525

Annuity = 460,100 / 7.070211525

= $65,075.85

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Soundgarden Company

Journal Entries:

July 10, 2020:

Debit Cash Account (or Accounts Receivable) $800,000

Credit Sales Revenue $800,000

To record the sale of 200 copiers at $4,000 apiece.

July 10, 2020:

Debit Warranty Expense $66,000

Credit Warranty Liability $66,000

To record the estimated warranty maintenance on copiers sold.

December 31:

Debit Warranty Liability $17,000

Credit Inventory $17,000

To record actual warranty costs incurred.

Explanation:

Soundgarden should record these transactions according to the matching principle, whereby warranty expense is recognized in the period that matches the sale so that all expenses related to sales are recognized when the sales are recognized.  This is achieved by creating a warranty liability account after the sales and recording a warranty expense as the debit entry.  When actual warranty costs are incurred, the Soundgarden Company will debit the warranty liability and credit the inventory actual for the actual costs.
