Answer: the fair value of the asset should be greater than or equal to 90%

The fair value of a leasee's asset is an important criterion in the decision making of whether to approve a finance lease. Leasee's term of payment should also be greater than 75% of the economic life of the property being leased.

This type of lease is where the finance company actually owns the asset during the entire time of the lease. However, the lessee has total operating control and has a part of the risks and returns from the asset. </span>

MariettaO [177]

The research and testing costs associated with the new ovens is said to arise from a product-sustaining activity.

Explanation:

Product-sustaining activities are carried out where appropriate to facilitate the production of each product type. Types of design-sustaining practices include product requirements, technical improvements and special testing procedures.

Such costs may be assigned to each commodity but are not proportional to the number of manufactured units or quantities. Organisation-sustaining operations support the overall production cycle of an organisation.

The ventilation and maintenance of the building, the protection of the facility and the administration are examples of safe facilities.

Products are allocated the costs for the operations at a unit level, batch level and component level depending on the consumption of each commodity. Goods are distributed randomly or viewed as time expense for purpose of facility-sustaining operations.

Consider the following projects, X and Y where the firm can only choose one. Project X costs $600 and has cash flows of $400 in

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Neither any of the projects should be accepted

Explanation:

In this question, we have to use the net present value formula which is shown below:

Net present value = Present value of all years cash flows - Initial investment

where,

The Present value of cash inflows is calculated by applying the discount rate which is presented below:

For this, we have to first compute the present value factor which is computed by a formula

= 1 ÷ (1 +rate) ∧ number of year

number of year = 0

number of year = 1

Number of year = 2

So,

Rate = 25%

For year 1 = 0.800 (1 ÷ 1.25) ∧ 1

For year 2 = 0.640 (1 ÷ 1.25) ∧ 2

Now, multiply this present value factor with yearly cash inflows

For Project A,

The present value of year 1 = $400 × 0.800 = $320

The present value of year 2 = $400 × 0.640 = $256

and the sum of all year cash inflow is $576

So, the Net present value would be equal to

= $576 - $600 = -24

And,

For Project B,

The present value of year 1 = $500 × 0.800 = $400

The present value of year 2 = $275 × 0.640 = $176

and the sum of all year cash inflow is $576

So, the Net present value would be equal to

= $576 - $600 = -24

Since in both the projects, the NPV is negative.

Hence, neither any of the projects should be accepted

At the beginning of the year, Brick Makers had cash of $183, accounts receivable of $392, accounts payable of $463, and inventor

Pie

Answer:

amount of the net source $15

Explanation: $Working\ capital= Current\ assets-Current\ liabilities$

$source\ of\ cash =[Cash+AR+Inventory]- [Amount\ Payable]$

cash = $183

received amount = $392

inventory =$714

payable amounts =$463

current assest = (183+392+714)-463=$826

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

cash = $167

received amount = $409

inventory =$682

payable amounts =$447

current liabilities =(167+682+409-447)=$811

Hence since current liabilities is more than current assests, therefore there will be loss of accounts

Hence source of cash= (826-811) = $15.

The Clipper Corporation had net operating income of $380,000 and average operating assets of $2,000,000. The corporation require

elixir [45]

Answer:

Company's return on investment (ROI) = Net operating income / Average operating assets

Company's return on investment (ROI) = 380000/2000000

Company's return on investment (ROI) = 19%

Residual income = Net operating income - Return on investment*Average operating assets

Residual income = 380000 - 18%*2000000

Residual income = $20,000

ROI of new investment = Net operating income/Investment

ROI of new investment = 12950/70000

ROI of new investment = 18.50%

ROI of overall company if investment taken place = Total net operating income/ Total average operating assets

ROI of overall company if investment taken place = (380000+12950) / (2000000+70000)

ROI of overall company if investment taken place = 18.98%.

Ohio Swiss Milk Products manufactures and distributes ice cream in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The company wants to expan

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

a. The regression equation required is Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X.

b. b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) = –0.9423

b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = 88.80%

b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.

c. The manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of Mean of X and Y and other values.

a. Develop a regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced.

The regression can be written as follows:

Y = bo + b1X ………………… (1)

b1 = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2) = –34,273.08 / 121,585.14 = –0.2819

b0 = Mean of Y – (b1 * Mean of X) = 1,018.20 - (365.44 * 0.2819) = 915.18

Substituting b) and b1 values into equation (1), regression equation to forecast the cost per gallon as a function of the number of gallons produced can be written as follows:

Y = 915.18 – 0.2819X ……………………….. (2)

Equation (2) is the regression equation required.

b. What are the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination? Comment on your regression equation in light of these measures.

b-1. Correlation coefficient (r) can be calculated using the following formula:

r = (Sum of (Y - Mean of Y) * (X - Mean of X)) / ((Sum of (Y - Mean of Y)^2) * (Sum of (X - Mean of X)^2))^0.5 = –34,273.08 / (10,879.60 * 121,585.14)^0.5 = –0.9423

b-2. Coefficient of determination = r^2 = –0.94^2 = 0.8880, or 88.80%

b-3. The negative correlation coefficient of -0.9423 implies that increase in X mostly causes a decrease in Y. The coefficient of determination implies that 88.80% variation in Y is explained by X.

c. Suppose that the market survey indicates a demand of 325,000 gallons in the Bucyrus Ohio, area. Estimate the manufacturing cost per gallon for a plant producing 325,000 gallons per year.

Since X and Y are in thousands, 325,000 gallons implies we have:

X = 325

Substitute X = 325 into equation (2), we have:

Y = 915.18 - (0.2819 * 325)

Expressing in full form, we have:

Y = $823

Therefore, the manufacturing cost per gallon is $823.56.
