The net present values of the two investments are $46000 and $55000 respectively .
However, the present value index for the first investment is 1.40 while the second investment has 1.2 as net present value index.
Judging from net present value,the the second investment is preferable,but since net present value is an absolute value,it does not relate the net present value to the underlying outlay,the first investment is preferred based on present value of index 1.4
Explanation:
The net present value for both alternatives is shown below:
$ $
Present value of cash inflows 160000 335000
Present value of cash inflows (114000) (280000)
Net present value 46000 55000
Present value index=present value of inflows/present value of outflows
First investment =160000/114000=1.40
Second investment =335000/280000=1.2
Answer:
$7,140 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the materials quantity variance for March is shown below;
We know that
Material Quantity Variance = Standard rate × ( Standard Quantity for actual production - Actual Quantity Used)
=$5.25 × ([4,800 units × 1.5 pounds per unit] - (10,700 - 2,140)
=$5.25 × (7,200 pounds - 8,560 pounds)
= $7,140 unfavorable
Answer:
(B) Mark has a $3,000 capital loss deduction.
Explanation:
Based on the tax bracket proposed, we deteminate the 7,000 is a short-term gain
and the second a long term gain.
First we must offset short capital losses against short capital gains:
7,000 - 18,000 = 11,000 short-term loss
now we offset against long term, if it is gain it will be long term gain if loss short term loss:
6,000 - 11,000 = 5,000 short-term loss
Okay we end up with a total loss of 5,000 but; <u>we have a cap at 3,000 </u> . So that is all Mark can claim as a deduction in other categories against wages and salaries or to carry foward over next period
For this case we have an equation of the form:
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
x: number of years
Substituting values we have:
By the time the earnings increase to 75000 we have:
From here, we clear x:
