  1. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $680,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $155,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $26,000.
  2. A machine costs $530,000, has a $24,200 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $76,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.

Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Could make a answer fast you can please! Thank you!

Learning Objectives: CHAPTER 4

  1. Describe fraud and its impact
  2. Explain the objectives and components of internal control
  3. Design and use a bank reconciliation
  4. Evaluate internal controls over cash receipts and cash payments
  5. Construct and use a cash budget
  6. Report cash on the balance sheet

EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:

One thing I found challenging was the credits and debits concept from chapter two and matching them up, (common stock would be a cash debit and stock credit). Once I got it down it was one of those "why didn't it make sense to me sooner" moments but at the time I didn't understand and would switch things. How I approached the chapter was really to make sure I understood all the terms, ie notes payable, accounts receivable, etc. Being able to understand them without going back to the textbook made the process a bit faster and overall easier. Another thing was really taking advantage of the internet and that if there was something in the textbook I didn't understand, looking it up on Google and going through different websites and tutorials. While going through the problems I made sure to take as thorough notes as I could with information that I knew would help me moving forward, targeting the problems that were difficult for me. Being able to go back and read through something that was written in a way that made the most sense to me as an individual definitely proved helpful. I also Skyped a friend who is currently enrolled in a financial accounting class and we would work through problems together.

Monkey Business, an import business, builds special-order yachts. They decide to build one for a customer for at a cost $2,500,000. It will take 2 years (they start building in June 1, 2007) to build with total costs of $1,900,000: costs of $320,000 in 2007; $1,200,000 in 2008; and the remainder in 2009 (assume they stick to budget). The customer puts a deposit down of $500,000 and pays the remainder in 4 installments, each due every 6 months. For each year (2007, 2008, and 2009) compute the revenue expense, and gross profits reported for this construction project. Assume they do not have a written contract but based on this customer having purchased several yachts in the past, they believe he will pay for the boat in a timely manner. Show all your work.

SAS Computers owns a patent on a computer processor. The processor was developed and capitalized at a cost of €2,100,000 in the beginning of 2015. It was expected to be economically useful for 7 years and have no residual value. At the beginning of 2018, a new processor was developed, making the old processor worth €900,000 (independent appraiser) with €200,000 total cost to sell. The present value of the processor’s future cash flows, given the development of the newer processor, is estimated to be €870,000. At this point, it is expected to have a useful life of 4 years with no residual value. Is the processor impaired in 2018? If it is impaired, prepare the to record the loss. Also prepare the journal entry for amortization in 2018. Show your work.
