You are evaluating how much Ace Limo should charge a client who will lease a car for 7 years. It will cost Acme $85,000 to buy the car and the car can be depreciated on a five-year MACRS schedule. Acme Limo’s pretax administrative costs including Maintenance, Insurance and Selling Cost are $10,000 per year and they occur at the beginning of each year. The after tax cost of capital is 10% and the tax rate is 21%. Lease payments are made in advance, that is, at the start of each year. The inflation rate is zero.

How much is the present value of after tax administrative costs?

What is the present value of Depreciation tax Shield?

What is the after tax break-even operating lease rate for the car?

What is the before tax break even operating lease rate for the car?

3) A 2 kg block is sliding at an initial speed of 10 m/s across a surface, encountering a constant friction force of 7 N. How much work is done on the block after it slides 22 cm?

Answer:  

Hint: Does the block gain or lose energy during this process? What sign does this imply for the work done on it?

4) How fast is the block moving after sliding 22 cm?

Answer:  

Hint: You can treat the block like a simple particle. What kind of energy does it have and how is this affected by the work done on it?

5) What's the total distance the block travels before coming to rest?

Correct, computer gets: 14.29 m

6) What is the average power of friction on the block over the time it takes the block to come to rest?

Answer:  


7) What was the instantaneous power of friction on the block after it slid the first 22 cm?

Answer

The BoomBoom Chemical Company is considering purchasing a new production machine. The machine has a cost of $250,000 and would cost an additional $10,000 after-tax to install. If purchases, the machine will increase earnings before interest and tax by $70,000 per annum. To operate effectively, raw material inventory would need to be increased by $10,000. The machine has an expected life of 10 years and no salvage value. It will be depreciated straight line (prime cost) over its 10 year life. The company has a marginal tax rate of 30 per cent and a cost of capital of 15 per cent.

REQUIRED:

(i) Calculate the initial outlay associated with the project.

(ii) Calculate the annual after-tax net cash flows associated with the project over years 1 -10.

(iii) Calculate the after-tax net cash flow in year 10.

(iv) Calculate the net present value of the project.

Prepare the production cost report for July 2020.

Marigold Inc.’s only temporary difference at the beginning and end of 2019 is caused by a $3,600,000 deferred gain for tax purposes for an installment sale of a plant asset, and the related receivable (only one-half of which is classified as a current asset) is due in equal installments in 2020 and 2021. The related deferred tax liability at the beginning of the year is $1,440,000. In the third quarter of 2019, a new tax rate of 20% is enacted into law and is scheduled to become effective for 2021. Taxable income for 2019 is $6,000,000, and taxable income is expected in all future years.

Prepare the journal entry necessary to adjust the deferred tax liability when the new tax rate is enacted into law. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Draft the income tax expense portion of the income statement for 2019. Begin with the line “Income before income taxes.” Assume no permanent differences exist. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Subjects with pre-existing cardiovascular symptoms who were receiving subitramine, an appetite suppressant, were found to be at increased risk of cardiovascular events while taking the drug. The study included 9807 overweight or obese subjects with pre-existing cardiovascular disease and/or type 2 diabetes. The subjects were randomly assigned to subitramine (4909 subjects) or a placebo (4898 subjects) in a double-blind fashion. The primary outcome measured was the occurrence of any of the following events: nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke, resuscitation after cardiac arrest, or cardiovascular death. The primary outcome was observed in 562 subjects in the subitramine group and 493 subjects in the placebo group.

Do the data give good reason to think that there is a difference between the proportions of treatment and placebo subjects who experienced the primary outcome? (Note that sibutramine has not been available in the United States since the end of 2010 due to its manufacturer's concerns over increased risk of heart attack or stroke, although at the present time it can still be purchased in other countries.)

State hypotheses, find the test statistic, and the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

     Meadows assumed a useful life of 17 years for the patent in May, 2004. On January

     1, 2012, it revised its useful life estimate downward to 6 remaining years.

     Amortization is computed for a full year if the cost is incurred prior to July 1, and no

     amortization for the year if the cost is incurred after June 30. The company’s year

     ends December 31.

Instructions – Compute the carrying value of the “gazak” on each of the following dates:
