Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $60,000 at the beginning of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $20,000 or will be entitled to an additional $20,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at yearend have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $20,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. After four months, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $20,000. 

 

Required: 

1. Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract

2. Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the $20,000 bonus will be received. 

3. Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract

4. Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the $20,000 cash bonus.

"A firm is considering purchasing a new milling machine and has collected the following information for its income statement and cash flow statement. However, this income statement was calculated as if there is no inflation! All dollars are expressed in constant (year-0) dollars. Recalculate the income and cash flow statement by assuming there is a general (average) inflation of 4.8% applied to revenue, O&M, and salvage value.
- The firm will pay back the loan in 2 years, and the annual loan payment is $12,815.
- The tax rate is 30%.
- The revenue for year 1 is $30,000 and $22,000 for year 2.
- O&M for year 1 is $9,000 and $11,900 for year 2.
- The interest paid on the debt is $1726 for year 1 and $894 for year 2.
- The taxable income is $10,843 for year 1 and $1,981 for year 2.
- The income taxes are $3,253 for year 1 and $594 for year 2.
- The milling machine costs $59,000.
- The salvage value at the end of year 2 is $47,000.
Calculate the IRR of the cash flow based on actual dollars. Express your answer as a percentage between 0 and 100.
You should calculate the depreciation based on the information given in the problem, but do not refer to the MACRS table. You will also need to calculate the amount that is borrowed and that goes to the principal on the debt in years 1 and 2."
