The Toyota Camry is one of the best-selling cars in North America. The cost of a previously owned Camry depends upon many factors, including the model year, mileage, and condition. To investigate the relationship between the car’s mileage and the sales price for a 2007 model year Camry, the following data show the mileage and sales price for 19 sales (PriceHub website, February 24, 2012). Suppose that you are considering purchasing a previously owned 2007 Camry that has been driven 60,000 miles. What price you would offer to the seller and why?

Include discussion of the scatter diagram, regression equation, test for significant relationship, coefficient of determination, correlation coefficient, interpretation of the slope of the regression equation, 95% prediction interval and the 95% confidence interval of the mean sales price given mileage.

Grouper Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,510,000. It received a downpayment of $490,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,020,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,020,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2019, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 9%.

Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2019. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)

If an asset cost $48,000 and has a residual value of $8,000 and a useful life of eight years, the depreciation in the third year, using the double-declining balance method, would be (assume a full year of depreciation in the first year):

a. $5,625

b. $9,000

c. $12,000

d. $6,750

A building was purchased for $250,000 and has a useful life of 20 years, and a residual value of $50,000. After it has been used 4 years, its accumulated depreciation using the straight line method would be (assume a full year of depreciation in the first year):

a. $40,000

b. $50,000

c. $10,000

d. $12,500

Massachusetts Mining Company purchased a gravel pit for $2,800,000. It is estimated that 8 million tons of gravel can be extracted over the pit's useful life, with a residual value of $400,000. If 3 million tons are extracted and sold during the first year, how much depletion expense should be recorded?

a. $1,050,000

b. $1,800,000

c. $1,000,000

d. $900,000

An asset is purchased for $20,000. It has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated useful life of ten years. After three years of use, the estimated residual value is revised to $4,000. Assuming straight-line depreciation, depreciation expense in year four of use would be (round your answer to the nearest whole dollar):

a. $2,286

b. $1,643

c. $2,100

d. $1,150

Question 2

As treasurer of Firm A., you are investigating the possible acquisition of Firm B. You have the following data:

  •  You estimate that investors currently expect a steady growth of about 6% in Firm B’ earnings and dividends. Under new management this growth rate would be increased to 8% per year, without any additional capital investment required.

  •  Assume that the cost of equity remains unchanged and the Firm A's equity value also remains unchanged.

Your company is considering the purchase of a new production system with an installed cost of $1,250,000. The cost will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the five-year life of the project, and the system can be sold at the end of the project for $225,000. It will provide additional revenue of $685,000 in the first year, and the additional revenue is expected to grow 5% per year thereafter. The associated cost of goods sold is estimated to be 30% of revenue, and other operating expenses are estimated to be 23% of revenue. The project will also require an initial working capital investment of $180,000, which will be recovered at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 21% and the required rate of return is 10%, what is the NPV of this project?
