A machine with a useful life of six years and a residual value of $3,000 was purchased at the beginning of year 1 for $30,000. The machine was sold for $15,000 on April 1 in year 4. a. What was the book value of the machine at the end of year 3 assuming the straight-line method of depreciation is used

Answer:

Book value= $16,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Useful life= 6 years

Purchase value= $30,000

Residual value= $3,000

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (30,000 - 3,000) / 6

Annual depreciation= $4,500

Now, the accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3:

Accumulated depreciation= 3*4,500= $13,500

Finally, the book value:

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 30,000 - 13,500

Book value= $16,500

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. A manufacturing process has 100 customer orders to fill. Each order requires one component part that is purchased from a supplier. However, typically, 2% of the components are identified as defective, and the components can be assumed to be independent(a) If the manufacturer stocks 100 components, what is the probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components?(b) If the manufacturer stocks 102 components, what is the probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components?(c) If the manufacturer stocks 105 components, what is the probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components?

External Influences on Consumer Behavior SaGa is a European fashion store chain that specializes in accessible, trendy clothes and accessories for men and women. Its target audience includes fashion-conscious young men and women, ages 16-30. After success in Europe, SaGa is getting ready to launch its flagship stores in five U.S. markets-New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Miami. Based on its product offerings, SaGa is targeting millennials (those born between 1982 and 2000, also called gen Y). As a group, millennials are open to making impulse purchases, and are socially connected as demonstrated by their use of Twitter to tweet about products and brands. Also, based on its "accessible" price for its fashion offerings, Saga is targeting middle-to upper-middle-class millennials. SaGa's advertising agency of record was excited about the impending launch campaign in the U.S. and its first-ever foray into the American market, which is heavily influenced by celebrity and pop culture. The agency was developing a campaign that focused on "usage occasion"—the ad would show a group of friends, in their 20s, getting together for a Friday night out in the city. A social occasion such as a night out with friends, combined with the setting of a city street lined with trendy clubs and restaurants, highlighted a perfect usage occasion for wearing fashionable clothes from SaGa. In the ad, the friends walk through a busy city street that has a party atmosphere, and pass several other people whose fashion sense is not as trendy as theirs. As they pass these people, the contrast between their group and the other people is highlighted by the use of muted, fading colors (for the other people) versus bright and pleasing colors (for the group of friends wearing SaGa). The agency was thus contrasting those who do not wear SaGa, a dissociative group, with those who do. Meanwhile, Raza, a high-end fashion store chain in Europe, is planning to enter the Japanese market. RaZa's promotional strategy decisions include highlighting the purchase situation in their ads by showing the exclusive boutique store atmosphere, and by using international supermodels that denoted an aspirational group for their target audience. RaZa targeted older and more affluent consumers compared to SaGa; their target market consisted of upper-class gen X'ers in Japan (those born between 1946 and 1976). RaZa's research revealed that the Japanese culture understood and respected high-end fashion. The consumer does not make purchase decisions in isolation. A number of external factors have been identified that may influence consumer decision-making, such as culture, subcultures, social class, reference groups, and situational determinants. Match the various external (or environmental) influences on consumer behavior to the relevant situations in SaGa's promotional decisions. Then match these external influences to examples found in RaZa's decisions.

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

A construction worker was working at the construction site of a new building. An open elevator, which had been installed in the building by the elevator manufacturer, was used to haul workers and building materials between floors. While the worker was riding the elevator, it stalled between floors due to a manufacturing defect in the elevator. The worker called for assistance and was in no danger, but after waiting 15 minutes for help, he became anxious and jumped 12 feet to get out. He severely injured his back when he landed.
In an action by the worker against the elevator manufacturer to recover for his back injury, is the worker likely to obtain a judgment for 100% of his damages?

Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $740,000, consisting of $160,000 of accounts payable, $450,000 of notes payable, and $130,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:
Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:
Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:
Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales
