) A homeowner is considering putting solar panels on the roof of his house. The installed cost of putting 3 kW of solar panels is $6000 and the panels come with a 25 year guarantee. The panels would be able to meet the average monthly electrical consumption of 850 kW-hrs for the house. a) If the homeowner has the $6000 available for the project, what would the cost of electricity from the power company need to be greater than ($/kW-hr) to make the project viable if other investments are providing 8% interest. ($0.0545/kW-hr) b) If the homeowner had to borrow the $6000 from the bank at 5% interest for 10 years (monthly payments) what would the cost of electricity need to be greater than in $/kWhr from the power company to make the project viable if other investments are providing 8% interest. ($0.0476/kW-hr)

Answer:

a) If the homeowner has the $6000 available for the project, what would the cost of electricity from the power company need to be greater than ($/kW-hr) to make the project viable if other investments are providing 8% interest. ($0.0545/kW-hr)

we can use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = monthly savings x annuity factor

monthly savings = $6,000 / 129.52005 = $46.3249

price of kW-hr = $46.3249 / 850 = $0.054499851 ≈ $0.0545

b) If the homeowner had to borrow the $6000 from the bank at 5% interest for 10 years (monthly payments) what would the cost of electricity need to be greater than in $/kWhr from the power company to make the project viable if other investments are providing 8% interest. ($0.0476/kW-hr)

the monthly payment to cover the loan = PV / annuity factor

monthly payment = $6,000 / 94.28033 = $63.64

price of kW-hr = $63.64 / 850 = $0.074870588 ≈ $0.0749

In the Vasquez Corporation, any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to Cost of Goods Sold. Last year, the Corporation incurred $27,000 in actual manufacturing overhead cost, and applied $29,000 of manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The beginning and ending balances of Finished Goods were equal, and the Corporation's Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year totaled $71,000. Given this information, Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been: Multiple Choice $98,000 $73,000 $71,000 $69,000

Heather owns a two-story building. The building is used 40% for business use and 60% for personal use. During 2020, a fire caused major damage to the building and its contents. Heather purchased the building for $800,000 and has taken depreciation of $100,000 on the business portion. At the time of the fire, the building had a fair market value of $900,000. Immediately after the fire, the fair market value was $200,000. The insurance recovery on the building was $600,000. The contents of the building were insured for any loss at fair market value. The business assets had an adjusted basis of $220,000 and a fair market value of $175,000. These assets were totally destroyed. The personal use assets had an adjusted basis of $50,000 and a fair market value of $65,000. These assets were also totally destroyed. If Heather’s AGI is $100,000 before considering the effects of the fire, determine her itemized deduction as a result of the fire. Also determine Heather’s AGI.

A useful approach for understanding a client's business environment and associated business risks is to perform a PESTLE analysis. PESTLE is an acronym for Political, Economic, Social,Technological, Legal and Environmental factors that are used to assess the client's business environment. A PESTLE analysis focuses on factors that may affect an entity's business model, but are beyond the control or influence of the client. While beyond management's direct influence, such factors may significantly impact an entity's business risk. Read the background information about the poultry industry and conduct additional research on the intemet to obtain the latest news and information on the industry. Brainstorm political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors that could affect Asher Farms' business risk. Unless your instructor indicates otherwise, identify at least one business risk factor for each component of the PESTLE acron

Milano Co. manufactures and sells three products: product 1, product 2, and product 3. Their unit selling prices are product 1, $40; product 2, $30; and product 3, $20. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are product 1, $30; product 2, $15; and product 3, $8. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 6:4:2. Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $270,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture products 1 and 2. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: product 1 by $10 and product 2 by $5. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $50,000. If the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. If the company uses the new material, determine its new break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. (Round to the next whole unit.) What insight does this analysis offer management for long-term planning? Please explain your work in detail and provide in-text citations. At least 5 references are required among which one should be the textbook as source of the data. Include the initial situation and initial assumptions in your answer.
