Response:

The buyer has the option to pursue specific performance of the contract. In real estate transactions, to be able to take legal action for specific performance, the buyer must have the necessary funds (or mortgage) ready for closing. It’s challenging to claim damages due to the unwillingness of the seller to proceed with a house sale, as houses are unique; similar properties may vary greatly in value depending on their locations.

By pursuing specific performance, the non-breaching party requests that the other party fulfill their obligations under the contract.

Answer:

NPV = negative 37,599

Explanation:

To determine the NPV of the new sewing machine, we subtract the investment from the present value of anticipated cash inflows.

Initial investment = Cost of machine + Training expenses - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should refrain from acquiring the new machine since the NPV is negative.      

Answer:

Total hours worked = 17,550 hours

Explanation:

Labour hours efficiency variance = labour efficiency variance/standard labour cost per hour

The hourly standard labour cost = $24

= 1,200/24= 50 hours

Labour variance (in hours) = Actual labour hours - Standard hours for actual units produced

The standard labour hours allowed for the production of 875 cranes is:

= 20 × 875 = 17,500 hours

Let the actual hours be "y"

50 = y - 17500

y = 50 + 17500

y= 17,550 hours

Total hours worked = 17,550 hours

Answer and Explanation:

Here is the breakdown:

1. For the contribution to Mother Nature

This corresponds to sales amounting to $2,750

2. Regarding Tlaloc's value-added

It equates to

= $7,750 - $2,750

= $5,000

3. For Bob’s value added

It corresponds to

= $20,000 - $7,750

= $12,250

This process applies equally to all three.
