The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $270,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year, the company will receive payment of $620,000. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case, there will be a cash outlay of $584,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $620,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift. Note: Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Enter the smallest percent first. The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between % and %.
Wildhorse Company manufactures a check-in kiosk with an estimated economic life of 10 years and leases it to Sheffield Chicken for a period of 9 years.

In addition to the basic purchase price, the company paid a setup fee of $2,500, $6,400 sales tax, and $21,100 for special installation.

Since 1970, Super Rise, Incorporated, has provided maintenance services for elevators. On January 1, 2024, Super Rise obtains a contract to maintain an elevator in a 90-story building in New York City for 10 months and receives a fixed payment of $98,000. The contract specifies that Super Rise will receive an additional $49,000 at the end of the 10 months if there is no unexpected delay, stoppage, or accident during the year. Super Rise estimates variable consideration to be the most likely amount it will receive. Required: Assume that, because the building sees a constant flux of people throughout the day, Super Rise is allowed to access the elevators and related mechanical equipment only between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on any given day, which is insufficient to perform some of the more time-consuming repair work. As a result, Super Rise believes that unexpected delays are likely and that it will not earn the bonus. Prepare the journal entry Super Rise would record on January 1. Assume…
