- Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.39 and lasts 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.10 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.115. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 11 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.

Abercrombie wrote down $20.6 million of inventory, including logo-adorned merchandise, during the year ending January 30, 2016. Some of this inventory dated back to late 2013. The write-down was net of the amount it would be able to recover selling the inventory at a discount. The write-down is significant; Abercrombie's reported net income after this write-down was $35.6 million. Interestingly, Abercrombie excluded the inventory write-down from its non-GAAP income measures presented to investors; GAAP earnings were also included in the same report. Question: From an investor standpoint, do you think that the effect of the inventory write-down should be considered when…arrow_forwardFinancial accountingarrow_forward
