Explanation of Solution

HO-3 is a homeowner’s insurance in which the coverage included are,

  • Part A is related with dwelling and based on structure replacement value. It is minimum $20,000.
  • Part B is related with other structures and provides coverage up to 10% of insurance on house.
  • Part C is related with personal property and provides coverage up to 50% of insurance on house.
  • Part D is related with loss of use and provides coverage up to 20% of insurance on house.
  • Part E is related with personal liability and provides coverage up to $100,000.
  • Part F is related with medical payments to others and provides coverage up to $1000 per person.

As J insures her home with HO-3 policy for 100% of its replacement value of $140,000, the calculation of maximum dollar coverage for part B is,

Amount For Part B=Insured Amount of Home×10%

Substitute $140,000 for insured amount of home in the above formula.

Amount For Part B=$140,000×10%=$14,000

The maximum coverage under part B is $14,000.

Calculation of maximum dollar coverage for part C is,

Amount For Part C=Insured Amount of Home×50%

Substitute $140,000 for insured amount of home in the above formula.

Amount For Part C=$140,000×50%=$70,000

The maximum coverage under part C is $70,000.

Calculation of maximum dollar coverage for part D is,

Amount For Part D=Insured Amount of Home×20%

Substitute $140,000 for insured amount of home in the above formula.

Amount For Part D=$140,000×20%=$28,000

The maximum coverage under part D is $28,000.

Conclusion

Thus, the maximum dollar coverage amounts for parts B, C, and D of J homeowner’s policy are $14,000, $70,000 and $28,000 respectively.

The Everly Equipment Company's flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $75,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $7,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $130,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital…

New-Project Analysis The president of your company, MorChuck Enterprises, has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm's R&D department. The equipment's basic price is $64,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $28,400. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445 and 0.1481. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $3,000. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $24,760 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%. Cash outflows and negative NPV value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest…
