Leokris [45]

Answer:

1. Equity is the difference between the company's assets and liabilities.

2. D. $83

Explanation:

Req. A

We know,

The accounting equation is

Total asset = total liabilities + total stockholders' equity

Therefore, total asset - total liabilities = total stockholders' equity

So, we can say that equity is the difference between the company's assets and liabilities. However, equity cannot be claimed before the liabilities. Therefore, the option "A" is the correct answer.

Req. B

                          Now Inc.

      Statement of retained earnings

For the year ended, December 31, 20XX

Beginning retained earnings (Last year)                $527

Less: Dividend (Balancing)                                   <u>     </u><u>(83)</u>

Ending retained earning (Current year)                 $620

Calculation: $(527 + 176 - 620) = $83

Therefore, the option "D" is the correct answer.

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,250,000 and can be sold for $
MissTica

Answer: $615,810‬

Explanation:

The Book Value of the Asset at the end of 4 years will be;

= Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation

= 3,250,000 - ( 3,250,000 * ( 20% + 32% + 19.20% + 11.52%))

= 3,250,000 - 2,688,400

= $561,600

The Equipment will be sold at $645,000 meaning a gain is made

= 645,000 - 561,600

= $83,400

Tax to be paid is;

= 83,400 * 0.35

= $29,190

After-tax salvage value of the equipment = Sales Price - Tax

= 645,000 - 29,190

= $615,810‬
