Katena32 [7]

Option D, Both A & C

Explanation:

A company invested $400,000 in a technology that reduced the overall costs of production by reducing their cost per unit from $2 to $1.85 . Later, a manager has an opportunity to outsource production to another company at a cost per unit of $1.75 . If you are the manager, you should consider the $400,000 as a sunk cost, not relevant to the decision and should ignore the $400,000 fixed cost.

Sunk cost is the cost which is already incurred in past and does not have any significance in decision making.

A sunk cost is already incurred in the fields of economy and business decision-making and can not be recovered. Sunk costs are contrasted with future costs, which can be avoided if measures are taken.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a). Partial-year depreciation for 2021 is $4,675

b). Partial-year depreciation for 2022 is $18,700

Explanation:

The final value of the equipment after 10 years=$4,000

Depreciation=Initial purchase value-residual value after 10 years

where;

Initial purchase value=$191,000

Value after 10 years=residual value=$4,000

Replacing;

Depreciation=(191,000-4,000)=187,000

In 10 years the equipment will have depreciated by $187,000

Average depreciation per year=Depreciation/service life

Average depreciation per year=(187,000/10)=$18,700

Partial-year depreciation for;

2021

Service life is from October-December=3 months service life

Partial-year depreciation=(3/12)×18,700=$4,675

Partial-year depreciation for 2021 is $4,675

2022

Service life is for the whole year=12 months service life

Partial-year depreciation=(12/12)×18,700=$18,700

Partial-year depreciation for 2022 is $18,700
