For most businesses, annual straight line depreciation expense on the company's building is fixed cost.

A fixed cost is one that does not change no matter how many units of a good or service are produced or sold. Fixed costs are expenses a company must pay regardless of the specific economic operations it does. As a result, fixed expenses are often indirect because they have nothing to do with how a firm produces any goods or services. Both fixed expenses and variable costs, which together make up a company's total costs, are common. It's common practice to reduce fixed expenses by using shutdown points.

Answer:

BetaCo
BetaCo

Explanation:

BetaCo raised the salaries of everyone in the company meaning that even those who were not getting paid so much saw their salaries increase. Employees here will feel more appreciated as a result of this financial incentive as opposed to AlphaCo that neglected to cater for all its employees in an equal manner.

BetaCo will outperform AlphaCo over the next year all else equal because motivated employees tend to work harder for a company. In addition, BetaCo increased the salaries of key staff by more than 5%. Those key staff will work harder as a result of this incentive and push the company further than AlphaCo.

Dr depreciation expense $5720

Cr Accumulated depreciation $5720

Journal entries for 2018 expenditure

Dr Equipment account $11850

Cr Cash account $14750

2018 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense $4800.83

Cr Accumulated depreciation $4800.83

Explanation:

There are two policies for depreciating non-current asset especially when it is acquired part-way through the year like we have here, namely full year depreciation in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal or proportional depreciation throughout the useful life,I am adopting the former in this question.

Formula for depreciation=cost-residual value/useful life

Yearly depreciation is ($57200-$0)/10=$5720

However,after two years the book value is calculated thus:

Book value=$57200-($5720*2)=$45760

additional cost incurred in enhancing the capacity of the asset would be added : $45760 +$11,850=$57610

Since the useful life has also been reviewed up to 12 years, the depreciation from now on is $57610/12=$4800.83

Spence wants to have $176,000 in 7 years. He plans to make regular savings contributions of $13,100 per year for 7 years, with t

Contact [7]

Answer:

$11,098.94

Explanation:

first we must calculate the future value of the 7 year annuity:

FV of an annuity = p x {[(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r}

p = $13,100
r = 17.18%
n = 7

FV of an annuity = $13,100 x {(1.1718⁷ - 1) / 0.1718} = $13,100 x 11.8377 = $155,073.56

since he wants to have $176,000, he needs $20,926.44 more in 7 years (= $176,000 - $155,073.56)

X = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ

future value =
n = 4 years
r = 17.18%

X = $20,926.44 / 1.1718⁴ = $11,098.94

Answer:

a. $25

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of deadweight loss of the tax is shown below:-

Deadweight Loss = 1 ÷ 2 × 1 × ($350 - $300) = 1 ÷ 2 × ($50)

Or, Deadweight Loss = 1 ÷ 2 × ($50)

Or, Deadweight Loss = $25
