Annual depreciation= $4,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The cost of the machine was $29,000. Its estimated residual value was $9,000 at the end of estimated 5-year life.
<u>To calculate the depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Explanation:
The Outsider's Point of View is also known as The OPPORTUNITY COST APPROACH.
This as you may know, refers to the cost associated with choosing an alternative over others.
In this scenario, the company owns the 5 year old turret lathe so the Opportunity Cost must be the cost of still owning it.
Since this is the case then the first cost of owning the Lathe is simply the Market Value of the Lathe at the moment.
This is $16,000.
$16,000 therefore is the First Cost of keeping the Old Lathe
Answer: 49.02%
Explanation:
The cost of the trade credit will be calculated thus:
Amount when discount is availed will be: = 100-2.7 = 97.3
Discount rate = 2.7
Interest rate per period = 2.7/97.3 2.77%
Number of Days = 30-5 = 25
Therefore, the EAR will be calculated as:
= [(1+2.77%)^(365/25)] - 1
= 49.02%
