Answer: b. neither the earnings nor the dividends of the investee.

Explanation:

When the cost method is used to account for a stock investment, it means that in the books, the stock is to be recorded at the price it was purchased for.

This means that even if earnings and dividends accrue on the stock, it is not to change in value but should stay being recorded at the price it cost to acquire.

sattari [20]

Answer:I did the calculations and i believe i got it right.

Explanation:

Mercury sold 500 tickets at $40 a piece, okay, still with me, good. Yet, only 450 tickets were used during the month. What that mean is to minus 50 tickets. 50 multiplied by $40 is $2000. 500 multiplied by $40 equals to $20000. $20000 minus $2000 is equaled to $18000. They also had a Unearned Revenue account that had a credit balance of $5000. So, that means they should be in "debt." They should have $-15000. Add $2000, it is equaled to $-13000. So it should be $-13000. If wrong, i'm sorry.

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

2013: 

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

2014: 

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation)

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

2015: 

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

2013:

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

2014: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

2015: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

Assume that eggs and cereals are substitute products for breakfast. If a disease kills a large number of chickens, what will hap

larisa [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": the quantity demanded of cereal will increase.

Explanation:

According to the demand theory, as long as the quantity demanded increases, the price would decrease (the demand curve shifts to the right). The quantity demanded decreases when the price would increase (the demand curve shifts to the left).

In the example, as eggs and cereals are substitute products, if a disease kills a large number of chickens there will be fewer eggs supply in the market. Consumers will start looking for substitutes. Then, the quantity demanded for cereal will increase moving the demand curve to the right.
