kap26 [50]

Answer:

Yo.Down Inc.

Determination of Support Department 1 costs to be allocated to each production department:

Production Production Production

Department 1 Department 2 Department 3

Support Department 1 $96,000 $6,000 $18,000

Explanation:

a) Cost allocation of Support Department 1:

1) Rate of allocation = Total Support Department 1's costs divided by the total of the cost drivers

= $120,000/2000 = $60 per cost driver

2) Production Department 1 = $60 x 1,600 = $96,000

Production Department 2 = $60 x 100 = $6,000

Production Department 3 = $60 x 300 = $18,000

3) The direct method is one of the three methods for allocating support or service department costs to the production departments in order to ensure the full inclusion of overhead costs in the production costs. As the name goes, the costs of service departments are allocated to only production departments individually. This method is not like the step method of cost allocation where the costs of service departments are allocated to other service departments, starting with the department with the highest costs, followed by the next, until all the costs of service departments are allocated to production. However, no service department whose total costs have been allocated will be allocated any costs. The last method of cost allocation is the reciprocal method, which is a more complicated method that produces more accurate results, by using equations to establish relationships between the departments.

Depreciation Methods Vorst Corporation's schedule of depreciable assets at December 31, 2016, was as follows: Asset Cost Accumul

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c. $14,400

Explanation:

Double declining depreciation method can be described as an accelerated depreciation technique which charges depreciation expense faster than the straight-line depreciation method, because double declining method obtains its depreciation rate by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the Vorst Corporation's schedule of appreciable assets at December 31, 2016, the following data are obtained for Asset A:

Cost = $100,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $64,000

Acquisition Date = 2015

Residual value = $20,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 0.20, or 20%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 40%

Beginning book value in 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $100,000 - $64,000 = $36,000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Beginning book value in 2017 * Double declining depreciation rate = $36,000 * 40% = $14,400.

Therefore, Vorst should record $14,400 as depreciation expenses in 2017 for Asset A.

Important End Note:

Under the double declining depreciation method, residual is adjusted for in the last year of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Based on the information for Asset A, its last useful year is 2019 and that is why the residual value is not adjusted for in 2017 above.

The likelihood of Company A's stock price rising is 20%, and the likelihood of Company B's stock price rising is 30%. Assume tha

Volgvan

Answer: 44%

Explanation:

In probability, Independent event is simply an event that doesn't have anything to do with the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event.

From the question, we are informed that likelihood of Company A's stock price rising is 20%, and the likelihood of Company B's stock price rising is 30% and they are both independent.

Therefore, the probability that the stock price of at least one of the companies will rise goes thus:

P(at least one will rise) will be:

= 1 - P(both fall)

= 1 - [(1-0.20) × (1-0.30)]

= 1- (0.8 × 0.7)

= 1 - 0.56

= 0.44

= 44%
