Answer:

Alliance should record a loss of $5000.

Explanation:

Depreciation : The depreciation is the amount which is charged every year. It is a decrease value in the asset due to obsolescence, tear and wear value, usage of time, etc.

There are many methods for calculation the depreciation such as straight line method (SLM), Written down value method (WDV) and many more.

In the question, the straight line method is used.

In straight line method, the deprecation is charged with same value over the useful life of asset.

So, the calculation of depreciation is given below:

Since,

The purchase amount of equipment = $120,000

Useful life  = 4 years

Salvage value = 0

Sale value at the end of the third year = $25,000 cash.

By using above information, we have to calculate the depreciation for 3 years as in the end of the 3 year, the asset is sold.

Depreciation Formula for SLM method  = (Purchase cost- Salvage value) ÷ useful life

=  ($120,000 - 0) ÷ 4

= $30,000

So, the amount of depreciation for all year is $30,000

Depreciation for 1 year = $120,000 - $30,000 = $90,000

Depreciation for 2nd year = $90,000 - $30,000 = $60,000

Depreciation for 3rd year = $60,000 - $30,000 - $25,000 = -$5000

In the 3rd year, the alliance have a loss of $5000 after selling asset.

Hence, Alliance should record a loss of $5000.

Masja [62]

Answer:

Trusper Company

The total amount of dividends that will be paid to common stockholders during Year 2 is:

$40,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

10% cumulative preferred stock = $200,000 ($200 * 1,000)

Common stock = $3,000 (3,000 * $1)

Dividends in Year 1 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $20,000 ($200,000 * 10%)

Dividends outstanding after Year 1 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $15,000 ($20,000 - $5,000)

Dividends for Year 2 for cumulative preferred stockholders = $35,000 ($20,000 + $15,000).

Total dividend paid to common stockholders during Year 2 = $40,000 ($75,000 - $35,000)

b) The unpaid cumulative preferred stock dividend of $15,000 for Year 1 will be added to the dividend of the Year 2.  The common stockholders are not paid any dividends in Year 1.  But in Year 2, they will get $40,000 after the cumulative preferred stock dividends are paid.
