Answer:
$18,480
Explanation:
Cost of van = $51,000
Useful life = 5 years
Salvage value = $4,800
Using the straight line, Annual depreciation

Using the Double-declining balance method,
Annual depreciation = 2 × 9,240
= $18,480

Answer:
$4,500
Explanation:
Sales to reach target profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
where,
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales
= ($2,400 - $960) ÷ $2,400

Sales to reach target profit = ($900 + $1,800) ÷ 0.60
= $4,500
Conclusion
You need $4,500 to meet this profit target
