The obstacle to defining the research problem was that the company failed  in collecting quantitative data /Selection of inappropriate respondent resulted in wrong output.

Explanation:

A research design is a blue print that a company prepares for conducting  marketing research .

A firm collects quantitative data by conducting surveys and asking the customers or consumers to fill the forms (questionnaires).These surveys and questionnaires helps the company in making product related decision in various markets.(i.e how to customize the product as per the taste and the preferences of the consumers)

<u>The obstacle to defining the research problem was that the company failed  in collecting quantitative data /Selection of inappropriate respondent resulted in wrong output.Hence the company Refrez Inc failed to acknowledge the fact that people in the United States eat cereal with cold milk, whereas the people of China eat cereal with hot milk.</u>

As a result, Refrez Inc witnessed a decline in sales of its product in Chinese market .

Waterway Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on August 1, 2020. The cost of this machine was $162,900.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $  28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(c) Sum of the years Depreciation for 2021 $ 38,400

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine                                     $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value                       <u>$   18.900</u>

Depreciable Basis                                   $ 144,000

Estimated Life                                             5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800      

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method  Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine                                                         20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020                                                                  780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis      $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616      

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021    

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000            

Estimated life of the asset                                                      5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1)                                                  15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance  for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine                                    $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation  2020       <u>$  65,160</u>

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation             <u>$   97,740</u>  

Depreciation @ 40 %                                                 $  39,096
