romanna [79]

Answer:

50,490 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units the company should produced is shown below:

= Expected sales units + ending inventory units - opening inventory units

where,

Opening inventory units is 1,350 units

Expected sales units is

= $27,000 + $27,000 × 60%

= $27,000 + $16,200

= 43,200 units

The ending inventory units is

= $43,200 × 20%

= 8,640 units

So, the units to be produced is

= 43,200 units + 8,640 units - 1,350 units

= 50,490 units

On january 1, 2016, knapp corporation acquired machinery at a cost of $1,250,000. knapp adopted the double-declining balance met
Annette [7]
Cost on January 1 2016 = $1,250,000
Life = 10 years

Therefore,
Double-declining depreciation rate = 2*(1,250,000/10)/1,250,000 = 2*0.1 = 2*10% = 20%
Book value at end of 2016 = 1,250,000 - (1,250,000*20/100) = $1,000,000
Book value at end of 2017 = 1,000,000 - (1,000,000*20/100) = $800,000
Book value at end of 2018 = 800,000 - (800,000*20/100) = $640,000

Changing to straight line depreciation:
Life remaining = 7 years
Book value = $640,000

Depreciation expense per year = 640,000/7 = $91,428.57

Therefore, depreciation expense for 2019 = $91,428.57
