hjlf

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Finerly should recognize $0 of revenue upon delivery to distributors. Because of the uncertainty of the returns due to the fact that Finerly does not know if it will have to accept the cosmetics back from the distributors if the cosmetics are not sold, Finerly cannot or should not recognize revenue until it either can estimate in a better way its returns or when the sales actually occur.

On January 1, Year 1, Raven Limo Service, Inc. paid $64,000 cash to purchase a limousine. The limo was expected to have a six ye
MAXImum [283]

Assuming Raven uses straight-line depreciation, the Company would recognize a $2,000 gain.

<h3>What is straight-line depreciation?</h3>

The simplest way to determine depreciation over time is through straight-line depreciation. According to this strategy, an asset's value is reduced by the same amount for each year that it is in use.

<h3>Depreciation formula:</h3>

(Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life.

The given data is -

The cost of asses is given as $64,000.

The salvage value is given as $10,000.

The sole price is $30,000.

Calculation for the depreciation-

Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost - $10,000 Salvage) ÷ (6               Year life)

Depreciation expense per year = $9,000

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = ($9,000 per year) × (4 years)

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = $36,000.

Book value = $64,000 Cost - $36,000 Accumulated depreciation

                    = $28,000

Gain on sale = $30,000 Sales price - $28,000 Book value

                     = $2,000)

Therefore, the gain on the scale is  $2,000.
