Answer:

Net Income Calculation for 2021

                                                Company A       Company B       Company C

Revenue                                    $53,000             $53,000             $53,000

Less Depreciation Expense     ($15,000)             ($0.00)              ($16,800)

Net Income / (Loss)                   $38,000             $53,000             $36,200

Explanation:

Company A

Depreciation Expense (Straight line) : (Cost - Salvage Value) / Number of Useful Life

2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) / 4

        = $15,000

Company B

Depreciation Expense (Double Declining Balance) : 2 × SLDP × BVSLD

SLDP = 100/ 4

         = 25%

2018 = 2 × 25% × $62,000

        = $ 31,000

2019 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000)

        = $ 15,500

2020 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 )

        = $ 7,750

2021 = 2 × 25% × ($62,000 - $ 31,000 - $ 15,500 - $ 7,750 )

        = 0

In 2021 depreciation will only be allowed where:

Book Value = Salvage Value

<em>Test to see if Book Value has fallen below Salvage Value :</em>

Cost                                                 $62,000

Less Accumulated depreciation    $54,250

Book Value                                      $ 7,750

Company C

Depreciation Expense (units-of-production) : (Cost - Salvage Value) × Period`s Production / Total Expected Production

2021 = ($62,000-$2,000) × 70,000/  250,000

        = $16,800

Net Income Calculation for 2021

                                                Company A       Company B       Company C

Revenue                                    $53,000             $53,000             $53,000

Less Depreciation Expense     ($15,000)             ($0.00)              ($16,800)

Net Income / (Loss)                   $38,000             $53,000             $36,200

Answer:

b. $524.94

Explanation:

We need to solve for the PTM of a 6 year annuity with quarterly payment discount for 6.25% compounding quarterly as well:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PTM\\

PV $10,438.8800

time 24 (6 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.015625 8 ( 0.0625 / 4 )

The payment every quarter will be for:

10438.88 \div \frac{1-(1+0.015625)^{-24} }{0.015625} = PTM\\

PTM  $ 524.942
