Stealth bank has deposits of $300 million. it holds reserves of $20 million and has purchased government bonds worth $300 millio

ryzh [129]

First let us identify if the asset is a gain or loss. An asset is a gain if it contributes to the banks overall finance while it is a loss if it is a cost directly or indirectly.

Deposits of $300 million = Gain (+)

Reserves of $20 million = Gain (+)

Purchased government bonds worth $300 million = Loss (-) ---> This entails cost

Selling bank’s loans at current market value of $600 million = Gain (+)

Therefore adding up everything to get the banks net worth:

Stealth banks net worth = $300 M + $20 M - $300 M + $600 M

Stealth banks net worth = $620 million

guapka [62]

Answer:

For the year 2022 , $2,515

For the year 2023, $10,060

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for the years 2022 and 2023 for the new machine purchased by Crane company.

We employ a mathematical approach in tackling this.

Mathematically;

Straight line depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/ number of years useful

From the question we can identify the following;

Cost of purchase= $89,920

Salvage value = $9,440

Number of years useful = 8 years

Plugging this to get the straight line depreciation, we have;

(89,920-9,440)/8 = 80,480/8 = 10,060

For the year 2022, we have ; 3 months window since, machine was purchased October and we are assuming year end December 31st

Thus, straight line depreciation for year 2022 = 3/12 * 10,060 = $2,515

For 2023, straight line depreciation = 10,060( since we have a full year)
