On July1, 2018, Morrow Inc. purchased a spooler at a cost of $40,000. The equipment is expected to last five years and have a re

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Depreciation for 2018 = $16,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $24,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $14,400

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Depreciation for 2018 = $12,000

Depreciation for 2019 = $9,600

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 = $28,000

Book value of the spooler at December 31, 2019 = $18,400

Explanation:

(1) the double-declining-balance method

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the double-declining-balance method.

Double-declining-balance method can be described as a depreciation technique in which the rate at which an asset is depreciated is twice depreciation rate for the straight line depreciation method.

The double-declining-balance depreciation rate for Morrow Inc. can therefore be calculated as follows:

Straight line depreciation rate = 1 / Number of expected useful years = 1 / 5 = 0.20, or 20%

Double-declining depreciation rate = Straight line depreciation rate * 2 = 20% * 2 = 40%

The 40% double-declining depreciation rate is what is employed in part 1 of the attached excel file table.

Note:

Although this is not part of the question but it will be useful for you in the future. The depreciation expenses for year 2022 is calculated by deducting the residual value of $4,000 from the 2022 Beginning depreciable amount (i.e. $5,184 - $4,000 = $1,184). The residual value of $4,000 therefore represents the book value at the end of year 2022.

(2) the sum-of-year digits

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the computation of depreciation for 2018 and 2019 and the book value of the spooler at December 31, 2018 and 2019 using the sum-of-year digits method.

The sum-of-year digits method can be described as a depreciation method that accelerates deprecation by assuming that an asset’s productivity falls with the passage of time.

Under the sum-of-year digits method, the remaining useful life of the asset at the beginning of the period is divided by the sum of the year's digits to obtain the deprecation rate for that period.

For this question, the Sum of year digits used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:

SYD = Sum of year digits = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

The unemployment rate in an economy is 7.5 percent. The total population of the economy is 250 million and the size of the civil

Masteriza [31]

The number of employed workers in this economy is A. 13.5 million

Explanation:

The number of unemployed people in the economy means the percentage of people who are actively seeking employment but cannot find a job for sustenance.

Thus, the ones who are seeking a job are the only ones that can be considered here.

So, the total population cannot be considered and the pool that justifies this demographic is the total labor force which is 180 million.

And the number of unemployed people would be calculated by multiplying the percentage of them with the total labor force which would be

7.5 * 180 = 13.5 million people.

Thus 13.5 people in the force are unemployed.

g The Nelson Company has $1,312,500 in current assets and $525,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $385,0

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$262,500

Explanation:

Current ratio = Current asset/Current liabilities

In line with the current ratio formula, to calculate the amount of short term debt increase, with the amount of current assets and current liabilities, we must add an amount such that the result 2.0

(1,312,500 + x) / (525,000 + x) = 2.0

Cross multiply

(1,312,500 + x) = 2.0 × (525,000 + x)

Open the brackets

1,312,500 + x = 1,050,000 + 2x

Collect like terms

1,312,500 - 1,050,000 = 2x - x

262,500 = x

It therefore means that the maximum that should be borrowed to buy inventory is $262,500

What is the difference between marginal values and average values?

tester [92]

What is the difference between marginal values and average values? Marginal values show the additional benefit or cost from consuming an additional unit of a good, while average values are the benefit or cost per unit of a good. When finding the marginal value a marginal analysis is conducted to figure out at what value a person will receive another benefit from making another purchase or consumption of a good or service.

Look at the following data: durable goods = $200 billion; nondurable goods = $350 billion; services = $600 billion; fixed invest

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is $1,701 billion

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the cumulative (total) market value of the final outputs (goods and services) produced within an economy(country) during a given period of time usually a year.

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)

where C - expenditure by households or consumers

I - investments by businesses or firms

G - expenditure from the government

X - exports from the country

M - imports into the country

Total consumers' expenditure is:

durable goods = $200 billion;

nondurable goods = $350 billion; services = $600 billion

Total. $1,150 billion

Total business investment is $200billion

Therefore, GDP is

$1,150 + $200 + $400 + ($30 - $79)

=$1750 - $49

= $1,701 billion
