Straight line depreciation (D) is computed as follows:

D= (purchase cost of an asset- its expected salvage value)/ the number of years of its expected useful life.

In the case of the old machine sold by Nicklaus Company, depreciation (D) in dollars is:

D = (160,000-0)/10

D= 160,000/10

D= 16,000 per year

Since the machine was bought on June 30, 2003, and was sold on January 1, 2009, its total depreciation value (TD) for the 6 and half years that it was used is:

TD = 16,000 x 6.5

TD= 104,000

Cost of the asset on time of sale, therefore, is 160,000-104,000=56,000

<span>Since the company sold it at only $52,000, recorded loss will be $4,000 (56,000-52,000). </span>

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Three things:

-Under processing before canning

-Spoilage before canning

-entrance of water through can seams during cooling

Explanation:

The preservation process is aimed at reducing the rate of spoilage of food products over time.

When adequately processed a time can be given during which the food product is still not spoilt. For example 1 year from date of canning. After this period there is a high possibility of food spoilage.

If a can of peas was bought from a grocery and it is spoilt it is either the peas were not well processed, there was spoilage before commercial canning, or water entered when cooling during canning
