Waterway Corporation purchased a new machine for its assembly process on August 1, 2020. The cost of this machine was $162,900.

The company estimated that the machine would have a salvage value of $18,900 at the end of its service life. Its life is estimated at 5 years, and its working hours are estimated at 20,000 hours. Year-end is December 31.
Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods. Each of the following should be considered unrelated. (Round depreciation rate per hour to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.35 for computational purposes. Round your answers to O decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)
(a) Straight-line depreciation for 2020
(b) Activity method for 2020, assuming that machine usage was 780 hours
(c) Sum-of-the-years'-digits for 2021
(d) Double-declining-balance for 2021

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $  28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(c) Sum of the years Depreciation for 2021 $ 38,400

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine                                     $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value                       <u>$   18.900</u>

Depreciable Basis                                   $ 144,000

Estimated Life                                             5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800      

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method  Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine                                                         20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020                                                                  780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis      $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616      

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021    

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000            

Estimated life of the asset                                                      5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1)                                                  15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance  for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine                                    $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation  2020       <u>$  65,160</u>

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation             <u>$   97,740</u>  

Depreciation @ 40 %                                                 $  39,096

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The postponement of a project until conditions are more favorable:

III. could cause a negative net present value project to become a positive net present value project.

Explanation:

With the favorable project conditions, the negative NPV will be revised to a positive NPV because the positive conditions will ensure the generation of positive cash inflows.  The result is that the project will be assessed as acceptable since the net present value will become positive.  Generally, favorable project conditions create outcomes that are positive for the cash flows, thereby generating more positive cash inflows and reducing the impact of cash outflows.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

sell 1.714

Explanation:

The computation of the number of contract buy or sold to hedge the position is shown below:

As we know that

Number of contracts = Hedge Ratio    

Hedge Ratio = Change in Portfolio Value ÷ Profit on one future contract

where,

Change in the value of the portfolio is

For that we need to do following calculations

Expected Drop in Index is

= (1200 - 1400) ÷ 1400    

= -14.29%    

And, Expected Loss on the portfolio is

= Beta × Expected index drop

= 0.60 × (-14.29%)    

= -8.57%    

So, the change is

= 1000000 × (-8.57%)

= -$85,700  

And, the profit is

= 200 × 250 multiplier

= 50,000

So, the hedging position is

= -$85,700 ÷ 50,000      

= -1.714  

This reflects the selling position
