Answer:

Polo will report $318,750 as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8

Explanation:

Common stock = $300,000 acquired at 75%

Net income = $40,000

Pay dividends = $10,000

Increase in value of Patent = $50,000    

Economic Life = 10    

Amortization = $5,000    

Therefore, the $ 5000 would be reduced from the net income.

Investments in Polo = $300,000 + [0.75 × (40000 - 10000 - 5000)]

= $300,000+ 0.75(25,000)  

= $300,000+ $18,750    

= $318,750

Given that a<span> factory machine was purchased for $375000 on january 1, 2018. it was estimated that it would have a $75000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. it was also estimated that the machine would be run 40000 hours in the 5 years. the company ran the machine for 4000 actual hours in 2018.

If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2018 would be

\frac{375000-75000}{40000} \times4000= \frac{300000}{10} =\$30,000</span>

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Debit Raw Materials Inventory  with $72,000; Credit Direct materials Cost Variance  with 28,200, and Credit Accounts Payable  with $43,800.

Explanation:

Direct materials purchase on account =  $43,800

Standard cost of direct materials = 12,000 * $6 = $72,000

Direct materials cost variance = $72,000 - $43,800 = $28,200

The journal entries will therefore be as follows:

Accounts Payable                                                        43,800
