<u>Answer: </u>Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is no acceptance and no contract in this case. Mina Loy's written offer letter states clearly that the acceptance has to be made through first class mail. The terms of the offer were not fulfilled by Carl Van Vechten as he did not perform the acceptance as per the condition mentioned in the offer.

As there is no valid contract the parties to the contract that is Mina Loy and Carl Vechten are not obliged to perform their obligations as promised.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

D. $6,000

Explanation:

The book value of a new asset includes the purchase price and other related costs that make it ready for use. For Woodstock company, the book value of the new machine will be the buying price of 40,000 plus 1000 transport costs.

Book value = $41,000

The straight-line depreciation method charges equal amounts throughout the life of the asset.

The depreciable amount = asset value - salvage value

=$41,000 - $5000

=$36,000

The depreciation rate = 1/6 x 100

=16.66 %

Annual depreciation = 16.66% x $36,000

=16.66/100 x $36,000

=0.16667 x $36,000

=$6,000
