Answer:

3) Corporations use acquisition as a substitute for innovation.

Explanation:

The fastest way in which a corporation can enter a new market or develop new products is through buying existing companies that already operate in the new target markets or have developed the new products that the corporation wishes to sell.

Research and development is very costly and time consuming, and on many occasions the results aren't even good or are not as good as expected. By acquiring a smaller company that has already developed the product, then the corporation might even save money.

NeTakaya

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.

Cr Accumulated depreciation $5720

2017 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense $5720

Cr Accumulated depreciation $5720

Journal entries for 2018 expenditure

Dr repairs and maintenance $2900

Dr Equipment account $11850

Cr Cash account $14750

2018 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense $4800.83

Cr Accumulated depreciation $4800.83

Explanation:

There are two policies for depreciating non-current asset especially when it is acquired part-way through the year like we have here, namely full year depreciation in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal or proportional depreciation throughout the useful life,I am adopting the former in this question.

Formula for depreciation=cost-residual value/useful life

Yearly depreciation is ($57200-$0)/10=$5720

However,after two years the book value is calculated thus:

Book value=$57200-($5720*2)=$45760

additional cost incurred in enhancing the capacity of the asset would be added : $45760 +$11,850=$57610

Since the useful life has also been reviewed up to 12 years, the depreciation from now on is $57610/12=$4800.83

Answer:

To reach maximum depreciation expense we simply first compute the depreciation which is shown below:-

Depreciation = Purchased computer × Depreciation Rate

= $30,000 × 11.52%

= $3,456

Refer to the MACRS Table 1

Maximum depreciation expense = Depreciation × Half year convention

= $3,456 × 50%

On May 1, 2021, Cedar Corp. paid $432,000 for rent on warehouse space one year in advance. On November 1, 2021, Cedar Corp. ente

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: $324,000

Explanation:

Cedar Corp. paid $432,000 for a year in advance. According to the Accrual principle in Accounting, expenses are to be recorded only when incurred.

The rent will therefore have to be apportioned to the months that it has paid for in the current period.

Rent for year = $432,000

Rent for month = 432,000/12 = $36,000

April - December = 9 months

Rent for the year = 9 * 36,000

= $324,000

Note; <em>Question is about Rent expense which is how much Cedar Corp has paid not about how much they have received. </em>
