Answer:

The correct answer is c) 300,000

Explanation:

In this question machine hour is limiting factor. So in order to make most lucrative mix we will have to find which product give more contribution per limiting factor. Detail calculations are given below.

Contribution per Limiting factor (machine hour)

Executive = 60/2 = 30 per machine hour

Deluxe = 250/10 = 25 per machine hour

So

It is more profitable to produce executive chair

As demand for chairs are unlimited so company will use all its machine hour to produce executive chairs.

Contribution = 10,000 * 30 = 300,000 dollars.

In terms of the number and dollar volume of transactions, the b2b market is __________ the consumer market.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Larger than

Explanation:

The b2b market which is the business to business market is larger than the consumer market in terms of number and dollar volume of transactions. This is majorly due to the fact that business to business transactions entails wholesaling transactions, while consumer markets entails retailing transactions. Thus, in b2b, the amount of goods bought by a business is usually larger than what is being bought by an individual in the consumer markets. The transactions in b2b markets are much more bigger than the transactions in consumer markets in terms of monetary value.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The question has asked to first create the income statement with the gain/loss on sale of asset and then find for depreciation. However, in order to create the income statement, we require the gain/loss on sale of asset and to do this, we require the depreciation. Hence, the order has been slightly changed but titled easily for your convenience (1. Depreciation 2. Sale of Asset 3. Income statement. Please refer explanation.

Explanation:

1. DEPRECIATION

1.A. Straight-line depreciation:

It is the simplest method of calculating depreciation and believes that the asset's value depreciates equally every year.

Depreciation per year = (Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of useful life years.

Depreciation for Year 1 : (7000 - 500) / 5 = $1300

Depreciation for Year 2: (7000 - 500) / 5 = $1300

Depreciation for Year 3 : (7000 - 500) / 5 = $1300

1. B. Units of Production/ Activity based depreciation:

Activity based depreciation is whereby an asset is depreciated based on the asset’s activity such as the number of hours worked or the number of units produced, during a particular period of time. Activity based depreciation per year is calculated as:

[(Cost - Salvage value) x activity performed during the period] / Total estimated life activity of the asset

Year 1 Depreciation : (7000-500) x (3100 / 13000) = $1550

Year 2 Depreciation : (7000-500) x (2500 / 13000) = $1250

Year 3 Depreciation : (7000-500) x (3400 / 13000) = $1700

1.C. Double-declining balance Method:

This is where the asset's value is depreciated at twice the rate than the straight line method. The depreciation amounts would be higher in the early years of the asset's life and gradually reduce towards the end. Hence, it does not mean that the depreciation amount would be higher than the straight line basis.

Straight Line depreciation per year = 1/5* x 100 = 20%

*as it is useful for five years

Hence double-depreciation value = 20% x 2 = 40%

It is calculated as depreciation rate x book value of asset at the beginning of the period

OR (Cost of Asset - Accumulation Depreciation) x Depreciation rate

Depreciation for Year 1 : 7000 x 40% = $2800

Accumulated Depreciation : $2800

Depreciation for Year 2 : (7000 - 2800) x 40% = $1680

Accumulated Depreciation: $2800 + $1680 = $4480

Depreciation for Year 3 : (7000 - $4480) x 40% = $1008

2. GAIN OR LOSS ON SALE OF ASSET

2.A. Straight-line depreciation :

Accumulated Depreciation at the end of Year 3 : $1300 x 3 = $3900

Cost of asset at the end of Year : $7000 - $3900 = $3100

Asset was sold for $2100 while its net book value was $3100. This means that the asset was sold for LESS than what it was worth and hence is a LOSS on sale of asset.

Gain/Loss on sale of asset : Sale Price - Net book value

Loss on sale : $2100 - $3100= ($1000)

2.B. Units of Production method :

Accumulated depreciation at the end of the Year 3 : $1550 + $1250 + $1700 = $4100

Cost of asset at the end of Year 3 : $7000 - $4500 = $2500

Asset was sold for $2100 while its net book value was $2500. This means that the asset was sold for LESS than what it was worth and hence is a LOSS on sale of asset.

Gain/Loss on sale of asset : Sale Price - Net book value

Loss on sale : $2100 - $2500= ($400)

2.C. Reducing balance method :

Accumulated depreciation at the end of Year 3 : $2800 + $1680 + $1008 = $5488

Cost of asset at the end of Year 3 : $7000 - $5488 = $1512

Asset was sold for $2100 while its net book value was $1512. This means that the asset was sold for MORE than what it was worth and hence is a GAIN/PROFIT on sale of asset.

Gain/Loss on sale of asset : Sale Price - Net book value

Gain on sale : $2100 - $1512= $588

3. INCOME STATEMENT

Income statement with gain/loss on sale of asset using straight line depreciation, units of production method and reducing balance method has been provided in attached tables 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

The Whistling Straits Corporation needs to raise $64 million to finance its expansion into new markets. The company will sell ne
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

<u>Hence $21,700,000 shares are to be sold to raise the needed funds.</u>

Explanation:

Per-share offer price of company = $60, which includes company's underwriter spread of 5%

So, actual realization to company on $60 per share = (1 - 0.95) * 60

Actual realization to company on $60 per share = $ 3

To raise $64 million company also needs to cover administrative expenses of $1.2 million

So,

Total number of shares sold(in million) = (64 + 1.2)/3

Total number of shares sold = 21,700,000 shares
