Answer:

The correct answer is gain recognized option (a).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Equipment cost = $660,000

Accumulated depreciation = $300,000

So, the book value of the equipment = Equipment cost  - Accumulated depreciation

Book value = $660,000 - $300,000 = $360,000

New equipment fair value = $480,000

Cash = $120,000

So, New equipment = $480,000 + $120,000 = $600,000

So, we can calculate the total gain by using following formula:

Total gain = New equipment - Book value

= $600,000 - $360,000

= $240,000

So, gain recognized = Total gain × ( cash ÷ New equipment total)

By putting the value

Gain recognized = $240,000 × ( $120,000 ÷ $600,000)

= $240,000 × 0.2

= $48,000

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Straight-line method

Depreciation expense: $19,800

Book value : $153,600

b. Double-declining-balance method. 

Depreciation expense: $43,350

Book value : $130,050

c. Units-of-production method

Depreciation expense: $23,760

Book value : $149,640

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (cost of asset - residual value) / useful life

($173,400 - $15,000) / 8 = $19,800

The straight line depreciation method allocates the same deprecation expense for each year of the useful life of the asset.

So, deprecation expense in 2009 would be

$19,800.

Book value = Cost of asset - deprecation expense

$173,400 - $19,800 = $153,600

Depreciation expense using the Double declining method = depreciation factor × cost of asset

Deprecation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 x (1/8) = 0.25

0.25 x $173,400 = $43,350

Book value = $173,400 - $43,350 = $130,050

Deprecation expense using the unit of production method = deprecation factor × (cost of asset - Salvage value)

Depreciation factor = Total pages printed in 2009 / total pages that can be printed by the machine

675,000 /4,500,000 = 0.15

0.15 x ($173,400 - $15,000) = $23,760

Book value at the end of 2009 = $173,400 - $23,760 = $149,640

Lincoln, Inc., which uses a volume-based cost system, produces cat condos that sell for $90 each. Direct materials cost $15 per
pogonyaev

Answer:

The gross profit margin for the cat condo is 50%

Explanation:

Since the gross profit per unit is not given, so first we have to find it. The calculation is shown below:

= Selling price per unit - Direct materials cost per unit - direct labor costs per unit - Manufacturing overhead per unit

= $90 per unit - $15 per unit - $10 per unit - $20 per unit ( $10 per unit × 200%)

= $45 per unit

Now apply the Gross profit formula which is shown below:

= (Gross profit per unit ÷ selling price per unit) × 100

= ($45 per unit ÷ $90 per unit) × 100

= 50%
