netineya [11]

Answer:

a) $9,000

b) $3,000

Explanation:

The calculation of the depreciation expense for each of the following cases

a)

As we know that

= (Purchase cost of machinery - estimated salvage value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($80,000 - $8,000) ÷ (8 years)

= ($72,000) ÷ (8 years)

= $9,000

b) Since the asset purchased as on Sep 1, 2020 so the depreciation expenses would be charged for four months i.e. From September to December.

Also at the same time we assume the books are closed as on Dec 31,2020

Therefore, the depreciation expense is

= $9,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $3,000

Carpenters, Inc., a manufacturing company, acquired equipment on January 1, 2017 for $ 520 comma 000. Estimated useful life o

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $47,618

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $520,000

Useful life= 7 years

Residual value= $20,000

New useful life= 9 years

First, we need to determine the annual depreciation and accumulated depreciation before January 2020.

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (520,000 - 20,000)/7= 71,429

Accumulate depreciation= 71,429*3= $214,287

New annual depreciation:

Book value= 520,000 - 214,287= 305,713

Annual depreciation= (305,713 - 20,000) / 6

Annual depreciation= $47,618

A check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks

aliina [53]

Answer:

A. Forecast for July = 42.

B. Forecast for August = 42.45

C. Because of seasonality in the banking industry.

Explanation:

A. Forecast for July = Forecast for June + Smoothing constant x (Forecasting error)

= 42 + 0.15 (42-42) = 42

B. Forecast for August = Forecast for July + 0.15 (Forecasting error)

= 42 + 0.15 (45-42) = 42.45

C. Because there is a great deal of seasonality in the processing requirements of banking industry, this forecasting method (exponential smoothing) might not be appropriate for this situation.

Sorter Company purchased equipment for $330,000 on January 2, 2019. The equipment has an estimated service life of 8 years and a

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets

= ($330000 - $33000)/8

= $37,125

2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)

= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36

= $66,000

3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%

Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500
