Answer:

a). The journal entries required to record the acquisition of the four cars are as follows:

     i)  credit motor vehicle account with the amount paid to purchase the four cars = $ 36,000

     ii) Credit bank  account with the the amount paid to purchase the four cars = $ 36,000

b). The journal entries required to record the 1st year's depreciation expense :

     i)  Debit the motor vehicle expense account with the amount accruing for the periods expense =$ 10,000 .

     ii) Credit the accumulated depreciation with the same amount = $ 10,000 .

b)   The journal entries required to record the gain on disposal of the motor vehicle is as follows:

    i) Debit the Cash account by amount gained = $ 500 .

    ii) Debit the Accumulated depreciation account by amount = $ 500 .

     iii) Credit the Motor vehicle account by amount = $ 500 .

     iv) Credit the Gain on disposal account by amount = $ 500 .

Explanation:

<u>a).  Determining the depreciation expense</u>

<u>Step 1 </u>

Get the purchase price for all the four cars using the expression below;

Total purchase price=purchase price per car×number of cars purchased

where;

purchase price per car=$9,000

number of cars purchased=4

replacing;

Total purchase price=(9,000×4)=36,000

Total purchase price=$36,000

<u>Step 2 </u>

Determine the salvage value after the useful life as shown;

Salvage value=selling price per car×number of cars

where;

selling price per car=$1,500

number of cars=4

replacing;

Salvage value=(1,500×4)=6,000

Salvage value=$6,000

<u>Step 3 </u>

Determine the depreciation base as shown;

depreciation base=total purchase price-salvage value

where;

total purchase price=$36,000

salvage value=$6,000

replacing;

depreciation base=(36,000-6,000)=$30,000

annual depreciation cost=depreciation base/useful life

annual depreciation cost=30,000/3

annual depreciation cost=$10,000

The first year's depreciation expense=$10,000  

Therefore, expected journal entries are as follows:

    i)  credit motor vehicle account with the amount paid to purchase the four cars = $ 36,000

     ii) Credit bank  account with the the amount paid to purchase the four cars = $ 36,000

b). The journal entries required to record the 1st year's depreciation expense :

     i)  Debit the motor vehicle expense account with the amount accruing for the periods expense =$ 10,000 .

     ii) Credit the accumulated depreciation with the same amount = $ 10,000 .

b)<u>.  Determining whether car was sold at a loss or gain.</u>

Car book Value = Acquisition cost - Accumulated depreciation

Car book Value = 9,000 - 2,500 = $ 6,500

Loss /Gain =  Consideration price( disposal price)  - Acquisition cost

Loss /Gain = $7,000 - $6,500 = $ 500

The company realized a gain of = $ 500

Therefore, expected journal entries are as follows:

i) Debit the Cash account by amount gained = $ 500 .

ii) Debit the Accumulated depreciation account by amount = $ 500 .

iii) Credit the Motor vehicle account by amount = $ 500 .

iv) Credit the Gain on disposal account by amount = $ 500 .

RESTAURANT RESEARCH SCENARIO - Insight Research, a marketing research company, has been hired by a national chain of family rest
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Employees attitude to customers (Customer Relationship) and the quality of the food are the two most important trends that would bring about an increase in sales.

Explanation:

The first instrument of effective sales is an establish relationship. If a customers visits a restaurant to buy food and does not feel welcomed, the tendency to return back another time is very slim. Hnece, taking the scenerio in questions,the employees do not have the right attitude for keepiing their customers loyal to their product irrespective of whether the product is good or bad.

On the other hand, the reason for visiting a restaurant is to eat good food and not bad. So, when the quality of food cooked by the restaurant does not meet the taste and quality expected by the customer, the possibility of having such customer come around again is low. This invariably implies loosing the customer and the chain of connections such customer would have brought to the restaurant.

In summary, having the right employees with good customer relationship and chefs with good food recipes and quality is likely to result in the restaurant experiencing an increase in sales
