On January 2, 2015, Alvarez Company purchased an electroplating machine to help manufacture a part for one of its key products.

The machine cost $250,500 and was estimated to have a useful life of six years or 700,000 cuttings, after which it could be sold for $25,500.

Answer:

Straight line for 2015-2020= $37,500 each year

Double Declining 2015 = $83,500, other years are explained

Untis of production 2015= $45,000.2, other years are in the explanation.

Explanation:

The completion of the question is as follows

FOr Units of Production,  (Assume annual production in platings of 140,000; 180,000; 100,000; 110,000; 80,000; and 90,000.)

The question is to determine and compute the depreciation expense for 2015-2020 as follows

a) Straight line method

Formula = Cost of Equipment - The residual value / useful life of the equipment

= $250,500- $25,500 / 6 years

= $37,500

Year 2015 = $37,500

Year 2016 = $37,500

Year 2017 = $37,500

Year 2018 = $37,500

Year 2019 = $37,500

Year 2020 = $37,500

b) Double Declining Balance

Formula = The straight line method rate x 2 x The net book value of the machine

= 1/6 x 2 x $250,500

2015= $83,500

2016 = 1/6 x 2 x $250,500- $83,500 = $55,666.67

following the same process of getting the book value for each year, subtract the depreciation from the book vaule for the next year

2017= 31,111.11

2018= 24,740.74

2019= 16,493..83

2020= 7,487.65

c)The unit of productio method

First we get the unit cost = The Cost of the machine - its salvage value/ the number of cuttings

= $250500-$25500 / 700,000 cuttings = 0.32143

Year 2015 = 0.32143 x 140,000 = 45,000.2

Year 2016 = 0.32143 x 180,000= 57,857.4

Year 2017 = 0.32143 x 100000= 32,413

Year 2018 = 0.32143 x 110,000= 35,357.3

Year 2019 = 0.32143 x 80,000= 25,714.4

Year 2020 = 0.32143 x 90,000= 28,928.7

hram777 [196]

Answer:

15,300

72.70%

Explanation:

After tax cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($20,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $3,000

($28,500 - $5,000 - $3000) x (1 - 0.4) + $3000 = $15,300

Terminal year cash flow = after tax cash flow + salvage value

$15,300 + $5,000 = $20,300

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000.

Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $15,300

Cash flow in year 5 = $20,300

IRR = 72.70%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The material wealth of society is determined by the economy's productive capacity, which is a function of the economy's real assets.

Explanation:

Production capacity or <em>productive capacity</em> is the maximum level of activity that can be achieved with a given productive structure. The study of capacity is essential for business management in that it allows analyzing the degree of use made of each of the resources in the organization and thus have the opportunity to improve them.

<em>Real assets</em> are physical assets that have value due to their substance and properties. Real assets include precious metals, raw materials, real estate, agricultural land, machinery and oil. They are appropriate for inclusion in more diversified portfolios due to their relatively low correlation with financial assets such as stocks and bonds.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The answer is: Democratic management style

Explanation:

This management style is based on the belief that two heads are better than one, and that every employee (no matter position they hold) deserves to have a say.

So managers that follow this style usually encourage their employees to participate and share their ideas and suggestions. They tend to create horizontal organizations, but the final and last decision still belongs to the boss.

Employees usually like this system because they feel they are a valuable and important part of the organization. Many times it leads to higher efficiency and productivity.

As a downside, these organizations tend be more messy (informal) and decision making processes are very time consuming.
