Answer:

%variation= 31.58% increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per dozen= $21

Sales in units= 4,250

They are considering reducing their sales price by 24% per dozen.

<u>First, we need to determine the actual total contribution:</u>

Total contribution= 21*4,250= $89,250

<u>Now, with the new selling price, the percentage variation in sales units</u>:

Selling price= 21*0.76= $15.96

89,250= 15.96*units

5,592= units

Percentage:

%variation= [(5,592/4,250) - 1]*100= 31.58%

A building owner is evaluating the following alternatives for leasing space in an office building for the next five years:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lease rent that depends  upon CPI rate and operating expenses has more risk than normal increase in value rent alternatives. Reason being that CPI can be increased or decreased in future and this will affect the builder's cashflow.

Likewise, operating expense is also an increase or decrease because the builder's cashflow can increase or decrease .

The risk level of all the four alternatives is shown below

Net lease with steps- Less risky

Net lease with CPI - Highly risky

Gross lease - Moderately risky

Gross lease with CPI - Highly risky

Mila [183]

Answer:

$200

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is the value given to an asset (and used by the IRS) when you have to determine any capital gain or loss resulting from its sale. It should generally be the original cost of purchasing that asset.

§351 allows corporations to defer taxes from capital gains (or losses) resulting from the transfer of property in exchange for stocks.

Corporation's tax basis = $200

On April 1, 2013, Four Seasons Landscaping, LLC purchased new lawn mowers for $70,000 in cash (total cost). They have a useful l
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000
