Answer:

a. Increase

Explanation:

The price earnings ratio is calculated by dividing the market value per share by the earning per share. This means that the price of the share is in the numerator and the earnings per share is in the denominator. If the denominator increases the ratio will decrease and if the numerator increases the ratio will increase. In this case the price of the stock which is the numerator increases from 15 to 18 whereas the earnings which is the denominator remains the same, this means that the price earnings ratio will increase. We can see this example numerically

We know the price of the stock was $15, lets assume the earnings were $1. So before the price change the earnings per share ratio would be 15/1= 15.

When price increases to $18 and earnings remain the same the new price earnings ratio will be 18/1=18. This proves that when earnings are constant and price per share increases the price earning ratio increases.

gain on disposal                        2,040

truck                                          24,100

to record sale of a truck

Explanation:

<u>Computer:</u>

35,600 / 4 = 8,900 depreciation per year

depreciation for 2017

january to june 30th --> half a year so half depreciation

8,900 / 2 = 4,450

then we do the sale of the computer

acc depreciation

from jan 1st 2015 to june 30th 2017

2 and a half year

8,900 + 8,900 + 4,450 =  $22,250.00

book value 35,600 - 22,250  = 13,350

proceeds                                     4,700

loss on disposal                          9,250

<u>truck</u>

Acquisition Value 24100

Salvage Value 3300

ammount subject to depreciation 20800

Useful Life 5

depreciation per year 4160

We need to do the entry for the depreication for the year.

Then we calcualte the gain/loss on disposal

accumualted from jan 2014 to dec 31th 2017

4 years

4,160 x 4 = 16,640

book value 24.100 - 16,640 = 7,460

proceeds                                9,500

gain on disposal                      2040

svet-max [94.6K]

The manufacturing facility is impaired when the book value exceeds the total of estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

The manufacturing facility has an impairment loss of 15 million dollars because its book value exceeds undiscounted future cash flows.

<h3>When fair value exceeds book value, what happens?</h3>

An asset's value is "impaired" if its book value is higher than its fair value. Additionally, you are required to include the impairment loss in your income from continuing operations. The impaired asset's carrying value on your balance sheet is also affected by impairment losses.

<h3>How is an asset's impairment determined?</h3>

Resources are viewed as weakened when the book worth, or net conveying esteem, surpasses expected future incomes. The impairment must be reflected in the financial statements if it is permanent.
