Assume that the total cost of a project is $570,000 and that it is fully depreciable using a straight-line method over 6 years.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

So the depreciation in year 1 is $95,000

Explanation:

Depreciation is the accounting method that is used to allocate cost of an asset over its useful life. It is assumed that an asset losses values over a period and the salvage or terminal value is the value of the good after its useful life has ended.

Straight line method of depreciation assumes equal allocation of depreciation expense over the useful life of an asset.

In the given the asset value is $570,000 and the terminal value is $0

Using the formula

Depreciation= (Value of asset- Salvage value)/Number of useful years

Depreciation= (570,000-0)/6

Depreciation= $95,000 paid equally for 6 years

So the depreciation in year 1 is $95,000

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

b. The slope of the budget constraint is the same for each woman.

Explanation:

Budget Line is the combination of two goods that a consumer can buy, given prices & money income (all spent).

Equation : p1x1 + p2x2 = m ;

where p1 & p2 are price of good 1 & 2 , x1 & x2 are quantities of good 1 & good 2 , m = money income  

  • Abby's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 80
  • Bobbi's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 60
  • Deborah's Budget Line : 5I + 8N = 40 [ I = Icecream, N = Novel ]  

Slope of Budget Line represents change (sacrifise) of a good needed to get change (gain) of other good, given same prices & income.

Slope = ΔY/ΔX = Px / Py

Since prices are same for each woman, price ratios & hence the slope of budget line will also be same for all of them.

A decrease in net taxes (select one):
icang [17]

Answer:

C, Raises aggregate expenditure by raising liable income, thereby increasing consumption.

Explanation:

Tax is a very important financial tool of any governmet to ensure its smooth running.

Tax can either be increased or decreased and each of these acts have their effects on the the counrty and on its people. For the purpose of this question, i will be sticking to tax decrease.

Tax decrease as the name implies is the reduction of taxes paid by individuals to the government from their taxable incomes.

When tax is reduced, there is a little more money for the people to spend and as such this affects the demand, consumption (of goods) as well as the gross domestic profit; GDP, of the country.

When the people have more money to spend, there is an increase in things they buy, wear, do, etc and so production in that country becomes high.

Tax decrease is most effective in a situations where there is high level of unemployment and slow paced economies.

cheers.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$88,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount of compensation should Argon report in Logan's Form W-2 for year 2

First step is to determine the bargain element

Bargain Element=$25 per share-$10per share

Bargain Element=$15 per share

Now let determine the amount of compensation

Using this formula

Compensation=Salary earned+Taded stock+(Shares of publicly traded stock*Bargain element)

Let plug in the formula

Compensation=$60,000+$13,000+($100 shares*$15 per share)

Compensation=$60,000+$13,000+$15,000

Compensation=$88,000

Therefore the amount of compensation that Argon should report in Logan's Form W-2 for year 2 $88,000
