Answer:

True

Explanation:

When machine is purchased, then the assets increase by the carrying or purchase value of the machine purchased. Here, it is of $1 million.

Further, when it is purchased as against any credit, it creates a liability with the same amount.

Since here also the liability amount = $1 million, it will be recorded with the same.

As there is no involvement of Equity or Retained earnings this do not lay any impact on carrying value of owners equity.

Thus, it is True.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Office Equipment (Debit)                  96,000

Accounts Payable (Credit)                96,000

Explanation:

Buffalo Corporation should have made the above stated entry. As the equipment is supposed to start depreciation from the date of purchase (when the asset is available for use as intended by management). Since the corporation intended to take the discount by paying early within the number of days allowed so upon payment the following entry should be made.

Accounts Payable (Debit)                             96,000

Purchase Discount Income (Credit)                9,600

Cash (Credit)                                                  86,400

In which situation would a certificate of deposit (CD) be the best banking choice
anzhelika [568]

A certificate of deposit (CD) would be the best banking choice when the interest rate is determined ahead of time and there is an assurance to get back what you put in plus interest once the CD matures.  If you leave the money alone during the investment period then the bank will pay you an interest rate slightly higher than what you would have earned in a money market or checking account. Thus, all gains from certificate of deposits are taxable as income unless they are in a tax-deferred (IRA) r tax-free (Roth IRA) account.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $  28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(c) Sum of the years Depreciation for 2021 $ 38,400

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine                                     $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value                       <u>$   18.900</u>

Depreciable Basis                                   $ 144,000

Estimated Life                                             5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800      

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method  Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine                                                         20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020                                                                  780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis      $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616      

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021    

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation                       $ 144,000            

Estimated life of the asset                                                      5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1)                                                  15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance  for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine                                    $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation  2020       <u>$  65,160</u>

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation             <u>$   97,740</u>  

Depreciation @ 40 %                                                 $  39,096

Answer:

Explanation:

A cooperative, business trust or a franchise are generally stable businesses that are formed to operate in the long run.

On the other hand, a joint venture occurs when different entities get together to do business and that can be a one time event only. In this case, Rusty was hired for spraying the fields one time only (one time event).
