Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of equipment = $50,000

Expected useful life = 5 years

Estimated residual value = $4,000

Depreciation refers to the fall in the value of fixed assets with the passage of time.

Here, we are using double-declining-balance depreciation method,

Firstly, we are calculating the straight line depreciation rate as follows:

= (100% ÷ useful life)

= (100% ÷ 5)

= 20%

So, the double-declining depreciation rate is calculated by multiplying the straight line depreciation rate by 2. It is calculated as follows:

= 2 × straight line depreciation rate

= 2 × 20%

= 40%

First year depreciation is calculated as follows:

= Double-declining depreciation rate × Cost of equipment

= 40% × $50,000

= $20,000

Therefore, the amount of depreciation expense for the second year is calculated as follows:

= Double-declining depreciation rate × (Cost of equipment - First year depreciation)

= 40% × ($50,000 - $20,000)

= 0.4 × $30,000

= $12,000

Describe at least three exchange rate factors that are likely to attract foreign investors to a country's currency. Explain why
lana66690 [7]

Answer: 1. High Interest

2. Low Government Debt

3. Political Stability

Explanation:

Foreign Investors are Investors and investors always like to invest where there are prospects of growth and profit.

High Interest Rates give them the opportunity to invest their money in a currency that will give them a great return because a country where there are high interest rates imparts this on its currency which causes it to rise in value thereby giving currency holders a capital gain.

Another factor is Government Debt. A country with high Government debt will typically be unable to raise funds through the bond market easily. This shortage of funds can lead to inflation which devalues currency causing foreign currency investors to flee.

Finally there is the Political Factor (other factors exist). A stable country politically stands a better chance of maintaining a higher value currency that one with lower political stability. This is because political Stability attracts investors and as more investments come into a country, this reflects in its currency by making it stronger which will attract foreign currency investors.

Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $75,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (U
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Given that,

Taxable income = $75,000

Interest from an investment = $10,000

Using the U.S tax rate schedule in 2017

(a) Federal tax will he owe = $5,226.25 + 25% × ($75,000 - $37,950)

                                            = $5,226.25 +  $9262.5

                                            = $14,488.75

(b) Average\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Taxable\ Income}

    Average\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{14,488.75}{75,000}

                                             = 19.32%.

(c)Effective\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Total\ Income}

Effective\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{14,488.75}{75,000 + 10,000}

                                        = 17.05%          

(d) Chuck is currently in the 25 percent tax rate bracket.

His marginal tax rate on increases in income up to $16,900 and deductions from income up to $37,050 is 25 percent.

The demand for wooden pencils is very responsive to a change in price. That is, the demand for these pencils is highly elastic.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

D. Price will rise, quantity purchased will fall, and gross revenues will fall.

Explanation:

It will lead to a higher price of the good as the management has to take into consideration the amount to wages to be paid to the workers, thus increasing the price of the goods. This will result to a lower demand at a higher price  because the price increases and competitions will take advantage of the situation and that will also reduce the revenue of the firm.
