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

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

[C] Strike price minus the premium

Explanation:

A put buyer refers to the one who purchases a right (and not the obligation) to sell(put) the underlying asset at a pre determined strike price/exercise price at a future date.

A put buyer is under no obligation to exercise his right of selling the underlying asset. He will exercise his right only when his strike price is greater than the current market price upon expiry of the contract.

Put Buyer's profit is expressed as;

= Strike price -  Option premium paid - Current market price upon expiry

Thus, his NET sales proceeds are equal to his Strike Price as reduced by Option premium paid.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

No, there is no contract between the two parties because of withdrawal of offer (Revocation) before the acceptance of the other party.

Explanation:

When one party offers another party and after some time the offer maker withdraws the offer by communicating that they had revoked then the offer is no more available to the other party and is often termed as Revocation. So when the offer maker revokes before the acceptance of the offer by the other party then their is no offer at consideration to the other party, which means if there is no offer then their can not be an acceptance of an offer and of course when there is no acceptance then there is no contract.

The communication of revocation was held before the acceptance of the offer of the other party which agains says that the contract was not actually formed.
