Answer:

d. Straight-line.

Explanation:

Depreciation: Depreciation is an expense indicating a reduction in the value of fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolescence, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the income statement debit line. It is a non-cash item not impacting the cash balance.

In the straight-line method, the depreciation expense would be lowest in this method and it remains the same for the remaining useful life

In the double-declining method, the depreciation rate is doubled and contain the highest value

In the sum of the year digit, we sum the useful life like 5 years so we sum 5+4+3+2+1 = 15 years and divide it to the useful life i.e 5

In the composite or group, the depreciation is taken for the group, not for the individual company

CC equivalent units 180,000

DIrect Materials

Coplete and transferred-out 170,000

Ending Inventory 40,000x100% = 40,000

Interest-on-Interest Consider a $1,500 deposit earning 4 percent interest per year for 7 years. How much total interest is earne

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Interest earned  = $420

Explanation:

The total worth of the investment after the the investment period compounded at certain rate is called the Future Value.

Future Value= Principal + compounded interest i.e

FV = P × (1+r)^n

r- rate, FV- future value , n- period

FV = ? , P -1,500, r- 4%, n-7 years

FV = 1,500 ×1.04^(7)

FV = 1973.897669

Interest earned (compound intrest) = FV - Principal amount

= 1973.897669 - 1,500

= $473.89

Without interest earning interest.

The amount of interest earned will be computed on the principal only

Interest earned = $1,500× 4%× 7

= $420

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Future value (FV) = $57,908

Present value (PV) = $8,860

Number of years (n) = 18 years

Interest rate = ?

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$57,908 = $8,860(1 + r)18

$57,908 = (1 + r)18

$8,860

6.535891648 = (1 + r)18

18√6.535891648 = 1 + r

1.10993 - 1 = r

r = 0.10992 = 10.99%

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the future value of a lump sum (single investment) formula. The present value, future value and number of years are given with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate is made the subject of the formula.
