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

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

$0.26

Explanation:

diluted earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average outstanding shares + diluted shares)

net income = $330,000

preferred dividends = 2,000 x $500 x 8% = $80,000. Since the preferred stocks are convertible, they will be considered diluted shares. Therefore, no preferred dividends will be included in the calculation.

weighted average outstanding shares:

January 1 = 700,000 x 12/12 = 700,000
March 1 = 200,000 x 10/12 = 166,666.7
total weighted average = 866,666.7

diluted shares = 2,000 preferred stocks x 200 = 400,000

diluted EPS = $330,000 / (866,666.7 + 400,000) = $0.260526247 ≈ $0.26
