Answer and Explanation:
The computation of two different depreciation schedules is shown below:-
a. Using the Double-declining balance method
Year Equipment Cost Depreciation rate Amount
2005 $90,000 50% $45,000
2006 $45,000 50% $22,500
2007 $22,500 50% $11,250
2008 No depreciation as it is lower that straight line method that is $22,500 also we took the double rate of 25% so we consider 50%
b. Using the straight line method
Straight Line Depreciation Method:
$100,000 - $10,000
= $90,000
Year Equipment Cost Depreciation rate Amount
2005 $90,000 25% $22,500
2006 $90,000 25% $22,500
2007 $90,000 25% $22,500
2008 $90,000 25% $22,500
Depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 4 years
= 25
2. The double declining method reduced the net income while the straight line method increased the net icnome

Answer:
10.67%
Explanation:
Gecko Company
Gecko = Expected Earnings growth rate = 8% annually
As there are no Capital gains tax, thus after Tax returns = Pretax returns
= 8%
Expected Dividend yield of Gordon = 5%
After tax returns = 5(1-.25)
=5(0.75)
= 3.75%
Assuming the pay out ratio = 100%
Gordon’s required pretax return = 8/ (1-.25)
=8/0.75
= 10.67%
At pretax return of 10.67% on Gordon the after tax returns on both the stocks are equal.
