Equipment purchased at the beginning of the fiscal year for $360,000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 years, or 14,000 ope

rating hours, and a residual value of $10,000. Compute the depreciation for the first and second years of use by each of the following methods: (a) straight-line (b) units-of-output (1,200 hours first year; 2,250 hours second year) (c) double-declining-balance

Answer:

For (A) year 1 and year 2 is $70,000 respectively.

For (B) year 1 is $30,000 and year 2 is $56,250

For (C)  year 1 is  $140,000  and year 2 is $84,000 respectively.

Explanation:

Straight Line method : In straight line method, the amount of depreciation is remain same over a useful life.

Units of output: In this method, the depreciation is charged based on the material output or labor output rather than useful life.

Double Declining method : In this method, the depreciation is charged double on the amount which is come from straight line method.

(a). Straight Line method Formula :

= (Purchase price - Residual value ) ÷ Useful life

= ($360,000 - $10,000) ÷ 5

= $70,000

Since in straight line method, the depreciation amount is same for all years. So, for year 1 and for year 2 the depreciation is $70,000 respectively.

(b). Unit of output Formula

= (Purchase price - Residual Hours) ÷ total number of hours × Per year  Hours )

For year 1 = ($360,000 -10,000 ) ÷  14000 × 1200

= $30,000

For year 2  =  ($360,000 -10,000 ) ÷  14000 × 2250

= $56,250

(c) Double Declining method:

For year 1 = 2 × year 1 straight line method depreciation

= 2 × 70,000

= $140,000

For year 2 = 2 × (cost of asset - residual value - year 1  double declining method depreciation) × Rate

= 2 × ($350,000 - 10,000 - 140,000 ) × 40%

=$84000

where rate = (1 ÷ useful life) × 100 × 2 = (1 ÷ 5)× 100×2 = 40%

Hence, for (A) year 1 and year 2 is $70,000 respectively.

For (B) year 1 is $30,000 and year 2 is $56,250

For (C)  year 1 is  $140,000  and year 2 is $84,000 respectively.

Cobe Company has already manufactured 23,000 units of Product A at a cost of $25 per unit. The 23,000 units can be sold at this
zysi [14]

Answer:

It is more profitable to continue processing the units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A:

Units= 23,000

Selling price= $420,000

Continue processing:

Product B= 6,000 units sold for $106 each

Product C= 11,900 units sold for $52 each

Total cost= $280,000

We need to calculate the effect on the income of both options and choose the most profitable on<u>e. We will not take into account the first costs of Product A because they are irrelevant.</u>

Option 1:

Effect on income= $420,000

Option 2:

Effect on income= (6,000*106) + (11,900*52) - 280,000

Effect on income= $974,800

It is more profitable to continue processing the units.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Step 1: Identify cost activities and their cost drivers

- Material Handling ⇒ Labor hours

- Automated processing ⇒ Machine hours

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ No. of parts

- Inspection ⇒ Labor hours

- Packaging ⇒ Orders shipped

Step 2: Assign overhead costs to activities identified

- Material Handling ⇒ $55,000

- Automated processing ⇒ $40,000

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ $6,000

- Inspection ⇒ $29,000

- Packaging ⇒ $31,000

Step 3: Calculate Total Estimated Cost Driver Activity(for large cage only)

- Material Handling ⇒ 2 per unit × 350 = 700 labor hours

- Automated processing ⇒ 4 per unit ×350 = 1400 machine hours

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ 8 per unit × 350 = 2800 no. of parts

- Inspection ⇒ 2 per unit × 350 = 700 labor hours

- Packaging ⇒ 180 orders shipped

Step 4: Calculate overhead rates

- Material Handling ⇒ $55,000 ÷ 700 = $79 per labor hour

- Automated processing ⇒ $40,000 ÷ 1400 =$28 per machine hour

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ $6,000÷ 2800 = $2 per part

- Inspection ⇒ $29,000÷ 700= $42 per labor hour

- Packaging ⇒ $31,000 ÷ 180=$172 per order shipped

Step 5: Apply overheads to product

Since the the amount of activity consumed by each product is no given , it is unable to calculate per unit cost of overhead.

If it were given, the total activity consumed by the product would be multiplied by their respective activity rates calculated above, and then those amounts would be added together to get total overhead consumed by Large cage. Lastly, that total overhead  will be divided by no. of units produced to get per unit overhead cost.

Regarding the overall effect of negative interest rates on the economy, economists
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The effect of negative interest rates on the economy is reflected in option D:  negative interest rates simply cannot happen in reality.  Answer D is the correct response.

Explanation:

Answer C is partially correct.  In reality, experiments are running on economies as today:  Greece economy.  After a huge recession in previous years, the Government has released bonuses that, at the end of their effective period, will be charging people for actually buy them, and not paying them back.  This leads us to answer D: negative interest rates can actually happen, but they cannot exist as an economic mechanism that develops the economy:  customers will go for profit, not cost.  

The effect of this model is negative on the economy since it will not provide enough resources for stimulation.  Also, it will not slow it down since it is not expected that an instrument with negative interest rates will be accepted, in the form of bonuses, by customers; or loans, provided by banks.
