Answer:

correct option is b. $200,000

Explanation:

given data

Intercept = 40,000

Slope = 20

machine hours X = 8000

to find out

what is the predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April

solution

we will use here least square equation that  will be

Y = intercept + Slope ×  X      ............................1

here Y is cost of maintenance  and X is maintenance hours

so put here value we get from equation 1

Y = 40000 +  ( 20 ×   8000 )

Y = 40000 + 160000

Y = 200000

so  predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April is 200000

correct option is b. $200,000

UNO [17]

Dr Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                                              $20,000

Cr Gain on disposal of truck (Balancing Figure)    $800

Cr Cash  Account                                                       $500

Explanation:

The disposal of a Fixed asset is a three step procedure and is given as under:

  1. Remove the Accumulated depreciation and the cost of the fixed asset
  2. Record the receipt of the consideration at Fair Value
  3. Record the payment or receipt of the cash

Always remember that the balancing figure will go to Profit and loss statement.

<u>Step1: Remove the Accumulated depreciation and the cost of the fixed asset</u>

The asset value and the accumulated depreciation would be removed from the books of accounts and the balance figure would be transfered to profit and loss account.

Dr Accumulated Depreciation $18,000

Dr Profit & Loss Account          $2,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                            $20,000

<u></u>

<u>Step2: Record the receipt of the consideration at Fair Value</u>

Dr Computer - Fixed Asset $3,300

Cr Profit and Loss Account           $3,300

<u>Step3: Record the payment or receipt of the cash</u>

The receipt of the payment will treated as:

Dr Profit and loss Account $500

Cr Cash Account                        $500

The aggregate Effect if I summarizee would be:

Dr Computer                                       $3,300

Dr Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

Cr Truck - Fixed Asset                                              $20,000

Cr Gain on disposal of truck (Balancing Figure)    $800  

Cr Cash  Account                                                       $500
