Answer: Option d

Explanation: Using the word "black" refers to the profit margins of a corporation and existing financial health. A corporation seems to have been in the black when it is financially viable or, more explicitly, if after taking account for all expenditures, the business generates positive income.

The phrase has origins in the past of accounting where accountants manually checked financial information in their records before hardware and software were used.

Accountants used various colored inks— both black and red — to indicate the productivity of a product. Unlike a black business, in the red is seen as one of with unfavorable results or unprofitable.

Archie Co. purchased a framing machine for $45,000 on January 1, 2021. The machine is expected to have a four-year life, with a

k0ka [10]

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.

A new building that costs $1,400,000 has a useful life of 10 years and a scrap value of $100,000. Using straight-line depreciati

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

V = $1,400,000 - $130,000t

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of the new building = $1,400,000

Useful life = 10 years

Scrap value = $100,000

Now,

using the straight line method

Annual depreciation = [ Cost - Scrap value ] ÷ Useful life

= [$1,400,000 - $100,000 ] ÷ 10

= $130,000

Value of building = Cost of the building - Depreciation for 10 years

V = $1,400,000 - [ Annual depreciation × Time ]

V = $1,400,000 - $130,000t

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

Alto's share value = (2,400 × $24) = $57,600

Alto's total value = Share value + Incremental value of acquisition = $57,600 + $5,500 = $63,100

Net present value (NPV) = Alto's total value - Cost of acquisition = $63,100 - $63,000 = $100

Therefore, the net present value of acquiring Alto to Solo is $100.
