Answer:
(B) Leave his portfolio the way it is now
Explanation:
Bond value and market interest rates are inversely related. When the market interest rates are expected to decline and an investor already holds a bond with fixed rate of interest, the value of such bonds shall rise.
Market interest rates refer to the rate of interest other firms are offering on similarly priced bonds. Thus market interest rate also implies investor expectations i.e YTM (yield to maturity) which is used as a discounting factor to ascertain the price of a bond.
Lesser the discounting rate (yield to maturity), higher shall be the value of a bond.
Thus, it is recommended for Mr Smith to (B) leave his portfolio the way it is now.
Answer:
Functional Obsolescence.
Explanation:
One reason for the difference between the current market value of a building and the total cost to reproduce it is related to changes in tastes, preferences, technical innovations, or market standards, which is commonly referred to as functional obsolescence.
Functional obsolescence can be defined as depreciation in value due to reduction in desirability or functionality as a result of an obsolete design.
This will readily apply to buildings that have to be broken down most times in order to build a new one because their designs are outdated.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 per year
In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
So, the Journal entry is
Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880
To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880
(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)
Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
