Answer:
d. A larger fixed assets turnover ratio and a larger gain on asset disposal
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation whereby the book value of an asset is rapidly depreciated or reduced i.e at an accelerated rate.
This method usually minimizes taxable income in the initial years as a higher amount of depreciation is claimed.
Fixed assets turnover ratio refers to what percentage of net sales is attributable to an entity's fixed assets. It is expressed as:
Gain on sale of asset disposal = Sale value - Book Value
Book Value = Cost less accumulated depreciation till date
As can be seen, Average fixed assets balance would reduce thereby increasing fixed assets turnover ratio.
Similarly, due to higher depreciation charged, Book Value would be comparatively less, which would lead to larger gain on assets disposal in the initial years.
Answer:
option (D) loss, $3,000
Explanation:
Given:
price of the truck = $48,000
estimated residual value = $8,000
Exchange price of the truck = $60,000
Trade allowance = $35,000
Since, straight line depreciation is given, thus,
Total depreciation =
or
Total depreciation = $5,000 per year
Therefore,
the book value after two years
= Price of truck - total depreciation in two years
or
= $48,000 − ($5,000 × 2 years)
= $38,000
Now,
a trade allowance received ( i.e $35,000 ) is less than the book value
therefore a loss is recorded
The amount of loss = (Book value - trade allowance received)
or
The amount of loss = $38,000 - $35,000 = $3,000
Hence, correct answer is option (D) loss, $3,000
