Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Acquiring operating assets.

Explanation:

Free cash flow refers to the available money a company has after covering all its liabilities and expenses. This money is usually distributed among the firm's investors -stakeholders- and creditors. The Free Cash Flow is not equal to net income because it does not include non-cash expenses but takes into consideration the expenses on company equipment and changes in working capital.

Then, <em>the free cash flow is not destined for acquiring operating assets.</em>

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

20X9 depreciation expense is $160

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20%.

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

In 20X6, depreciation expense = 40% x $10,000 = $4,000

At the beginning of the year 20X7, the truck cost's book value is $10,000-$4,000 = $6,000

In 20X7, depreciation expense = 40% x $6,000 = $2,400

In 20X8, depreciation expense = 40% x ($10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400) = $1,440

Accumulated depreciation at December 31 20X8 = $4,000 + $2,400 + $1,440 = $7,840

Book value at December 31 20X8 = $10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400 - $1,440 = $2,160

In 20X9, depreciation expense = $10,000 - $2,000 - $7,840 = $160

The 20X9 depreciation expense was $160 which is less than the actual $864 (40% of $2,160). It was done to keep the residual value as estimated ($2,000)

natta225 [31]

Answer:

$122,000

Explanation:

Net worth refers to total assets minus total liabilities.

Therefore, the net worth of this customer can be calculated as follows:

Assets = Existing assets + A new car - Withdraw from existing checking account = $436,000 + $35,000 - $5,000 = $466,000

Liabilities = Existing liabilities + Borrowing from auto fiance company =  $314,000 + $30,000 = $344,000

Net worth = Assets - Liabilities = $466,000 - $344,000 = $122,000.
