Answer:

There is a loss on disposal of $80

Explanation:

The double declining rate method of depreciation is an accelerated form of charging depreciation on an asset. It charges higher depreciation in the earlier years and lower depreciation in the later years of the useful life of the asset. the formula for double declining balance depreciation per year is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [ (Cost - Accumulated depreciation) / estimated useful life of the asset ]

The depreciation expense per year on this asset is,

Depreciation expense = 2 * [(104000 - 0) / 5]

Depreciation expense for the 1 year(2021) = $41600

As the asset was purchased in September, we will charge a depreciation expense of 4 months.

Depreciation expense for 2021 = 31600 * 4/12   = $13866.67

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2021 = $13866.67

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = 2 * [(104000 - 13866.67) / 5]

Depreciation expense for 2nd year (2022) = $36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = 13866.67 + 36053.33

Accumulated depreciation at the end of 2022 = $49920

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we need to determine the Net Book value of the asset at the end of 2022 and compare it with the cash received from the sale. If the cash received is more than the Net Book Value, there is a gain on disposal and if the cash received is less than the Net Book Value, there is a loss on disposal.

Net Book value at the end of 2022 = 104000 - 49920   = $54080

Loss on disposal = 54000 - 54080  =  - $80 (loss on disposal)

nco purchased a computer for $200,000 and this machine is expected to generate annual cash flows of $48,271 over the next 5 year
Anika [276]

Answer:

The expected rate of return on this investment is:

21%

Explanation:

Cost of computer = $200,000

Annual cash flows for 5 years = $48,271

Total cash flows = $241,355 ($48,271 x 5)

Returns = $41,355 ($241,355 - $200,000)

The expected rate of return = Returns/Costs * 100

or the average of returns and the average of investments (they yield the same results)

Using the total returns and investment:

= $41,355/$200,000 * 100

= 21%

Using the average returns and investment:

= $8,271/$40,000 * 100

= 21%

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A 6,500

Explanation:

The number of units to be sold is calculated as;

= (Pretax income + Fixed costs) ÷ Contribution margin

Given that;

Pretax income = $35,000

Fixed costs = $420,000

Contribution margin

= Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $200 - $130

= $70

= ($35,000 + $420,000) ÷ $70

= 6,500 units
