Answer:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 1,200.00
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 5,000.00
Explanation:
The difference between accumulated depreciation represents the depreciation charge that was made during the first quarter of the 2018 accounting year.
Then depreciation charges for the first quarter are calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 800 – 400 = 400
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 2,500 – 1,250 = 1,250
Since there are 4 quarters in an accounting year, the depreciation charge in 2018 is calculated as follows:
Depreciation expense Office equipment = 400 * 4 = 1,200
Depreciation expense Computer equipment = 1,250 * 4 = 5,000
Answer:
The correct answer is normative analysis.
Explanation:
A positive analysis is the one that attempts to reflect reality with statements of cause and effect and is used mainly in microeconomics. On the other hand, a normative analysis, in which reality is prescribed, that is, we go beyond explanation and prediction, value judgments are used.
In contrast to the positive analysis, the normative analysis responds how the law should achieve efficiency objectives. This analysis assumes that efficiency is an objective that law should reflect and that legal norms should change when they fail. From this perspective, efficiency is a social value that the Law should promote.
