Marston acquired assets for $100,000. At the end of year 3, the assets had accumulated depreciation of $40,000. An impairment lo

MissTica

Answer:

(b)-Debit to loss on impairment of $12,000

Explanation:

As for the details in question,

The asset purchase price = $100,000

Accumulated depreciation = $40,000

Thus, book value = Purchase price - Accumulated depreciation = $100,000 - $40,000 = $60,000

Now, this has a fair market value = $48,000

Thus, loss of value to be recorded as impairment loss = $60,000 - $48,000 = $12,000

Since loss in value will decrease the value of asset, it will be debited against credit in fixed assets by $12,000

This, will represent book value = $48,000

Therefore, correct option is:

Statement B

What is the Porter's 5 forces model?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Created by a Professor Michael E. Porter, from Harvard, this model explains the various forces applied to a business.

Competition in the industry : Are there competitors in the industry? If so, are they numerous and weak or is the industry dominated by a few major players?

Potential of new entrants into the industry : What's the risk of having new competition? If you are selling a product, can you protect it with a patent for example?

Power of suppliers : Can the suppliers of what you need easily affect the prices? It's basically asking if there is competition in your suppliers' market.

Power of customers : That related to your customer base. If your customer base is large, chances are no individual will be able to force your price down. But if you are dealing with a limited number of customers, one of them might force you to lower your prices.

Threat of substitute products: Is there any comparable product/service offered at a lower cost that might bring your prices down?

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

d) variability

Explanation:

Variability is the quality of a service that does not follow a fixed, or predictable pattern, following instead a changing (or variable), or unpredictable pattern.

Seasonality is a type of variability that occurs when a business is subject to very rigid time constraints: in some periods of time it booms, and in other periods, it busts.

Alex's business is seasonal because it only becomes profitable during the summer months, while the other three seasons represent a net loss for him.
