Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000

Gomez runs a small pottery firm. He hires one helper at $14,500 per year, pays annual rent of $7,500 for his shop, and spends $1
uysha [10]

Answer:

a). Accounting profits=$6,000

b). Economic profit=-$6,000

Explanation:

a). The accounting profits for Gomez's pottery firm can be expressed in the form;

Accounting profits-Total monetary revenue-Total monetary expenses

where;

Total monetary revenue=$86,000

Total monetary expenses=excludes opportunity cost=wages+rent+materials+equipment=(14,500+7,500+18,000+40,000)=$80,000

replacing;

Accounting profits=(86,000-80,000)=$6,000

Accounting profits=$6,000

b). Gomez's economic profit

Economic profit=Total revenue-total costs

where;

Total revenue=(86,000+5,000+6,000)=97,000

Total costs includes opportunity cost=(80,000+23,000)=103,000

replacing;

Economic profit=(97,000-103,000)=-$6,000

Economic profit=-$6,000

Suppose that Verizon Wireless has hired you as a consultant to determine what price it should set for calling services. Suppose
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The two optimal two part price that would be suggested to Verizon is Unit per Fee = $1 and Lump Sum fee or fixed fee = $99

Explanation:

Solution

For us fully maximize profit under two part price It should gives  that amount of wireless service at which P = MC and and also charge Lump sum fee or fixed fee equals to the consumers surplus that consumer will have.

Now,

marginal cost= MC  = 1 and P = 100 - 25Q.

Thus,

P = MC => 100 - 25Q = 1 => Q = 2

Then,

The Consumer surplus is the above area Price of  line which is (iP = 1) and below is the curve of demand

Now,

P = 100, When Q = 0 The Consumer surplus = (1/2)*base*height

= (1/2)*(100 - 1)*2 = 99

Therefore, Fixed fee or The Lump Sum fee = 99

However, the  Optimal two part pricing is denoted by:

The Unit per Fee = $1 and Lump Sum fee or fixed fee = $99
