If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be (D) $31,000.
<h3>
What is depreciation?</h3>
- Depreciation in accounting refers to two aspects of the same concept: first, the actual decrease in fair value of an asset, such as the decrease in value of factory equipment each year as it is used and worn, and second, the allocation of the original cost of the assets to periods in which the assets are used in accounting statements (depreciation with the matching principle).
- Thus, depreciation is the loss in asset value and the mechanism used to reallocate, or "write down," the cost of a tangible asset (such as equipment) throughout its usable life period.
To find If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021:
- Annual depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ 10
- = (380,000 - 70,000) ÷ 10
- = 310,000 ÷ 10
- = $31,000
Therefore, if the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be (D) $31,000.

The correct question is given below:
A factory machine was purchased for $380000 on January 1, 2021. It was estimated that it would have a $70000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 37000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 3700 actual hours in 2021. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2021 would be 
(A) $62000. 
(B) $70000. 
(C) $38000. 
(D) $31000.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
22.38%
Explanation:
Given that,
Operating profit before interest and tax = $519,233
Net income = $318,022 thousand
Provision for income taxes = $91,720 thousand
Net non-operating expense before tax = $109,491 thousand
Mattel’s statutory tax rate for 2016 = 37%
Income before income tax: 
= Net Income + Provision for income taxes
= $318,022 Thousand + $91,720 Thousand 
= $409,742 Thousand
Effective tax rate: 
= (Provision for Income taxes ÷ Income before tax) × 100
= ($91,720 Thousand ÷ $409,742 Thousand) × 100
= 0.2238 × 100
= 22.38%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The simple rate of return is 37.5%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return is the percentage of return on investment that takes the net annual return cash flow of an investment and compare with initial capital of the investment. It is calculated with this formula:
 <u>Total annual return - Depreciation expense</u>
                 Initial capital outlay
For farmer Joe, the simple rate of return is:
<u>$20,000 + $25,000 + $30,0000 -$0</u>     x   100
                     $200,000
=   <u>$75,000</u>  x 100
    $200,000
= 37.5%
Depreciation expense is assumed to be zero.

Answer:
C alternative would yield the lowest total cost for an expected annual volume of 111 boats
Explanation:
The computation of each alternatives are shown below:
 A (new location)
Fixed cost                                     $310,000
Variable cost ($400 × 111 boats) $44,400
Transportation cost                      $5,300
Total cost                                      $359,700
B (subcontract)
Fixed cost                                       $0
Variable cost ($3,200 × 111 boats)$355,200
Transportation cost                      $32,000
Total cost                                      $387,200
C (expand existing facilities)
Fixed cost                                     $74,000
Variable cost ($1,200 × 111 boats) $133,200
Transportation cost                      $88,000
Total cost                                      $295,200
Out of these, the alternative C has the lowest total cost
