Answer:

The correct option b. $2,567.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A company bought a piece of equipment for $49,200 and expects to use it for eight years. The company then plans to sell it for $4,000. The company has already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60. Using the double-declining-balance method, what is the company's annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a. $11,300.

b. $2,567.

c. $19,200.

d. $1,642.

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the annual depreciation expenses.

Double declining depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation technique due to the fact the depreciation expenses are charged faster under it than under straight-line depreciation method.

The depreciation of double declining method is calculated by by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the question, the already recorded depreciation of $42,632.60 is the accumulated depreciation expenses for the 7th year.

Since the upcoming year is the 8th year which is the last year, the depreciation expense for it can be calculated as by adjusting for the residual value of $4,000 follows:

Equipment cost = $49,200

Accumulated Depreciation = $42,632.60

Residual value = $4,000

Estimated useful life = 8 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.125, or 12.50%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%

Beginning book value of the equipment in the upcoming year or in the 8th year = Equipment cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $49,200 - $42,632.60 = $6,567.40

Annual depreciation expense for the upcoming year or for the 8th year = Beginning book value of the equipment - Residual value = $6,567.40 - $4,000 = $2,567

Therefore, the correct option b. $2,567.

dangina [55]

Answer:

$211,689. 53

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the remaining balance (or value) of the mortgage after the payment of the fifth annual installment

Step 1 is to compute PMT using Financial calculator

I = 6%

N = 20

PV = 250,000

FV = 0

PMT=?

Hence,

PMT = 21,796.14.

Now let determine the PV using Financial calculator

I = 6%

N = 15

PMT = 21,796.14

PV=?

Hence,

PV = $211,689. 53

Therefore the remaining balance (or value) of the mortgage after the payment of the fifth annual installment is $211,689. 53

For Example when the price of an apple $1 the quantity supplied is 200 apples a week. if the price falls to $0.85 per apple the quantity supplies will fall to 150 apples a week. So, Quantity supplied at $1 is 200 apples and at $0.85 is 150 apples per week.

Answer and explanation:

Finance is the study of banking, leverage, credit, capital markets, money, and investments along with how they are used by individuals and companies. Many of the basic concepts in Finance come from Micro and Macroeconomic theories. One of the most fundamental theories is the time-value of money which essentially states that a dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future.

When it comes to businesses, finance plays a key role because it determines how the project will be carried out in terms of money. Investors must come up with a plan not only for the expenditures incurred due to business activities but also to make a profit so the firm will have sustainability.
