Answer:

The correct option <u>b. $2,567</u><u>.</u>

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 <u>b. $2,567</u><u>.</u>

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option D: Time value of money.

Explanation:

To begin with, due to the fact that Rock Solid Concrete Company does not offer customers a cash discount for early payment then it is quite obvious that their customers will try to wait to pay their bills on the last day because in that way they will be able of having that money availabe for any issues or inconveniences that could occur during those first days, therefore that those customers apparently <u>understand the importance of time value of the money because if the pay early they will lose that cash and would not have it for any urgencies</u>.

defon

Answer: $96,500

Explanation:

Manufacturing cost includes all the costs that went into production in a period including direct costs and manufacturing overhead:

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing Overhead

Manufacturing overhead = Beginning work in process + Factory overhead - Ending work in process

= 11,200 + 52,600 - 11,800

= $52,000

Manufacturing cost = 19,500 + 25,000 + 52,000

= $96,500

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: 0.6%

Explanation:

The expected return is a weighted average of the returns of the assets invested in.

70% is invested in cash which earns 0%

30% is in a savings account earning 2%

Expected return = (70% * 0%) + (30% * 2%)

= 0% + 0.6%

= 0.6%
