Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense recognized in Year 2= $7,800.

Explanation:

<u>Determine the depreciation base</u>

The depreciation base = Acquisition cost - Residual/Salvage value.

The depreciation base = 49,000 - 5,000

The depreciation base = $44,000.

<u>Determining the depreciation rate</u>

The depreciation rate = depreciation base / Useful life

The depreciation rate = 44,000/10

The depreciation rate = $ 4,400.

<u>To determine depreciation % rate </u>

Depreciation  % rate = (The depreciation rate  / depreciation base) × 100

Depreciation  % rate = (4,400 / 44,000) × 100

Depreciation % rate = 10 %

But since Missouri Co. uses double declining balance method of depreciation, the correct depreciation % rate is 10 × 2 = 20%

<u>Determining the depreciation expense for year 2</u>

Year 2 depreciation expense is computed as follows:

(Acquisition cost - year 1 depreciation expense) × Depreciation % rate

Depreciation expense for year 2 is computed as:

Acquisition cost × Depreciation % rate = 49,000 × 20%

Year 1 depreciation expense = $9,800.

Therefore year 2 depreciation expense = (49,000  - 9,800.) × 20%

Therefore year 2 depreciation expense = $ 7,800.

Suppose the cost of operating a 75 room hotel for a night is $6,000 and there are 5 empty rooms for tonight. If the marginal cos
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

More than $40, as the marginal benefit will exceed the marginal cost.

Explanation:

A firm should continue to produce a good or service, to hire an additional worker, and to engage in any type of economic activity as long as the marginal benefit is higher than the marginal cost.

In this case, operating one room for the night costs $40. That is the marginal cost. What the customer pays for renting the room for the night is the marginal cost. Therefore, as long as the customer pays more than $40 for the night, the hotel should rent out the room, because the marginal benefit is higher than the marginal cost.
