Answer:

option (A) $29,920

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Purchasing cost = $40,000

Estimated life = 6 years

Salvage value = $4,000

Estimated driving life = 100,000

Vehicle driven in total till 2020 = 10,000 + 18,000 = 28,000

Now,

Using the units-of-production depreciation method

Total depreciation till 2020 = \frac{\textup{Purchasing cost - Salvage value}}{\textup{Estimated driving life}}\times\textup{Total distance driven}

or

Total depreciation till 2020 = \frac{\textup{40,000 - 4,000}}{\textup{100,000}}\times\textup{28,000}

or

Total depreciation till 2020 = $10,080

Thus,

Book value on December 31, 2020 = Purchasing cost - Depreciation

= $40,000 - $10,080

= $29,920

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) $29,920

Unrealized holding gains or losses which are recognized in income are from debt securities classified as
Serga [27]

Answer:

Trading.

Explanation:

In Business management, when a gain or loss is realized, it simply means that the owner of stock or other securities has sold it. Thus, these unrealized gains or losses are generally referred to as paper profits or losses.

Basically, when the value of a stock being bought by an investor reduces (falls) while he or she is yet to sell it, it is known as an unrealized loss.

However, when the value of a stock being bought by an investor rises (increases) while he or she is yet to sell it, it is known as an unrealized gains.

Hence, unrealized holding gains or losses which are recognized in income are from debt securities classified as trading.

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,500,000 and can be sold for $
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

d) $677,532.

Explanation:

1.

Written down value of the equipment after 4 years = Cost x ( 100% - 1st year MACRS - Second-year MACRS - Third-year MACRS - Fourth-year MACRS ) = $3,500,000 x ( 100% - 20% - 32% - 19.20% - 11.52% ) = $604,800

2.

Now calculate the gain on the sale of equipment

Gain on the sale of equipment = Sale Price - Written down Value after 4 years = $715,000 - $604,800 = $110,200

3.

Tax owed = Gain on the sale x Tax rate = $110,200 x 34% = $37,468

After-tax salvage value = Sales price - Tax = $715,000 - $37,468 = $677,532

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $50
Anettt [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Fixed cost is

= $500,000 + $1,000,000

= $1,500,000

And, the marginal cost is

= $0.25 + $0.10

= $0.35 per paer

Now

as we know that

AFC = FC ÷ Q

Now for At 1,000,000 papers,

AFC is

= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $1.50/mo

At 800,000 , it would be

AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000

= $1.875/mo

MC = $0.35 per paper  and the same is not changed

Now for break even, the average total cost is

ATC = AFC + AVC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q

VC = MC × Q

ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35

At Q = 1,000,000,

ATC = 1.50 + 0.35

ATC = $1.85

At Q = 800,000 , it would be

ATC = 1.875 + 0.35

=  $2.225

As it can be seen that

The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.

The MC remains constant or same  at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same

And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375

Stellar Corporation engaged in the following cash transactions during 2017. Sale of land and building $194,800 Purchase of treas
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The cash provided by investing activities is $91900

Explanation:

The net cash provided or (used) by investing activities is computed thus:

Sale of land and building                     $194800

Purchase of land                                    ($44700)

Purchase of equipment                          ($58200)

Net cash provided by investing activities $91900

The purchase of treasury refers to purchase of own shares from shareholders,hence it is a financing activity

Payment of dividends to shareholders is also a financing activity

Issuance of common stock and retirement of bonds are also financing activity-related,as a result they do not feature in the above computation of cash provided or used by investing activities

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 billion bottles of wine were sold ev
zmey [24]

Answer:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Explanation:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).

The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers.  This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.

The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers.  This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.

If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5).  This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden.  This would have made the tax unequitable.  This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic.  That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.
