galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Giselle should purchase points to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.

Explanation:

163000 x20% = 32,600

163,000 - 32,600 = 130,040

current mortgage cuota:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

$C \times \frac{1-(1+0.0625/12)^{-30*12} }{0.0625/12} = 130,040\\$

C= 800.68

800.68/ 2,986 = 0.2681 = 26.81%

this cuota exeeds the desired amount Giselle wants.

her couta can be as much as 2,986 x 25% = 746.5

Giselle should purchase points to lower the interest rate of the mortage, this will make the cuota decrease.

Dec. 31:

Depreciation Expense on Building $2,225

Credit Accumulated Depreciation on Building $2,225

To record the depreciation expense for the 3 months.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Gain on Equipment of $24,000 is based on the difference between the net book value of the equipment and the trade-in cost.

2. The same is also applicable on the Building.

3. Allocation of the purchased cost of $600,000:

Land = 234,600/690,000 * $600,000 = $204,000

Building = 455,600/690,000 * $600,000 = $396,000

4. Depreciation on New Motor-carrier equipment:

Depreciable amount = $213,000 ($236,000 - 23,000)

Useful life = 1 million miles

Estimated residual value = $23,000

Depreciation rate = $213,000/ 1 million = $0.213

1st year depreciation = $0.213 * 160,000 = $34,080

5. Depreciation on Building:

Depreciable amount = $356,000 ($396,000 - 40,000)

Useful life = 40 years

Estimated residual value = $40,000

Depreciation rate = $8,900 ($356,000/40)

For three months, depreciation expense = $8,900/12 * 3 = $2,225

A corporation uses the indirect method for preparing the statement of cash flows. A fixed asset has been sold for $23,649 repres

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a. $(3,881)

Explanation:

Gain on sale of fixed assets is an income. To be included in the operating section of the cash flow statement, we need to deduct the gain. The disposal of the fixed assets will go to the investing section. As the gain of the sale of assets is already added to the net income in the income statement, it will be deducted to make the accounting procedure transparent. Therefore, option A is correct.
