deff fn [24]

Answer:

Crawford Trucking

Calculation of book value for disposal of two vehicles:

a) The Truck sold on January 2 would not have depreciation expenses computed for it.  The book value on January 1 would be the same on January 2.  It is not practical to compute depreciation expense for 1 day.

b) The Truck sold on July 9 would have depreciation computed for the year 2018 pro rated for six months.  The book value would be less than the Truck sold on January 2.

Explanation:

Depreciation expense may be pro rated depending on the prevailing circumstances.  This becomes necessary because the sold unit may not be fully utilized for the period under review.  Under the matching principle of generally accepted accounting principles, it is imperative to match revenue to the period they were incurred.

If quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied, what most likely needs to happen to achieve equilibrium?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C, The price needs to increase.

Explanation:

In order to maintain a balance or equilibrium, there should always be a balance between the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. If quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied, it means people are demanding the product more and the supply of that product is not meeting the demand. In this scenario when there is more demand of a product than supply, the price of the product should increase in order to create a balance between the quantity demanded and supplied, because it is the law of demand that when demand increases, the prices of the product also increases and vice versa. So to maintain the equilibrium, the price of the product should increase. In this way demand will decrease and will reach a point where demand will meet the supply of the product.
