Answer:

B) A gain would be less or a loss would be greater using straight-line depreciation.

Explanation:

In straight line method of depreciation there is a fixed amount of depreciation,  and in double declining method the rate is double of straight line method,

Let us take an example,

Cost of asset = $500,000

Selling price at end of 2nd year = $300,000

Straight line depreciation = $100,000 for each year i.e. $500,000/5

Double declining method rate = ($100,000/$500,000) \times 100 \times 2 = 40%

Therefore value at end of second year

Straight line = $500,000 - ($100,000 \times 2 ) = $300,000

Double Declining method = ($500,000 -40%) - 40% = $180,000

In case of sale at $300,000

Profit shall be

Straight line = $300,000 - $300,000 = 0

Double Declining = $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000

Now, there will be more profit in double declining that is gain is less in straight line and losses would be greater in straight line thus statement B is correct.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

6.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 years

PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000

PMT = $0

FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years

= $75,000 × 8.6487

= $648,652.50

The following formula should be applied

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

Novosadov [1.4K]
The consumer surplus associated with the consumption of furniture increases. Wood is an input in the production of furniture therefore it constitutes the cost of production, the decrease in the price of wood would therefore mean a decrease in the production cost. A decrease in the cost of production in turn causes a decrease in the buying price of furniture and therefore, consumer surplus increases.
