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.

Mountaintop golf course is planning for the coming season. Investors would like to earn a​ 12% return on the​ company's $45 mill
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

The return on assets would be:

Return on assets (ROA)= Assets × Return

                                      = $45,000,000 × 12%

                                     = $5,400,000

Return per customer = ROA / Number of golfers

                                  = $5,400,000 / 400,000

                                  = $13.50

Fixed Cost per Customer = Fixed Cost / Number of golfers

                                          = $20,000,000 / 400,000

                                         = $50

Cost to be charged per customer = Profit + Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

                                                        = $13.50 + $50 + $15

                                                        = $78.50
