Answer:

The book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2018 is $75,000.

Explanation:

<u>Determine the depreciable cost,</u>

The depreciable cost = Acquisition cost - Salvage value.

The depreciable cost = 125,000 - 30,500.

The depreciable cost = $94,500.

<u>Determine the annual depreciation expense,</u>

The annual depreciation expense = depreciable cost/useful life

The annual depreciation expense = 94,000/5

The annual depreciation expense = $18,900.

<u>Find the % rate of depreciation .</u>

The % rate of depreciation = (18,900/94,500) × 100.

% rate of depreciation = 20%

Since it is the double-declining-balance method of depreciation we multiply the % rate by 2 =  20% × 2 = 40%

<u>Applying the rate to the carrying value of  the asset to obtain current year's depreciation expense.</u>

Current year's depreciation expense = Carrying value of  the asset × the depreciation rate %.

Current year's depreciation expense = 125,000 × 40%.

Current year's depreciation expense = $75,000

Answer:

Net income= $432,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed overhead, $224,000.

The company produced 28,000 units, and sold 19,000 units, leaving 9,000 units in inventory at year-end.

Income calculated under variable costing is determined to be $360,000.

The difference between absorption costing and variable costing method is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing cost in the unitary production cost. <u>Some of the fixed overhead is allocated into ending inventory increasing the net income for the period.</u>

Unitary fixed overhead= 224,000/28,000= $8

Fixed overhead in ending inventory= 8*9,000= $72,000

Net income= 360,000 + 72,000= $432,000

From the word itself, "values-led" business, this type of businesses are more inclined to doing what is right and moral by promoting values rather than thinking too much about the profit that comes from the sales of the manufactured goods. In the example above, the business leverages in the notion that recycling will lead to lesser pollution to the environment.

Paha777 [63]

Answer: Incorret

Explanation: This is incorrect because the more information we have about the market and the obsolescence time of our products, the better we will be able to coordinate the marketing strategy so that the time spent will be paid with greater profits in the future.

For example, appliances affected by competition or improvements become appliances that replace the previous ones if you do not evaluate the obsolescence time of these items, it is likely that when our product is launched, there is already a better one in the market.
