Your bosses at the residential contracting firm has asked you to help them decide about whether they should keep a particular it

em of construction equipment or accept an offer for sale. The equipment cost $126,000 new and it has a useful life of eight years.The firm has been using a double declining balance (DDB) method of depreciation and this is the third year of ownership. Your firm has received an offer to purchase the item (at the end of this third year of ownership) for $60,000. However, your bosses only will sell if doing so will make a profit. To help your bosses decide whether or not they should sell the equipment, calculate the remaining book value at the end of year 3 (the anticipated time of sale).

Answer:

The remaining book value at the end of year 3 is $53,156.25 < Selling price

The Bosses should sell the equipment.

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 8 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 12.5% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total asset cost - salvage value =  $126,000-$0 = $126,000

Under the double-declining-balance method the 12.5% straight line rate is doubled to 25% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

In the first year, depreciation expense = 25% x $126,000 = $31,500

At the beginning of the second year, the Depreciable cost's book value is $126,000-$31,500 = $94,500

Depreciation expense in second year = 25% x $94,500 = $23,625

At the beginning of the year 3, the Depreciable cost's book value is $94,500-$23,625 = $70,875

Depreciation expense in second year = 25% x $70,875 = $17,718.75

Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3 = $31,500  + $23,625 + $17,718.75 = $72,843.75

The remaining book value at the end of year 3 = Total asset cost - Accumulated depreciation at the end of year 3 = $126,000 - $72,843.75 = $53,156.25 < $60,000 (Selling price)

The Bosses should sell the equipment.

Which of the following would tend to shift the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange in the open-economy
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The right answers are either b. or d., or both.

Explanation:

When the dollar loses value, there is higher demand for foreign imports in a country because they become cheaper. When the dollar gains  in value, a foreign country´s exports increase. Changes in the value of currencies reflect changes in demand and supply. An increase in exports will shift the demand curve of the dollar higher. A reduction of imports will have a contrary effect.

Which of the following changes in the loanable funds market will decrease the equilibrium real interest rate?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is Option C

Explanation:

Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.

In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

200 units      

Explanation:

For computing the number of units produced each time we need to applied the economic order quantity formula which is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is 1,600 units

Ordering cost per order is $25

And, the carrying cost or holding cost per unit per year is $2

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the economic order quantity is

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{1,600}\times \text{\$25}}{\text{\$2}}}

= 200 units
