Answer:

The gain recognized on the equipment is $6,550

Explanation:

A straight-line depreciation method distributes depreciation costs evenly throughout the useful life of the equipment, and depreciation per year using this method is calculated thus:

Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= (45,200 - 6,100) ÷ 4 = 39,100 ÷ 4 = $9,775

This means that each year, the machine depreciates by a value of $9,775.

Next, we are given that the machine was sold for $32,200 after two years, to determine if a profit or loss was made, we will calculate the expected residual value after two years, and find the difference between this value and the selling price. The residual value is calculated thus:

Residual value = Cost of equipment - (depreciation per year × number of years used)

Residual value = 45,200 - ( 9,775 × 2 )

Residual value = 45,200 - 19,550 = $25,650

Difference between residual value and selling price = 32,200 - 25,650 = $6,550 (profit was made since the selling price was higher than the value of the equipment)

<h3>What is flexible budged?</h3>

A flexible budget is one that is based on various sales volumes. For each projected level of production, the static budget is adjusted by a flexible budget. Due to this flexibility, management is able to predict how the budgeted figures will change as sales volume changes.

Calculation for the facility expenses in the flexible budget for December:

The table of the data used in budgeting: Fixed Element per Month Variable element per tenant-day Revenue is in attachment-

Facility expenses in the flexible budget = Variable + Fixed

                                                                  = (3650*4.40) + 8200

                                                                  = 16,060 + 8200

                                                                   = 24,260

The wages and salaries in the planning budget for December would be closest to $24,260.
