Answer:
$4,800
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost = $66,000
Accumulated depreciation = $30,000
Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $66,000 - $30,000
= $36,000
Now,
Fair value = $48,000 + $12,000
= $60,000
Thus,
Gain = $60,000 - $36,000
= $24,000
Therefore,
Gain to be recognized = $24,000 × [ 12,000 ÷ 60,000 ]
= $4,800
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Computation of cash received from the sale of the equipment:
D. $58,000. 
Explanation:
Computation:
Sale of Equipment Account
Equipment account   $240,000
less acc. depreciation  172,000
Net book value           $68,000
less loss on sale            10,000
Cash received            $58,000
Equipment Account
Year 1 balance         $750,000
Year 2 balance           510,000
Sale of equipment  $240,000
Accumulated Depreciation:
Year 1 balance         $500,000
Year 2 balance          328,000
Sale of equipment   $172,000
b) The sale of the equipment caused a loss of $10,000.  The net book value of the equipment is $68,000.  This implies that it was sold for $58,000 ($68,000 - $10,000).  So, the cash received from the sale is $58,000.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?
- original cost $5,800 if job is finished in one month (15% probability)
- bonus price for finishing 2 weeks earlier $5,800 x 1.25 = $7,250 (25% probability)
- bonus price for finishing 1 week earlier $5,800 x 1.15 = $6,670 (60% probability)
expected transaction price = ($5,800 x 15%) + ($7,250 x 25%) + ($6,670 x 60%) = $6,684.50
b) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration as the most likely amount?
$6,670, since it has a 60% probability
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is D. increase; decrease.
Explanation:
Speculation consists of the purchase (or sale) of goods with a view to their subsequent resale (repurchase), when the reason for such action is the expectation of a change in the prices affected with respect to the dominant price and not the gain derived from its use, or of some kind of transformation carried out on these or of the transfer between different markets.
A speculative operation seeks not to enjoy the good or service involved, but to obtain a benefit from the price fluctuation based on the theory of arbitration. In an extensive sense, every form of investment that a medium entails is speculative; However, the term is usually applied to that investment that does not entail any kind of commitment to the management of the assets in which it is invested, and is limited to the movement of capital (financial market), usually in the short or medium term.
The speculation is based on the forecast and the perception, so that the speculator can also be wrong if he does not correctly anticipate the evolution of future prices, so he will have to sell cheap something he bought expensive. The speculative market therefore rewards those who know how to predict.
