At the beginning of Year 1, Trey Inc., purchased a machine with a total acquisition cost of $33,000. The machine has an estimate
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

cost of machine = $33,000

Estimated residual value = $3,000

Estimated useful life = 3 years

Estimated useful life in terms of production = 60,000 units

Total units produced in year 1 = 16,000

Now,

Rate of annual depreciation with respect to units produced

= [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Estimated useful life in terms of production

= [ $33,000 - $3,000 ] ÷ 60,000

= $0.5 per unit

Therefore,

Depreciation expense for the year 1

= Rate of annual depreciation × Total units produced in year 1

= $0.5 per unit × 16,000 units.

= $8,000

Morgan Sondgeroth Inc. began operations in January 2018 and reported the following results for each of its 3 years of operations
stepan [7]

Answer:

Part A) Book Value = $1,080,000

Part B) Book Value = $1,050,000

Explanation:

Part 1: To compute the book value of the common stock at December 31, 2020

To do this, we consider both the preferred and common stock values as follows:

Stockholder's equity:

<u>Preferred Stock = $500,000</u>

<u>Common stock = $750,000</u>

Retained earnings: To calculate retained earnings we need to deduct dividends in arrears to prefered stock holders and then ascribe the remaining value to retained earnings.

Dividend in Arrears= 3 years @ 8% interest per year

= 500,000 x 0.08 x 3= $120,000

<u>Remaining earnings for available to common share holders </u>

= Retained earnings balance- dividend paid to prferred stock holders.

=$800,000 (net income for 2020)- $40,000 (net loss for 2019) - $260,000 (net loss for 2018)

= $800,000-$40,000-$260,000

= $500,000 - Dividend in arrears

= $500,000- $120,000

= $380,000

<u>Book Value of Stockholders' equity</u>

Common Stock equity + Balance of retained earnings

= $700,000 + $380,000

= $1,080,000

The book value per share = $1,080,000/ outstanding shares

= $1,080,000/750,000= $1.44

Part 2: To compute the book value of the common stock at December 31, 2020 Preference stock has liquidating value of $106 per share

Stockholder's equity:

<u>Preferred Stock = $500,000</u>

Preferred stock liquidating premium = (106-100) x 5000

= $6 x 5000= $30,000

<u>Common stock = $750,000</u>

Retained earnings: To calculate retained earnings we need to deduct dividends in arrears to prefered stock holders and then ascribe the remaining value to retained earnings.

Dividend in Arrears= 3 years @ 8% interest per year

= 500,000 x 0.08 x 3= $120,000

<u>Remaining earnings for available to common share holders </u>

= Retained earnings balance- net losses from previous years - dividend paid to prferred stock holders - liquadating premium to preferred stock

=$800,000 (net income for 2020)- $40,000 (net loss for 2019) - $260,000 (net loss for 2018)

= $800,000-$40,000-$260,000

= $500,000 - Dividend in arrears - liquidating

= $500,000- $120,000- $30,000

= $350,000

<u>Book Value of Stockholders' equity</u>

Common Stock equity + Balance of retained earnings

= $700,000 + $350,000

= $1,050,000

The book value per share = $1,080,000/ outstanding shares

= $1,050,000/750,000= $1.4
