Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $56,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 2

50,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $4,000. All three trucks were driven 77,000 miles in 2018, 66,000 miles in 2019, 43,000 miles in 2020, and 72,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $45,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions.

Answer:

1. Company A, Retained earnings = $32,000

2. Company B, Retained earnings = $42.000

3. Company C, Retained earnings = $30,024

Explanation:

Requirement 1

<em>Company A</em> = Straight-line depreciation method

We know, Depreciation expense under straight-line depreciation method = (Purchase value of truck - Salvage value) ÷ useful life.

Depreciation expense = ($56,000 - $4,000) ÷ 4

Depreciation expense = $13,000

We know that under straight-line depreciation method, depreciation expense remains same in each year. That means, 2021 depreciation expense = $13,000

Net Income in 2021 = Total revenue - Depreciation expense (assume there is no other expenses)

Net Income in 2021 = $45,000 - $13,000 = $32,000

Therefore, Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings of 2021 + net income - dividend. (Assume there is no dividend and beginning retained earnings).

Retained earnings = 0 + $32,000 - 0 = $32,000

Requirement 2

<em>Company B</em> = Double-declining depreciation method

We know, Depreciation expense under straight-line depreciation method = (Purchase value of truck ÷ useful life) × 2.

Depreciation expense = ($56,000 ÷ 4) × 2.

Depreciation expense for 2018 = $28,000

We know that under double-declining depreciation method, depreciation expense changes in each year. Therefore, we have to calculate 2019-2021 depreciation expense.

2019 depreciation expense = ($56,000 - 28,000) × 2/4

2019 depreciation expense = $28,000 × 2/4 = $14,000

Book value of truck = $28,000 - $14,000 = $14,000

2020 depreciation expense = $14,000 × 2/4 = $7,000

2021 depreciation expense = $(14,000 - $7,000) × 2/4 = $3,500.

As it is higher than the salvage value, we have to take <em>$3,000 as depreciation expense for 2021</em>. The calculation has been given below:

Total Accumulated depreciation = $28,000 + $14,000 + $7,000 + $3,500 = $52,500

Cost price = $56,000

Salvage value = $4,000

Therefore, book value = $56,000 - $52,500 = $3,500. It exceeds the salvage value, therefore, we have to deduct 500 to keep the expense same.

Net Income in 2021 = Total revenue - Depreciation expense (assume there is no other expenses)

Net Income in 2021 = $45,000 - $3,000 = $42,000

Therefore, Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings of 2021 + net income - dividend. (Assume there is no dividend and beginning retained earnings).

Retained earnings = 0 + $42,000 - 0 = $42,000

Requirement 3

<em>Company C</em> = units-of-production depreciation method

We know, Depreciation expense rate under units-of-production depreciation method = (Purchase value of truck - Salvage value) ÷ useful usage.

Depreciation expense rate = ($56,000 - $4,000) ÷ 250,000

Depreciation expense rate = $0.208

Depreciation expense for 2021 = $0.208 × 72,000 miles = $14,976

Net Income in 2021 = Total revenue - Depreciation expense (assume there is no other expenses)

Net Income in 2021 = $45,000 - $14,976 = $30,024

Therefore, Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings of 2021 + net income - dividend. (Assume there is no dividend and beginning retained earnings).

Retained earnings = 0 + $30,024 - 0 = $30,024

Real GDP​ ______. A. accurately measures leisure time and life expectancy comma but does not accurately measure the general heal
professor190 [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Real GDP measure total economic output by an economy in a specific geographical boundary regardless of ownership of factors of production, within a year, ceteris paribus.

Real GDP is a good indicator but is not a perfect indicator as underground economy (private tuition whereby taxes and consumption of goods and services) are not accounted for.

Real GDP does not measure Non-Material standard of living like leisure hours, health and life expectancy... It needs other indicators.

Both B and D is a bit effy as:

For D, GDP does not even measure such Non-Material SOL

For B, GDP is not 100 percent accurate on measuring household production (local production? I believe there is no such phrasing as household production as by economics, household is involved in household spending, Contributing to Consumption expenditure in Aggregate Demand.) as there are other factors like presence of underground economy that is not accounted for.

However, B seems like the most accurate ans as it still measures national output.
