Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

An interest rate is an amount charged by a lender on the use of assets. It is expressed as a percentage of the principal. The interest rate is the return on lending for a lender and the cost of borrowing for the borrower.  

Interest is typically paid on a loan to compensate for the opportunity cost of lending money. A lender could invest the money instead of lending and get a higher return from it.  

To compensate for not using the money for an alternative purpose or for temporarily making do without the money that was lent, the borrower pays a certain percentage of principal to the lender.

Cleveland Corporation acquired a machine for $42,000 and has recorded depreciation for two years using the straight line method
dsp73

Answer:

The book value of the machine at the end of year 2 is $35,000

Explanation:

Straight line method depreciates the asset on its useful life after deducting salvage value from the cost of the asset.

Depreciation per year = ( Cost of Machine - Residual Value ) / Useful life

Depreciation per year = ( $42,000 - $7,000 ) / 10 years

Depreciation per year = $3,500 per year

Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - ( $3,500 x 2 )

Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $42,000 - $7,000

Book value of machine at the end of year 2 = $35,000
