Answer:

Option B $128700

Explanation:

The amortization can be calculated using the following formula:

Amortization for the Year = Assets Value * (Turquoise Extracted / Total Turquoise)

Amortization for the Year = $429,000 * (1950/6,500) = $128,700

The method used is depletioning method because it seems that the company will extract all of the turquoise within the 3.33 year time (6500/1950), which is within the 5 years duration for which the right to extract the turquoise is purchaseed. Otherwise the straigth line method would had be used here.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

3,500 pounds

Explanation:

By applying the below formula we get:

AQ(AP-SP)

USD 5,250 (unfavorable price variance )

kykrilka [37]
There is a difference in the change of pronounce used. The best (and probably correct answer) is the first sentence: <span>However, when the entire residence staff listened to our argument again, they became convinced that the system wasn't fair. The pronounce 'they' refer to the collective term of 'entire residence staff'.</span>

Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses​ $1,000,000 in savings to purchase​ land, he rents equipment for ​$1
mina [271]

Answer:

-$475,000

Explanation:

Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price

                       = 100,000 × $3

                       = $300,000

Explicit cost:

= Rent equipment + wages

= $100,000 + $100,000

= $200,000

Implicit cost:

= Land × Interest + salesman earned

=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000

= $575,000

Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost

                = $200,000 + $575,000

                = $775,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost

                           = $300,000 - $775,000

                           = -$475,000
