Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-
Depreciation
= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25
= $6,840
For First year = $6,840
For Second year = $6,840
It would be the same for the remaining useful life
b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 25
= 4%
Now the rate is double So, 8%
In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60

Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a.
Continuing to produce
Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100
Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700
Fixed overhead = $109,000
Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600
So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it.
Income = $0
Variable Expenses = $0
Fixed overhead = $71,000
Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000
So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000.
The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>
Intangible Standards
Intangible standards are those that do not have physical form, or those standards that cannot be perceived by the 5 senses (such as employee morale and work ethics). In contrast, tangible standards are those that can be assessed using the five senses -- seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting, and touching.
