Wallen Corporation is considering eliminating a department that has an annual contribution margin of $80,000 and $160,000 in ann
krok68 [10]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

We need to find the segment margin of the deparment, which is equal to annual contribution margin minus avoidable fixed costs:

Wallen Corporation

Annual contribution margin            $80,000

Annual fixed costs                           $160,000

Unavoidable fixed costs                 $90,000

Avoidable fixed costs                     $70,000

Segment Margin  = Annual contribution margin - avoidable fixed costs

                             = $80,000 - $70,000

                             = $10,000

Therefore, if the company eliminated this department, it would have a financial advantage of $10,000, equivalent to the deparment's current segment margin.

Adkins Bakery uses the modified halfminusmonth convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is $9187.5.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Asset cost = $140,000

Residual value = $42,000

Life period = 8 years

So, Annual depreciation can be calculated by using following method:

Annual depreciation = ( Asset cost - Residual value) ÷ Life period

= ($140,000 - $42,000) ÷ 8

= $12,250

As depreciation is to be recorded till Dec.31

So, total time period = Apr - Dec = 9 months

So, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 = $12,250 × (9 ÷ 12)

= $9,187.5

Hence, Depreciation expense till Dec.31 is $9,187.5.
