Answer: Option D

Explanation: Depreciation refers to the wearing and tearing of asset that occurs due to the usage of it. This is usually calculated on fixed assets having finite useful life.

Therefore, depreciation can occur only after the asset is put into use for business operations and is generating revenue to the company. In the given case the asset purchased has been into use on February 1 , year 2, therefore depreciation should begin from this date.

A stock has a beta of 1.12 and an expected return of 10.8 percent. A risk-free asset currently earns 2.7 percent. a. What is the
love history [14]

Answer:

6.75%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Beta of the stock = 1.12

Expected return = 10.8% = 0.108

Return of risk free asset = 2.7% = 0.027

Now,

Since it is equally invested in two assets

Therefore,

both will have equal weight = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

Thus,

Expected return on a portfolio = ∑(Weight × Return)

= [ 0.5 × 10.8% ] + [ 0.5 × 2.7% ]

= 5.4% + 1.35%

= 6.75%

Masja [62]

Answer:

$69,000

Explanation:

The double-declining method uses twice the rate of the straight-line depreciation method.  

In this case, we need to determine the depreciation rate under the straight-line method. The asset has a useful life of 5 years.

the depreciation rate = 1/5 x 100

=0.2 x 100

=20%

The Depreciation rate for the double-declining method is 40%. The straight-line method considers salvage value at the beginning, but double-declining depreciates until the salvage value.

In the first year under the double-declining method, the depreciation amount was $27,600.

It means 40% of the asset cost is $27,600.

The asset cost is 100%

40%=$27,600

100% = 27,600/40 x 100

=$690 x 100

=$69,000

Asset cost = $69,000
