Why might these sources of individual values not prove very helpful when making complex business decisions
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The first part of the question is missing:

"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."

To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.

But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.

When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Sheridan Co.

a. It is not necessary to correct the prior year's depreciation.  Depreciation is an accounting estimate and does not require the adjustment of prior year's accounts when there is a correction in its estimates.

b. Entry to record depreciation for 2021:

Debit Depreciation Expense $4,387

Credit Accumulated Depreciation $4,387

To record the depreciation expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase of machinery in 2016 = $64,200

Original estimated useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $4,280

Depreciation amount = $59,920 ($64,200 - $4,280)

Depreciation expense per year = $7,490 ($59,920/8)

Accumulated depreciation for 5 years = $37,450

Net book value = $26,750 ($64,200 - $37,450)

Remaining estimated useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = $4,815

New depreciable amount = $21,935 ($26,750 - $4,815)

Depreciation expense per year = $4,387 ($21,935/5)
