Answer: $250

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county and that he owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late.

We are further told that the county charges an annual penalty of 10%. The amount of the penalty for the four-month period goes thus:

Annual penalty = 10% × $7500

= 0.1 × $7500

= $750

Since he is four months late and there are twelve months in a year, this will be:

= $750 × 4/12

= $750 × 1/3

= $750/3

= $250

Rayya Co. purchases a machine for $105,000 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is taken each year for four years assu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account  $7,500

1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000

Explanation:

Rayya Co. uses straight-line depreciation method, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:

Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life = ($105,000 - $0)/7 = $15,000

In 2023, the machine is used for 6 months (half year)

Depreciation Expense = $15,000/2 = $7,500

Entry to record the partial year’s depreciation on July 1, 2023:

Debit Depreciation Expense $7,500

Credit Accumulated depreciation account  $7,500

On July 1, 2023, Accumulated depreciation = $15,000 x 4 + $7,500 = $67,500

Carrying amount of the machine = $105,000 - $67,500 = $37,500

(1) The machine is sold for $45,500 cash:

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $45,500 - $37,500 = $8,000>0

=> The company recognizes gain on the sales $8,000

Debit Cash $45,500

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Credit Gain on asset selling $8,000

Credit Machine asset $105,000

(2) The machine is sold for $25,000 cash

Sale price - Carrying amount of the machine = $25,000 - $37,500 = -$12,500<0

=> The company recognizes loss on the sales $12,500

The entry should be made:  

Debit Cash $25,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $67,500

Debit Loss on asset selling $12,500

Credit Machine asset $105,000

Last year Thomson Inc's earnings per share were $3.50, and its growth rate during the prior 5 years was 11.0% per year. If that
Semmy [17]

Answer:

10.52 years

Explanation:

We can work out the number of years using this relationship

V =P× (1+r)^n

V= tribe valeu  = 3×3.5 = 10.5

r-growth rate -11%

n- number of years- ?

10.5 = 3.5× (1.11)^n

<em>dividing both sides by 1.11^n</em>

1.11^n = 10.5/3.5

<em>taking the log of both sides</em>

n log 1.11 = log 3

n = log 3/log 1.11

n =10.52
