If a gain of $5,278 is realized in selling (for cash) office equipment having a book value of $50,852, find the total amount rep
Alina [70]

Answer:

B) $56,130

Explanation:

The cash flow statement shows how the company's operating, investing and financing activities affect the flow of cash by generation or use.

The investing activities section is where the purchase of fixed assets and the amount received for the disposal of these assets are accounted for.

Given that a gain was realized and the book value of  the asset was given, the amount received for the disposal

= $5,278 + $50,852

= $56,130

This is the amount that will be reported in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows as an inflow.

An investor contributes $10,000 to a limited partnership and signs a $40,000 recourse note. In the first year, the investor's di
kondaur [170]

Answer: The loss carried to the next year is $10,000

Explanation:

the initial investment = $10,000 contribution + $40,000 recourse note= $50,000 initial basis.

The income in the first year = $15,000

Therefore total sum basis = $50,000 initial investment + $15,000 income = $65,000

The cash distributed = $5,000

we deduct the cash distributed from the total sum basis

hence,

remaining basis = $65,000 - $5,000 = $60,000

since the loss = $70,000

therefore,

the remaining loss after the first year = $70,000 - $60,000 = $10,000

so $10,000 will be the unused loss carried to the next year.

The campground will make the most economic profit whenit has property rights to a clean lake . True or False: The fish cannery w
babymother [125]

Answer:

hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question

Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead,

The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.

Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.

Fish Cannery

Campground

Total

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

(Dollars)

No Recycling 2,000 1,000  

Recycling 1,500 1,800  

Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is   .

When the fish cannery uses the recycling method, the campground earns $1,800−$1,000=$800$1,800−$1,000=$800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the campground should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the fish cannery to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the fish cannery's economic profit by $2,000−$1,500=$500$2,000−$1,500=$500 per week. Therefore, the fish cannery should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $500 per week.

Suppose the campground has the property rights to the lake. That is, the campground has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method and will pay the campground   per week.

Now, suppose the fish cannery has the property rights to the lake, including the right to pollute it. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will   the recycling method, and the campground will pay the fish cannery   per week.

ANSWER

  • True
  • True

Explanation:

The campground will make the most economic profit when it has property rights to a clean lake : True. this is true because the Fish cannery will be using the recycling method and from the table it is seen that when the recycling method is used The Campground make the most economic profit
