Depreciation expense - Buildings Debit $ 578,200

Allowance for depreciation - Buildings Credit $ 578,200

Explanation:

Computation for Depreciation expense for the year

Equipment Jan 01 2020 $ 48,670,000 for 4 months @ 10 %

Sales - May 01 2020 $( 840,000)

Adjusted balance May 01 2020 $ 47,830,000 for 2 months @ 10 %

Purchases July 01 2020 $ 2,480,000

Adjusted balance July 01 2020 $ 50,310,000 for 6 months @ 10 %

Depreciation expense for 4 months = $ 48,670,000*10 % *4/12 = $1,622,333

Depreciation expense for 2 months = $ 47,830,000*10 % *2/12 = $ 797,167

Depreciation expense for 6 months = $ 51,310,000*10 % *6/12 =$ 2,565,500

Total depreciation equipment $ 4,985,000

Depreciation on buildings $ 28,910,000 * 2 % $ 578,200

Depreciation has to be recorded for full year on assets retired on December 31 2020

Computation of gain and loss on sale of equipment

Cost of equipment purchased on January 1 2016 $ 840,000

Depreciation rate 10 %

Equipment sold on May 01 2020

Depreciation charged for 4 years and 3 months @ 10 %

$ 840,000 * 4.33 *10 % $ 363,720

Net book value of equipment disposed on May 01 2020 $ 476,280

Sale value of equipment $ 504,000

Gain on sale of equipment $ (27,720 )

The gain on sale of land is the difference between the cost and sales proceeds since land is not depreciated

What is the Porter's 5 forces model?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Created by a Professor Michael E. Porter, from Harvard, this model explains the various forces applied to a business.

Competition in the industry : Are there competitors in the industry? If so, are they numerous and weak or is the industry dominated by a few major players?

Potential of new entrants into the industry : What's the risk of having new competition? If you are selling a product, can you protect it with a patent for example?

Power of suppliers : Can the suppliers of what you need easily affect the prices? It's basically asking if there is competition in your suppliers' market.

Power of customers : That related to your customer base. If your customer base is large, chances are no individual will be able to force your price down. But if you are dealing with a limited number of customers, one of them might force you to lower your prices.

Threat of substitute products: Is there any comparable product/service offered at a lower cost that might bring your prices down?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $30.23.

Explanation:

The total return on a stock is made up of dividend received on the stock plus the capital gain received from selling the stock. The holding period is one year that means a 10% return on the amount invested in required for one year. We need to calculate the present value of the total of selling price plus the dividend to calculate the price of the stock today. As 10% return is required, the discount rate is also 10%.

PV = (1.25 + 32) / 1.1

PV = 30.227 rounded off to 30.23
