On January​ 2, 2019, Kaiman Corporation acquired equipment for​ $700,000. The estimated life of the equipment is 5 years or​ 80,
disa [49]

Answer:

$272,000

Explanation:

Accumulated depreciation is the sum of depreciation expense.

Depreciation is a method of expensing the cost of an asset.

Depreciation expense using the straight line depreciation method = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($700,000 - $20,000) / 5 = $136,000

The straight line depreciation method Deprecation allocates the same deprecation expense each year of the useful life of an asset.

The depreciation expense in 2019 and 2020 would be $136,000 x 2 = $272,000

I hope my answer helps you

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234

When you first started your new business, you were so excited about the large volume of orders you had. One year later, you find
ioda
I would suggest it would most likely to be either A or B or both, however if I had to pick one I would go for A.

A - The question suggests you may have been putting more effort and <span>enthusiasm</span> into sales of the products for your new business "<span>you were so excited about the large volume of orders you had" which may mean after your first year of business you may have started to slack of or get complacent with putting you business out there marketing wise, also when launching a product for the first time people are interested in the new and latest thing (such as a new business) after a while people start to forget unless you have marketing and advertising to remind them.
</span>
B - If the product you offer is unique and you were the first business to sale this / these items then after a year it is possible other competitors have started to copy you however this would completely depend on the products you sale.

C - Given you already had large orders in the first year people are happy to pay for the products you offer so this would exclude C.

D - If you have already had many orders in the first year people obviously want the products you sale even if you only sale 1 or 2 things so unlikely to be D.

romanna [79]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $197,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $1,040,000

Residual value= $55,000

Useful life in years= 5

<u>Under the straight-line method, the annual depreciation is the same during the useful life of the machine. To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (1,040,000 - 55,000)/5= $197,000
