Answer:

$6,545.45

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of building = $180,000

MACRS life of building = 27.5 years

Therefore, the amount of depreciation on the building is calculated by dividing the cost of building by MACRS life of building.

Amount of depreciation for the building:

= Cost of building ÷ MACRS life

= $180,000 ÷ 27.5

= $6,545.45

larisa [96]

Answer:

b. depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income.

Explanation:

A financial statement is a written report that quantitatively describes a firm's financial health. Under the financial statements is a cash-flow statement, which is used to record the cash inflow and cash equivalents leaving a business firm.

Cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.

An income statement comprises of the financial information about the income and expenses of an organization over a specific period of time.

Depreciation can be defined as the reduction of cost of a fixed asset systematically until the value of the asset becomes zero.

The Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) can be defined as a depreciation system that avails business owners or companies the ability and opportunity to recover or recoup the cost basis of physical assets that have experienced deterioration over a specific period of time.

In the United States of America, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is used mainly for tax purposes because it gives room for faster depreciation of a physical asset in its first years or initial usage and reduces depreciation as it is being used over a long period of time.

Generally, it can be deduced from an income statement that depreciation reduces both the pretax income and the net income of a business firm or an organization.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The answer is E. 12.22 percent.

Explanation:

The calculation for common-size percentage is: (Amount / Base amount) x 100.

On the balance sheet or financial position the base is total assets and on the income statement the base is net sales.

The common-size statement value of inventory will be:

Value of inventory/total assets.

Total assets = $2,600 + $920

=$3,520

Value of inventory = $430

Therefore, we have:

($430/$3,520) x 100

12.22percent.

Joe's income is $300. He can buy 2 goods – Food and Shelter. a. (5 points) Write the budget constraint and draw the budget line
GaryK [48]

The budget constrain is how much of each good can Joe's buy and it's given by:

Income = P_f * Q_f +P_s * Q_s  

P_f = Price_of_Food

Q_f = Quantity_of_Food

P_s = Price_of_Shelter

Q_s = Quantity_of_Shelter

In case a):

300 = 5*Q_f(a) + 100*Q_s

in case b):

300 = 10*Q_f(b) + 100*Q_s

To draw each line, you can make a graphic in which the x axis is Q_s and y axis is Q_f

set Q_f = 0 and solve for Q_s which gives => Q_s = 3 so, in the x axis the line will start in Q_s = 3

the same, and solve for Q_f and it'll give =>

Q_f(a) = 60

Q_f(b) = 30

So, from the start in x axis in Q_s = 3 you draw the line (a) to the y axis Q_f(a) = 60 and you draw the line (b) to the y axis Q_f(b) = 30

To get the oportunity cost you have to divide the cost of what is given up (food) by what is gained (shelter).

Oportunity_Cost_Food(a) = 5/100 = 0.05

Oportunity_Cost_Food(b) = 10/100 = 0.10

As you can see, the oportunity cost of food increase
