Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Depreciation in 2017:

=\frac{Original\ cost-Salvage\ value}{Useful\ life}\times time\ period

=\frac{50,000-8,000}{6}\times\frac{3}{12}

      = $1,750

Accumulated Depreciation = $29,400 + Depreciation in 2017

                                             =  $29,400 +  $1,750

                                             =  $31,150

Book value on date of sale = Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation

                                             = 50,000 - 31,150  

                                              = 18,850

Loss on sale = Book value on date of sale - Sales price

                     = 18,850 - 18,000

                     = $850 (Loss)

Answer:The answer is $2,600 loss

Explanation:

Cost - Salvage value /useful life

Cost = $50,000

Salvage value =$8,000

Useful life = 6years

50,000- 8,000/6

=42,000/6

= 7,000

Yearly depreciation will be $7,000

Since the accumulated depreciation had a balance of $29,400 on December 31,2016

Net Book value = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation

= 50,000 - 29,400

= 20,600

The disposal of equipment Account will be in T account as follows

Disposal of Equipment Account

Dr: Equipment cost $50,000

Cr: Provision for depreciation $29,400

Cr: Sale Proceed $18,000

Cr: profit & loss $2,600

Balance Dr: $50,000 Balance Cr: $50,000

Since the debit side of the equipment account is greater than credit side of the equipment account The company made a loss on the sale of the equipment of $2,600

Location Score
dolphi86 [110]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-

Composite score for A is

= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90

= 88.05

 Composite score for B is

= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96

= 90.91

Composite score for C is

= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95

= 87.90

Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C

b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B

This means that the company will incur an overhead cost of $1.30 for every $1 spent on direct materials.
