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

The Missing Link Chain-Link Fence Company is trying to determine how many chain-link fabricating machines to buy for its factory
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Explanation:

What is given:

The price of a new fabricating machine - 60

The price of a one-year-old machine - 51

The real interest rate is 10% per year

Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)

If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%

a) Find user cost of capital

User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine

= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units

b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit

165-2K=15

2K = 150

K = 75 machines

c)

Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?

165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)

165-2K=14/0.6

165-2K=25

2K=140

K=70 macines
