proprietorship

As the name suggests, a proprietorship (also called a sole proprietorship or sole trader) belongs to an individual. The owner receives all of the profits and is responsible for all of the losses. If the business shuts down, creditors (persons or organizations that loaned money to the business) may recover dues from the owner's personal assets. It is not possible for a sole proprietorship business to raise money from the capital market (stock market). A beauty parlor and a local mom-and-pop store are examples of proprietorships.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus

Explanation:

Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.

Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.

1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.

2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)

3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) & actual sale price ($199)

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of t

Luden [163]

Answer:

Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years.
Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 - $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560
Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 - $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353

Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.

Explanation:

(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.

(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850

At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590

At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3

At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737

At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 - $77,737) = $25,910

At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 - $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.

A company gives each of its 80 employees (assume they were all employed continuously through 2020 and 2021) 12 days of vacation

Olin [163]

Answer:

$157,440 ; $230,400

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For 2018

= Number of employees × number of vacations in a year × number of hours per day × wages per hour

= 80 employees × 12 days × 8 hours × $20.50

=$157,440

For 2021

= Number of employees × number of vacations in a year + number of vacations in a year - average of vacations × number of hours per day × wages per hour

= 80 employees × 12 days + 12 days - 9 days × 8 hours × $24

= $230,400
