Kangaroo Auto offers the better deal

If the I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Explanation:

Here we need to compare the present value of the two options;

Present value is the worth today of an amount or series of amount payable or receivable in the future period.

Where a series of equal amount is receivable or payable in the future it is called an annuity.

One of the payment options includes an annuity. Therefore, we need to work out the present value of the annuity. This is done using the following formula:

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

where A = equal cash flow, r- rate per period, n - no. of periods

A = 300, r- rate per month - 12%/12 = 1% , n= 30

PV = 300 ×(1- (1+0.01)^(-30))/0.01

= 300 × 25.877

=7,742.31

Now we can work out he cost of each option and comapare them in today's Dollar:

Option 1 : Kangaroo Autos

Total cost of option 1 = deposit + PV of annuity

= 1000 + 7,742.31

cost = 8,742.31

Option 2: Turtle Motors:

Price = Car price - Discount

= $10,000 - $1000

cost = $9,000

Kangaroo Auto offers a better deal.

If I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Mercury Inc. purchased equipment in 2019 at a cost of $400,000. The equipment was expected to produce 700,000 units over the nex

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

We know,

Annual depreciation rate under Units-of-production = Depreciable amount/Overall (expected) production

Given,

Purchase value = $400,000

Residual value = $50,000

Expected production = 700,000 units

Depreciable Amount = $(400,000 - 50,000) = $350,000

Annual depreciation rate = $350,000/700,000

Depreciation rate = $0.50

Thrrefore, Accumulated depreciation from 2019 to 2021 = (100,000 + 160,000 + 80,000)*$0.50

= $170,000

We know, Book value of asset = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation

Book value = $400,000 - $170,000 = $230,000

Again, Loss on sale of equipment = Book value - Sales price

Loss on sale of equipment = $230,000 - $210,000

Loss on sale of equipment = $20,000

The journal entry to record the sale =

Debit Cash $210,000

Debit Accumulated Depreciation $170,000

Debit Loss on sale $20,000

Credit Equipment $400,000
