Answer:

$720

Explanation:

Given that,

Principal = $36,000

Rate = 6% per year

Note issued by West carried an 18-month term.

Time period: 1st September to December = 4 Months

Interest expense = Principal × Rate × Time period

= 36,000 × 6% × (4 ÷ 12)

= $720

Therefore, the amount of interest expense appearing on West's 2016 income statement would be $720.

A process control system costs $200,000, has a three year service life, and a salvage value of $20,000. Find the depreciation an
Advocard [28]

Answer:

A.

Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $140,000

Book value at the end of year 2 =$80,000

Book value at the end of year 3 =  $20,000

B.

Depreciation expense in year 1 =$90,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 =$60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 =$30,000

Book value at the end of year 1 =$110,000

Book value at the end of year 2 = $50,000

Book value at the end of year 3 =  $20,000

C.

Depreciation expense in year 1 = $133,333.33

Book value at the end of year 1 = $66,666.67

Depreciation expense in year 2 =  $44,444.45

Book value at the end of year 2 = $22,222.22

Depreciation expense in year 3 = $14,814.16

Book value at the end of year 3 = $7,407.40

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($200,000 - $20,000) / 3 = $60,000

Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $60,000 = $140,000

Book value at the end of year 2 =  $140,000 - $60,000 = $80,000

Book value at the end of year 3 = $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000

Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

Sum of the years = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 years

Depreciation expense in year 1 = (3/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $90,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 = (1/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $30,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $90,000 = $110,000

Book value at the end of year 2 = $110,000 - $60,000 = $50,000

Book value at the end of year 3 = $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/3

Depreciation expense in year 1 = (2/3) x $200,000 = $133,333.33

Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $133,333.33 = $66,666.67

Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/3) x $66,666.67 = $44,444.45

Book value at the end of year 2 = $66,666.67 - $44,444.45= $22,222.22

Depreciation expense in year 3 = (2/3) x$22,222.22 = $14,814.16

Book value at the end of year 3 =$22,222.22 - $14,814.16 = $7,407.40

Most economists believe that prices are:
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: Most economist believe that prices are flexible in the long run but many are sticky in the short run.

Explanation:

Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.

Zena Technology sells arc computer printers for $54 per unit. Unit product costs are:
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Minimum selling price is $ 37

Explanation:

Computation of minimum selling price

Direct materials per unit                                       $ 15

Direct labour per unit - existing       $ 19

Additional for modification               <u>$  3</u>        

Direct Labor per unit                                             <u>$ 22</u>

Variable cost per unit                                            $ 37

Since the Company has sufficient idle capacity to produce the additional order, no incremental fixed manufacturing capacity is considered.

The minimum selling price should be one which covers the variable costs ( modified for labor increase)
