Answer:

1. Vera = $400

2. Colin = $780

3. Messy = $54

4. Goyoh = $5,600

Explanation:

Requirement 1 & 2

1. Vera Dunhill's gross salary - 

Hourly income = $10

As she has worked 40 hours for the current week, the gross salary is as follows -

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = Number of hours worked × Hourly Income

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = 40 hours × $10 = $400.

2. Colin George's Gross Salary -

Hourly Income = $15

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 1.5 (for first 4 additional hours) = $22.5

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 2 (for further additional hours after 4 additional hours) = $30.

As Colin has worked for 47 hours, his gross salary is =

($15 × 40 hours) + ($22.5 × 4 hours) + ($30 × 3 hours)

= $780

Requirement 3 & 4

3. Messy's gross salary -

Peeling guavas at $2 per kilogram. As the Messy has peeled 27 kilogram guavas, his gross salary = $2 × 27 kilogram = $54

4. Goyoh's gross salary -

Basic Salary = $800

Commission = 4% of sales

Current year's sales = $120,000

It means, he will receive the basic salary and commission on sales as a gross salary.

Therefore, Gross Salary = $800 + ($120,000 × 4%)

Gross Salary = $800 + $4,800

Gross Salary = $5,600

For the job purpose, he will receive the basic salary and for the performance purpose, he will receive the commission as well.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The amount of depreciation expense the lessee should record for the first year of the lease is $108,000

Explanation:

To calculate the depreciation expense for each year the first thing you have to do is to substruct from the initial value the fair value at the end fo the lease, obtaining this way the depreciable amount.

For this case it would be:

$810,000 - $270,000= $540,000

Then you have to divide the depreciable amount by the years of the term the lease.

$540,000/5= $108,000
