Answer: D. The actual value of the contract is less than $30 million for each year he plays.

Explanation:

Given that Mark sherzer will be paid $15 million per year for 14 years reflects a contract whose value at the time of signing is ($15 million × 14) = $210 million. However, the payment would not be paid at the of signing but spread over a period of 14 years with $15 million being splashed out annually. However, considering the time value of money, whereby the present value of a fixed amount decreases with time. Hence in actual sense, the $210 million face worth of the contract will actually be less than $30 million [$210/7(playing years)] as time progresses on the fixed amount paid yearly due to reduction in the value of the present value as time progresses.

forsale [732]

Answer:

$33,600

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But first we have to determined the following things

Depreciation rate

= 1 ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 0.1

It is double-declining so the rate is also double i.e. 0.20

Now in the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $40,000 × 0.20

= $8,000

Now in the second year, the depreciation is

= ($40,000 - $8,000) × 0.20

= $25,600

So, the accumulated depreciation at the end of 2019 is

= $8,000 + $25,600

= $33,600

Here the residual value is not relevant. hence, ignored it

mojhsa [17]

Over-employment is shown by points that lie outside the production possibility frontier. Underemployment on the other hand, is shown by points falling inside the production frontier.
