Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

Dollar Co. sold merchandise to Pound Co. on account, $25,500, terms 2/15, net 45. Pound Co. paid the invoice within the discount

aniked [119]

Answer:

$24,990

Explanation:

2/15 net 45 means that if the customer pays within the period of 15 days, he will get the discount of 2% of invoice amount, otherwise he has to pay the whole amount of invoice within the period of 45 days.

In the given scenario, since the Pound Co. has paid the invoice within the discount period, so therefore, the Pound Co. has availed the discount of 2% and accordingly the sales amount shall be recorded as follows:

Sales amount=Invoice amount*98%

=$25,500*98%

=$24,990

Depreciation Methods A delivery truck costing $22,000 is expected to have a $2,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life o

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a. $5,000

b. $5,500

c. $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year is shown below:

a) Straight-line method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($22,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($20,000) ÷ (4 years)

= $5,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

(b) Double-declining balance method:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 25%

Now the rate is double So, 50%

In year 1, the original cost is $22,000, so the depreciation is $11,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $11,000 × 50% = $5,500

(c) Units-of-production method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production)

= ($22,000 - $2,000) ÷ ($100,000 miles)

= ($20,000) ÷ ($100,000 miles)

= $0.2 per miles

Now for the second year, it would be

= Production units in second year × depreciation per miles

= 30,000 miles × $0.2

= $6,000
