Answer:

2nd January

Dr Machinery              $178,000

  Cr Cash                    $178,000

( to record the purchase of used machine)

3rd January

Dr Machinery              $4,000

  Cr Cash                    $4,000

(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).  

Explanation:

- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.

- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The owner thinks that 10,000 pizzas could be sold per month by cutting the selling price per pizza from $ 5.50 a pizza to $ 5.00.

Total revenues – Total costs = Monthly profit 5,000 pizzas 13750 – 8000 =

I will assume that at $5.50 the total sales in units are 5000. And that the variable cost per unit is $2.75 ($13750/5000) and fixed cost are $8000

Actual profit= (5000*5.5- 5000*2.75) - 8000= $5750

New price profit= (10000*5 - 10000*2.75) - 8000= $14500

Novak Corp. bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $390000 and had an expected salvage value of $35000. The lif
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$177,000

Explanation:

In order to find the book value of the equipment we need to find the amount of depreciation per year. To do this we need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then simply divide by 5 which is the life span of the equipment...

(390,000 - 35,000) / 5 = x

355,000 / 5 = x

71,000 = x

Now we see that the equipment will depreciate by $71,000 per year. In three years the depreciation would be

71,000 * 3 = 213,000

Now we simply subtract this value from the initial cost to get the book value in the third year

390,000 - 213,000 = 177,000
