Determining asset cost, preparing depreciation schedules (3 methods), and identifying depreciation results that meet management

objectives
On January 3, 2018, Rapid Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $100,000. Before placing the truck in service, Rapid spent $3,000 painting it, $600 replacing tires, and $10,400 overhauling the engine. The truck should remain in service for five years and have a residual value of $12,000. The truck’s annual mileage is expected to be 32,000 miles in each of the first four years and 8,000 miles in the fifth year—136,000 miles in total. In deciding which depreciation method to use, Andy Sargeant, the general manager, requests a depreciation schedule for each of the depreciation methods (straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining-balance).
Requirements
Prepare a depreciation schedule for each depreciation method, showing asset cost, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and asset book value.
Rapid prepares financial statements using the depreciation method that reports the highest net income in the early years of asset use, Consider the first year that Rapid uses the truck. Identify the depreciation method that meets the company’s objectives.

Answer:

total cost = $100,000 + $3,000 + $600 + $10,400 = $114,000

straight line depreciation expense = ($114,000 - $12,000) x 1/5 = $20,400

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $20,400                         $93,600

2                  $20,400                         $73,200

3                  $20,400                         $52,800

4                  $20,400                         $32,400

5                  $20,400                         $12,000

<u>RESULTS IN HIGHER INCOME DURING THE FIRST YEAR. </u>

<u />

units of production deprecation = ($114,000 - $12,000) / 136,000 = $0.75 per mile

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $24,000                         $90,000

2                  $24,000                         $66,000

3                  $24,000                         $42,000

4                  $24,000                         $18,000

5                  $6,000                           $12,000

double-declining-balance depreciation:

depreciation year 1 = $114,000 x 2/5 = $45,600

depreciation year 2 = $68,400 x 2/5 = $27,360

depreciation year 3 = $41,040 x 2/5 = $16,416

depreciation year 4 = $24,624 x 2/5 = $9,850

depreciation year 5 = $14,774 - $12,000 = $2,774

year       depreciation expense        book value

1                   $45,600                         $68,400

2                  $27,360                         $41,040

3                  $16,416                           $24,624

4                  $9,850                           $14,774

5                  $2,774                            $12,000

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n2 if heads comes up
storchak [24]

Answer:

$4

Explanation:

A geometric distribution is commonly known as a probability distribution that is used for the total number of Bernoulli trials computed till there is a successful trial. Therefore:

If X is the toss with the first head, then, it is a geometric distribution with p = 0.5. The payable amount (A) will be:

A = E(X^{2}) = (1+0.5)/(0.5)^2 = 1.5/0.25 = 6

If $10 is used to play the game, the loss will be 10-6 = $4 per game.

Why is Apple’s industry so competitive and how could this affect the ethical risks in Apple’s operations?
maw [93]

Answer:

Apple industry is the consumer goods technological sector.

Explanation:

This sector is very competitive because it tends to be very profitable, which means that it attracts a large number of skilled entrepreneurs and wokers who create high quality products that customers demand. This is specially true of the mobile phone sub-sector, with industry giants like Samsung and Huawei being in stiff competition with Apple.

Because of this, Apple faces several ethical risks: for one, it faces the risk of not practicing predatory pricing techniques like dumping in order to drive out competition, because this would be unfair not only to the other firms, but also to the other companies.

Another ethical risks would be more relevant for managers, and that is that managers should avoid to overestimate their ability to increase profits, because this may create false expectations on the board, on stockholders, and on the customers, leading to malinvestment, and other negative eocnomic consequences.
