Answer:

A

Explanation:

The privately-owned school system in Smalltown generates  positive externality to members of SmalltownA good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

The free rider problem is a form of market failure. It occurs when people benefit from a good or service of communal nature and do not pay to enjoy these services.

The free rider has caused a decline in revenues and did not cause the private market to undersupply education to the community

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $38,880. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 5
finlep [7]

Answer:

See explanation section.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

We know,

Depreciation expense under the straight-line method = (Cost price - residual value) ÷ useful life

The depreciation expense under the straight-line method remains same in every year.

December 31, Year 1 - depreciation expense = ($38,880 - $1,080) ÷ 3 years.

Depreciation expense = ($37,800 ÷ 3)

Depreciation expense = $12,600

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $12,600 × 9 ÷ 12

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $9,450

Requirement 2

The depreciation expense under the straight-line method remains the same every year.

Year 2 depreciation expense = ($38,880 - $1,080) ÷ 3 years = $12,600

Year 3 depreciation expense = ($38,880 - $1,080) ÷ 3 years = $12,600

Year 4 depreciation expense = ($38,880 - $1,080) ÷ 3 years = $12,600

The equipment will be dissolved after 4 year with a residual value of $1,080.

Requirement 3

The depreciation expense under units-of-activity method = [(Cost price - residual value) ÷ Total operating hours] × usage during the period.

Given,

Cost price = $38,880

residual value = $1,080

Total operating hours =  5,400

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Depreciation expense rate = ($38,880 - $1,080) ÷  5,400

Depreciation expense rate = $37,800 ÷ 5,400

Depreciation expense rate = $7 per hour.

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $7 per hour × 1,000

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $7,000

Requirement 4

We get from requirement 3

Depreciation expense rate = $7 per hour.

Year 2 Depreciation expense = $7 per hour.

Depreciation expense for year 2 = $7 per hour × 1,900 hour.

Depreciation expense for year 2 = $13,300 hour.

Year 3 Depreciation expense = $7 per hour.

Depreciation expense year 3 = $7 per hour ×  1,600 hour.

Depreciation expense year 3 = $11,200 hour.

Year 4 Depreciation expense = $7 per hour.

Depreciation expense year 4 = $7 per hour ×  900 hour.

Depreciation expense year 4 = $6,300 hour.

Requirement 5

Depreciation rate under the double-declining-balance method = (100% ÷ useful life) ÷ 2

Depreciation rate = (100% ÷ 3 years) × 2

Depreciation rate = 66.67%

Depreciation expense for year 1 = cost price × depreciation rate

Given,

cost price = $38,880

depreciation rate = 66.67%

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Depreciation expense for year 1 = cost price × depreciation rate

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $38,880 × 66.67%

Depreciation expense for year 1 = $25,921

Requirement 6

In double-declining-balance method, depreciation expense is decreasing.

Book value of year 1 after depreciation = Cost price - year 1 depreciation expense =  $38,880 - $25,921 = $12,959

Depreciation expense for year 2 = Book value of year 1 × depreciation rate.

Depreciation expense for year 2 = ($12,959 × 66.67%) = $8,640

Book value of year 2 after depreciation = Book value of year 1 - Depreciation expense for year 2 = $12,959 - $8,640 = $4,319

Depreciation expense for year 3 = Book value of year 2 × depreciation rate.

Depreciation expense for year 3 = $4,319 × 66.67% = $2,879.50

Book value of year 3 after depreciation = Book value of year 2 - Depreciation expense for year 3 = $4,319 - $2,879.50 = $1,439.5

Depreciation expense for year 4 = Book value of year 3 × depreciation rate.

Depreciation expense for year 4 = $1,439.5 × 66.67% = $960

Lansing, Inc. provides the following information for one of its department's operations for June (no new material is added in De
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Given

Beginning inventory units = 15,000 units

Beginning Inventory Completed = 60% completed

Current work = 35,000 units started

Ending inventory = 5,000 units

Ending inventory completed = 20% completed

Using FIFO, the production cost report is as follows

First, we determine the physical flow of units;.

This is listed out as follows;

Beginning WIP Inventory: 15,000 units

Unit started this period: 35,000 units

Total units to account for = 50,000 units

Units completed and transferred out: 45,000 units

Ending WIP Inventory: 5,000 units

Total accounted units: 50,000 units

Unit completed and transferred out is calculated by;

Total units to account for - Ending WIP Inventory

= 50,000 units - 5,000 units

= 45,000 units

Calculating the EUP (Equivalent Unit of Production)

Equivalent Unit to complete beginning WIP Inventory

Direct Materials: 15,000 (100% - 100%) = 0 EUP (Direct)

Conversions: 15,000 (100% - 60%) = 6,000 EUP (Conversion)

Equivalent Unit started and completed: 30,000 EUP (Direct)

Equivalent Unit started and completed: 30,000 EUP (Conversion)

Equivalent Unit in ending WIP Inventory:

Direct: 5,000 units * 100% = 5,000 EUP (Direct)

Conversion: 5,000 * 20% = 1,000 EUP (Conversion)

Total Equivalent Unit of Production: 0 EUP + 30,000 EUP + 5,000 EUP = 35,000 EUP (Direct)

Total Equivalent Unit of Production: 6,000 EUP + 30,000 EUP + 1,000 EUP = 37,000 EUP (Conversion)

Note that;

Equivalent Unit started and completed is calculated as follows;

Total Units account for (45,000) - Beginning Unit (15,000) = 30,000 EUP
