Remainder part of the question:

This turned out to be a very poor growth strategy because

A. the capital stock was increasing less rapidly than technology.

B. the amount of labor per unit of capital was increasing.

C. there were diminishing returns to capital.

D. the amount of capital per hour worked was decreasing

Answer:

Option C There were diminishing returns to capital.

Explanation:

The reason is that the investment gave diminishing returns which didn't covered its cost of capital (the cost that we pay to finance providers). This diminishing returns limited the investment in the forthcoming period and as result we see the fall of Soviet Union. So this option provides a better insight to the poor growth strategy. The investment must be in projects that generates greater value to the organization.

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

2013: 

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

2014: 

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation)

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

2015: 

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

2013:

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

2014: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

2015: 

Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value)

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000
