Answer: A. Depreciation Expense and credits a contra-asset account.

Explanation:

Depreciation is an expense which means that when it is incurred, it will be debited because expenses are debited to show that they have increased.

Depreciation reduces the value of an asset so the asset needs to be credited which is what is done when an asset reduces. The full entry would therefore involved a debit to the Depreciation account and a credit to the asset account that is being depreciated.

anzhelika [568]

Answer: $18

Explanation:

Based on the information,

Sales revenue = $65 × 225 = $14625

Cost of goods sold = (45 × $20) + (1125 × $4) + (225 × $14) + (225 × $9)

= $900 + $4500 + $3150 + $2025

= $10575

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost

= $14625 - $10575

= $4050

The gross profit for one chainsaw will be:

= $4050/225

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

D. $6,000

Explanation:

The book value of a new asset includes the purchase price and other related costs that make it ready for use. For Woodstock company, the book value of the new machine will be the buying price of 40,000 plus 1000 transport costs.

Book value = $41,000

The straight-line depreciation method charges equal amounts throughout the life of the asset.

The depreciable amount = asset value - salvage value

=$41,000 - $5000

=$36,000

The depreciation rate = 1/6 x 100

=16.66 %

Annual depreciation = 16.66% x $36,000

=16.66/100 x $36,000

=0.16667 x $36,000

=$6,000
