Answer and Explanation:

The impairment loss held on the assets would be recorded as an expense and if there is any impairment loss of any earlier period with respect to the revalued asset so it would be adjusted to the down value of the asset and if there is any balance left over so it would be charged as an expense

Now in the case when there is any revaluation of the impaired asset held in the next period so it would be recorded in the income statement and if there is any balance left so it would be recorded as a revaluation reserve

So it would have to park the rising value of the asset

A stockbroker predicts whether a stock will go up or down by tossing a coin and so has a 50% chance of making a correct predicti
kolezko [41]

Answer:

A skilled  broker will be right at  60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X  be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us  = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .

Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products. Forbes Division, which has $
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a. What is Forbes Division's residual income if Oscar does not acquire the new machine?

residual income = $3,550,000 - ($6,160,000 x 12%) = $2,810,800

b. What is Forbes Division's residual income this year if Oscar acquires the new machine?

residual income = $70,000 - ($9,190,000 x 12%) = -$1,032,800

c. If Oscar acquires the new machine and operates it according to specifications, what residual income is expected for next year?

residual income = $5,167,000 - ($5,833,000 x 12%) = $4,467,040

In order to calculate net income, I assumed other depreciation remained the same for both years.

Explanation:

residual income = net income - (capital x cost of capital)

if new machine is not purchased:

net income = $3,550,000

cost of capital = 12%

capital = ($4,060,000 + $5,080,000) - depreciation $2,980,000 = $6,160,000

if new machine is purchased, current year's residual income

net income = $3,550,000 - $3,480,000 loss on disposal = $70,000

capital = ($4,060,000 + $5,080,000 + $6,510,000) - $5,080,000 - $1,380,000 = $9,190,000

if new machine is purchased, calculations for next year

net income:

sales revenue $17,754,000

variable costs ($2,010,000)

Fixed (all cash) ($7,220,000)

depreciation new machine ($1,977,000)

depreciation other ($1,380,000)

loss on disposal new machine ($3,480,000)

net income = $5,167,000

cost of capital = 12%

capital = ($2,680,000 + $6,510,000) - depreciation ($1,380,000 + $1,977,000) = $5,833,000

residual income = $5,167,000 - ($5,833,000 x 12%) = $4,467,040
