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 fixed asset with a five-year estimated useful life and no scrap value is sold at the end of the second year of its useful life
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

B) A gain would be less or a loss would be greater using straight-line depreciation.

Explanation:

In straight line method of depreciation there is a fixed amount of depreciation,  and in double declining method the rate is double of straight line method,

Let us take an example,

Cost of asset = $500,000

Selling price at end of 2nd year = $300,000

Straight line depreciation = $100,000 for each year i.e. $500,000/5

Double declining method rate = ($100,000/$500,000) \times 100 \times 2 = 40%

Therefore value at end of second year

Straight line = $500,000 - ($100,000 \times 2 ) = $300,000

Double Declining method = ($500,000 -40%) - 40% = $180,000

In case of sale at $300,000

Profit shall be

Straight line = $300,000 - $300,000 = 0

Double Declining = $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000

Now, there will be more profit in double declining that is gain is less in straight line and losses would be greater in straight line thus statement B is correct.

Vance has a vested account balance in his employer-sponsored qualified profit-sharing plan of $40,000. He has two years of servi
Maurinko [17]

Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

Per the requirements of qualified plans that permit loans, the maximum amount that an individual can withdraw is whichever is lesser between $50,000 and 50% of their Vested Account Balance.

Vance in this scenario has a vested account balance of $40,000.

50% of that would be $20,000.

That means that he can be loaned $20,000. However, he already has an outstanding loan balance that must be accounted for of 15,000.

Subtracting those figures we have,

= 20,000 - 15,000

= $5,000

The maximum loan that Vance can take from the qualified plan is $5,000

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

A. $16,195

B. $7,621

C. $23,816

Explanation:

a. Computation for the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.

Inventory value of the units unsold

First step is to calculate the Total inventory value

Inventory cost $31,500

(70 * $450)

Add Freight $890

Total inventory value $32,390

($31,500+$890)

Now let calculate the Inventory value of the units unsold

Inventory value of units unsold =($32,390 / 2)

Inventory value of units unsold =$16,195

Therefore the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee is $16,195

b. Computation for the profit for the consignor for the units sold

Sales $25,900

(35 * $740)

Less Cost of unit sold ($16,195)

($32,390 / 2)

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Profit for the consignor $7,621

Therefore the profit for the consignor for the units sold will be $7,621

c. Computation for the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.

Sales $25,900

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Cash remitted $23,816

Therefore the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee is $23,816
