Answer:

Jarett Motors

The $4,000 of annual operating costs are an example of an

a. opportunity cost

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                        Old machine    New machine

Original cost                                        $9,000              $20,000

Accumulated depreciation                    5,000              0

Annual cash operating costs                9,000                  4,000

Current salvage value of old machine 2,000

Salvage value in 10 years                         500                  1,000

Remaining life                                        10 yrs                  10 yrs

b) The annual operating costs are an example of opportunity cost because the alternative with the old machine will incur an annual operating cost of $9,000 instead of $4,000 with the new machine.  This will translate to a forgone benefit of $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000) in cost saving if the new machine is purchased.

On December 1, 2021, Sheridan Company issued 770 of its 9%, $1,000 bonds at 102. Attached to each bond was one detachable stock
Helen [10]

Solution :

The cash received on the issue of the bond    785,400    $=770 \times 1000 \times 102\%$

The bond market value without warrant           731,500     $=770\times 1000 \times 95\%$

Bond total par value                                            770,000    $=770\times 1000$

The initial carrying value of the bon payable    $ 746,130    $=\frac{731,500 \times 785,400}{770,000}$

  Thus the initial carrying would be = $ 746,130

Salvage value was ignored when originally calculating the units-of-production depreciation. This error would cause A. the period
elena-s [515]
I think the correct answer would be that the period's net income that is calculated would be overstated. Not accounting the salvage would mean that the calculated income is too much of what it really is since the depreciation value is miscalculated. Hope this helps.
