Answer:
The correct answer is Double-declining-balance. The highest net income in year 2 is 6000.
This higher net income don´t mean the machine was used more efficiently under this depreciation method.
Explanation:
In the file attached you will find a depreciation schedule for each of the alternative methods.
Each method need different calculus.
Straight-line
depreciation expense=(Original Value -Residual Value)/Useful life=
depreciation expense=4400
Units-of-production
estimated productive life 10000
Units of Production Rate=(Original Value -Residual Value)/estimated productive life=2,2
Double-declining-balance.
Depreciation rate = 1/useful life *100= 20,00%
Answer:
$20,700
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Net Income = $25,100
Cash Provided by Operations = $32,500
Cash Sales = $64,600
Capital Expenditures = $9,600
Dividends Paid = $2,200
Now,
Swifty’ Free cash flow
= Cash Provided by Operations - Capital Expenditures - Dividends Paid
Thus,
Swifty’ Free cash flow = $32,500 - $9,600 - $2,200
or
Swifty’ Free cash flow = $20,700
Answer:
D. Debit to Dividends Payable.
Explanation:
The first thing we have to keep in mind is that dividends are liabilities, that is, they represent cash outflows for the corporation. In the example, we can distinguish two moments: the declaration of a cash dividend and its effective distribution. Next, we will analyze them from an accounting point of view:
- On July 15, 2014, Benson Company declared a cash dividend. In accounting terms, on that day the “Retained Earnings” account was debited. Remember that this account is the one that records the profits that the company has obtained to date. So, what was done was to <em>subtract</em> that part that is to be distributed among stockholders. This amount is then transferred to a current liability account called “Dividends Payable”. In this case, money was <em>added</em>, therefore, the account was credited.
- On August 15 dividends were distributed. That day, the "Dividends Payable" account was debited, or, in other words, its money was <em>discounted</em>, because it is now in the hands of shareholders.
Answer:
Basic earning per share $0.21 per share
Explanation:
Basic Earning per share = ( Net Income - Preferred stock dividend ) / Weighted Average outstanding shares
Basic Earning per share = ( $200,000 - $50,000 ) / 700,000
Basic Earning per share = $150,000 / 700,000
Basic Earning per share = $0.2143 / share
Weighted average Outstanding shares = 500,000 + 200,000
Weighted average Outstanding shares = 700,000 shares
