Answer:

I got the information from Apple's Form 10-K reported by the SEC.

1. How many shares of Apple common stock are issued and outstanding at (a) September 30, 2017, and (b) September 24, 2016?

2016: 5,470,820  shares

2017: 5,217,242  shares

2. What is the total amount of cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the years ended (a) September 30, 2017, and (b) September 24, 2016?

2016: $12 billion paid in dividends

2017: $12.6 billion paid in dividends

3. Identify basic EPS amounts for fiscal years (a) 2017 and (b) 2016.

2016: $8.35 per share

2017: $9.27 per share

4. Is Apple’s EPS on a favorable or unfavorable trend from 2016 to 2017?

favorable since it increased from $8.35 to $9.27, or 11%

5. If Apple buys back outstanding shares from investors, would you expect EPS to increase or decrease from the buyback?

EPS should increase since the total amount of outstanding shares will decrease. Wen you are calculating a fraction, if the denominator decreases, the value of the fraction increases. Apple has excess cash, so it can afford to buy back shares without affecting its normal operations.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $32,812.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The equipment cost $200,000 and had an estimated life of 8 years and a salvage value of $25,000.

<u>To calculate the annual depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

2015:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(200,000 - 25,000) / 8]

Annual depreciation= $43,750

2016:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(175,000 - 43,750) / 8]

Annual depreciation= $32,812.5

A corporation purchased manufacturing equipment for $100,000, with an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The second year’s depreciation for this equipment using the straight line method is 8,500

Explanation:

Depreciation: Depreciation is a decreasing value of the assets due to the tear & wear, obsolescence, usage,etc.

The formula to compute the depreciation under straight lie method is shown below:

= \dfrac{(original\ cost - salvage\ value)}{useful\ life}

= = \dfrac{(\$100,000 - \$15,000)}{10}

= $8,500

The depreciation amount under straight line method should remain same over the estimated useful life

So, the second year’s depreciation for this equipment is $8,500

The demand for one of X Company’s products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$230,000

Revised Question:

The demand for one of X Company's products has declined in recent years. The product is manufactured using designated equipment that originally cost $1,300,000 and has a carrying value of $720,000. As of the current date, December 31, 2012, it is expected that only an additional 400,000 units are likely to be sold over the remaining life of the equipment. Each unit sells for $3 and has a manufacturing cost of $1.50. Relevant information as of December 31, 2018:

The undiscounted future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment is expected to be $600,000.

The present value of the future cash inflows from the sale of products over the life of the equipment, calculated at the company's cost of capital, is $475,000.

The equipment has a fair value of $490,000 on the date of evaluation.

How much of an impairment loss will X Company recognize in 2018?

Explanation:

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets states that company's or entity's assets can not be carried at more than their Recoverable Amount

<em>Recoverable Amount</em> equals to higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use

<em>Value in Use</em> is net present value (NPV) of future cashflows generated by an asset.

Lets calculate the Recoverable amount of the equipment of Company X:

Fair Value less Cost of disposal = $490,000 - 0 = $490,000

Value in Use = discounted future cashflows from equipment =  $475,000

<em>So Recoverable Amount is higher of Fair Value less cost of disposal and Value in Use i.e $490,000</em>

<h3>Impairment Loss = Carrying Value - Recoverable Amount </h3><h3>                              = $720,000 - $490,000</h3><h3>                              = $230,000</h3>
