Answer:

D. Any of the above, depending on the transactions

Explanation:

The double entry principle simply means that any accounting transaction has two records: one credit, and one debit, and it depends on the nature of the transaction, and of the accounts involved which specific value is credited and which one is debited.

For example, if a firm purchases 100$ of office supplies with cash, the credited account is cash, because cash is reduced by $100, while the office supplies account is debited by the same value.

If a firm sells 100$ of office supplies instead, the office supplies inventory is credited for this value, while the same amount of cash is debited for this same amount.

Answer:

(a) Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 $ 28,800

(b) Activity Method of Depreciation for 2020 $ 5,616

(d) Double declining balance depreciation for 2021 $ 39,096

Explanation:

Computation for requirement (a) - Straight Line Depreciation for 2020

Straight line method considers depreciation on adepreciable base after considering a salvage value and spreads it evenly over the life of the asset.

Cost of machine $ 162,900

Estimated Salvage Value $ 18.900

Depreciable Basis $ 144,000

Estimated Life 5 years

Straight Line Depreciation for 2020 = $ 144,000/5 = $ 28,800

Computation for requirement (b) - Activity Method Depreciation for 2020

Activity method depreciation considers depreciation over the estimated usage of the asset and multiplies by the usage in a given period. The depreciable basis is after considering the salvage value.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Usage Life of the machine 20,000 hours

Machine usage for 2020 780 hours

Depreciation on a per hour basis $ 144,000/ 20,000 = $ 7.2 per hour

Depreciation for 2020 on a usage of 780 hours = 780 * $7.20 = $ 5,616

Computation for requirement (c) - Sum of the years digits for 2021

In a sum of the years depreciation method, the sum of the life of the assets are added and considered as a depreciable life. The salvage value is considered in determining the depreciable basis.

Depreciable basis - same as SL depreciation $ 144,000

Estimated life of the asset 5 years

Sum of the years, (5+4+3+2+1) 15

so the first year depreciation shall be 5/15, the next year 4/15 and so on,

We need to compute the depreciation for 2021 which is the second year, so the formula shall be:

4/15 (remaining useful life) * $ 144,000(depreciable basis) = $ 38,400

Computation for requirement (d) - Double declining balance for 2021

In a double declining balance method the depreciation rate (%) is double that of a straight line method. The subsequent years depreciation is on a reduced balance. No salvage value is considered

The first year's depreciation is calculated

Cost of Machine* (2 * Straight Line depreciation %)

$ 162,900* (2 * 20 %) so the depreciation for 2020 would be

$ 162,900 * 40 % = $ 65,160.

For 2021, which is the requirement in our question, the cost would be the reduced value.

Original Cost of the machine $ 162,900

Double Declining balance Depreciation 2020 $ 65,160

Declining Cost basis for 2021 depreciation $ 97,740

Depreciation @ 40 % $ 39,096

he following information relates to a company’s aggregate production planning activities: Quarter Demand Forecast 1 37,500 2 45,

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

20,000 units

Explanation:

Number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3

= 3(42,500)

=127,500

Hence:

127,500- 37,500-45,000-25,000

= 20,000 units

Therefore if production strategy is used the number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3 is 20,000 units

Orange juice, a raisin bagel, and a cup of coffee from Kelly's Koffee Kart cost a total of $2.40. Kelly posts a notice annou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

orange juice 0.80 dollar

Bagel 1 dollar

coffe 0.60 dollar

Explanation:

We construct the equation system:

$\left \{ {A+B+C = 2.40} \atop {1.5A+1.2B+C = 3}} \right.$

We subtract one from another to get an expression without C:

1.5A+1.2B+C - (A+B+C) = 3 - 2.40

0.5A + 0.2B = 0.6

Then, we solve in the first part to express B as an expression of A

considering the coffe is worth half of the new cost of A

C = 1.5A / 2 = 0.75A

A + B + C = 2.40

A + B + 0.75A = 2.40

B = 2.40 - 1.75A

And now we replace in the other expression to get A:

0.5A + 0.2(2.40 - 1.75A) = 0.6

0.5A - 0.35A + 0.48 = 0.60

0.15A = 0.12

A = 0.12/0.15 = 0.8

Now we solve for C:

C = 0.75A = 0.6

Last, for B:

A + B + C = 2.40

0.8 + B + 0.6 = 2.40

B = 2.40 - 0.8 - 0.6 = 1

Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,200 sailboats per year, operating at normal capaci

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.

Because there will not be an increase in fixed costs, we will not have them into account.

Variable overhead= 90 - (78,000/1,200)= 25

Unitary variable cost= 100 + 80 + 25= 205

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.
