nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Land A/c Dr $1,459,920

Equipment A/c Dr $2,085,600

Building A/c Dr $1,668,480

To Cash A/c $2,607,000 ($5,214,000 × 50%)

To Notes payable A/c $2,607,000 ($5,214,000 × 50%)

(Being purchase of property is recorded)

The total property cost would be

= $4,700,000 + $185,000 + $218,000 + $111,000

= $5,214,000

Estimated value of land = $5,214,000 × 28% = $1,459,920

Estimated value of building = $5,214,000 × 40% = $2,085,600

Estimated value of equipment = $5,214,000 × 32% = $1,668,480

natulia [17]

Answer:

The depreciation expense by straight-line for 2020: $206,025
The depreciation expense by double-declining balance for 2021: $619,000
The depreciation expense by sum-of-the-years'-digits for 2021: $329,640

Explanation:

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($1,238,000 - $139,200) / 4 years = $274,700 yearly depreciation expense.

Depreciation expense by straight-line for 2020 will be (April 1, 2020 - Dec. 31, 2020): $274,700 / 12 x 9 = $206,025.

The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/4 years = 25%, then 25% multiplied by 2 to give 50% or simply 1/2

Depreciation expense under double-declining method at December 31, 2021: $1,238,000 x 1/2 = $619,000

Under the sum-of-the-years'-digits, the depreciation expense for 2021 will be calculated as follows: 3 / 10 = 30%.

10 was derived by 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 for Year 2020, 2021, etc

($1,238,000 - $139,200) x 30% = $329,640

encouraging the consumer to use stimulus generalization

adding new attributes to the product

encouraging the consumer to use stimulus discrimination

changing the importance of attributes

Answer:

changing the importance of attributes

Explanation:

Freshness dates shows for how long a drink can be considered to not have expired. For example Pepsi can be considered to give freshness from 6-9 months after the date printed on the bottle.

Pepsi spent about $25 million on advertising and promotion related to freshness dates. Initially freshness dates were only seen as important by a few people.

This resulted in 61 percent of cola drinkers now thinking it is important.

This exemplifies how importance of a product's attribute can be changed
