Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

a. Opportunity cost = $41,000

b

Working as dispatcher = Dispatcher pays + (Earn Percentage return × Opportunity cost)

= $32,000 + (9% × $41,000)

= $32,000 + $3,690

= $35,690

 Yes, Mr Dowd would sell the taxi and accept the position as a role of dispatcher

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

$42

Explanation:

Data provided as per the requirement of contribution margin per hour of machine time is here below:-

Unit Contribution Margin = $21

Machine Time required by fancy lamp = 0.50 hours

The computation of contribution margin per hour of machine time is shown below:-

Contribution Margin Per Hour of machine time = Unit Contribution Margin ÷ Machine Time required by fancy lamp

= $21 ÷ 0.50 hours

= $42

Therefore for computing the contribution margin per hour of machine time we simply divide the unit contribution margin by machine time required by fancy lamb.

A company purchased a piece of equipment for $50,000 and the equipment has an expected useful life of five years. Its residual v
Simora [160]

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of equipment = $50,000

Expected useful life = 5 years

Estimated residual value = $4,000

Depreciation refers to the fall in the value of fixed assets with the passage of time.

Here, we are using double-declining-balance depreciation method,

Firstly, we are calculating the straight line depreciation rate as follows:

= (100% ÷ useful life)

= (100% ÷ 5)

= 20%

So, the double-declining depreciation rate is calculated by multiplying the straight line depreciation rate by 2. It is calculated as follows:

= 2 × straight line depreciation rate

= 2 × 20%

= 40%

First year depreciation is calculated as follows:

= Double-declining depreciation rate × Cost of equipment

= 40% × $50,000

= $20,000

Therefore, the amount of depreciation expense for the second year is calculated as follows:

= Double-declining depreciation rate × (Cost of equipment - First year depreciation)

= 40% × ($50,000 - $20,000)

= 0.4 × $30,000

= $12,000
