The amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.

<h3>What is depreciation expense?</h3>

Depreciation expense is the cost of a depreciated asset for a specific period, and it reveals how much of the asset's value was used up in that year.
Accumulated depreciation is the entire amount of depreciation expense given to an asset since it was placed in service.
A business spends $84,000 on new display racks with a useful life of 7 years (84 months) and no residual value.
The corporation would most likely choose a straight-line depreciation technique, which would result in a $1,000 monthly depreciation expenditure ($84,000/84 months = $1,000 per month).

The straight-line technique of calculating depreciation expense is given below:

= (Original cost - salvage value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($173,000 - $8,600) ÷ (10 years)
= ($164,400,000) ÷ (10 years)
= $16,440

In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life.

Now for the 7 months, the depreciation expense would be:

= $16,440 × 7 months÷ 12 months
= $9,590

Therefore, the amount to be recorded as depreciation expense on December 31, 2021, is (B) $9,590.

The stock of Nogro Corporation is currently selling for $10 per share. Earnings per share in the coming year are expected to be

V125BC [204]

Answer:

a) required rate of return = 10%

b)Also, if there is no growth then Return on Equity will be equal to the Required rate of return. Hence there won't be any change.

c) a cut in the dividend payout to 25% will have no effect or impact and as such the stock price will remain the same.

A complete elimination of dividend will not affect the stock price as well.

Explanation:

The question is in three parts and will be answered accordingly

a) The Required Rate of Return = (The Dividend Expected for the next year/ Current Price of Stock) + the Growth rate

First, we calculate the Dividend expected per share for the next year

=earnings per share x Dividends pay out ratio

=$2 /$10 = 20%

Secondly, we now calculate the return on equity as follows

= Expected Earnings Per share / Current Selling price

= $2 x (1-50%) = 10%

The third is to calculate the Growth rate =

Return on Equity x (1 - Dividend payout ratio)

= 20% x (1-50%) = 10%

Using this with the formula of required rate of return

= ($1 /$10) +10% = 20%

b) First the assumption is that all earnings were paid as dividend with no reinvestment and in this scenario, the lack of reinvestment will mean no growth. Also, if there is no growth then Return on Equity will be equal to the Required rate of return. Hence there won't be any change.

c) Because the Return on Equity is equal to required rate of return, it means a cut in the dividend payout to 25% will have no effect or impact and as such the stock price will remain the same.

A complete elimination of dividend will not affect the stock price as well.

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Blending Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion in June.

Equivalent units of production:

Materials

Transferred to next department

160,000

Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory:

Materials: 40,000

(40,000 units × 100% complete )

Equivalent units of production 200,000

Conversion

Transferred to next department

160,000

Add Conversion10,000

40,000 units × 25% complete
