Answer:
1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets
= ($330000 - $33000)/8
= $37,125
2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36
Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)
= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36
= $66,000
3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%
Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500
Answer:
d. pollution should be eliminated as long as the benefit from a cleanup exceeds the opportunity cost.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is defined as the forgone cost of doing a particular activity. If you were not undertaking this activity what would you have gained by doing something else?
In this case as long as the benefit from cleaning up the pollution is greater than the opportunity cost (pollution) it should be undertaken.
Answer:
Option $6,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost of the machine acquired = $30,000
Classified useful life = 5 years property
Now,
The MARCS rate for 5 years property, the depreciation rate is 20%
Therefore,
The depreciation for the year 2019 will be
= 20% of the Cost of the machine acquired
= 0.20 × $30,000
= $6,000
Hence,
Option $6,000
Answer:
The depreciation for 2020 is $233.33
Explanation:
Under the MACRS, computer useful life is 5 years.
The depreciation rate for every year, applying double declining method is: 100% / 5 = 20%. So, depreciation expenses for first year of the computer is calculated as: Cost of the computer x 20% = = 2,000 x 20% = $400.
As the computer is purchased in May, the year 2020 would only account for 7 month out of the first year of depreciation. Thus 2020 depreciation expenses = First year depreciation x 7/12 = 400 x 7/12 = $233.33
Answer:
4.5%
Explanation:
Stock R (Beta) = 1.5
Stock S (Beta) = 0.75
Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%
Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%
Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B
Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B
Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B
Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)
Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09
Stock R = 0.13
Stock R = 13%
Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)
Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045
Stock S = 0.085
Stock S = 8.5%
Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.
= 13% - 8.5%
= 4.5%
