A natural monopoly occurs when there is high fixed or start-up costs of conducting a business in a specific industry meaning a sole producer provides the good efficiently.
Answer:
If X Company uses the units of production method for calculating depreciation, depreciation expense in 20X3 will be (rounded):
$45000
Explanation:
Cost 360000
Accum. Depre 90000
Usefull life 7
Produce 1 20000
Produce 2 10000
Produce 3 50000
80000
Deprec=cost/unit
Depre=360000/80000
Depre= 4,5
Produce 2012 20000 4,5 90000
Produce 2013 10000 4,5 45000
Produce rest 50000 4,5 225000
80000 4,5 360000
Answer: 12.5%
Explanation:
Amount that will be raised with Equity = 65% * 5,700,000 = $3,705,000
This is more than the retained earnings so new equity will have to be issued at cost of 16%
Amount raised by debt = 35% * 5,700,000 = $1,995,000
Less than $2 million so cost of debt is 10%
WACC = cost of equity * weight of equity + weight of debt * cost of debt * ( 1 - tax rate)
= (16% * 65% ) + (35% * 10% * (1 - 40% tax))
= 12.5%
Answer:
(1) $19,500
(2) $142,000
(3) $27,000
(4) $15,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the p/l over the useful life of the asset. It may be computed as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
Annual depreciation = ($220,000 - $25,000)/10
= $19,500
4 years later
Carrying amount of the equipment
= $220,000 - 4 * $19,500
= $220,000 - $78,000
= $142,000
If the asset is impaired
An asset is said to be impaired when the carrying amount is higher than recoverable amount where the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use of the asset which is the present value of the future expected inflow from the use of the asset.
Value in use = $115,000
Fair value = $85,000
Value in use = $115,000
Impairment loss = $142,000 - $115,000
= $27,000
Remaining number of years is 6
New carrying amount = $115,000
the annual depreciation expense = ($115,000 - $25,000)/6
= $90,000/6
= $15,000
