Answer:

According to studies of human decision-making, the most likely is:

c. After reading the article, all members of the group oppose capital punishment.

Explanation:

The article, provided for reading by supporters and opposers, will likely sway the 40% of the group, who are initially supportive of capital punishment, to now oppose capital punishment,especially if the article critically opposes capital punishment.  There is no way majority of the group will support capital punishment.  Therefore, options a and b are incorrect.  For option d, after reading the article, the opinions of some opposers and supporters may shift either way.  They will not remain the same as before.  This rules out option d, leaving only option c as the correct option.

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January​ 1, 2018, for​ $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

                                 = $717,000/5

                                = $143,400

At the beginning of​ 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

                          = $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

                                  = $430,200/2

                                  = $215,100

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

c. $ 84,000 increase

Explanation:

The entry when the company wrote off uncollectible accounts:

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

Credit Uncollectible accounts $16,000

It makes Account receivable decrease: $16,000

In 2007, Sales on account that were not collected = $290,000 - $172,000 = $118,000

It makes Account receivable at the end of the year increase: $118,000

At 12/31/07,

1. Accounts receivable was: $1,050,000+$118,000-$16,000=$1,152,000

2. Cash realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,152,000 - $108,000 = $1,044,000

From 12/31/06 to 12/31/07, cash realizable value from the balance increase:

$1,044,000 - $960,000 = $84,000
