D. debit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment for $66, 000 and credit Equipment for $66, 000

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To calculate the gain or loss on disposal of the equipment, we first need to determine the book value of the equipment on the date of sale.

Net Book Value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Net Book value = 72000 - 66000 = $6000

The gain/(loss) on disposal = Sales Proceeds - Net Book value

The gain/(loss) on disposal = 10000 - 6000 = $4000 Gain

The entry to record this transaction will be,

Cash $10000 Dr

Accumulated depreciation - Equipment $66000 Dr

Equipment $72000 Cr

Gain on sale-Equipment $4000 Cr

Traditionally, Fed policymakers have been ________ to use higher interest rates to head off potential asset bubbles ________.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D) hesitant; because it may cause a slowdown in the economy

Explanation:

The FED usually increases interest rates to halt rapidly increasing inflation, and it could be useful to calm down potential asset bubbles. The problem with raising interest rates is that it immediately cools down the economy and slow down economic growth. It might even stop economic growth and cause a recession.

Since higher interest rates increase the cost of borrowing for everyone in the economy (individuals, businesses), consumption decreases and investment increases. The problem with this is that private consumption represents nearly 70% of the GDP and the money multiplier is responsible for a lot of this.

A firm spends a great deal of money in advertising to inform consumers of the brand name of its mushrooms. Should consumers conc

djyliett [7]

Answer: B. Yes. Branding allows the mushrooms to be easily identified in the future. Thus, if they were of inferior quality, the company would lose customers and go out of business over time.

Explanation:

Branding is a way of making sure that your product is easily identifiable over other products.

When a company brands it's goods, they are trying to create Brand Awareness and this usually happens when a company plans to stay in a business for a while and indeed with the way the Firm is spending a lot of money on Advertising, one can surmise that they do indeed plan to stay in the business because they have spent a lot.

It would therefore make little to no sense on their part to spend such huge amounts of money to build their brand if their products will be of low quality. The mushrooms have to be of high quality so that people may associate their brand with High Quality.
