Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one online and found this one:

Chad owns an office building and land that are used in his trade or business. The office building and land were acquired in 1978 for $1,200,000 and $450,000 respectively. During the current year, the properties are sold for $1,650,000 with 35% of the selling price being allocated to the land. The assets as shown on the taxpayer's books before their sale are as follows:

Building $1,200,000

Accumulated depreciation $1,125,000

Land $450,000

a.What is the recognized gain due to the sale of the building?

b. What is the character of the recognized gain due to the sale of the building?

c. What is the recognized gain and character of the gain due to the sale of the land?

a) recognized gain = sales price - book value = ($1,650,000 x 65%) - ($1,200,000 - $1,125,000) = $1,072,500 - $75,000 = $997,500

b) this gain should be recognized as along term capital gain since Chad owned the building and land for more than 1 year.

c) recognized gain = ($1,650,000 x 35%) - $450,000 = $577,500 - $450,000 = $127,500 ⇒ long term capital gain

land is not depreciable

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1. $11,000 each year

2. $23,000 and $18,400

3. $15,000 and $12,500

Explanation:

The calculation of the depreciation expense for the 2021 and 2022 is shown below:

1. Straight-line method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated service life)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= ($110,000) ÷ (10 years)  

= $11,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life  i.e for 2021 also the same depreciation is applied i.e $11,000

2. Double-declining balance method:

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is

= One ÷ estimated service life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 10%

Now the rate is double So, 20%

In year 1, the original cost is $115,000, so the depreciation is $23,000 after applying the 20% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $(115,000 - $23,000) × 20% = $18,400

3. Units-of-production method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated production units)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ ($220,000 units)

= ($110,000) ÷ (220,000 units)  

= $0.5 per units

For 2021, it would be

= Production units in 2021 year × depreciation per unit

= 30,000 units × $0.5

= $15,000

Now for the 2022, it would be  

= Production units in 2022 year × depreciation per unit

= 25,000 units × $0.5

= $12,500

Reika [66]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount is shown below:

a. For FOB destination

=  Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount

= $6,700 - $1,750 - ($6,700  - $1,750 )× 2%

= $6,700 - $1,750 - $99

= $4,851

b. For FOB shipping point

= Merchandise price - Returns and allowances - discount + Freight In

= $3,300 - $1,200 - ($3,300 - $1,200) × 1% + $200

= $3,300 - $1,200 - $21 + $200

= $2,279
