Answer: The amount of depreciation expense recognized in 2006, using the double declining balance method is $5,280.

And the journal entries required are:

Debit Depreciation expense $5,280

Credit Accumulated depreciation $5,280

Explanation: The double-declining method is otherwise known as reducing balance method. It is usually derived by using the formula below:

Double-declining depreciation = 2 X SLDP X BV

Where SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value of the asset (Cost minus depreciation)

So using the straight-line depreciation method, we need to remove the salvage value from the cost and then divided by 5 years. That is, ($22,000 - $4,000) / 5 years = $3,060 yearly depreciation expense.

However, under the double-declining method, we need to divide the 100% by the useful life of the asset first to get the SLDP then multiply by 2, that is, 100%/5 years = 20% x 2 = 40%.

So 40% x $22,000 in year 1 (December 31, 2005) is $8,800

In year 2 (December 31, 2006), 40% x $13,200 ($22,000 - $8,800) = $5,280 and so on. The depreciation expense would stop immediately it falls below the salvage value of $4,000.

So the book value of the asset at the end of year 2 is $7,920 ($13,200 - $4,000 accumulated depreciation).

xenn [34]

Answer:

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is <u>$2,621.27</u>.

Explanation:

Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.

We therefore proceed with the following two steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday

The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?

P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)

PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288

PV at 65 = $6,282.02

Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.

Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday

The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:

PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)

Where;

PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?

PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02

r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06

N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15

PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969

PV at 50 = $2,621.27

Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is <u>$2,621.27</u>.

Explanation: Consumer confidence index which is known as the confidence index is an index used for estimating the economy of the U.S, it is published by the conference board which shows the decree of excitement in peoples's activities on their savings and spendings.

To calculate the new confidence index;

STEP1: Add the bond increase to the current bond;

6% + 1% = 7%

4% + 1% = 5%

STEP 2: FIND THE NEW CONFIDENCE INDEX

5% ÷ 7% = 0.7143

The old confidence index can also be calculated as

4% ÷ 6% = 0.6667

McKinney Corporation had beginning retained earnings of $2,242,000 and ending retained earnings of $2,499,000. During the year t

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Net income for the year = $257,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings for the year= Net income - dividends paid.

Since no dividends were paid, retained earnings for the year = net income for the year. At the end of each accounting period, retained earnings are reported on the balance sheet, and the retained profits for the year are added to the beginning balance of retained earnings, to give a cumulative ending balance of $2,499,000.

therefore retained earnings for the year = ending retained earnings balance - beginning retained earnings balance = $2,499,000.-$2,242,000= $257,000.

Net income for the year is thus = $257,000 since no dividends were paid.
