Answer:

(1) Straight-line.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:

Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

(1) Straight-line.

(2) Double-declining-balance.

(3) Activity-based.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

(1) Straight-line.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the delivery van = $32,000

Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)

Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)

Using equations (2), we have:

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600

50,900 units

Explanation:

a. The computation of the units were transferred out of Work in Process Inventory is shown below:

= Beginning inventory of work in process units  + added to the production units - ending inventory of work in process units

= 8,100 units + 47,600 units - 4,800 units

= 50,900 units

Basically we added the production units and deduct the  ending inventory of work in process units to the Beginning inventory of work in process units so that the transferred out units could come

stepan [7]

Answer:if the debt ratio is lower,the loan request should be granted but if it is higher the loan request should not be granted by the bank.

Explanation:

Debt ratio is a financial ratio which shows the ability of a firm to pay their debt as they fall due.lenders are more concerned with the liquidity position of a firm in order to guarantee the solvency of the firm whenever a loan is granted to such a firm. The debt ratio is used to know the financial leverage of a firm and the financial risk involved in lending to such firm. When a firm is said to be highly leverage it means that such a firm will find it difficult to pay their debt as they fall due because the liabilities in their balance sheet is more than their assets. Debt ratio is calculated as

Total Liabilities/ Total Assets

The Debt ratio is calculated from the Liabilities and Asset figures obtained from their balance sheet. When it is calculated, lower ratio is more preferable than higher rato because it means that a firm will find it easy to settle their debt to their lenders as that debt fall due.but a higher ratio is an indication that such firm will not be able to meet their debt obligation to their lenders as they fall due. Therefore, when a firm has a higher debt ratio it is not advisable to grant a loan to such a firm by the bank. As regard the loan request of Creek Enterprises from Springfield bank, if the debt ratio of Creek Enterprises is lower, the loan should be granted but if it is higher the bank should not grant the loan.
