Answer:

a) Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Evers should record each year of its useful life under the following assumptions. Show your workings.

(1) Straight-line method

depreciable value = $180,000 - $10,000 = $170,000 / 4 = $42,500 per year (same for each year)

(2) Double declining balance method

depreciation expense year 2014 = $180,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $90,000

depreciation expense year 2015 = $90,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $45,000

depreciation expense year 2016 = $45,000 x 1/4 x 2 = $22,500

depreciation expense year 2017 = $22,500

(3) Units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of machine is 125,000 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2014, 45,000 units; 2015, 35,000 units; 2016, 25,000 units; 2017, 20,000 units.

depreciation expense per unit = $170,000 / 125,000 units = $1.36

depreciation expense year 2014 = $1.36 x 45,000 = $61,200

depreciation expense year 2015 = $1.36 x 35,000 = $47,600

depreciation expense year 2016 = $1.36 x 25,000 = $34,000

depreciation expense year 2017 = $1.36 x 20,000 = $27,200

b) Which method used to calculate depreciation reports the highest amount of depreciation expense in year 1?

double declining balance

The highest in year 4?

straight line method

The highest total amount over the 4-year period?

double declining balance

You would like to bake a special birthday cake for a friend who has celiac disease. the original cake recipe is made with eggs,

andre [41]

Substitute GLUTEN FREE RICE FLOUR or GLUTEN FREE ALMOND FLOUR for the FLOUR in the recipe.

Celiac disease is triggered by consuming gluten, a protein. It can be found in wheat which is the primary source of flour in baking and cooking. Other food that contains gluten are barley, rye, triticale and oats.

Since Celiac disease is a serious genetic autoimmune disease, it can be deadly when one consumes food that is rich in gluten. Thus, gluten free food are used to substitute food that contains gluten.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

In Financial accounting, liability can be defined as the amount of money being owed by an individual or organization to another.

A company's current liability comprises of the following; dividends payable, short-term debts, account payable, notes payable, interest payable, wages payable, deferred revenues, income tax payable, etc.

Basically, companies usually settles their current liabilities with current assets such as account receivables or cash, that are used up within a fiscal year.

Unipeg Corporation has uniform high sales targets for its employees all across the globe, regardless of the environmental constr

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: 4. unrealistic performance goals.

Explanation:

Unipeg Corporation has a standardized performance target across the globe which is high enough on its own without having to account for environmental constraints.

This is very unrealistic because different environments have different constraints that can either increase or decrease sales.

Say for instance Unipeg is engaged in the sale of trendy women clothing including mini skirts, sleeveless tops, crop tops etc but has a presence in Iran or Saudi Arabia. The sales there cannot be expected to match up to sales in Japan or Brazil for instance and to expect such is unrealistic.

Penalizing the Employees for these shortfalls has led to them falsifying data and that is down to the unrealistic nature of Unipeg's designs.

You have been investing $165 a month for the last 12 years. today, your investment account is worth $60,508.29. what is your ave

Tanzania [10]

Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]

We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.

Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
