Answer:
31 Dec 2017 Depreciation Expense $1370 Dr
Accumulated Depreciation-Riding mower $1370 Cr
Explanation:
The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation per year through out the useful life of the asset. The depreciation expense per year under straight line method is calculated as follows,
Depreciation expense = ( Cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated useful life
Thus,
Depreciation expense = (15900 - 2200) / 10
Depreciation expense = $1370 per year
Question Completion:
Each year, Tom and Cindy Bates (married filing jointly) report itemized deductions of $20,000 (which includes an annual $4,000 pledge payment to their church). Upon the advice of a friend, they do the following: In early January 2019, they pay their 2018 pledge; during 2019, they pay the 2019 pledge; and in late December 2019, they prepay their 2020 pledge. a. What are the Bateses trying to accomplish? To have their itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction . b. What would the Bates' total itemized deductions be if all three church pledge payments were made in 2019?
Answer:
The Bates' total itemized deductions would be $20,000 if all three church pledge payments were made in 2019 (including $12,000 for the three years in church pledges and another $8,000 for other deductions).
Explanation:
It is assumed that the Bates' Adjusted Gross Income for 2019 is within the range of $100,000 to $200,000, which enables them to make charitable contributions up to $4,155 per annum. Since taxation uses the cash basis, it is possible for the Bates to claim the $12,000 cash in pledges for the current year when payment is made in the year.
Add up 2,000 500 and 3100 and then divide it by 7 and you will get your answer

Answer:
Fixed overhead volume variance $540 unfavorable
Explanation:
<em>The fixed overhead volume variance is the difference between the budgeted and actual production volume multiplied by the standard fixed production overhead rate per unit.</em>
Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted Fixed overhead/Budgeted units
= 27,000/1000 =$27 per unit
Unit
Budgeted production 1000
Actual production <u> 980</u>
Volume variance 20
Standard fixed overhead cost $<u>27</u>
Fixed overhead volume variance <u> $540</u> unfavorable
