Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January​ 1, 2018, for​ $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

                                 = $717,000/5

                                = $143,400

At the beginning of​ 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

                          = $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

                                  = $430,200/2

                                  = $215,100

Consumer Goods Corporation sells products that are poorly made. Tina, who has never bought a product from Consumer Goods, files
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: Tina doesn't have a standing

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we are told that Consumer Goods Corporation sells products that are poorly made.

We are further told that Tina, who has never bought a product from Consumer Goods, files a suit against the firm alleging that its products are defective.

The firm could ask for dismissal of the suit on the basis that Tina doesn't have a standing. This is because Tina has never bought their goods before and therefore shouldn't be alleging that the product of the company is bad. Assuming Tina has bought their products before, then it'll have been harder for the firm to ask for dismissal.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

We have given the cost of shipping box = $5

Flat packing fee = $5

As given, the cost of shipping a box is based on its weight in pounds so it is variable

And a flat rate of $5 for packing. This means $5 is common for each parcel that will be sent. Only the weight will vary.

So the equation will be 2x+5
