creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$20,857.24

Explanation:

This is an ordinary annuity question which can be solved using a financial calculator. The inputs are as follows;

Total duration of investment; N = 5

Interest rate per year; I/Y = 6%

Recurring annual payment;  PMT = 3,700

One time cashflow; PV = 0

then compute the future value of the annuity; CPT FV = 20,857.244

Therefore, Jan will have $20,857.24 as down payment in 5 years.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Net income = $169.2

Growth in dividend = 76.25%

Explanation:

The projected figures are as below:

Sales = $700 x (1 + 15%) = $805 <em>(15% increase in sales)</em>

Operating costs including depreciation = $805 x 60% = $483 <em>(60% of sales)</em>

Interest expense = 40 <em>(remain constant)</em>

EBIT = Sales - Operating costs including depreciation = $805 - $483 = $322

EBT = EBIT - Interest expense = $322 - $40 = $282

Net income = EBT x (1 - Tax rate) = $282 x (1 - 40$) = $169.2

Dividend = Net income x Dividend payout ratio = $169.2 x (32/96) = $56.4

Growth in dividend = $56.4/$32 = 76.25%
