Answer: 21.63%

Explanation:

The firm's cost of equity capital will be calculated thus:

Market value of assets = $50000

Debt = $12500

Cost of debt = 7%

Unlevered cost of equity = 18%

Then, we'll calculate equity which will be calculated as:

= Market value of assets - Debt

= $50000 - $12500

= $37500

Then, the cost of equity capital will be:

= Unlevered cost of equity + [(Debt/equity) x (Unlevered cost of equity - Cost of debt)]

= 18% + [($12500/$37500) x (18% - 7%)]

= 18% + [0.33 x 11%]

= 18% + 3.63%

= 21.63%

Answer:

1. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the straight-line method?

= ($480,000 - $30,000) / 8 = $56,250

same depreciation expense for every year

2. What would depreciation expense be for year 3 under the double-declining balance method?

depreciation year 1 = 2 x 1/8 x $480,000 = $120,000

depreciation year 2 = 2 x 1/8 x $360,000 = $90,000

depreciation year 3 = 2 x 1/8 x $270,000 = $67,500

3. What is the first year in which depreciation expense under the straight-line method is higher than under the declining balance method?

under double declining method

depreciation year 4 = 2 x 1/8 x $202,500 = $50,625

In year 4, depreciation expense wil be higher using the straight line method.

4. Assume TarMart uses the straight-line depreciation method for its equipment. Also assume that at fiscal year-end 2020, TarMart sold the equipment purchased at the beginning of fiscal year 2016 for $200,000 cash. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of the equipment at year-end 2020.

A new truck is purchased on January 1, 20X6. The truck cost $10,000, has a 5-year life, and a $2,000 residual value. Given a Dec
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

20X9 depreciation expense is $160

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20%.

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

In 20X6, depreciation expense = 40% x $10,000 = $4,000

At the beginning of the year 20X7, the truck cost's book value is $10,000-$4,000 = $6,000

In 20X7, depreciation expense = 40% x $6,000 = $2,400

In 20X8, depreciation expense = 40% x ($10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400) = $1,440

Accumulated depreciation at December 31 20X8 = $4,000 + $2,400 + $1,440 = $7,840

Book value at December 31 20X8 = $10,000 - $4,000 - $2,400 - $1,440 = $2,160

In 20X9, depreciation expense = $10,000 - $2,000 - $7,840 = $160

The 20X9 depreciation expense was $160 which is less than the actual $864 (40% of $2,160). It was done to keep the residual value as estimated ($2,000)
