Land improvements are capitalized separately from Land because land improvements have only a limited useful life.

Land is a special fixed asset which means that:

It is purchased for long term use
It is not depreciated because it lasts forever

Land improvements on the other hand, will not last forever. They will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. They are therefore capitalized separately from land so that they can be depreciated if need be.

In conclusion, land improvements are capitalized separately from land because they have a limited useful life.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

(a) $ 530,000

Explanation:

total production 260,000 units

variable manufacturing $26 per unit = $6,760,000

variable S&A $11 per unit

planned and actual fixed manufacturing $520,000

planned and actual fixed S&A $370,000

total costs during the year = $10,510,000

units sold 180,000 x $44 = $7,920,000

cost of goods sold per unit = ($26 x 180,000) + (180,000 x $520,000/260,000) = $4,680,000 + $360,000 = $5,040,000

total operating expenses = ($11 x 180,000) + $370,000 = $1,980,000 + $370,000 = $2,350,000

net income = $7,920,000 - $5,040,000 - $2,350,000 = $530,000

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$10,800

Explanation:

Alice's gross income must include the money she received from Richard as part of their divorce settlement, excluding the amount set for child support:

Alice's gross income = 12 x ($1,500 - $600) = 12 x $900 = $10,800

The extra money that Richard gave Alice that was not part of the divorce settlement is not included in her gross income, since it is included in Richard's gross income.
