Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a co

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1) Straightline $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance $ 4000

3) Units of Production $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year Book Value Dep Dep Accu. Book

Rate Expense Dep. Value

1 40,000 40 16000 16000 24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit= $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense = 2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

Answer:

D) being unable to engage in all three of the above activities.

taking a nap
seeing a movie with a friend
studying for next morning's test

So all the three activities represent the opportunity cost of attending afternoon class.

You plan on making a $235.15 monthly deposit into an account that pays 3.2% interest, compounded monthly, for 20 years. At the e

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Monthly payment = $769.27

Explanation:

First we have to determine the future value of the ordinary annuity:

Payment = $235.15

N = 20 * 12 = 240

Rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.267%

Using a financial calculator and the FV function, the FV = $78,910.41

Again, using the financial calculator or Excel, you can determine the monthly payment:

N = 10 / 12 = 120

Rate = 0.267%

PV = $78,910.41

FV = $0

Monthly payment = $769.27

vredina [299]

Answer:

You should invest in US bonds because you will be able to earn a higher return than if you build and sell microwaves.

Explanation:

alternative 1, build and sell microwave ovens:

initial outlay = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $225,000 - $200,000 = $25,000

alternative 2, invest in US securities:

investment = $500,000

net cash flow per year = $500,000 x 10% = $50,000

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another.

If you choose to build and sell microwaves, you will not be able to invest in bonds, and therefore, your net income will decrease by $25,000 - $50,000 = -$25,000.

Instead, if you invest in bonds and not microwaves, your net income will increase by $50,000 - $25,000 = $25,000.
