Answer:
$31
Explanation:
Given the following information,
Total factory overhead costs = $1,745,300
Direct labor hours = 56,300
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate, we will make use of the formula below;
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base
= $1,745,300 / 56,300
= $31
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate to apply to factory overhead is $31
You are evaluating a proposed expansion of an existing subsidiary located in Switzerland. The cost of the expansion would be SF 14 million. The cash flows from the project would be SF 4.0 million per year for the next five years. The dollar required return is 14 percent per year, and the current exchange rate is SF 1.05. The going rate on Eurodollars is 6 percent per year. It is 4 percent per year on Swiss francs.
a. Convert the projected franc flows into dollar flows and calculate the NPV.
b-1. What is the required return on franc flows?
b-2. What is the NPV of the project in Swiss francs?
b-3. What is the NPV in dollars if you convert the franc NPV to dollars?
Answer:
a-The net present value in dollars is 494939.0687.
b-1-The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2-The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3-The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Explanation:
a
In order to find the solution, firstly the exchange rate for the 5 years is calculated. It is calculated using the formula:
[tex]EER=CER*(1-GRD+GRF)^t[/tex]
Here
EER is the expected exchange rate which is to be calculatedCER is the current exchange rate which is 1.05GRD is the going rate of dollars which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Francs which is 4% or 0.04t is the time in years.From this exchange rate, the PV factor is calculated which is than used to find the present value and similarly net present value in total. The solution is provided in the attached Excel Sheet.
The net present value in dollars is 494939.07
b-1
The required rate on the Franc return is given as:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1[/tex]
Here
FRR is the franc return rate which is to be calculatedDR is the dollar rate which is 14% or 0.14GRD is the going rate of dollar which is 6% or 0.06GRF is the going rate of Franc which is 4% or 0.04So the value becomes:
[tex]FRR=(1+DR)(1-GRD+GRF)-1\\FRR=(1+0.14)(1-0.06+0.04)-1\\FRR=0.1172\text{ or }11.72\%[/tex]
The required return on franc flows is 11.72%.
b-2
Similar to part a, the solution is found for the return rate of 11.72 and the exchange rate is not required. The values are as indicated in the excel sheet attached.
The net present value in Francs is 519686.02.
b-3
In order to convert the Franc NPV to dollars, the exchange rate of 1.05SF is used which gives
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}[/tex]
Here
NPV_dollars is the value of NPV which is to be calculated.NPV_francs is the value of NPV calculated in previous step which is 510686.02.ER is the exchange rate whose value is 1.05So the equation becomes:
[tex]NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{NPV_{Francs}}{ER}\\NPV_{dollars}=\dfrac{519686.02}{1.05}\\NPV_{dollars}=494939.0666=\$494939.07[/tex]
The NPV in dollars as calculated from NPV in Francs is $494939.07
Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.
Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000
Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?
Answer:
50,000 Square feet
Explanation:
Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.
Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly
= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000
= 50,000
On January 1, 2020, Gerald received his 50% profits and capital interest in High Air, LLC in exchange for $2,000 in cash and real property with a $3,000 tax basis secured by a $2,000 nonrecourse mortgage. High Air reported a $15,000 loss for its 2020 calendar year. How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Answer:
$4,000;$3,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much loss can Gerald deduct, and how much loss must he suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation
Calculation for How much loss can Gerald deduct
Gerald's loss Deduction = [$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + (50% × $2,000)]
Gerald's loss Deduction =[$2,000 + $3,000 - $2,000 + $1,000]
Gerald's loss Deduction=$4,000
Calculation for how much loss must he suspend
Loss to Suspend=(50%*$15,000)-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$7,500-$4,000
Loss to Suspend=$3,500
Therefore the amount of loss that Gerald can deduct is $4,000 and the amount of loss that he must suspend if he only applies the tax basis loss limitation is $3,500

b-2. What is your expected one-year holding-period return on Xyrong stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Expected one-year holding-period return
Answer:
$109
$118.81
18.26%
Explanation:
Intrinsic value can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
dividend, growth rate and cost of equity are not given and they have to be calculated
growth rate = retention rate x ROE
Retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%
0.5 x 18% = 9%
According to the capital asset price model: cost of equity = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
9% + 2x (14% - 9%) = 19%
dividend = payout ratio x earnings per share
0.5 x $20 = $10
Intrinsic value = [tex]\frac{10( 1 + 0.09)}{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = $109
Stock price in a year
[tex]\frac{10(1 + 0.9)^{2} }{0.19 - 0.09}[/tex] = 118.81
(dividend return + price return)
price return is the return on investment as a result of appreciation or depreciation of share price
Dividend return is the return on investment from dividend earned
price return = price at the end of the year - price at the beginning of the year
Skysong Itzek manufactures and sells homemade wine, and he wants to develop a standard cost per gallon. The following are required for production of a 50-gallon batch. 3,800 ounces of grape concentrate at $0.07 per ounce 54 pounds of granulated sugar at $0.45 per pound 60 lemons at $0.70 each 150 yeast tablets at $0.28 each 200 nutrient tablets at $0.17 each 1,900 ounces of water at $0.005 per ounce Skysong estimates that 5% of the grape concentrate is wasted, 10% of the sugar is lost, and 25% of the lemons cannot be used. Compute the standard cost of the ingredients for one gallon of wine. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Standard Cost Per Gallon $
Answer:
Skysong Itzek
Standard Cost Per Gallon = $8.36
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Requirements for the production of a 50-gallon batch:
Materials Quantity Price Total costs
Ounces of grape concentrate 3,800 $0.07/ounce $266.00
Pounds of granulated sugar 54 $0.45/pound 24.30
Lemons 60 $0.70 each 42.00
Tablets of yeast 150 $0.28 each 42.00
Tablets of nutrient 200 $0.17 each 34.00
Ounces of water 1,900 $0.005/ounce 9.50
Total costs $417.80
Standard cost per unit = Total material costs/Batch Quantity
= $417.80/50 = $8.36
b) Since the estimated wastages of grape concentrate, sugar, and lemons are of no further use, the full costs of the direct materials are used in determining the standard cost. The standard cost is, therefore, equal to the total material costs divided by the batch quantity.
Joint products A and B emerge from common processing costs of $100,000 and yield 2,000 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. Product A can be sold for $100 per unit. Product B can be sold for $120 per unit. The amount of joint costs allocated to Product A (if joint costs are allocated on the basis of relative sales value) will be $ (rounded to nearest dollar).
Answer:
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
Explanation:
To calculate the allocation of joint costs to Product A, we must first calculate the sales revenue or value for both products.
Total sales value - Product A = 100 * 2000 = $200000
Total sales value - Product B = 120 * 1000 = $120000
Total Sales Value = 200000 + 120000 = $320000
The amount of Joint costs that will be allocated to Product A will be,
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = (200000 / 320000) * 100000
Product A - Joint Cost Allocated = $62500
1. A manufacturer of industrial motors has identified ten new prospective customers for its products and estimated each customer's annual sales potential as follows:
Customer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Sales Potential
(in $1,000,000s) $113 $106 $84 $52 $155 $103 $87 $91 $128 $131
The company would like to allocate these ten prospective customers to five of its current salespeople in the most equitable way possible. (Each customer may be assigned to only one sales person.) To do this, ideally, the customers assigned to each of the five salespeople would have exactly the same sales potential. If such a solution is not possible, the company would like to minimize the total amount by which the actual sales potentials for the customers assigned to each salesperson deviate from the ideal allocation.
a. Ideally, what sales potential should be assigned to each salesperson?
b. Formulate a mathematical programming model for this problem.

"Situation where you have a personal budget for the year 2021 with Revenues of $20,000 and Expenses of $18,000. On July 1, 2021 two friends come to live with you and pay you $1,000/month in rent. They add $800 a month in expenses. What are your flexible budget expenses for 2021"
Answer:
$22,800
Explanation:
Flexible budget expenses = $18,000 + ($800 * 6 months)
Flexible budget expenses = $18,000 + $4,800
Flexible budget expenses = $22,800
So, the flexible budget expenses for 2021 is $22,800
he SSC, a cash-method partnership, has a balance sheet that includes the following assets on December 31 of the current year: Basis FMV Cash $ 180,000 $ 180,000 Accounts receivable 0 60,000 Land 90,000 120,000 Total $ 270,000 $ 360,000 Susan, a one-third partner, has an adjusted basis of $90,000 for her partnership interest. If Susan sells her entire partnership interest to Emma for $120,000 cash, how much capital gain and ordinary income must Susan recognize from the sale
Answer:
$10,000 capital gain; $20,000 ordinary income
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much capital gain and ordinary income must Susan recognize from the sale
Calculation for ORDINARY INCOME
Using this formula
Ordinary income=(
Unrealized receivables × Interest)
Let plug in the formula
Ordinary income=($60,000*1/3)
Ordinary income=$20,000
Calculation for CAPITAL GAIN
Using this formula
Capital gain= Total gain -Ordinary income
Let plug in the formula
Capital gain=$30,000-$20,000
capital gain=$10,000
Therefore the capital gain and ordinary income that Susan must recognize from the sale are:
$10,000 capital gain; $20,000 ordinary income
On August 1, Sparky assigned $100,000 of the accounts receivable to B Bank and received 90% of the value of the accounts assigned less a finance fee of $1,000. B Bank charges 1% per month on the outstanding loan balance. Cash collections from assigned accounts are to be remitted monthly to B Bank to cover both principal and interest payments. During August Sparky collected $30,000 in cash of the accounts receivable assigned and also accepted sales returns of $3,000 from assigned accounts. During September, Sparky collected $50,000 in cash on accounts assigned and, in addition, wrote off $2,000 of assigned accounts receivable as uncollectible. As a result of these transactions, determine the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance in the Accounts Receivable Assigned and Note Payable is shown below:
For account receivable assigned:
Beginning account receivable $100,000
cash collected -$300,000
Sales returns - $3,000
Cash collected during September -$50,000
Uncollectible account receivable -$2,000
Ending balance of the account receivable $15,000
For note payable
Beginning balance (90% of $100,000) $90,000
Interest on the loan (1% of $90,000) $900
Cash paid during the August -$30,000
Beginning balance of September $60,900
Interest paid (1% of $60,900) $609
Cash paid during September -$50,000
Ending balance $11,509
Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised profits are expected to (increase/decrease) by $__________ per year. (Enter the profit increase or decrease as a whole number.)
Answer:
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Unitary variable cost= $3
Number of units sold= 150,000
Selling price= $6.5
To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:
Net income= number of units sold*unitary contribution margin - fixed costs
Previous:
Net income= 150,000*3.5 - 350,000
Net income= $175,000
After:
Net income= 120,000*4 - 350,000
Net income= $130,000
Unitary contribution margin= 7 - 3= 4
Number of units sold= 150,000*0.8= 120,000
If the company decides to raise the selling price by $0.5, net income will decrease by $45,000
Wildhorse Company purchased 300 of the 1000 outstanding shares of Ayayai Company's common stock for $570000 on January 2, 2021. During 2021, Ayayai Company declared dividends of $85000 and reported earnings for the year of $370000. If Wildhorse Company used the fair value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company, its Equity Investments (Ayayai) account on December 31, 2021 should be
Answer:
$664,000
Explanation:
Correct words: "If Wildhorse Company used the Equity value method of accounting for its investment in Ayayai Company"
Ownership percentage = 300/1000
Ownership percentage = 30%
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + Share in earnings ($370,000*30%) - Share in dividends paid out ($85000*20%)
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $570,000 + $111,000 - $17,000
Balance in equity investment at Dec 31, 2021 = $664,000
So, the Equity Investments balance for Ayayai company on December 31, 2021 is $664,000.

he controller of Wildhorse Industries has collected the following monthly expense data for use in analyzing the cost behavior of maintenance costs. Month Total Maintenance Costs Total Machine Hours January $2,925 3,880 February 3,324 4,432 March 3,989 6,648 April 4,986 8,753 May 3,546 5,540 June 5,420 8,870 (a1) Determine the variable-cost components using the high-low method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 2.25.) Variable cost per machine hour $
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Explanation:
To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (5,420 - 2,925) / (8,870 - 3,880)
Variable cost per unit= $0.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 5,420 - (0.5*8,870)
Fixed costs= $985
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,925 - (0.5*3,880)
Fixed costs= $985
PBYI’s current BID-ASK is $59.00 - $60.00. PBYI is going to release their annual report tomorrow; you have special skill in valuing biotech companies, and you believe that PBYI has an expected alpha tomorrow of 2% compared to the market’s current best estimate of fair value. Is the following statement true? PBYI is currently overpriced. True False 1 points QUESTION 8 If you purchased PBYI now then sold it tomorrow right before market close, what is your best estimate for your expected profit after taking transactions cost into account? (in %, rounded to 1 decimal place)
Answer:
PBYI is not over priced
expected profit = $0.18
Explanation:
BID - ASK price : 59.00 - 60.00
expected alpha = 2%
In this scenerio ( positive alpha ) you can buy the PBYI at $60.00
when you buy at $60 the value will increase to ; 60 + ( 2% * 60 ) = $61.2
when you resell the security ( PBYI ) you will get ; ( 61.2 )* (59/60) = $60.18
therefore your expected profit = 60.18 - 60 = $0.18
PBYI is not not currently Overpriced since you can buy and make profit after selling the next day
The model of competitive market relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers-a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product--buyers must regard all seller's products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing for free entry into and ext from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessarily for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannon maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.

Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
a. this is not a perfect competition because the sweatshirts are not homogenous. they differ in quality and style
b. this is not a perfect competition because there are not plenty firms. this is more of a duopoly
c. this is a perfect competition. there are many tutoring services with homogenous products
d. the company is a monopoly. there is no free entry into the industry as a result of the government permit
Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:
a. A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $250,000 and have a useful life of four years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $72,115 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000.
b. A machine costs $200,000, has a $13,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $39,000 per year after straight-line depreciation.
Answer:
A. 1.89 years
B. 2.33 years
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
(A) After-tax income = $72,115
Expected cost = $250,000
Useful life = 4 years
Salvage value = $10,000
Depreciation Value = ($250,000 - $10,000) ÷ 4 = $60,000
Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation
= $72,115 + $60,000 = $132,115
Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
= $250,000 ÷ $132,115
= 1.89 years
(B) After-tax income = $39,000
Machine cost = $200,000
Useful life = 8 years
Salvage value = $13,000
Depreciation value = ($200,000 - $13,000) ÷ 4 = $46,750
Annual net cashflow = After tax income + Depreciation
= $39,000 + $46,750 = $85,750
Payback Period = Machine expected cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
= $200,000 ÷ $85,750
= 2.33 years
Two methods can be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $65,000 initially and will have a $18,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $28,000 in year 1, increasing by $3600 each year. Method B will have a first cost of $108,000, an operating cost of $8000 in year 1, increasing by $8000 each year, and a $38,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At an interest rate of 8% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis
Answer:
Method B should be used
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of Method A and Method B.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Present worth of Method A = –$210,889.85
Present worth of Method B = –$118,011.18
Since the present worth of Method A and B above imply Method A costs more than Method B, Method B should be used.

2. (E) Cooking:$34,300 Churning: $39,200 Freezing:$24,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For administrative cost allocated to each operating department is
Cooking
= $560,000 × 2,940 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $168,000
Churning
= $560,000 × 4,900 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $280,000
Freezing
= $560,000 × 1,960 ÷ (2,940 + 4,900 + 1,960)
= $112,000
b. For maintenance cost allocated to each operating department is
Cooking
= $98,000 × 33,250 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $34,300
Churning
= $98,000 × 38,000 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $39,200
And, for freezing
= $98,000 × 23,750 ÷ (33,250 + 38,000 23750)
= $24,500

7. After 34 payments have been made, what percentage of the total interest has been paid (round to the nearest percentage point)?
____ %
8. After 34 payments have been made, what percentage of the total principal has been paid (round to the nearest percentage point)?
____ %
Answer:
Loan = $670,000
Interest Rate = 11.4%
Years (Life) = 54 years
1. Loan = Annual installment * (1-(1+i)^-n)/i
$670,000 = Annual installment * (1-(1+11.4%)^-54)/11.4%
$670,000 = Annual installment * 8.74614912
Annual installment = $670,000 /8.74614912
Annual installment = 76605.14257
Annual installment = $76,605
2. Total interest payment = Total installments - Original loan
Total interest payment = $76605.14*54 - $670,000
Total interest payment = $4,136,677.56 - $670,000
Total interest payment = $3,466,677.699
Total interest payment = $3,466,678
3. Capital o/s after 34 payments = 76605.14257 × (1-(1+11.4%)^-20)/11.4%
= $594412.8888
Capital repaid = $670000 - $594412.8888 = $75587.11123
Total interest paid till 34 installments = $76605.14257*34 - $75587.11123 = $2528987.736
Percentage of interest = ($2528987.736/ ($76605.14257*54- $670000)) * 100
Percentage of interest = 0.7295133715
Percentage of interest = 72.95133715%
4. Percentage of principal = (75587.11123/670000)*100
Percentage of principal = 0.1128165839
Percentage of principal = 11.28165839%
Percentage of principal ≈ 11%

Sicilian Defence, a division of Queen's Gambit Corp., has a net operating income of $60,000 and average operating assets of $300,000. The minimum required rate of return for the company is 15%. If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Answer:
Queen's Gambit Corp.
Sicilian Defence Division
If the manager of the Sicilian Defence division is evaluated based on residual income, will she want to make an investment of $100,000 that would generate additional net operating income of $18,000 per year?
Yes.
The additional investment yields comparable positive Residual Income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Net operating income of Sicilian Defence Division = $60,000
Average operating assets = $300,000
Required rate of return for the company = 15%
Residual income (RI)= Operating Income - (Operating Assets x Required Rate of Return)
= $60,000 - ($300,000 * 15%)
= $60,000 - $45,000
= $15,000
Investment cost = $100,000
Additional net operating income = $18,000
Residual Income = $18,000 - ($100,000 * 15%)
= $18,000 - $15,000
= $3,000
Total residual income = $78,000 - ($400,000 * 15%)
= $78,000 - $60,000
= $18,000
Suppose a hypothetical economy is currently in a recessionary gap of $64 billion. Four economists agree that expansionary fiscal policy can increase total spending and move the economy out of recession, but they are debating which type of expansionary policy should be used.
Economist A believes that the government spending multiplier is 8 and the tax multiplier is 2. Economist B believes that the government spending multiplier is 4 and the tax multiplier is 8.
Required:
Compute the amount the government would have to increase spending to close the output gap according to each economist's belief.
Answer:
a. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = $8 billion
b. Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = $16 billion
Explanation:
a. Economist A
Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 8, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 8 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:
Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist A = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist A = $64 billion / 8 = $8 billion
b. Economist B
Since government spending multiplier is believed to be 4, this implies that the government has to spend an amount that when it is multiplied by 4 it will be equal to recessionary gap of $64 billion in order to close the output gap. This amount can be calculated as follows:
Amount the government would have to increase spending according Economist B = Amount of recessionary gap / Government spending multiplier according to Economist B = $64 billion / 4 = $16 billion
On October 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $148,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $5,000. The equipment is expected to produce 260,000 units during its life.Required:Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.
Answer:
Missing word: "1. Straight line. 2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"
1. Straight line depreciation
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)
Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $14,300
Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12
Depreciation Expenses = $3575
2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12
Depreciation Expenses = $14,300
2. Double-declining balance
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expense = $148000 * 20% 3/12
Depreciation Expense = $7400
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $148000 - $7400
Book Value = $140,600
2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12
Depreciation Expense = $35,520
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520
Book Value = $105,080
