Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2016, 2017, and 2018 using the a. Straight-line method b. Double-declining balance method C. Assume that on January 2, 2018, Lambert revised its estimate of the useful life to 7 years and changed its estimate of the residual value to $ 10,000. What effect would this have on depreciation expense in 2018 for each of the above depreciation methods?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
(a) Under straight-line method,
We have depreciation expense to be (cost - residual value) ÷ No of years =
=> ($110,000 - $15,000) ÷ 6 years = $15,833 yearly depreciation expense.
Hence, the year depreciation expense of $15,833 is applicable to all the Years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Therefore, sum of depreciation for all the three years is calculated as
=> $15,833 * 3 years = $47,499.
(b) Under the double-declining method
We have = 2 * SLDP * BV
Where SLDP = Straight - Line Depreciation Percentage
BV = Book value
Hence, SLDP is 100% ÷ 6 years = 16.67%,
Thus, 16.67% * 2 => 33.33%
Therefore, Year 2016, 33.33% * $110,000 = $36,663
For Year 2017, 33.33% * $73,337 ($110,000 - $36,663) = $24,443
For Year 2018, 33.33% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $16,296
Adding all the three Years together => 2016 to 2018, => $77,402
(c) Given that after 2 years, the revised estimated useful life becomes 7 years and the residual value is $10,000, depreciation would be calculated as follows:
Under the straight-line method,
NBV = Net Book Value, at the end of 2017 is: $110,000 - $15,833 * 2 years = $78,334
Depreciation expense is therefore: ($78,334 - $10,000) ÷ 7 years = $9,762 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Also,
Under the double-declining method,
SLDP is 100% ÷ 7 years = 14.29%, * 2 => 28.57%.
For Year 2018,
28.57% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $13,969 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
the requirements are:
calculate depreciation expense using straight line, double depreciation, sum of the years' digits methods
straight line depreciation:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
depreciation expense per yer = $95,000 / 6 = $15,833.33
depreciation expense 2019 = $15,833depreciation expense 2020 = $15,833depreciation expense 2021 = $15,834double declining balance:
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 2/6 = $36,667depreciation expense 2020 = ($110,000 - $36,667) x 2/6 = $24,444depreciation expense 2021 = ($73,333 - $24,444) x 2/6 = $16,296sum of the years' digits method:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
sum of years = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 years
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 6/21 = $31,429depreciation expense 2020 = $110,000 x 5/21 = $26,190depreciation expense 2021 = $110,000 x 4/21 = $20,952Carol really doesn't like her new boss and is not happy with the new tasks she's been assigned and the long hours she's been working. Still, she truly believes in what the company is trying to accomplish. Carol has Question 9 options: 1) low organizational commitment. 2) poor job enrichment. 3) poor job performance. 4) low job satisfaction. 5) low job involvement.
Answer:
4)Low job satisfaction
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Carol really doesn't like her new boss and is not happy with the new tasks she's been assigned and the long hours she's been working. But she still truly believes in what the company is trying to accomplish.
In this case , Carol has Low job satisfaction.
Whenever an employee job
has satisfaction, he/she will be motivated, it always result to efficiency in the part of employees, they ten to work harder for acheiving the goal of the organization which in turn result to good overall performance of the organization. But in the situation whereby an employee has
Low job satisfaction, the reverse is the case, he/she will not be happy with task given to him/her, no motivation.
Factors that improve Low job satisfaction are;
✓Assuring job security for employee
✓Job benefits
✓Good relationship between employee and employer.
Producers of snack foods (such as candy bars or potato chips) are most likely to use a(n) _____________ distribution strategy for their products.
Answer:
A.intensive
Explanation:
Products such as chocolate bars and chips fit the classification of non-durable consumer goods, that is, those that are produced for immediate consumption.
Its characteristics involve meeting the needs of the final consumer periodically, generally they are low-cost products that need quick replacement to meet the high demand for these non-durable products.
Therefore, the best strategy for the distribution of non-durable products is the intensive strategy, making it available in different places with easy access to the consumer and with high replacement.
Assume that Ray is 38 years old and has 27 years for saving until he retires. He expects an APR of 7.5% on his investments. How much does he need to save if he puts money away annually in equal end-of-the-year amounts to achieve a future value of $1,200,000 dollars in 27 years' time
Answer:
Annual deposit= $14,882.44
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value= $1,200,000
Number of periods= 27 years
Interest rate= 7.5%
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,200,000*0.075) / [(1.075^27) - 1]
A= $14,882.44

. Suppose you bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share. The stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41. (1) What is your total dollar return on this investment
Answer: $428
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that one bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share and that the stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41.
The total dollar return on this investment will be calculated as:
= 100(41 - 37 + 0.28)
= $428
The rate of return on the common stock of Flowers by Flo is expected to be 14 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 20 percent for a boom, 70 percent for a normal economy, and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns
Answer:
the variance is 0.001044
Explanation:
The computation of the variance of the returns is shown below:
But before that expected return to be determined
E(r) = Sum of (probabilities × expected return)
= 0.20 × .14 + 0.70 × 0.08 + 0.10 × 0.02
= 0.086
Now
variance = Sum of (individual return - mean return)^2
= 0.20 × (0.14 -0.086)^2 + 0.7 × (0.08 - 0.086)^2 + 0.10 × (0.02 - 0.086)^2
= 0.001044
hence the variance is 0.001044

Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?
Answer:
A) 0.33 scripts per euro
B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C) 0.333 euros per script
Explanation:
number of hours worked per day = 8
number of scripts processed per day = 100
Labor cost per hour = 9 euros
Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros
material cost per script = 2 euros
Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros
daily expenses = 28 euros
A) Calculate the multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300
= 100 / 300
= 0.33 scripts per euro
B ) compare the old and new productivity
Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro
new multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475
= 150 / 475
= 0.3158 scripts per euro
hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333
calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity
= 150/0.333
= 450 euros
hence Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150
= 2.33 euro per script
So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2
euros
= 0.333 euros per script

106,500 91,000
Answer: A. They increase cash provided by operating activities,
Explanation:
There is an error in the question. The Accounts Receivable are listed as Accounts Payable. Accounts receivable figures are $6,000 for 2018 and $11,000 for 2017.
The Accounts Receivable has therefore reduced in value from 2017 to 2018 by;
= 11,000 - 6,000
= $5,000
Seeing as Receivables have decreased, this means that some of those owing the business have paid their debt and so are no longer Accounts Receivable.
This payment of debt will increase the cash provided by operating activities.
Which of the following best defines "Isolationist.?
a. The concept that a whole can derive more value than the combination of the individual parts. A common expression in defining synergy is 1+1 = 3, or each piece derives more value that it would on its own.
b. Two or more systems that depend or support one another, often achieving mutual benefit.
c. The process of international integrating arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture.
d. The notion that we have certain rights and responsibilities towards each other by the mere fact of being human on Earth.
e. Pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups).
Answer:
e. Pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups).
Explanation:
Isolationist is a strategic approach pertaining to a national (or group) policy of non-interaction with other nations (or groups). This ultimately implies that, an isolationist refers to a country that has a diplomatic policy of non-interaction or avoiding to have any form of alliance with other countries.
Generally, countries choose to practice isolationism because they want to avoid foreign economic commitments, preserve her identity and culture, protect its territory, etc. Between 1641 to 1853, The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan adopted isolationism known as "Kaikin" which made it avoid contact or alliance with other countries. Also, in 1930 China was isolationist by banning all maritime shipping activities.
In a large open economy , an investment tax credit raises the real interest rate, __________ the trade balance, and __________ net capital inflow.

Explanation:
The investment tax incentive helps corporations to exclude a portion of the expense including its investment towards taxes. This raises disposable income unintentionally. This increase in household inflation rate is contributing to something like an increase in the rate of trade.As either the significance of the domestic country's currency, export industries decreasing trend as well as imports rise, resulting throughout a decline throughout the terms of payment. The capital flows grow and indeed the outflow declines even as actual interest rates go up, the decline in net investment output.on an annal basis, the first set of expenses is ____% of the second set of expenses. MAria spends 17 dollars on lottery tickets every week and spends
Completion Question:
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is _______% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is % of the money spent to buy food. (Round to the nearest percent asneeded.)
Answer:
Maria's Spending
On an annualbasis, the first set of expenses is ____55.39___% of the second set of expenses. Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week and spends $133 per month on food. On an annual basis, the money spent on lottery tickets is 55.39 % of the money spent to buy food.
Explanation:
Maria spends $17 on lottery tickets every week
Therefore, every 4-week month, she spends $68 ($17 * 4) on lottery tickets
Normally, a year = 52 weeks.
Annually, Maria spends $884 ($17 * 52) on lottery tickets
Also
Maria spends $133 per month on food.
Normally, a year = 12 months.
Annually, she spends $1,596 ($133 x 12) on food
Ratio of Lottery tickets to Food annually:
= $884 : $1,596
= $884/$1,596
= 55.39%
or
0.5539 : 1
b) What is done here is to convert to each cost to its annual equivalent. The cost of Lottery tickets was converted from per week basis to per annum. The cost of food was converted from per month basis to per annum. These conversions make the two variables comparable, since they have been reduced to similar standards of measurement.

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue that hosts live concerts attended by over half a million patrons a year. A group of local organizers, led by a prominent local businesswoman, would like to use the pavilion for a concert to benefit a non-profit, national network of investors and environmental organizations working with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change. If the pavilion management agrees to host the concert, the organizers will donate all profits to Ceres (or absorb any losses).
Based on the following revenue and cost information, the organizers would like answers to several questions.
1. There are three sources of revenue for the concert:
2. Tickets will be sold for $15.50 each.
3. A large multinational corporation headquartered in Chicago will donate $2.00 per ticket sold.
4. Each concert attendee is expected to spend an average of $17.00 for parking, food, and merchandise.
5. On the expense side, there are also three components:
A popular national group has agreed to perform at the concert. Normally, the group demands a significant fixed fee to perform, but to reduce the risk for the organizers, the group has agreed to perform for $6.00 per ticket sold. The organizers will pay several companies to operate the parking, food, and merchandise concessions. They will pay $21,000 plus 15% of all parking, food, and merchandise revenue. The organizers will pay the pavilion $85,000 plus $7.00 per person attending to cover its operating expenses (production, maintenance, advertising, etc.)
Required:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
Answer:
a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?
contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95
b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?
total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000
c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?
estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975
d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold
e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?
$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54
number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold
f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?
contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95
10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95
$272,475 = $121,000 + ?
? = $151,475
you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion
Your neighbor is asking you to invest in a venture that will double your money in 7 year(s). Compute the annual rate of return that he is promising you?
Answer: 10.3%
Explanation:
The Rule of 72 is useful here. The rule of 72 can be used to calculate the amount of time it would take to double an investment by dividing 72 by the interest rate.
As we already have the number of years the formula is;
7 = 72/i
i = 72/7

Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
Answer:
a. P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States; and also P = 20 and Q = 100 in France.
b. P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States; and P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
Explanation:
Note: The part b of the requirement is not complete. The entire question is therefore represented with the complete pat b before answering the question as follows:
In both the United States and France, the demand for haircuts is given by QD=300−10P . However, in the United States, the supply is given by QS=−300+20P , while in France, the supply is given by QS=−33.33+6.67P .
Required:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
The explanation to the answers is now provided as follows:
a. What are the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In economics, an equilibrium occurs at point where the quantities demanded is equal to the quantities supplied.
Let Q denotes equilibrium quantity and P denotes equilibrium price, the equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries can therefore be calculated as follows:
In the United States
QD =300 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −300 + 20P
300 + 300 = 20P + 10P
600 = 30P
P = 600 / 30
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 in the United States.
In France
QD = 300 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
300 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
300 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
333.33 = 16.67P
P = 333.33 / 16.67
P = 20
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 300 – 10(20)
Q = 300 – 200
Q = 100
Therefore, P = 20 and Q = 100 also in France.
b. Suppose that the demand for haircuts in both countries increases by 100 units at each price, so that the new demand is QD = 400 - 10P. What are the new equilibrium prices and quantities of haircuts in the two countries?
In the United States
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −300 + 20P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −300 + 20P
400 + 300 = 20P + 10P
700 = 30P
P = 700 / 30
P = 23.33
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(23.33)
Q = 400 – 233.30
Q = 166.70
Therefore, P = 23.33 and Q = 166.70 in the United States.
In France
QD = 400 − 10P
QS= −33.33 + 6.67P
Since at equilibrium, QD = QS, we can therefore solve for P by equating the two equations above as follows:
400 - 10P = −33.33 + 6.67P
400 + 33.33 = 6.67P + 10P
433.33 = 16.67P
P = 433.33 / 16.67
P = 25.99 = 26
To obtain equilibrium quantity, we substitute P = 20 into any QD and QS since at equilibrium QD = QS. Using QD, we have:
Q = 400 – 10(26)
Q = 400 – 260
Q = 140
Therefore, P = 26 and Q = 140 in France.
asper makes a $28,000, 90-day, 8.5% cash loan to Clayborn Co. The amount of interest that Jasper will collect on the loan is: (Use 360 days a year.)
Answer:
$595
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of interest is shown below:-
Amount of interest = Loan amount × Interest rate × Number of days ÷ Number of days in a year
= $28,000 × 8.5% × 90 ÷ 360
= $595
Therefore for computing the amount of interest we simply applied the above formula.
And the same is to be considered

You have a tax basis of ​$ and a useful life of five years and no salvage value. Provide a depreciation schedule ​(dk for k1​5) for ​% declining balance with switchover to straight line. Specify the year to switchover. Determine the depreciation amounts using the ​% declining balance and​ straight-line methods and BV amounts for each year
Answer:
the numbers are missing, so I will use another question as an example:
the asset's cost is $100,000useful life is 5 yearsno salvage value150% declining balancestraight line depreciation = $100,000 / 5 = $20,000
150% declining balance depreciation year 1 = 1.5 x $100,000 x 1/5 = $30,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 1 = $100,000 - $30,000 = $70,000
straight line deprecation = $70,000 / 4 = $17,500
150% declining balance depreciation year 2 = 1.5 x $70,000 x 1/5 = $28,000, since it is higher than straight line we will use declining balance
book value at end of year 2 = $70,000 - $28,000 = $42,000
straight line depreciation = $42,000 / 3 = $14,000, since it is higher than declining balance we will use straight line ⇒ switchover year
150% declining balance depreciation year 3 = 1.5 x $42,000 x 1/5 = $12,600
book value at end of year 3 = $42,000 - $14,000 = $28,000
depreciation year 4 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 4 = $28,000 - $14,000 = $14,000
depreciation year 5 = $14,000 (straight line)
book value at end of year 5 = $14,000 - $14,000 = $0
Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:
Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer:
Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06
Explanation:
Total cost of material= Cost of material in beginning WIP + Cost of material incurred in February
= $48,000 + $328,050
= $376,050
Equivalent units = Number of units completed and transferred+ Ending inventory
= 150,000 units + 32,500 units
= 182,500 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material = Total cost of direct material / Equivalent units
= $376,050 / 182,500 units
= $2.06
