You are analyzing two assets: collectible LEGO sets, and stock of Apple. In the last 5 years, LEGOs have had an annual volatility of 5%, annual return of 6%, and a CAPM beta (the correlation coefficient between the asset and the market risk-premium) of 1.6. Apple has had an annual volatility of 10%, an annual return of 8%, and a CAPM beta of 1.2. Is the following statement true or false?
According to CAPM, Apple has a higher expected return than LEGO.
Answer:
No, Apple has lower rate of return than LEGOs.
Explanation:
Risk free rate is 2% and Market risk is 9%
Expected return can be calculated by :
E(r) = Rf + beta * (Rm - Rf)
E(r) LEGOs = 2 + 1.6 * (9 - 2)
E(r) LEGOs = 13.2%
E(r) Apple = 2 + 1.2 * (9 - 2)
E(r) Apple = 10.4%
Lily Company sells automatic can openers under a 75-day warranty for defective merchandise. Based on past experience, Lily estimates that 4% of the units sold will become defective during the warranty period. Management estimates that the average cost of replacing or repairing a defective unit is $20. The units sold and units defective that occurred during the last 2 months of 2020 are as follows:
Months Units Sold Units Defective Prior to December 31
November 37,300 746
December 39,300 491
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the estimated liability for warranties and the costs incurred in honoring 1,237 warranty claims.
b. Determine the estimated warranty liability at December 31 for the units sold in November and December.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
In November month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 37,300
= 1,492
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units is
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,492 × $20
= $29,840
In December month:
Estimated defective units:
= Estimated Percentage to be defective units × Units sold
= 4% × 39,300
= 1,572
The Estimated cost of repairing defective units:
= Estimated defective units × Estimated cost of repairing the defective unit
= 1,572 × $20
= $31,440
Now the Total estimated liability is
= $29,840 + $31,440
= $61,280
The Journal entries are as follows:
(a) Warranty expenses A/c Dr. $61,280
To Estimated warranty payable $61,280
(Being warranty expense is recorded)
Estimated warranty payable A/c Dr. $24,740
To Cash/ Material consume $24,740
(being cash paid is recorded)
(b) The estimated warranty liability is $61,280

Explanation:
A coal-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.07 per kilowatt-hour when running at its full capacity of 30 megawatts per hour, $0.16 per kilowatt-hour when running at 20 megawatts per hour, and $0.24 per kilowatt-hour when running at 10 megawatts per hour. A gas-fired power plant can produce electricity at a variable cost of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour at any capacity from 1 megawatt per hour to its full capacity of 5 megawatts per hour. The cost of constructing a coal-fired plant is $70 million, but it costs only $14 million to build a gas-fired plant.
Required:
a. Consider a city that has a peak afternoon demand of 80 megawatts of electricity. If it wants all plants to operate at full capacity, what combination of coal-fired plants and gas-fired plants would minimize construction costs?
b. How much will the city spend on building that combination of plants?
c. What will the average cost per kilowatt-hour be if you average over all 80 megawatts that are produced by that combination of plants?
Answer:
a-The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b-Total construction cost is $196 Million.
c-The average cost is $0.0825 per killowatt-hour.
Explanation:
a
In order to estimate the best combination of the two, consider the following linear programming model
[tex]30X+5Y\leq80\\X\geq0\\Y\geq0[/tex]
with minimizing function as [tex]70X+14Y[/tex]
This yeilds in the optimum solution of 2 coal fired plants and 4 gas fired plants with minimum construction costs.
The construction of 2 coal-fired plants and 4 gas-fired plants will have minimum construction costs.
b
The construction cost is as follows
Number of coal-fired plants=2
Number of gas-fired plants=4
Total Cost=(Cost of 1 Coal-Fired Plant*Number of coal-fired plants)+(Cost of 1 Gas-Fired Plant*Number of gas-fired plants)
[tex]\text{Total Cost}=(70\times 2)+(14\times4)\\\text{Total Cost}=140+56\\\text{Total Cost}=\$196 \text{Million}[/tex]
Total construction cost is $196 Million.
c
Average Cost of Electrici[tex]\text{Average Cost}=\text{Fraction of Coal-Fired}\times\text{Cost of Coal-Fired}+\text{Fraction of Gas-Fired}\times\text{Cost of Gas-Fired}\\\text{Average Cost}=\text{0.75}\times\text{0.07}+\text{0.25}\times\text{0.12}\\\text{Average Cost}=\$0.0525+\$0.03\\\text{Average Cost}=\$0.0825[/tex]ty production is given by estimating the share of electricity produced by coal-fired plants and gas-fired plants
Total energy=80 MW
Energy produced by Coal-Fired Plants at full capacity=2*30=60 MW
Energy produced by Gas-Fired Plants at full capacity=4*5=20 MW
Fraction of Coal-Fired Plants is given as
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Coal-Fired Share}}{\text{Total Energy}}=\dfrac{60}{80}=0.75[/tex]
Fraction of Gas-Fired Plants is given as
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Gas-Fired Share}}{\text{Total Energy}}=\dfrac{20}{80}=0.25[/tex]
Cost of Producing KW-hr by Coal-Fired Plant is $0.07
Cost of Producing KW-hr by Gas-Fired Plant is $0.12
So
[tex]\text{Average Cost}=[\text{Fraction}_{Coal-Fired}\times\text{Cost per KW-hr}_{Coal-Fired}]+[\text{Fraction}_{Gas-Fired}\times\text{Cost per KW-hr}_{Gas-Fired}]\\\text{Average Cost}=(0.75\times0.07)+(0.25\times0.12)\\\text{Average Cost}=(0.0525)+(0.03)\\\text{Average Cost}=\$0.0825[/tex]The average cost is $0.0825 per killowatt-hour.
Melissa is a crafting machine! She has used this time in quarantine to finesses her skills and has decided to open up a booth at the Groove Street Farmers Market (Monday’s 4-7pm). She does this for fun but before making her next batch of inventory wants to know which products, she should make to maximize her profit. She makes soaps and candles. The soap sells for $18 and the candles sell for $25. The soap requires coconut oil (2 tablespoons), essential oil (5 drops), and soap base (1 per item). The candles require coconut oil (3 tablespoons), essential oil (8 drops), and wax (1 per item). Coconut oil is $12 a jar and contains 112 tablespoons. Essential oils are $50 a container and contains 150 drops. A soap base is 2$ and a wax base is $2.25. Melissa currently has 3 jars of coconut oil, 2.5 bottles of essential oil, 25 soap bases, and 25 wax bases. If Melissa wants to maximize her profit how many soaps and candles should she make for her next both?
Answer:
The maximum profit of $847.03 occurs when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.
Explanation:
The linear programming equations forms as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Soap=Cost of Soap Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Soap base is $2.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one soap is [tex]\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 soap is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$\dfrac{2}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{5}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$2+\$0.21428+\$1.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Soap}=\$3.8808[/tex]
So the cost of producing one bar of soap is 3.8808
So the profit per soap is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $18 for soap so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$18-\$3.8808\\\text{Profit}=\$14.1192[/tex]
Profit per soap is $14.1192.
Similarly the cost of producing 1 candle is as follows:
Cost of producing 1 Candle=Cost of Wax Base+Cost of Coconut Oil+Cost of Essential Oil
Cost of Wax base is $2.25.
Cost of Coconut Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12[/tex].
Cost of Essential Oil for one candle is [tex]\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50[/tex]
So the total cost of 1 candle is
[tex]\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$\dfrac{3}{112}\times12+\$\dfrac{8}{150}\times50\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$2.25+\$0.32142+\$2.6666\\\text{Cost of producing 1 Candle}=\$5.2380[/tex]
So the cost of producing one candle is $35.2380
So the profit per candle is
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}[/tex]
Here selling price is $25 for a candle so
[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost}\\\text{Profit}=\$25-\$5.2380\\\text{Profit}=\$19.7620[/tex]
Profit per candle is $19.7620.
If the number of soaps produced is X and the number of candles produced is Y then the maximization function of profit is given as
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Also the constraints are given as follows:
If Melissa has 3 jars of coconut oil and each jar has 112 tablespoons thus the total tablespoons Melissa has are 336. If 2 tablespoon coconut oil is used for 1 soap and 3 tablespoons are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336[/tex]
Similarly, Melissa has 2.5 containers of essential oil and each container has 150 drops thus the total drops Melissa has are 375. If 5 drops of essential oil are used for 1 soap and 8 drops are used for 1 candle thus
[tex]5X+8Y\leq375[/tex]
For the soap bases, each soap uses 1 soap bases and total soap bases are 25 thus
[tex]X\leq25[/tex]
Similarly, for the wax base, each candle uses 1 wax base, and the total wax bases are 25 thus.
[tex]Y\leq25[/tex]
So the linear programming model becomes
[tex]2X+3Y\leq336\\5X+8Y\leq375\\X\leq25\\Y\leq25[/tex]
with maximization of
[tex]Z=f(X,Y)=14.1192X+19.7620Y[/tex]
Now solving this using the graphical method of linear programming as attached gives:
The maximum profit of 847.03 occur when Melissa produces 25 soaps and 25 candles.
Understanding that unemployment benefits give workers the incentive to not look for work until their benefits run out, suppose an economist suggested that instead of giving workers up to 26 weeks of unemployment benefits that end once the person finds work, a person who loses his or her job would just get a single big check for 26 weeks of benefits, regardless of how long the worker is unemployed. Which of the following are true?
1. It is likely to reduce unemployment by increasing the incentives to look for work earlier.
2. It would be costly.
3. It would reduce the incentive to work.
4. It would have to be combined with skill training.
Answer:
1. It is likely to reduce unemployment by increasing the incentives to look for work earlier.
2. It would be costly.
Explanation:
A worker who had received the benefits of unemployment has now added incentive for looking in to work earlier. But the cost will increase since the incentive provided for the entire period of the 52 weeks which is not limited to the period of how long the person took to get employment again.
So it is most likely to decrease the unemployment by an increase in the incentive to look for work again. And it this would also increased the cost.
Calculate amortization expense
In early January, Burger Mania acquired 100% of the common stock of the Crispy Taco restaurant chain. The purchase price allocation included the following items: $4 million, patent; $5 million, trademark considered to have an indefinite useful life; and $6 million, goodwill. Burger Mania's policy is to amortize intangible assets with finite useful lives using the straight-line method, no residual value, and a five-year service life.
What is the total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items? (Enter your answers in dollars, not in millions.
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
The total amount of amortization expense that would appear in Burger Mania's income statement for the first year ended December 31 related to these items will be:
Ammortization value = Patent value / Useful life
= $4,000,000 / 5
= $800,000
Therefore, the ammortization value is $800,000 per year.

Wesley's adjusted basis for the house is $200,000. He owned and occupied the house for seven years. On October 1, 2017, Wesley purchases another residence for $325,000.
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is __________
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is ___________
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is _____________, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is __________
Answer:
a. Wesley's recognized gain on the sale is $0.
b. Wesley's adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000
c. Assume instead that the selling price is $800,000.
Wesley's recognized gain is $326,520, and his adjusted basis for the new residence is $325,000.
Explanation:
Wesley's actual gain = $363,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $139,520, but it can all be excluded using section 121.
If the selling price is $800,000;
Wesley's actual gain = $800,000 - $21,780 - $600 - $300 - $800 - $200,000 = $576,520, but he can exclude $250,000, so his recognized gain = $326,520
The following costs related to Summertime Company for a relevant range of up to 20,000 units annually: Variable Costs: Direct materials $2.50 Direct labor 0.75 Manufacturing Overhead 1.25 Selling and administrative 1.50 Fixed Costs: Manufacturing overhead $10,000 Selling and Administrative 5,000 The selling price per unit of product is $15.00. At a sales volume of 15,000 units, what is the total cost for Summertime Company
Answer:
Total cost= $105,000
Explanation:
Because the 15,000 units are in the relevant range, the fixed costs remain constant. Now, we need to calculate the total cost of 15,000 units:
Direct material= 15,000*2.5= 37,500
Direct labor= 15,000*0.75= 11,250
Variable overhead= 15,000*1.25= 18,750
Variable selling and administrative= 15,000*1.5= 22,500
Total variable cost= $90,000
Total fixed costs= $15,000
Total cost= $105,000

Berry Corp. is considering an investment with an initial cost of $250,000. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. The investment is expected to generate cash revenues of $200,000 and incur cash costs of $120,000 each year for the next four years. Assume straight line depreciation with no salvage value is appropriate. What is the investment's annual rate of return
Answer:
14%
Explanation:
Depreciation = Cost - Residual value / Useful life
Depreciation = ($250,000 - 0)/4
Depreciation = $62,500
Annual net earnings = Revenue - Cost - Depreciation
Annual net earnings = $200,000 - $120,000 - $62,500
Annual net earnings = $17,500
Annual rate of return = Annual net earnings / Average investment
Annual rate of return = $17,500/ [($250,000 + $0) /2]
Annual rate of return = $17,500 / $125,000
Annual rate of return = 0.14
Annual rate of return = 14%
In October, Pine Company reports 18,200 actual direct labor hours, and it incurs $217,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Standard hours allowed for the work done is 21,700 hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $10.15 per direct labor hour. In addition, the flexible manufacturing overhead budget shows that budgeted costs are $8.45 variable per direct labor hour and $43,100 fixed.
Required:
Compute the overhead controllable variance.
Answer:
$7,295 ( favourable)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Actual direct labor hours = 18,200
Manufacturing OH cost = $217,000
Standard hours allowed = 21,700
Budgeted cost = $8.45
Budgeted fixed cost = $43,100
So, we can calculate overhead controllable variance by using following formula,
Overhead controllable variance = Budgeted OH (actual ) - Actual manufacturing Overhead
Where, Budgeted OH (actual ) = (21,700 × $8.35) + $43,100 = $224,295
By putting the value in the formula, we get
Overhead controllable variance = $224,295 - $217,000
= $7,295 ( favourable)

Shown below is a segmented income statement for Mullett Marina’s three main boating service lines:
Winter Storage Boat Fuel & Boat Total
Concessions Maintenance
Sales revenue $4,000,000 $1,000,000 $5,000,000 $10,000,000
Less: Variable expenses 2,000,000 200,000 4900,000 7,100,000
Contribution margin $2,000,000 $800,000 $100,000 $2,900,000
Less direct fixed expenses:
Garage/warehouse rent 700,000 55,000 350,000 1,105,000
Supervision 50,000 70,000 150,000 270,000
Equipment depreciation 250,000 75,000 100,000 425,000
Segment margin $1,000,000 $600,000 $(500,000) $1,100,000
Relevant fixed costs associated with this line include 60% of Boat Maintenance’s garage/warehouse rent and 50% of Boat Maintenance’s supervision salaries. In addition, assume that dropping the Boat Maintenance service line would reduce sales of the Winter Storage line by 20% and sales of the Boat Fuel & Concessions line by 10%. All other information remains the same.
Required:
1. If the Boat Maintenance service line is dropped, what is the contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line? For the Winter Storage line?
2. Which alternative (keep or drop the Boat Maintenance line) is now more cost effective and by how much?
Answer:
1. We have:
Contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line = $700,000
Contribution margin for the Winter Storage line = $1,200,000
2. Keeping Boat Maintenance service line by $630,000.
Explanation:
Note that after dropping Boat Maintenance service line, its Sales revenue and Variable expenses will be eliminated while all the fixed costs will be retained. This is because, generally in Management Accounting, the fact that a a fixed cost is a direct cost does NOT mean that it is avoidable.
Note: See part a of the attached excel for the Segmented Income Statement Before Dropping Boat Maintenance service line, and see part b of the attached excel for the Segmented Income Statement After Dropping Boat Maintenance service line.
1. If the Boat Maintenance service line is dropped, what is the contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line? For the Winter Storage line?
In the part b of the attached excel, we have:
Contribution margin for the Boat Fuel & Concessions line = $700,000
Contribution margin for the Winter Storage line = $1,200,000
2. Which alternative (keep or drop the Boat Maintenance line) is now more cost effective and by how much?
From the part a of the attached excel file, we have:
Operating income before dropping Boat Maintenance service line = $815,000
Operating income after dropping Boat Maintenance service line = -$185,000
Cost saving = $815,000 - $185,000 = $630,000
Therefore, keeping Boat Maintenance service line by $630,000.

Debt: 2,000 par value bonds with a 15-year maturity, 7.2% coupon, which are currently selling for 105 percent of par. Common stock: 1M shares outstanding, selling for $20 per share, and a fixed dividend of $2.50 per year. Preferred stock: 9,500 shares of preferred stock with a 6 percent required return, currently selling for $55 per share. What is the company's WACC
Answer:
17.03 %
Explanation:
WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock
where,
Cost of Debt is calculated as :
Per $100 of bonds
FV = $100
PV = ($105)
PMT = $100 x 7.20% = $7.20
N = 15
P/yr = 1
r = ?
Using a financial calculator to enter values as above, cost of debt (r) is 6.66%
We always use after tax cost of debt
Therefore,
After tax cost of debt = interest x (1 - tax rate)
= 4.995%
therefore,
WACC = 12.50 % x 96.51% + 4.995% x 0.965 + 6.00 % x 2.52 %
= 17.03 %
Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Lorenzo and Neha are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right, Lorenzo will receive a payoff of 6 and Neha will receive a payoff of 5
Neha
Left Right
Lorenzo Left 8,4 4,5
Right 5,4 6,5
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Answer:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is a strategy that results in a player being better off no matter the choice his or her opponent in a game.
For this game, when Lorenzo plays Left, Neha will choose Right because 5 > 4. Also, when Lorenzo plays Right, Neha will still choose Right because 5 > 4. This shows that Neha will always play Right no matter what Lorenzo plays. This implies the dominant strategy for Neha is Right.
On the other hand, when Neha plays Left, Lorenzo will also play Left because 8 > 5. But when Neha plays Right, Lorenzo will choose will also play Right because 6 > 4. This shows that Lorenzo does not have any particular strategy that make him better off. Therefore, Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
Therefore, we have:
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
Based on the analysis above, the only dominant strategy in this game is for Neha to choose Right.
This is because the dominant strategy for Neha is Right, but Lorenzo does not have a dominant strategy.
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .
Based on the analysis above, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right.
The reason is that Neha will always play Right and Lorenzo will be better of by also playing Right because 6 > 4.
At the beginning of 2020, Concord Company acquired a mine for $3,251,600. Of this amount, $124,000 was ascribed to the land value and the remaining portion to the minerals in the mine. Surveys conducted by geologists have indicated that approximately 12,100,000 units of ore appear to be in the mine. Concord incurred $210,800 of development costs associated with this mine prior to any extraction of minerals. It also determined that the fair value of its obligation to prepare the land for an alternative use when all of the mineral has been removed was $49,600. During 2020, 2,634,000 units of ore were extracted and 1,894,000 of these units were sold.
Required:
a. Compute the total amount of depletion for 2020.
b. Compute the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Answer:
A. $737,520
B. $530,320
Explanation:
a. Computation for the total amount of depletion for 2020.
First step is to calculate the Depletion Rate
Depletion Rate = ($3,251,600 - $124,000 + $49,600 + $210,800)/12,100,000
Depletion Rate= $3,388,000/ 12,100,000
Depletion Rate= 0.28
Now let calculate the total amount of depletion for 2020.
2020 Total amount of depletion= 0.28 × $2,634,000
2020 Total amount of depletion= $737,520
Therefore the total amount of depletion for 2020 is $737,520
B. Computation for the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020.
Expense amount charged= ($737,520/$2,634,000)* 1,894,000
Expense amount charged=0.28 *1,894,000
Expense amount charged=$530,320
Therefore the amount that is charged as an expense for 2014 for the cost of the minerals sold during 2020 is $530,320
A process control system costs $200,000, has a three year service life, and a salvage value of $20,000. Find the depreciation and book value for all three years using each of the following methods: a. Straight line depreciation (20 points) b. Sum of year digits depreciation (20 points) c. Double declining balance depreciation (20 points)
Answer:
A.
Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $140,000
Book value at the end of year 2 =$80,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $20,000
B.
Depreciation expense in year 1 =$90,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 =$60,000
Depreciation expense in year 3 =$30,000
Book value at the end of year 1 =$110,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $50,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $20,000
C.
Depreciation expense in year 1 = $133,333.33
Book value at the end of year 1 = $66,666.67
Depreciation expense in year 2 = $44,444.45
Book value at the end of year 2 = $22,222.22
Depreciation expense in year 3 = $14,814.16
Book value at the end of year 3 = $7,407.40
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($200,000 - $20,000) / 3 = $60,000
Depreciation expense each of the three years would be $60,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $60,000 = $140,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $140,000 - $60,000 = $80,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000
Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
Sum of the years = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 years
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (3/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $90,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $60,000
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (1/6) x ($200,000 - $20,000) = $30,000
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $90,000 = $110,000
Book value at the end of year 2 = $110,000 - $60,000 = $50,000
Book value at the end of year 3 = $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/3
Depreciation expense in year 1 = (2/3) x $200,000 = $133,333.33
Book value at the end of year 1 = $200,000 - $133,333.33 = $66,666.67
Depreciation expense in year 2 = (2/3) x $66,666.67 = $44,444.45
Book value at the end of year 2 = $66,666.67 - $44,444.45= $22,222.22
Depreciation expense in year 3 = (2/3) x$22,222.22 = $14,814.16
Book value at the end of year 3 =$22,222.22 - $14,814.16 = $7,407.40
As a condition of being allowed to apply for a job with Good Hands Industries, Charles is asked to waive his right to object to workplace searches. After signing the waiver, he is offered a job, and he accepts it. Sometime later, he is subjected to a search. If Charles seeks legal redress on the grounds that the search violated his privacy rights, his employer:_________-
A. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was not given voluntarily.
B. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because Charles did not grant it intentionally.
C. will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer.
D. will be able to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given in exchange for valuable consideration.
Answer:
The answer is C (will be unable to successfully assert the waiver as a defense because it was given by Charles prior to his job offer).
Explanation:
In the employment setting, there are instances where an employer could violate an employee privacy right. For instance, the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure could be very strict on a public employer compared to a private employer where the private employers are given some degree of power too. Searching employees without their consent would be directly proportional to their breach of privacy that they have right to. Charles seeking legal redress is permitted since he initially signed to waive his right to object to workplace searches prior to his job offer. At every point where workplace searches is required by the employer especially when the searches are not done at public open places, the employee consent should be required too.
