Answer:
a. $9,000
b. $22,000 and $11,000
c. $5,220 and $6,660
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the two years are shown below:
a) Straight-line method:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($44,000 - $8,000) ÷ (4 years)
= ($36,000) ÷ (4 years)
= $9,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
So, in year 2021 and 2022, the depreciation expense would be $9,000
(b) Double-declining balance method:
First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 4
= 25%
Now the rate is double So, 50%
In year 2021, the original cost is $44,000, so the depreciation is $22,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate
And, in year 2022, the $22,000 × 50% = $11,000. The $22,000 is come from $44,000 - $22,000
(c) Units-of-production method:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production)
= ($44,000 - $8,000) ÷ (20,000 hours)
= ($36,000) ÷ (20,000 hours
= $1.8 per hours
For the 2021, it would be
= Production hours in 2021 year × depreciation per hour
= 2,900 hours × $1.8
= $5,220
Now for the 2022 year, it would be
= Production hours in 2022 year × depreciation per hour
= 3,700 hours × $1.8
= $6,660
Answer:
Store A = 3.4521
Store B = 2.9589
Store C = 4.4384
Explanation:
Store A charges ADB method
purchase made on 5th first payment on 15th of 100
so from 5th to 15th Average daily balance =300 for 10 days
then from 15th to 4th for remaining 20 days average daily balance = 200
Average Daily Balance = (300*10+200*20)/30
Total finance charge = ADB*(APR*(Days/365))
=300*((0.18)*(10/365))+200*((0.18)*(20/365))
= 1.4795+1.9726=3.4521
Store B
Adjusted Balance Method uses adjusted balance to calculate the charges
Adjusted balance=Starting balance adjusted for credit and debit
Adjusted balance =300-100=200
Financial Charges = 200*(.18*(30/365))=2.9589
Store C
Previous Balance Method the interest is calculated on amount of balance carried from previous billing cycle
Balance Carried = 300
Charges =300*(.18*(30/365))= 4.4384
Answer:
Store A finance charge = $140.625
Store B finance charge = $90
Store C finance charge = $202.5
Explanation:
Store A
Average daily balance Finance Charge
(300*200)/2 = $250 3.75(250*0.15) = $140.625
Store B
Adjusted balance method
(300-100) = $200 3.00*(200*0.15) = $90
Store C
Previous balance method
300 - 0 = $300 4.50(300*0.15) = $202.5
i do not what your talking about
Sales data is available for the first seven years (See below). As part of your analysis on the outlook for this industry:
a) How would you characterize the future for tablets? Are consumers crazy about this technology or are luke warm?
b) Prepare a five year forecast for this industry; has the market reached its peak (please identify the demand peak).
Please use the Bass Model Estimator provided. Use the spreadsheet tab called "Analysis Report"
Please clearly provide market size assumptions and justifications.
Year Annual Sales (Units Sold)
2010 3,000,000
2011 10,000,000
2012 25,000,000
2013 34,000,000
2014 39,000,000
2015 45,000,000
2016 51,000,000
Answer:
a) According to the published sales statistics, it appears that the initial release of tablets in 2010 was warmly accepted by customers, since sales increased quickly in the years that followed. With only a 13% rise in revenue from 2015 to 2016, the rate of growth has slowed recently. This shows that customer enthusiasm for the technology may be waning.
b) We will utilize the Bass Model Estimator available on the "Analysis Report" page to project sales over the following five years. The "coefficient of innovation" (p) of this model accounts for the number of customers who have embraced the technology as well as the number of potential consumers who have not yet adopted the technology but may be persuaded to do so.
Explanation:
Answer:
July 1st: Debit Cash=$1,200 Credit Interest Received=$1,200
December 31st: Debit Interest Receivable=$1,200, Credit Interest Earned= $1,200
Explanation:
July 1st Receipt of Interest
Step 1: Calculate Interest Receivable for the entire Year
=($40,000×6%)= 40,000×0.06= $2,400
=$2,400
Step 2:Calculate Interest Receivable for the first 6 months (Semi-annual Payment)
January 1st to July 1st is 6 Months, we therefore divide the annual interest receivable into 2
$2,400÷2=$1,200
Step 3: Entries for the July 1 Receipt of Interest
Debit Cash = $1,200
Credit Interest Received=$1,200
Step 4: Calculate the Interest Accrual for the Decembe 31st
Between July 1st and December 31st is equally 6 months, therefore, the remaining $1,200 is for the second half of the year.
Step 5: Entries for December 31st Interest Accrual
Debit Interest Receivable = $1,200
Credit Interest Earned= $1,200
Answer: External opportunity
Explanation:
External opportunities are legal, political, economical, social, technological, environmental and cultural factors that may benefit an organization. External opportunities are beyond the control the organization.
In the scenario illustrated, the act of terrorism in the United States on 11th September 2001, led to a growth in cruise travel. This is an example of external opportunity as the growth wasn't caused by an internal factor.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": Neither of them is correct, as determining the costs of the Act is possible, but determining the benefits is not fully possible.
Explanation:
The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act Of 2002 is a legislative response to several corporate scandals that sent shock waves through the world financial markets. The SOX attempts to strengthen corporate oversight and improve internal control. The main purpose of SOX is to protect shareholders from fraudulent representation in corporate financial statements.
In regards to the Roland Company case, the cost of implementing SOX will be a more strict accounting and financial book-keeping. This could provide the company with more accurate information that helps to make better corporate decisions but the benefits cannot be fully measured.
The question as to whether the costs or benefits of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act outweigh each other depends on the specific circumstances of the company and how one interprets these costs and benefits. Nevertheless, the Act is generally understood to enhance transparency, reduce fraud, and build investor confidence.
This is a subjective question as it pertains to the perception of costs and benefits under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. One cannot definitively say if Ken or his boss is correct without having a complete picture of the Roland Company's financial situation and understanding of the Act's implications. However, the premise of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is to increase transparency in financial reporting, reduce incidents of corporate fraud, and protect shareholders. While the act does impose significant administrative costs, many argue that its benefits in promoting investor confidence outweigh these costs. Thus, it could be argued that the views of Ken’s boss would align more with the overall objective of the Act.
