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.
Answer:

Therefore, the cost which changes or varies in the proportion to change in the volume of the activity is known or referred as variable cost.
Answer:
Depreciation expense in 2019 is $144,050
Explanation:
O’Dell Vegetables uses the straight-line method of depreciation, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:
Depreciation Expense = (Cost of machine − Salvage Value )/Useful Life
From July 1, 2016 to 2018:
Annual Depreciation Expense = ($984,000 - $140,000)/8 = $105,500
Depreciation Expense in 2016 = $105,500x6/12 = $52,750
Accumulated Depreciation (end 2018) = $52,750 + $105,500 + $105,500 = $263,750
From 2019, the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2023:
Salvage Value = 0 and Remaining useful life = 5 year
Depreciation Expense = (Historical Cost - Accumulated Depreciation - Salvage Value)/Remaining Useful Life = ($984,000-$263,750-0)/5 = $144,050
Depreciation in 2019 is $144,050
Calculating CLV is most helpful for Assessing the viability of any pricing strategy.

What is customer lifetime value?
The total amount of money a client is anticipated to spend with your company or on your products over the course of an average business relationship is known as customer lifetime value.
If you can reach a CLV that is between three and five times your cost per new customer, it is a good range. Therefore, you should strive for a CLV of at least $450 if you are investing an average of $150 in acquiring a new customer.
The formula for customer lifetime value is: CLV = Average Transaction Size x Number of Transactions x Retention Period.
