Answer:
The answer is A. Yes, Cindy should hire 12th worker.
Explanation:
Please see the below for detailed calculations and explanations:
By increasing one employees, Cindy's cupcakes shop marginal cost per day will increase by the amount equals to the salary and benefit of the 12th in one day which is: $100;
The benefits brought back to Cindy's shop is the increase in marginal revenue of $150 ( calculated as $2,750 - $2,600).
As marginal revenue is higher than marginal cost in case the 12th employees is hired, Cindy should hire one more employees as it will increase her total profit at the end of the day by $50 ( i.e Marginal revenue - Marginal cost = 150 - 100 =$50).
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The cash budget and the capital budget are developed separately, and although they are both important to the firm, one does not affect the other. b. Since depreciation is a non-cash charge, it neither appears on nor has any effect on the cash budget. c. Shorter-term cash budgets, in general, are used primarily for planning purposes, while longer-term budgets are used for actual cash control. d. The typical cash budget reflects interest paid on loans as well as income from the investment of surplus cash. These numbers, as well as other items on the cash budget, are expected values; hence, actual results might vary from the budgeted amounts. e. The target cash balance should be set such that it need not be adjusted for seasonal patterns and unanticipated fluctuations in receipts, although it should be changed to reflect long-term changes in the firm's operations.
Answer:
e- The typical cash budget reflects interest paid on loans as well as income from the investment of surplus cash. These numbers, as well as other items on the cash budget, are expected values; hence, actual results might vary from the budgeted amounts.
Explanation:
Cash budgets are the budgets that are prepared to forecast the cashflows of the company. The amounts appearing in the Cash budget statement are the budgeted amounts measured by the company.
However, the interest to be paid on loans in the next year is a pre-determined value i.e. the rates of interest on loan are fixed and the return on investment is also fixed. Hence, these both values can be determined exactly. The other amounts appearing on the budget statement are forecasted amounts and the actual results may vary from the budgeted amounts.
Suppose an investment will have an initial positive cash flow of $100,000 in year 0, followed by a negative cash flow of $110,000 in period 1. Thus, the IRR of the project is 10%. Should we accept or reject the project if the required return is 15%?
Answer: Reject the Project
Explanation:
If the required return (also known as hurdle rate) is 15% (which is above the Internal Rate of Return of 10%) then the project or investment is less profitable.
The required return is the minimum return that will repay initial investment and other input.
Since the actual or eventual rate of return (IRR) is less than this required minimum, the project should be rejected.
On the other hand, if the investor has no alternative project to invest in or if the investor no time constraints, he or she can wait to see the Internal Rate of Return in succeeding periods or years like Period 2, Period 3, etcetera.
Treasury stock shares are________________.a. unissued shares that are held by the treasurer of the corporation.b. part of the total outstanding shares but not part of the total issued shares of a corporation.c. shares held by the U.S. Treasury Department.d. issued shares that have been reacquired by a corporation.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": issued shares that have been reacquired by a corporation.
Explanation:
Treasury stock is a company's own stock that is held in its treasury for later years. Often, a company purchases its treasury stocks on the open market. Treasury stocks may also exist because the issuing company did not sell all of its outstanding shares. Some were held back for later years to raise additional cash or to prevent a hostile takeover.

For the past 50 days, daily sales of a specialty product in a large grocery store have been recorded:Units Sold Number of Times10 820 1830 1040 850 61.What is the average number of units sold?2.What is the standard deviation?3.What is a 68.26% confidence interval? Please interpret.4.Suppose that the following random numbers were obtained:.86 .23 .73 .40 .95 Use these random numbers to simulate 5 days of sales.a.What is the average number of units sold?b.Can we conclude that the sales are random? Discuss.
Answer:
(A) what is the average number of units sold for 50 days: 820, 1830, 1040, 850, 6
(B) what is the standard deviation
(C) what is the average number of units sold for 5 days: 86, 23, 73, 40, 95
(D) can we conclude that the sales are random?
Explanation:
(A)
(820×10) + (1830×10) + (1040×10) + (850×10) + (6×10) = 45,460
45,460÷50 = 909.2units
(B)
(909.2-820)^2 × 10 = total squared mean deviation of the first 10 sales or 10days - sales of 820 per day
Doing same for the other 4 values, the total of squared mean deviation for the 5 days is
16922128÷50 = 338442.56 = Variance of the set of sales values
Standard Deviation is the square root of Variance so it is 581.758
(C) Mean of random units sold in 5 days: 317÷5 = 63.4
(D) for 50 days, mean sale was 909.2 units
For 5 days, random mean sale was 63.4
50÷5=10
909.2÷63.4=14.34
Yes, we can conclude that the sales are random
Suppose a gift shop in Myrtle Beach has an annual demand for 15,000 units for a souvenir kitchen magnet that it buys for $0.50 per unit. Assume it costs $10 to place an order and the inventory carrying cost is 25% of the item's unit cost. Use Solver to determine the optimal order quantity if the company wants to minimize the total cost of procuring this item.
a. What is the optimal order quantity? If necessary, round your answer to a whole number.
Answer:
1,549 units
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}[/tex]
where,
Annual demand is 15,000 units
Ordering cost is $10 per unit
And, the carrying cost = $0.50 per unit × 25% = 0.125
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{15,000}\times \text{\$10}}{\text{\$0.125}}}[/tex]
= 1,549 units
We considered all the things i.e annual demand, ordering cost and the carrying cost so that the correct quantity can come.

Answer:
1.
Debit Depreciation Expense $2,000
Credit Accumulated depreciation $2,000
2.
Debit Cash $58,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation account $56,000
Debit Loss on asset disposal $12,000

3.
Debit Cash $80,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation account $56,000
Credit Gain on asset disposal $10,000
Credit Delivery truck asset $126,000
Explanation:
Farm Fresh uses straight-line depreciation, Depreciation Expense each year is calculated by following formula:
Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of asset − Residual Value )/Useful Life = ($126,000-$30,000)/8 = $12,000
Depreciation Expense in 2013 = ($12,000/12)x6 = $6,000
1. From January 1, 2018 to March 1, 2018, the truck was in service for 2 months
Depreciation Expense in 2018 = ($12,000/12)x2 = $2,000
The entry:
Debit Depreciation Expense $2,000
Credit Accumulated depreciation $2,000
2.
From July 1, 2013 to March 1, 2018, the truck was in service for 4years and 8 months
Accumulated depreciation = $6,000 + $12,000 x 4 + $2,000 = $56,000
Carrying amount of the asset = Cost of asset - Accumulated depreciation = $126,000 - $56,000 = $70,000
Sale price - Carrying amount of the asset = $58,000-$70,000 = -$12,000
The company recognized loss on the sale $12,000.
The entry:
Debit Cash $58,000
Debit Accumulated depreciation account $56,000
Debit Loss on asset disposal $12,000
Credit Delivery truck asset $126,000

: Management of ProCor, a biotech firm, forecasted the following growth rates for the next three years: 35 percent, 28 percent, and 22 percent. Management then expects the company to grow at a constant rate of 9 percent forever. The company paid a dividend of $1.75 last week. If the required rate of return is 20 percent, what is the value of this stock?
The stock value is calculated using the Gordon Growth Model that incorporates forecasted growth rates, recent dividends, and the required rate of return. It includes calculating dividends for the first three years, discounting these dividends to the present, calculating a terminal price from Year 3 onwards reflecting a constant growth rate, discounting this terminal price to the present, and adding up these value for the current stock price.
Explanation:The value of a stock can be calculated using the Gordon Growth Model, which takes into account future dividends and growth rates. The model considers the company's growth rates for the first three years (35%, 28%, and 22%, respectively), an indefinite growth rate of 9%, and a dividend of $1.75 paid last week. Using these figures, calculate the dividends for each of the first three years by growing the most recent dividend by each year's growth rate. Once you have the dividends for each of the first three years, discount them by dividing each by (1+the required rate of return)the year. Keep in mind the required rate of return is 20%. After the 3rd year, the dividend grows at a constant rate of 9% indefinitely. The present value of these future dividends is called the terminal price. Find this by taking the Year 3 dividends and multiplying by 1+the constant growth rate, then dividing by the required rate of return minus the constant growth rate. Discount this back to the present by dividing by (1+the required rate of return)3. The current stock price is the sum of the discounted dividends and the discounted terminal price.

Gilberto lives in San Francisco and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Gilberto does not operate this guitar business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $38,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.
Answer:
Gilberto is NOT earning a normal profit
Explanation:
Salary Gilberto could earn = implicit.
Wholesale cost = explicit
wages and bills = explicit
rental income = implicit
Explicit cost = 45.200 + 301.000 = 753.000
Implicit cost = 38.000 + 48.000 = 86.000
revenue = 842.000
accounting profit = 842.000 -753.000 = 89.000
Economic profit = 89.000 - 86.000 = 3.000
The materials manager for a billiard ball maker must periodically place orders for resin, one of the raw materials used in producing billiard balls. She knows that manufacturing uses resin at a rate of 50 kilograms each day, and that it costs $.04 per day to carry a kilogram of resin in inventory. She also knows that the order costs for resin are $100 per order, and that the lead time for delivery is four days. If order size was 1,000 kilograms of resin, what would be the length of an order cycle?
A. 0.05 daysB. 4 daysC. 16 daysD. 20 daysE. 50 days
Answer:
D. 20 days
Explanation:
Daily usage rate: 50 kg each day
Order size: 1,000 kg
lead time: 4 days
Since the question just wants to know the length of an order cycle, all of the monetary information can be disregarded.
The company must maintain a stock, at the time of order, big enough to supply production during the lead time. Minimum stock should be:
[tex]Min = 50\frac{kg}{day} * 4\ days\\Min = 200 \ kg[/tex]
Therefore, the company must reorder when stock reaches 200 kg. The length of the order cycle is the number of days for the company to reach minimum stock added to the order lead time:
[tex]C = \frac{1000 - 200}{50} +4\ days\\C= 20\ days[/tex]
On January 1, 2017, Bensen Company leased equipment to Flynn Corporation. The following information pertains to this lease.
The term of the non-cancelable lease is 6 years. At the end of the lease term, Flynn has the option to purchase the equipment for $1,000, while the expected residual value at the end of the lease is $5,000.
Equal rental payments are due on January 1 of each year, beginning in 2017.
The fair value of the equipment on January 1, 2017, is $150,000, and its cost is $120,000.
The equipment has an economic life of 8 years. Flynn depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis.
Bensen set the annual rental to ensure a 5% rate of return. Flynn's incremental borrowing rate is 6%, and the implicit rate of the lessor is unknown.
Collectibility of lease payments by the lessor is probable. (Both the lessor and the lessee's accounting periods end on December 31.)
(a) Discuss the nature of this lease to Bensen and Flynn.
(b) Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment.
(c) Prepare all the necessary journal entries for Bensen for 2017.
(d) Suppose the collectibility of the lease payments was not probable for Bensen. Prepare all necessary journal entries for the company in 2017.
(e) Prepare all the necessary journal entries for Flynn for 2017.
(f) Discuss the effect on the journal entry for Flynn at lease commencement, assuming initial direct costs of $2,000 are incurred by Flynn to negotiate the lease.
This lease is a capital lease for Flynn and a sales-type lease for Bensen, due to the specific conditions of the lease. The annual rental payment comes out to be $29,841 using the formula PMT = PVOA / [(1 - (1 + r) ^ -n ) / r ]. Bensen and Flynn's journal entries differ based on their respective roles and if collectibility is not probable, Bensen would account for possible bad debts.
Explanation:The nature of this lease indicates that it's a capital lease for Flynn and a sales-type lease for Bensen, since the lease term is lesser than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and Flynn has an option to purchase the equipment below its expected residual value at the end of the lease term. In this situation, Flynn is effectively financing the acquisition of the equipment, while Bensen is playing the role of a financiers.
To calculate the annual rental payment, we need to use Bensen's rate of return (5%). This would equate to the present value of an annuity formula. The present value of an annuity formula is PVOA = PMT [(1 - (1 + r) ^ -n ) / r], where PMT is the annual payment, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of periods. Rearranging to solve for PMT, we get PMT = PVOA / [(1 - (1 + r) ^ -n ) / r ]. Here, PVOA is the fair value of the equipment, which is $150,000, r is 5% or 0.05, and n is the lease term, which is 6 years. Hence, the annual rental payment comes out to be around $29,840.90.
The journal entries in 2017 for Bensen would be: 1) Debit Lease Receivable for $150,000 and Credit Equipment for $120,000 and Gain on Sale for $30,000 (to record the lease agreement) 2) Debit Cash for $29,841 and Credit Lease Receivable for $29,841 (to record the collection of the lease payment) 3) Debit Interest Receivable ($120,159*0.05) and Credit Interest Revenue for the same amount (to record the recognition of interest).
If the collectibility of the lease payments wasn't probable, Bensen would have recorded a Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and would have made additional entries to record bad debt expenses. Flynn's 2017 journal entries would be: 1) Debit Leased Equipment for $150,000 and Credit Lease Obligation for the same amount (to record the lease) 2) Debit Lease Obligation for $29,841 and Credit Cash for the same amount (to make the lease payment) 3) Debit Interest Expense for $(120,159 - 29,841)*0.06) and Credit Lease Obligation for the same amount (to record interest).
If there were initial direct costs, Flynn would have included these costs in the initial measurement of the lease liability. Therefore, the journal entry would be: Debit Leased Equipment for $152,000 and Credit Lease Obligation for the same amount.

Each unit of A is composed of one unit of B, two units of C, and one unit of D. C is composed of two units of D and three units of E. Items A, C, D, and E have on-hand inventories of 20, 10, 20, and 15 units, respectively. Item B has a scheduled receipt of 10 units in Period 1, and C has a scheduled receipt of 50 units in Period 1. Lot-for-lot (L4L) is used for Items A and B. Item C requires a minimum lot size of 50 units. D and E are required to be purchased in multiples of 95 and 55, respectively. Lead times are one period for Items A, B, and C, and two periods for Items D and E. The gross requirements for A are 30 in Period 2, 30 in Period 5, and 40 in Period 8. Note: To simplify data handling to include the receipt of orders that have actually been placed in previous periods, the following five-level scheme can be used.

This question is about the computation of planned order releases for an inventory system using Materials Requirements Planning (MRP). Starting from Item A, A's order releases are calculated based on the given gross requirements and the on-hand inventory. Items B, C, D, and E's order releases are accordingly calculated considering their compositions in A or C and existing inventories.
Explanation:This question involves the principles of inventory management, particularly in the areas of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) and lot sizing methods. To solve this, we need to start off with Item A, as its gross requirements are given, and follow the bill of materials structure to determine the requirements, receipts, available balance, and planned order releases of the other items.
For Item A, the gross requirements given for period 2, 5, 8 are 30, 30, 40 respectively. Given that the on-hand inventory for A is 20, and considering the lead time of 1 period, the planned order release in period 1 would be 10 (30 requirements in period 2 - 20 on-hand inventory). Proceeding in a similar manner, the planned order releases for periods 4 and 7 would be 30 and 40 respectively.
Next, for Item B, since each unit of A requires one unit of B, the gross requirements for B would be the same as A's planned order releases i.e., 10 in period 1, 30 in period 4, and 40 in period 7.
For Item C, considering the composition of A and the scheduled receipt of 50 units in period 1, the planned order release of C would be the difference between the multiplied A's order releases and the on-hand inventory and the already scheduled receipts.
For Items D and E, considering their compositions in A and C and following a similar pattern of reasoning, their planned order releases could be calculated.
This is a simplified explanation and the real calculations could be more complex, involving consideration for safety stock and other factors.

In financial aspects, the minimal penchant to expend (MPC) is a metric that measures actuated utilization, the idea that the expansion in close to home shopper spending (utilization) happens with an increment in discretionary cash flow (pay after expenses and moves).
The extent of extra cash which people spend on utilization is known as penchant to expend. MPC is the extent of extra pay that an individual expends.
For instance, if a family unit procures one additional dollar of discretionary cashflow, and the minor affinity to expend is 0.65, at that point of that dollar, the family unit will burn through 65 pennies and spare 35 pennies. Clearly, the family unit can't spend more than the additional dollar (without getting).
As indicated by John Maynard Keynes, minimal affinity to devour is short of what one.
Concord Corporation has 5400 shares of 6%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 108000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019. The board of directors declared and paid a $14000 dividend in 2019. In 2020, $70000 of dividends are declared and paid. What are the dividends received by the preferred stockholders in 2020?
Answer:
$18,400
Explanation:
For computing the preferred dividend, first we have to find out the yearly dividend which is shown below:
= Number of shares × par value per share × dividend rate
= 5,400 shares × $50 × 6%
= $16,200
In 2019, the dividend was paid of $14,000
Remaining dividend left is $16,200 - $14,000 = $2,200
So, the total preference dividend in 2019 would be
= Yearly dividend + remaining dividend left
= $16,200 + $2,200
= $18,400
One year ago, Norbert Wagner purchased 30 shares of DUX Inc., stock for $20 per share. During the last year, DUX Inc., experienced strong earnings and paid dividends of $0.50 per share. Norbert just sold the stock for $19 per share.Ignoring taxes, Norbert’s return from investing in DUX Inc., was"A. 7.50%B. -2.50%C. -5.00%D. 7.89%
Answer:
option (B) -2.50%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Number is shares purchased = 30
Purchasing price = $20 per share
Dividend paid = $0.50 per share
Selling price of the shares = $19 per share
Now,
Total investment = 30 × $20
= $600
Total sales value = 30 × $19
= $570
Total dividend Received = 30 × $0.50
= $15
Thus,
Rate of Return from Investment
= [ { Sales - Investment + Dividend Received} ÷ Purchase Price] × 100%
= [ { $570 - $600 + $15 } ÷ $600] × 100 %
= [ -$15 ÷ $600 ] × 100 %
= - 2.50%
Hence,
The correct answer is option (B) -2.50%
A department has budgeted monthly manufacturing overhead cost of $540,000 plus $3 per direct labor hour. If a flexible budget report reflects $1,044,000 for total budgeted manufacturing cost for the month, the actual level of activity achieved during the month was: a) 348,000 direct labor hours b) 168,000 direct labor hours c) 528,000 direct labor hours d) Cannot be determined from the information provided
Answer:
b) 168,000 direct labor hours
Explanation:
The computation of the actual level of activity achieved is shown below:
= (Total budgeted manufacturing cost - budgeted monthly manufacturing overhead cost) ÷ (Rate per direct labor hour)
= ($1,044,000 - $540,000) ÷ ($3)
= $504,000 ÷ $3
= 168,000 direct labor hours
Simply we deduct the budgeted monthly manufacturing overhead cost from the total budgeted manufacturing cost and then divide it by the rate per direct labor hour so that the accurate direct labor hours could be computed

The Net Present Value (NPV) of each project is calculated using the given cash inflows, discount rates, and initial investments. The project with the higher NPV should be selected as it will generate the highest return for the company.
Explanation:The Net Present Value (NPV) is a formula that calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows of an investment using a given discount rate. To calculate the NPV for Projects A and B, we multiply respective cash inflows by the discount factor and subtract the initial investment.
For Project A, the equation will be NPV = [($28,000*PVIFA 15%, 6)] - $190,000 + ($8,900*PVIF 15%,6). Using the provided tables for the Present Value Interest Factor for Annuity (PVIFA) and the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF), we calculate the NPV.
For Project B, the formula is NPV = [($48,000*PVIFA 15%, 6)] - $190,000 + ($190,000*PVIF 15%,6). We populate the variables in the same way as Project A.
To decide which project to choose, Perit Industries should favor the one with the highest NPV, as this represents the project that promises the most wealth for the company. If both NPVs are negative, it means the projects will not provide an adequate return, and the funds should be allocated elsewhere.

On January 1, 2017, Seven Wonders Inc. signed a five-year noncancelable lease with Moss Company. The lease calls for five payments of $277,409.44 to be made at the end of each year. The leased asset has a fair value of $1,200,000 on January 1, 2017. Seven Wonders cannot renew the lease, there is no bargain purchase option, and ownership of the leased asset reverts to Moss at the lease end. The leased asset has an expected useful life of six years, and Seven Wonders uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Its incremental borrowing rate is 12%. Moss’s implicit rate of return on the lease is unknown. Seven Wonders uses a calendar year for financial reporting purposes. Both companies use ASC 840 to account for leases.
The question relates to Business, encompassing accounting and financial reporting under ASC 840, with a focus on leases, asset depreciation, and financial decision-making.
Explanation:The subject of this question is Business, specifically focused on accounting and financial reporting as per ASC 840. The question involves scenarios that include leasing agreements, purchase of assets, interest expenses, principal payments, and depreciation expenses related to business operations and financial decisions. These scenarios require an understanding of concepts such as present value calculations, depreciation methods, and lease accounting.
An example given within the context of the question is that of Treehouse, which purchased office furniture for $20,000 with a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $2,500. To calculate the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method, we would subtract the salvage value from the cost of the furniture and divide by its useful life, resulting in ($20,000 \'96 $2,500) / 10 = $1,750 per year.
In finance and accounting, accurate recording and reporting are crucial for decision-making. Depreciation affects net income and therefore can impact financial decisions, such as whether Ms. Stein should purchase a tractor, based on projected returns and an interest rate of 7%.
On January 1, Year 3, Boxwood, Inc. issues 1,000 shares of $1 par value common stock for $30 per share. Later that year, the company issues 1,000 shares of $10 par value preferred stock for $80 per share. The company’s balance sheet as of December 31, Year 3, will show total paid-in capital of:
Answer:
total paid-in capital = $110,000
Explanation:
When investors or shareholders pay a lump sum money to a company to get the stock of the that company, it is called paid-in capital.
Here, the par value = $1, therefore, additional capital per stock = $30 - $1 = $29
For preferred stock,
Par value = $10, and additional paid-in capital per stock = $(80 - 10) = $70.

On January 1, 2021, Canseco Plumbing Fixtures purchased equipment for $44,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated four-year service life is expected to be $8,000. The company expects the equipment to operate for 20,000 hours. The equipment operated for 2,900 and 3,700 hours in 2021 and 2022, respectively.Required:a. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using straight line method.b. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using double-declining balance method.c. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022 using units-of-production using hours operated.
Answer:
a.
Depreciation expense for 2021: $9,000
Depreciation expense for 2022: $9,000
b.
Depreciation expense for 2021: $18,000
Depreciation expense for 2022: $9,000
c.
Depreciation expense for 2021: $5,220
Depreciation expense for 2022: $6,660
Explanation:
a. Canseco Plumbing Fixtures uses Straight-line method
Annual Depreciation Expense = (Cost of asset − Residual value Value)/Useful Life = ($44,000 - $8,000)/4 = $9,000
Depreciation expense for 2021: $9,000
Depreciation expense for 2022: $9,000
b. Canseco Plumbing Fixtures uses Double-declining-balance method
Under the straight-line method, useful life is 4 years, so the equipment's annual depreciation will be 25% of the Depreciable cost.
Depreciable cost = Total asset cost - Residual value = $44,000-$8,000 = $36,000
Under the double-declining-balance method the 25% straight line rate is doubled to 50% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.
In 2021, depreciation expense = 50% x $36,000 = $18,000
At the beginning 2022, the Depreciable cost's book value is $36,000-$18,000 = $18,000
Depreciation expense in 2022 = 50% x $18,000 = $9,000
c. Canseco Plumbing Fixtures uses Units-of-activity method
The Units-of-activity depreciation method is calculated by using the following formula:
Depreciation Expense = [(Cost of asset − Residual value)/Life in Number of hours Operated]x Number of hours Operated] = Depreciation Expense per hour x Number of hours Operated
Depreciation Expense per hour = ($44,000-$8,000)/20,000 = $1.8
Depreciation expense each year = Actual hours Operated x Depreciation Expense per hour.
Depreciation expense for 2021 = 2,900 x $1.8 = $5,220
Depreciation expense for 2022 = 3,700 x $1.8 = $6,660
Using different methods - straight line, double declining, and units of production, the depreciation for Canseco Plumbing Fixtures' equipment was calculated for the years 2021 and 2022. Each method uses different calculations and factors thereby providing differing amounts of depreciation.
Explanation:
This question revolves around the concept of depreciation. Depreciation allows companies to reduce the value of an asset over time due to its usage, wear and tear.
For calculating the depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022, we would use three different methods as per the request.
Straight-Line MethodThe formula for Straight-Line Depreciation is (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful life. Plugging the values in, we get ($44,000 - $8,000) / 4 years = $9,000 per year. Hence, depreciation expense for both 2021 and 2022 is $9,000 per year.
Double Declining BalanceIn Double Declining Balance method, the depreciation rate is double the rate of straight line method. So the rate is 2 x 25% = 50%. For 2021, the depreciation is $44,000 x 50% = $22,000. For 2022, we depreciate the remaining book value, so the depreciation is ($44,000 - $22,000) x 50% = $11,000.
Units-of-ProductionIn Units of Production method, depreciation is based on the actual usage of the asset. First, calculate the depreciation per hour: ($44,000 - $8,000) / 20,000 hours = $1.80 per hour. For 2021, the depreciation is $1.80 x 2,900 hours = $5,220. For 2022, depreciation is $1.80 x 3,700 hours = $6,660.
