After graduating, you might decide to start a small business. As discussed in this chapter, owners of any business need to know how to calculate the cost of their products. In fact, many small businesses fail because they don't accurately calculate their product costs, so they don't know if they are making a profit or losing money—until it's too late.Suppose that you decide to start a landscape business. You use an old pickup truck that you've fully paid for. You store the truck and other equipment in your parents' barn, and you store trees and shrubs on their land. Your parents will not charge you for the use of these facilities for the first two years, but beginning in the third year they will charge a reasonable rent. Your mother helps you by answering phone calls and providing customers with information. She doesn't charge you for this service, but she plans on doing it for only your first two years in business.In pricing your services, should you include charges for the truck, the barn, the land, and your mother's services when calculating your product cost?InstructionsWrite a response indicating your position regarding this situation. Provide support for your view.
Answer:
When the value of the service ends, it will be necessary to include the charges for the truck, the granary and the land. It is not necessary to include your mother's service charges, as she is not charging for the service.
Explanation:
Setting up your own business can be quite a big challenge and you need a lot of control and planning so you don't have to lose money. One of the biggest challenges of becoming an entrepreneur is to price the service performed. As was said in the question above, many people do not know how to place a value on the service produced, mainly because they are unable to identify the expense for service production.
In summary, the expense to produce the service must take into account all charges related to any element necessary to perform the service. Thus, we can consider that in the case shown in the question above, it will be necessary for you to include expenses with the truck (gasoline, repairs, exchange of parts, etc.), with the rent of the granary, with the rent of the land and with the gratification of any employee. Since your mother is not charging for her services, this charge should not be included, however, your mother will only be in this service for two years. If the person replacing your mother charges for the service, this should be added to the cost.

recognizing the difference between producers and consumers
Answer: brecognizing the difference between producers and consumers
Explanation:
Economics is the part of social studies that helps us for knowing the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services to the targeted customers. it mainly focuses upon the environmental and market factor that helps in the marketing and production of goods and services.
One of the main objectives for the study of economics is to recognize the difference between the producer and the consumers.
Reason:
The main objective of economics is to determine and bifurcate the producer and consumer as they are both different.
The producer is the person who is making the finished goods from the raw materials. The producer takes the raw materials either from the market or from the farmer. The entire cost of goods is determined by the producer by the name of the direct cost of goods.
While the consumer is the final user of the produced items. The consumer is the last person in the product cycle. The consumer has to pay the entire cost and expenses being added by various parties of the product cycle.

Is some number of occupational illnesses and injuries an acceptable part of doing business? Why or why not? Explain your answers.
Answer:
Explanation:
No injury or illness is ever an acceptable part of doing business. It reflects poorly on the company if they don't take the proper steps to prevent illness and injury. OSHA works hard to make sure work places are safe, and levy large fines if they don't meet safety requirements. In addition, if an injury or illness occurs the company can be sued, depending on the severity, the company could go out of business.
The cost of equipment purchased by Bonita, Inc., on June 1, 2020, is $119,700. It is estimated that the machine will have a $10,500 salvage value at the end of its service life. Its service life is estimated at 7 years, its total working hours are estimated at 54,600, and its total production is estimated at 728,000 units. During 2020, the machine was operated 6,600 hours and produced 60,500 units. During 2021, the machine was operated 6,050 hours and produced 52,800 units. Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) 2020 2021 (a) Straight-line $ $ (b) Units-of-output $ $ (c) Working hours $ $ (d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits $ $ (e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
Answer:
(a) Straight-line $ $
straight line depreciation expense = $109,200 / 7 = $15,600
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600 x 7/12 = $9,100
depreciation expense 2020 = $15,600
(b) Units-of-output $ $
depreciation expense per unit of output = $109,200 / 728,000 = $0.15 per unit
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 60,500 = $9,075
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.15 x 52,800 = $7,920
(c) Working hours $ $
depreciation expense per working hour = $109,200 / 54,600 = $2 per working hour
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,600 = $13,200
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,050 = $12,100
(d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits
total years = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28
depreciation expense 2020 = $109,200 x 7/28 x 7/12 = $15,925
depreciation expense 2021 = ($27,300 - $15,925) + (109,200 x 6/28 x 7/12) = $25,025
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $119,700 x 2/7 x 7/12 = $19,950
depreciation expense 2021 = ($34,200 - $19,950) + ($85,500 x 2/7 x 7/12) = $28,500
Explanation:
depreciable value = $119,700 - $10,500 = $109,200
useful life = 7 years
working hours = 54,600
production = 728,000 units

business organizations?
A. Corporations have a difficult time raising money to get started
B. Corporations have a limited life span if their owners die or quit.
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
D. One owner assumes all the risk and liability in a corporation
SUOMI
Answer:
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
Explanation:
Unfortunately, the founders of a corporation can be removed from the business. The process of removing a shareholder is hectic but still possible. A shareholder's agreement binds the shareholders of a business or a corporation. The agreement is the equivalent of a contract among the shareholder.
A gross violation of the agreement by a shareholder may lead to their removal. The conditions and processes of removal are normally contained in the shareholder's agreement.
6. Limitations of GDP Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output, it does not necessarily include all transactions and production for that nation. Which of the following scenarios are either not accounted for or measured inaccurately by either the income or the expenditure methods of calculating GDP for the United States? Check all that apply. The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution Expenditures on federal highways The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the component of GDP while also net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes in US GDP. g
Answer:
a.
The quality of goods available to consumers The costs of air and water pollution The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the governmentb. investment; decreases; no overall change
Explanation:
a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.
For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.
b. When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the investment component of GDP while also decreasing net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes no overall change in US GDP.
Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.
Angerstein Inc. produces calendars in a two-process, two-department operation. In the Printing Department, calendars are printed and cut. In the Assembly Department, the material received from Printing is assembled into individual calendars and bound. Each department maintains its own Work in Process Inventory, and costs are assigned using FIFO process costing. In Assembly, conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process; direct material is added at the end of the process. For September, the following production and cost information is available for the Assembly Department:
• Beginning WIP Inventory: 5,000 calendars (30 percent complete as to conversion); transferred in cost, $7,550; conversion cost, $1,093
• Transferred in during September: 80,000 calendars
• Current period costs: transferred in, $80,000; direct material, $10,270, conversion, $13,991
• Ending WIP Inventory: 6,000 calendars (80 percent complete as to conversion) For the Assembly Department, compute the following:
a. Equivalent units of production for each cost component EU for transferred in 85,000 x EU for direct materials 79,000 EU for conversion 83,800 x
b. Cost per EUP for each cost component Note: Round your answers to two decimal places. Transferred in cost per EUP $ 87.550 X Material cost per EUP Conversion cost per EUP $ 0 x
c. Cost transferred to Finished Goods Inventory Note: Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar. $ 105,860
d. Cost of ending WIP Inventory Note: Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar. $ $ 7,044
Answer:
a) EU for transferred in costs = 80,000
EU for materials costs = 79,000
EU for conversion costs = 82,300
b) cost per EU for transferred in costs = $1
cost per EU for materials costs = $0.13
cost per EU for conversion costs = $0.17
c) costs transferred to finished goods inventory = $106,088
d) cost of ending WIP = $6,816
Explanation:
units completed = 5,000 + 80,000 - 6,000 = 79,000
beginning WIP 5,000 units:
transferred in costs $7,550
30% completed for conversion costs ($1,093)
0% completed for materials
current period:
transferred in costs $80,000, cost per EUP = $80,000 / 80,000 = $1.00
materials $10,270, cost per EUP = $10,270 / 79,000 = $0.13
conversion $13,991, cost per EUP = $13,991 / [(5,000 x 70%) + 74,000 + (6,000 x 80%)] = $13,991 / 82,300 = $0.17
costs transferred to finished goods inventory = (74,000 x $1) + (79,000 x $0.13) + (77,500 x $0.17) + $7,550 + $1,093 = $106,088
ending WIP = (4,800 x $0.17) + $6,000 = $6,816

But generally speaking, a small business's healthy profit margin falls between 7 and 10 percent. But keep in mind that other industries, like retail or the food industry, can have reduced margins. They frequently have larger overhead expenditures, which explains this.
Profit is what remains after all costs have been deducted from a company's revenue, also known as income. In small firms, the owner or owners typically receive the entire profit. Publicly traded companies distribute dividends to stockholders from their profits.

Several factors affect a firm’s need for external funds. Evaluate the effect of each following factor and place a check next to each factor that is likely to increase a firm’s need for external capital—that is, its AFN (additional funds needed). Check all that apply. The firm increases its dividend payout ratio. The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast. The firm previously thought its fixed assets were being operated at full capacity, but now it learns that it actually has excess capacity. Dividends to common shareholders are paid out of after-tax earnings. Do these payouts affect a firm’s AFN? No, dividends do not affect a firm’s AFN, because they are paid out of after-tax earnings. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Answer:
1.
The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.

Biblio Files Company is making plans for its next fiscal year, and decides to sell two new types of bookshelves, Basic and Deluxe. The company has compiled the following estimates for the new product offerings. Type of Bookshelf Sales Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Basic $5.00 $1.75 Deluxe 9.00 8.10 The company is interested in determining how many of each type of bookshelf would have to be sold in order to break even. If we think of the Basic and Deluxe products as components of one overall enterprise product called "Combined," the unit contribution margin for the Combined product would be $2.31. Fixed costs for the upcoming year are estimated at $334,950. Recall that the totals of all the sales mix percents must be 100%. Determine the amounts to complete the following
Answer:
The requirements are missing, so I looked for similar questions:
Percent of Sales Mix = Break-Even Sales in Units = Break-Even Sales in Dollars =Type of Bookshelf Sales Price Variable Cost Contribution M.
Basic $5.00 $1.75 $3.25
Deluxe $9.00 $8.10 $0.90
combined contribution margin = $2.31
total fixed costs $334,950
break even point in units = $334,950 / $2.31 = 149,329 units
3.25b + 0.9d = 2.31
I will first try a 50/50 sales mix
(3.25 x 0.5) + (0.9 x 0.5) = 2.075 ⇒ b must be higher
(3.25 x 0.6) + (0.9 x 0.4) = 2.31 ✓
sales mix:
basic = 60% of sales
deluxe = 40% of sales
total = 100%
break-even sales in units =
basic (60% of sales) = 89,598 units
deluxe (40% of sales) = 59,731 units
total = 149,329 units
break-even sales in dollars =
basic 89,598 units x $5 = $447,990
deluxe 59,731 units x $9 = $537,579
total = $985,569
Suppose that lower production costs increases the supply of wheat, such that more wheat is supplied at each price level. After the increase in supply, the equilibrium quantity _____.
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity Increase
Explanation:
Equilibrium quantity is the level of supply that's meet the market demand of a product. At equilibrium quantity, there is no excess supply nor shortage in quantity supplied.
Should the cost of producing wheat decline, farmers will supply more wheat in the market. An increase in supply without a corresponding increase in demand results in reduced prices. Many suppliers will complete with few buyers. Due to a decline in prices, the equilibrium quantity increases because farmers will sell more quantities at the new low prices. The supply and demand curves will intersect a higher position in the graph, reflecting the new point where increased supply meets the demand at lower prices.
An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $30,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $30,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 30% probability the economy will remain strong, a 60% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
The expected value from this investment can be calculated by possible values for random variables by multiplying them by their probability
DATA
Strong = 30,000 , probability = 30%
Moderate = 10,000 , probability = 60%
Weak = -30,000 , probability = 10%
Calculation
Expected profit = Values x Probability
Expected profit = (30,000 x 30%) + (10,000 x 60%) + ( 30,000 x 10%)
Expected profit = 6,000 + 6,000 -6,000
Expected profit = 6,000
Kingbird Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Kingbird also provides installation service for the windows The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Kingbird enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner.
The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,470 and chooses Kingbird to do the installation. Kingbird charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $580. The customer pays Kingbird $1,940 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,050) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Kingbird completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due.
Prepare the journal entries for Kingbird in 2017.
Answer:
Kingbird Windows
July 1, 2017:
Debit Cash Account $1,940
Credit Unearned Sales Revenue $1,940
To record the receipt of cash from customer.
Sept. 1, 2017:
Debit Unearned Sales Revenue $1,940
Credit Sales Revenue $1,940
To record the sale of windows.
Debit Inventory $1,050
Credit Cost of Goods Sold $1,050
To record the cost of goods sold.
Oct. 15, 2017:
Debit Cash Account $530
Credit Service Revenue $530
To record the service revenue earned for installation of windows.
Explanation:
Since Kingbird's selling price equals $1,940, which the customer pays in advance, this amount is taken as the sales revenue. Though the stand-alone price of installation is estimated to be $580, only $530 is recorded as revenue for installation because the $580 remains an estimate of a stand-alone item.
Andrew plans to retire in 40 years. He plans to invest part of his retirement funds in stocks, so he seeks out information on past returns. He learns that over the entire 20th century, the real (that is, adjusted for inflation) annual returns on U.S. common stocks had mean 8.7% and standard deviation 20.2%. The distribution of annual returns on common stocks is roughly symmetric, so the mean return over even a moderate number of years is close to Normal. What is the probability (assuming that the past pattern of variation continues) that the mean annual return on common stocks over the next 40 years will exceed 10%
Answer:
26%
Explanation:
Given that Mean, μ = 8.7% = 0.087
Standard Deviation, σ = 20.2% = 0.202
Normal distribution, n = 40
Notice that the distribution annual returns of stocks are a bell-shaped distribution.
hence, using the formula
Zscore = (x - μ ) / σ
= where we have P(return greater than 10%)
= P(x > 0.10)
= P(x > 0.10) = P [z > (0.10 - 0.087)/0.202]
= P (z > 0.0643)
= 1 - P (z > 0.0643)
= Using the value from standard normal z table,
= P (x > 610) = 1 - 0.740 =0.26 = 26%
Hence, the correct answer is 26%.
Western Athletic Club International (WACI) owns and operates a chain of fitness clubs and is interested in estimating the CLV for new memberships. Practically all of WACI's costs are fixed costs. Meaning that, when a member pays his or her monthly dues, there are no variable costs associated with that payment and all the revenues go toward covering the fixed costs of the business (facilities, salaries, equipment, etc.) WACI's monthly membership dues are $78 per person. The average member keeps his or her membership active for 26 months. In addition to membership, WACI also offers personal training services through a staff of independent athletic trainers. WACI and the trainer split the fees associated with personal training 50/50. Historically, 15% of members choose to use a personal trainer for, on average, 30 training sessions. Sessions with a personal trainer are priced at $40 each.
Required:
a. What is the monthly margin generated by a new membership (don’t include training)?
b. What is the CLV to WACI on the membership component?
c. What is the CLV of the personal training component for a member who chooses to hire a trainer?
d. What is the total CLV for a new member?
e. What would be the net value of implementing a program that doubled the likelihood that a person would hire a personal trainer?
Answer:
a. What is the monthly margin generated by a new membership (don’t include training)?
$78, since there are no variable costs
d. What is the total CLV for a new member?
the average purchase value = $78 + (15% of customers x 30/26 sessions per month x 50% earnings x $40 per session) = $78 + $3.46 = $81.46
the average purchase frequency = 1 per month
average customer value = $81.46 / 1 = $81.46
average customer lifespan = 26 months
customer lifetime value = average customer value x average customer lifespan = $81.46 x 26 = $2,118
b. What is the CLV to WACI on the membership component?
$78 x 26 = $2,028
c. What is the CLV of the personal training component for a member who chooses to hire a trainer?
$3.46 x 26 = $89.96
e. What would be the net value of implementing a program that doubled the likelihood that a person would hire a personal trainer?
$3.46 per customer, same as the CLV of the personal training component
a.
The monthly margin generated by a new membership is $78 because there are no variable costs
b.
The CLV to WACI on the membership component is
= $78 × 26
= $2,028
c.
the CLV of the personal training component for a member is
= $3.46 × 26
= $89.96
d. The CLV for a new member is
The average purchase value = $78 + (15% of customers × 30/26 sessions per month × 50% earnings × $40 per session)
= $78 + $3.46
= $81.46
the average purchase frequency = 1 per month
average customer value = $81.46 / 1 = $81.46
average customer lifespan = 26 months
So,
customer lifetime value
= average customer value x average customer lifespan
= $81.46 × 26
= $2,118
e. The net value should be
$3.46 per customer, similar to the CLV of the personal training component

Market data indicates customers will buy 700 sprockets if they are prices at $13 each. If the price rises to $15 they will only buy 500. If the price is $12 a sprocket, the producers will make 400 sprockets. If the price rises to $13 a sprocket, they will produce 600 sprockets. (a) Find a linear model for the demand price. (b) Find a linear model for the supply price. (c) Use Desmos to find the equilibrium point. What number of units is supplied and demanded? What is the price?
Answer:
Demand = -100P + 2,000
Supply = 200P - 2200
Equilibrium: 600 units and $14 price
Explanation:
We solve for the linear formula of each:
Demand = aP + b
Demand
Quantity Price
700 13
500 15
(700 - 500) / (13 - 15) = 200 / -2 = -100
a = -100
(-100) x 13 + b = 700
(-100) x 15 + b = 500
b = 700 + 1,300 = 2,000
b = 500 + 1,500 = 2,000
Demand = -100P + 2,000
Supply
Quantity price
400 12
600 13
Supply = aP + b
(600 - 400) / ( 13 - 12) = 200
a = 200
400 = 200 x $13 + b
b = 400 + 2600 = -2200
Supply = 200P - 2200
Equilibrium
200P - 2200 = -100P + 2000
300P = 4200
P = 4200 / 300 = 14
Q = -100(14) + 2000 = 600
200 x (14) - 2200 = 600
Two products, QI and VH, emerge from a joint process. Product QI has been allocated $28,300 of the total joint costs of $49,000. A total of 2,300 units of product QI are produced from the joint process. Product QI can be sold at the split-off point for $12 per unit, or it can be processed further for an additional total cost of $10,300 and then sold for $14 per unit. If product QI is processed further and sold, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company compared with sale in its unprocessed form directly after the split-off point?
Answer:
Gain from selling at the split-off point = $12 * 2,300
Gain from selling at the split-off point = $27,600
Gain from Processing further = $14 * 2,300 - Processing cost ($10,300)
Gain from Processing further = $ 32,200 - $10,300
Gain from Processing further = $21,900
Overall profit
= $27,600 - $21,900
= $5,700 (Decrease in overall profit )
Hence, if product QI is processed further and sold, then overall profit will be decreased by $5,700
The cost C and the revenue R for a brokerage firm depend on the number T of transactions executed. (Both C and R are measured in dollars.) It costs $730 per day to keep the office open, and brokers are paid an average of $25 per transaction. Also, $35 in fees are collected for each transaction. (a) Find a formula that gives C as a function of T. C(T) = (b) Find a formula that gives R as a function of T. R(T) = (c) Find the number of daily transactions that are needed to make the revenue $1200 more than the cost. 33 daily transactions
Answer:
C(T) = $730 + $25T
R(T) = $35T
T = 193 transactions
Explanation:
Given that:
C = cost ; R = revenue ; T = number of transactions
Amount paid per transaction = $25
Cost keeping office open = $730
Amount collected on each transaction = $35
(a) Find a formula that gives C as a function of T.
C(T) = Cost of keeping office open + (cost per transaction × number of transactions)
C(T) = $730 + $25T
(b) Find a formula that gives R as a function of T.
R(T) = (Amount collected per transaction * number of transactions)
R(T) = $35T
(c) Find the number of daily transactions that are needed to make the revenue $1200 more than the cost.
R = C + 1200
Substitute the value of R and C into the equation:
35T = 730 + 25T + 1200
35T - 25T = 730 + 1200
10T = 1930
T = 1930 / 10
T = 193 transactions
Tariff effects: An overview
Consider two hypothetical countries, Alagir and Ertil. Both countries produce iGadgets, and the price of iGadgets is lower in Alagir than in Ertil. If Alagir and Ertil open to trade, producers in would be more likely to lobby their government for an import tariff on iGadgets in order to protect themselves from foreign competition.
Which of the following statements about the effects of the tariff compared to free trade are correct?
A. In Alagir, workers in iGadget importing companies lose their jobs.
B. In Ertil, some workers at retail and shipping companies that import iGadgets lose their jobs.
C. In Ertil, consumers pay more for the domestic iGadgets.
D. In Ertil, workers in iGadget importing companies see more jobs available to them.
E. In Ertil, producers of iGadgets are willing to expand output.
Answer:
The answer is "Option E, Option B, and Option C".
Explanation:
There are two Alagir and Ertil nations, and both iGadgets are created by the nations. Its price throughout the world was lower than in the world, and the manufacturers in Ertil will be more likely to ask their government for just a tariff on iGadgets to protect them against the international competition so because the cost in the nation is higher and consumers are starting to import goods from the country.

Three Square Market, a Wisconsin-based tech firm, made headlines after they offered implantable microchips to its employees. The controversy highlights a generational divide, with younger generations being less concerned about privacy and much more open to sharing their lives. The move to place technology inside of employees raises concerns about data privacy issues, the lack of legislation around the technology, and the long-term health implications for our bodies.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Although the implantation of microchips in humans is a great technological advance that is gradually being added to our society, this technology raises many concerns that are the main causes of rejection of this technology.
Many people reject the placement of bio microchips for religious reasons, but in addition, there is no type of legislation that regulates these processes which can result in abuse, invasion of privacy and other illegal issues. Finally, many people complain about the lack of information about the physical, chemical and biological consequences that a body with microchips can have.
On January 1, Year 1, the City Taxi Company purchased a new taxi cab for $39,000. The cab has an expected salvage value of $4,000. The company estimates that the cab will be driven 200,000 miles over its life. It uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation expense. The cab was driven 48,000 miles the first year and 51,000 the second year. What would be the depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi, respectively, at the end of Year 2
Answer:
depreciation expense year 2 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $21,675
Explanation:
depreciable value = $39,000 - $4,000 = $35,000
total miles driven = 200,000
depreciation expense per mile driven = $35,000 / 200,000 miles = $0.175 per mile driven
depreciation expense year 1 = 48,000 x $0.175 = $8,400
book value end of year 1 = $39,000 - $8,400 = $30,600
depreciation expense year 2 = 51,000 x $0.175 = $8,925
book value end of year 2 = $30,600 - $8,925 = $21,675
