Kingston Company purchased a piece of equipment on January 1, 2015. The equipment cost $200,000 and had an estimated life of 8 years and a salvage value of $25,000. What was the depreciation expense for the asset for 2016 under the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $32,812.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The equipment cost $200,000 and had an estimated life of 8 years and a salvage value of $25,000.
To calculate the annual depreciation expense, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]
2015:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(200,000 - 25,000) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $43,750
2016:
Annual depreciation= 2*[(175,000 - 43,750) / 8]
Annual depreciation= $32,812.5
Barney Company makes and sells stuffed animals. One product, Michael Bears, sells for $28 per bear. Michael Bears have fixed costs of $100,000 per month and a variable cost of $12 per bear. How many Michael Bears must be produced and sold each month to break even
Answer:
6,250 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units that should be sold and produced in order to break even is shown below:
as we know that
Break even point = Fixed cost ÷Contribution margin per unit
Here
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable costs
= $28 - $12
= $16
So, the breakeven is
= $100,000 ÷ $16
= 6,250 units
The management of Cooper Corporation is considering the purchase of a new machine costing $420,000. The company's desired rate of return is 10%.

2 40,000 120,000
3 20,000 100,000
4 10,000 90,000
5 10,000 90,000
The cash payback period for this investment is: ___________
Answer:
3.2 years
Explanation:
Cash payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Amount invested = -420,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = -420,000 + 180,000 = -240,000
Amount recovered in year 2 = -240,000 + 120,000 = -120,000
Amount recovered in year 3 = -120,000 + 100,000 = -20,000
Amount recovered in year 4= - 20,000 / 90,000 = 0.22
Cash payback = 3.2 years
"How would you need to shift the supply and demand curves in a market to result in a situation where equilibrium quantity increases while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate?"
Answer:
the demand and supply curve shift outward / to the right
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.
Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
1. A change in the price of input
2. A change in the number of suppliers
3. Government regulations
If the demand curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in demand. Equilibrium price and quantity would increase.
If the supply curve for a good shifts outward as a result of an increase in supply, equilibrium price decreases and quantity increases.
Taking these two effects together, there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity while the equilibrium price change is indeterminate
Assume you are to receive a 30-year annuity with annual payments of $2,000. The first payment will be received at the end of Year 1, and the last payment will be received at the end of Year 30. You will invest each payment in an account that pays 6 percent annually compounded interest. What will be the value in your account at 55 years from today?
Answer:
Total FV= $678.615.02
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the value of the annuity at the end of the last payment:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {2,000*[(1.06^30) - 1]} / 0.06
FV= $158,116.37
Now, the total future value after 25 years:
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
FV= 158,116.37*(1.06^25)
FV= $678.615.02

Less: Sales value at split-off point $24,000
Total incremental revenue $11,500
Less: Total incremental processing costs $15,000
Financial (disadvantage) of further processing ($3,500)
So, the financial disadvantage for the company of processing Product X beyond the split-off point is $3,500.

Compute the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs for the month of November.
Answer:
A. 16,200
B. 11,940
Explanation:
Computation for the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs for the month of November.
A. Equivalent units of production for materials Materials
Total equivalent units= 9100 + (7100*100%)
Total equivalent units= 9100+7100
Total equivalent units= 16,200
B.Equivalent units of production for conversion costs
Total equivalent units= 9100+ (7100*40%)
Total equivalent units=9100+2840
Total equivalent units= 11,940
Therefore the equivalent units of production for (a) materials is 16,200 and (b) conversion costs for the month of November is 11,940

What will happen to the Canadian dollar, according to the purchasing power parity, if an ounce of silver is priced at $17 in the US but can be purchased in Canada for CAD $32 with an exchange rate of $1
Answer: c. It is overvalued and should lose value against the U.S. dollar over time.
Explanation:
The Purchasing power parity states that prices should be the same in two countries when the price is adjusted for changes in exchange rate.
The exchange rate here is $1 so the prices should be the same.
Seeing as the prices are not the same, the exchange country that has the more expensive price will have to decrease in value overtime because its currency is overvalued which is why it is charging so high.
Once the value depreciates, it will then have the same price as the price in the U.S. when the price is adjusted for exchange rate differences.

Thomas is concerned about his company's ability to pay off its short-term debts. If he wants to know more about his company's liquidity, what should he do?
Calculate his debt to equity ratio
Calculate his net working capital
Calculate his total assets
Calculate his total liabilities
Answer: Calculate his net working capital
Explanation:
The net working capital shows a company's ability to pay off its short term obligations using its current assets.
It is calculated by subtracting the current liabilities of a company from its current assets. When net working capital is high, a company has enough to ensure that it can grow in the short run but when the net working capital is little or negative, the company will have a hard time paying off short term obligations which will affect its financial health.

At the beginning of the current year, Wilson Corporation had 200,000 shares of $1 par common stock outstanding and had retained earnings of $4,800,000. During the year, the company earned $1,675,000 and paid a year-end cash dividend of $3 per share. What was Wilson Corporation's retained earnings at the end of the year
Answer:
$5,875,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What was Wilson Corporation's retained earnings at the end of the year?
Ending retained earnings =[1,675,000-(200,000 x 3 )]+4,800,000
Ending retained earnings=(1,675,000 - 600,000 )+4,800,000
Ending retained earnings=1,075,000 + 4,800,000
Ending retained earnings = 5,875,000
Therefore Wilson Corporation's retained earnings at the end of the year is $5,875,000
