On January 1, the Matthews Band pays $65,800 for sound equipment. The band estimates it will use this equipment for four years and after four years it can sell the equipment for $2,000. Matthews Band uses straight-line depreciation but realizes at the start of the second year that this equipment will last only a total of three years. The salvage value is not changed. Compute the revised depreciation for both the second and third years.
The step to answering this question :
1. calculate the depreciation expense using the initial useful life
2. calculate the book value for year 2
3. calculate the depreciation expense for year 2 and 3 using the revised useful life and year 2 book value
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
1. ($65,800 - $2000) / 4 = $15,950
Book value = $65,800 - $15,950 = $49,850
($49,850 - $2000) / 3 = $15,950
The depreciation expense in year 2 and 3 would be $15,950

Select all of the examples of a scenario in which the firm is demonstrating financial weakness.
a. An ROA of 0.7 when the industry average is 1.4.
b. A current ratio of 0.5.
c. An ROE of 1.4 when the industry average is 1.15.
d. A quick ratio above the industry average of 0.9.
e. A fixed asset ratio of 0.6 when the industry average is 1.1.
f. A debt capital ratio of 0.7 when the industry average is 0.15
Answer:
a. An ROA of 0.7 when the industry average is 1.4
b. A current ratio of 0.5.
f. A debt capital ratio of 0.7 when the industry average is 0.15
e. A fixed asset ratio of 0.6 when the industry average is 1.1
Explanation:
A return on the asset ration may be a profitable ratio that indicates the efficiency of the usage of the assets in any business. When the ratio is higher it is better. A lower ratio shows the financial weakness of a firm for utilizing the assets.
A 0.7 debt ratio that is higher than the industry average represents a higher leverage and the higher solvency risk.
The 0.6 fixed asset ratio shows a lower utilization of the fixed assets in the generation of the turnover. Hence, it shows a financial weakness.
Current ratio represents the coverage of the current assets for the meeting of a short term obligations. The ratio is desired to be 2.
Ratio of 0.5 shows a current asset that is not sufficient for meeting the current liabilities.
The Clemson Company reported the following results last year for the manufacture and sale of one of its products known as a Tam.
Sales (6,500 Tams at $130 each) $845,000
Variable cost of sales 390,000
Variable distribution costs 65,000
Fixed advertising expense 275,000
Salary of product line manager 25,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 145,000
Net loss ($55,000)
Clemson Company is trying to determine whether or not to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Tams. The operating results reported above for last year are expected to continue in the foreseeable future if the product is not dropped. The fixed manufacturing overhead represents the costs of production facilities and equipment that the Tam product shares with other products. Assume that discontinuing the Tam product would result in a $120,000 increase in the contribution margin of other product lines.
Required:
How many Tams would have to be sold next year for the company to be as well off as if it just dropped the line and enjoyed the increase in contribution margin from other products?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, there would be no sales if Tam were to be dropped. Also, there would be no cost associated with it other than $145,000 fixed manufacturing overhead.
Again, since the net loss operating loss was $55,000, the $145,000 would increase that loss by $90,000.

provide one to two strategies you might incorrect to ensure effectiveness of persuasive message in business.
provide one to two strategies to help ensure the most polite professional and appropriate manner to deliver bad news in business.
Explanation:
Persuasive message:
A persuasive message in business has as its main objective to convince the public to act or do something, such as carrying out tasks, engaging in a project or closing sales. So two effective strategies could be:
speak or write about the advantages that the public will have in carrying out what is being asked for or sold. have good oratory and convincing skills when using mental triggers and persuasive techniquesDeliver bad news in business:
In order to deliver negative messages to an organization, the communication process must be carried out with great caution, since negative news are generally received with dissatisfaction by the public and if they are not passed on effectively they can cause conflicts and other problems in the organizational environment. Some strategies for delivering negative messages would therefore be:
Using an indirect approach to cushion bad news, this approach aims to not speak the news right at the beginning of the message, but to list the facts that have led to a negative situation, so there is a greater sense of understanding by the audience and cushioning the central news. Be as transparent as possible, recognizing the difficulties that the company will face at the moment but using positive elements in the message that reiterate the union and the overcoming of the whole company.The following account appears in the ledger prior to recognizing the jobs completed in January:

Comfort chair company manufacturers a standard recliner. During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 73,000 chairs. During the month, the firm completed 78,600 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 10,100 chairs in ending inventory. There were 15,700 chairs in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is used by Comfort. Beginning work in process was 35% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 85% complete as to conversion costs.

a. $417,750.5
b. $454,694.8
c. $476,750.6
d. $505,000.2
Answer:
1. a. 81,500
2. $38,481
3. $461,382
Explanation:
The equivalent units for conversion costs during February.
Conversion Costs = 15,700 x 65% + 62,900 x 100% + 10,100 x 85 %
= 81,690 units
Material Costs = 15,700 x 0% + 62,900 x 100% + 10,100 x 100 %
= 73,000 units
The amount of direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory at the end of February.
Step 1 : Determine Cost per Equivalent unit
Conversion Costs = $168,000 ÷ 81,690 units = $2.06
Material Costs = $278,000 ÷ 73,000 units = $3.81
Total Cost = $2.06 + $3.81 = $5.87
Step 2 : Direct Material Cost assigned to ending work-in-process
Ending work-in-process (Material Cost) = 10,100 x $3.81
= $38,481
The cost of the goods transferred out during February.
Cost of the goods transferred out = $5.87 x 78,600
= $461,382
