JRJ Corporation issued 10-year bonds at a price of $1,000. These bonds pay $60 interest every six months. Their price has remained the same since they were issued; that is, the bonds still sell for $1,000. Due to additional financing needs, the firm wishes to issue new bonds that would have a maturity of 10 years and a par value of $1,000 and pay $40 interest every six months. If both bonds have the same yield, how many new bonds must JRJ issue to raise additional capital of $2 million
Answer:
JRJ must issue 2,596 bonds to raise additional capital of $2 million.
Explanation:
From the question, we have the following:
Amount needed to be raised = $2 million = $2,000,000
Coupon rate = 8.0%, or 0.08
FV = Face value = 1000
Year to maturity = 10
NPER = Number of period = Year to maturity * Number of semiannuals in a year = 10 * 2 = 20
PMT = (FV * Coupon rate) / Number of semiannuals in a year =(1000 * 0.08) / 2 = 40
Rate = Semiannual interest / FV = $60 / $1000 = 0.06
The net proceeds can be calculated using the following excel function:
Net proceed = PV(rate, NPER, -PMT, -FV) ........... (1)
Substituting all the relevant value into equation (1), we have:
Net proceed = PV(6%, 20, -40, -1000)
Inputing =PV(6%, 20, -40, -1000) in any cell in excel sheet (Note: as done in the attached excel file), we have:
Net proceed = $770.60
Therefore, we have:
Number of bonds that must be raised = Amount needed to be raised / Net proceed = $2,000,000 / $770.60 = 2,596
The Anderson Company has equal amounts of low-risk, average-risk, and high-risk projects. The firm's overall WACC is 12%. The CFO believes that this is the correct WACC for the company's average-risk projects, but that a lower rate should be used for lower-risk projects and a higher rate for higher-risk projects. The CEO disagrees, on the grounds that even though projects have different risks, the WACC used to evaluate each project should be the same because the company obtains capital for all projects from the same sources. If the CEO's position is accepted, what is likely to happen over time? a. The company's overall WACC should decrease over time because its stock price should be increasing. b. The CEO's recommendation would maximize the firm's intrinsic value. c. The company will take on too many low-risk projects and reject too many high-risk projects. d. The company will take on too many high-risk projects and reject too many low-risk projects. e. Things will generally even out over time, and, therefore, the firm's risk should remain constant over time
Answer:
d. The company will take on too many high-risk projects and reject too many low-risk projects.
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of capital is the firm's is the rate which a firm has to pay to the lenders of fund. There can be different WACC for different projects as the WACC is based on the business risk. The beta factor can be different for all projects and since it is dependent on the nature of project and the risk it involves.

Advisors, an international pension fund manager, uses the concepts of purchasing power parity(PPP) and the International Fisher Effect (IFE) to forecast spot exchange rates. Omni gathers the financial information as follows:
Base price level 100
Current U.S. price level 105
Current South African price level 111
Base rand spot exchange rate $0.175
Current rand spot exchange rate $0.158
Expected annual U.S. inflation 7%
Expected annual South African inflation 5%
Expected U.S. one-year interest rate 10%
Expected South African one-year interest rate 8%
Required:
Calculate the following exchange rates (ZAR and USD refer to the South African rand and U.S. dollar, respectively)
a. The current ZAR spot rate in USD that would been forecast by PPP.
b. Using the IFE, the expected ZAR spot rate in USD one year from now.
c. Using PPP, the expected ZAR spot rate in USD four years from now.
Answer:
a. Current spot rate / Base spot rate = Price level in home country / Price level in foreign country
CSR / 0.175 =105 / 111
CSR = (105/ 111) * 0.175
= $0.1655 / ZAR
b. Expected ZAR spot rate / Current ZAR spot rate = (1 + interest rate in home country) / (1 + interest rate in foreign country)
Expected ZAR spot rate / 0.158 = (1 + 10%) / ( 1 + 8%)
Expected ZAR spot rate = (1.1/1.08) * 0.158
= $0.1609 / ZAR
c. Expected ZAR spot rate / Current ZAR spot rate = (1 + inflation rate in home country) / (1 + inflation rate in foreign country)
Expected ZAR spot rate / 0.158 = (1 + 7%) / ( 1 + 5%)
= 1.07/1.05 * 0.158

The Sunland Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sunland has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sunland will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sunland Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Instructions:
In which building would you recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate, assuming a 12% cost of funds?
Answer:
Building C
Explanation:
To solve this, we find the present value of each of the buildings.
Building A: We are told that it is to be Purchased for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years. Thus;
PV = $612000
Building B: PV = 71490 + (71490 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where,
r = 12% = 0.12
n = 26 - 1 = 25
Thus;
PV = 71490 + (71490 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = = $632196
Building C:
PV = 655200 - 6850 × ((1+r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(1+r)ⁿ)
Where;
r = 12% = 0.12
n=26
Thus;
PV = 655200 - (6850 × (1 + 0.12)^(25) -1)/(0.12(1 + 0.12)^25)
PV = $601474
Thus, the minimum PV is building C and therefore it is the one I will recommend that Brubaker Inc. locate

If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year
Answer:
The conventional B/C ratio is 1.83.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Officials from the City of Galveston and State of Texas gathered to celebrate the start of a beach restoration project that involves dumping sand and adding antierosion structures. The first cost of the project is $30 million with annual maintenance estimated at $340,000. If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year. Assume the State wants to recover the investment in 20 years.
Explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
From the question, we have:
First cost = $30 million, or $30,000,0000
Estimated annual maintenance cost = $340,000
Expected annual revenue = Amount to spend per year by the visitors = $6.2 million, or 6,200,000
r = social discount rate per year = 8%, or 0.08
n = number of recover the investment years = 20
Incorporating the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, we have:
B = Present worth of annual revenue = Estimated annual revenue * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) = $6,200,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08) = $60,872,513.93
C = Present worth of cost = First cost + (Estimated annual maintenance cost * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r)) = $30,000,0000 + ($340,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08)) = $33,338,170.12
B/C ratio = B / C = $60,872,513.93 / $33,338,170.12 = 1.83
Therefore, the conventional B/C ratio is 1.83.

1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
3. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases. (Round your "Gross Profit Percentage" answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = 83.33%
2-a. Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.
Explanation:
Note: The requirements for this question are two not three as erroneously stated. This is because, the first and the third question are the same. Therefore, the two relevant requirements of the question are:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the dollars of gross profit and the gross profit percentage from selling tags and cases.
Sales revenue from tags = Sales value of 160 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 8 at a price of $30 per tag + Sales value of 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 at a price of $30 per tag = (160 * $30) + (260 * $30) = $12,600
Sales revenue from cases = Sales value of 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120 * $15 = $1,800
Total number of tags sold = 160 tags mailed to customers + 260 tags mailed to customers on Jan. 21 = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120 cases mailed to customers on Jan. 19 at a price of $15 per case = 120
Using FIFO, we have:
Cost of tags sold = Value of 260 tags purchased on Jan.2 from Xioasi Manufacturing (XM) at a cost of $7 per tag + Value of the remaining 160 (i.e. 420 – 260 = 160) tags sold based on the 360 tags purchased on Jan. 11 from XM at a cost of $10 per tag = (260 * $7) + (160 * $10) = $3,420
Cost of cases sold = Value of 60 cases purchased on Jan.4 from Bachittar Products (BP) at a cost of $2 per case + Value of the remaining 60 cases sold based on the 160 cases purchased on Jan. 14 from BP at a cost of $3 per case = (60 * $2) + (60 * $3) = $300
Therefore, we have:
1-a. Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = Sales revenue from tags - Cost of tags sold = $12,600 - $3,420 = $9,180
1-b. Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = Sales revenue from cases - Cost of cases sold = $1,800 - $300 = $1,500
1-c. Gross profit percentage from selling tags = (Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Sales revenue from tags) * 100 = ($9,180 / $12,600) * 100 = 72.86%
1.d. Gross profit percentage from selling cases = (Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Sales revenue from cases) * 100 = 83.33%
2. Which product line yields more dollars of profit? - Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
2-a. Which product line yields more dollars of profit?
From part 1 above, we have:
Dollars of gross profit from selling tags = $9,180
Dollars of gross profit from selling cases = $1,500
Since the dollars of gross profit from selling tags of $9,180 is greater than the dollars of gross profit from selling cases of $1,500, this implies that Tag yields more dollars of profit.
2-b. Which product line yields more profit per dollar of sales?
From part 1 above, we have:
Total number of tags sold = 420
Total number of cases sold = 120
Therefore, we have:
Tag's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling tags / Total number of tags sold = $9,180 / 420 = $21.86
Case's profit per dollar of sales = Dollars of gross profit from selling cases / Total number of cases sold = $1,500 / 120 = $12.50
Since Tag's profit per dollar of sales of $21.86 is greater than Case's profit per dollar of sales of $12.50, this implies that Tag yields more profit per dollar of sales.

Reported net income for 2021 was $270,000 with a 40% tax rate. Common shareholders received $1.20 per share dividends after preferred dividends were paid in 2021.
Required: Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for 2021. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - (6% * $100 * 6,000)] / [100,000 + 40,000 * 3/12]
Basic EPS = [$270,000 - $36,000] / 35,000
Basic EPS = $234,000 / 35,000
Basic EPS = 6.685714285714286
Basic EPS = 6.69
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + ($420,00*8%*60%)] / [100000 + 40,000 * 3/12 + (420*30) + (6,000*3)]
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + $2,016] / [35,000 + 12600 + 18,000]
Diluted EPS = $272,016 / 65,600
Diluted EPS = 4.146585365853659
Diluted EPS = $4.15

g Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 27,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 114,000. Units completed and transferred out: 141,000. Ending Inventory: 31,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $45,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $50,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $311,160. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $601,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion. Group of answer choices $4.76 $3.96 $5.29 $4.34 $5.69
Answer:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
Explanation:
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = Total conversion cost / Equivalent units
Conversion cost is the sum of the direct labour cost and the factory overhead cost.
Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Equivalent units
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed unit 140,000 140000× 100% 140,000
Closing inventory 31,000 31,000× 30% 9,300
Total equivalent unit 149,300
Completed units = opening inventory + units started in the period - closing inventory
Completed units = 27000 + 114,000 - 31,000 = 140,000
The conversion cost = 50,850 + 601,150 = 652,000
conversion cost per equivalent unit = 652,000 /140,000 = 4.65
Conversion cost per equivalent unit = $4.76
A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of their cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 19.930 mm and an upper specification limit of 20.070 mm. The standard deviation is 0.18 mm and the mean is 20.000 mm. b. The company now wants to reduce its defect probability and run a "six-sigma process." To what level would they have to reduce the standard deviation in the process to meet this target? (Round the answer to 5 decimal places.)
Answer:
Missing word "a. What is the process capability index for the process?"
a. Cpk = Min[USL-μ/3σ, μ-LSL/3σ]
Cpk = Min[(20.070-20)/(3*0.18) ,(20-19.930)/(3*0.18]
Cpk = Min[0.1296, 0.1296]
Hence, process capability index is 0.1296
b. 2 = Min[USL-μ/3σ, μ-LSL/3σ]
2 = Min[(20.070-20)/(3*σ) ,(20-19.930)/(3*σ]
2 = Min[(0.07/3*σ, 0.07/3*σ)]
= Min[0.07/6, 0.07/6]
σ = 0.07/6
σ = 0.0117
Hence, reduced standard deviation level is 0.0117

Kevin O’Leary suggests that Jenn and Kelley decrease the price of their product by 50% and sell 10 times as many. That is, he predicts if they drop the price of their product from $40 to $20 they will increase their quantity demanded from 6,000 to 60,000. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
New quantity demanded = 60,000
Old quantity demanded = 6,000
New price = $20
Old price = $40
The formula for calculating the price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded /
Percentage change in price ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded = {(New quantity demanded - Old
quantity demanded) / [(New quantity demanded + Old quantity demanded) /
2]} * 100 = {(60,000 - 6,000) / [(60,000 + 6,000) / 2]} * 100 = 163.636363636364%
Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old
price) / 2]} * 100 = {(20 - 40) / [(20 + 40) / 2]} * 100 = -66.6666666666667%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand = 163.636363636364% / -66.6666666666667% = -2.45454545454546
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price elasticity of demand = -2.45
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.
When The price elasticity of demand for Purchase then we are using the midpoint formula from this information is: -2.45.
Elasticity of demandAccording to the Elasticity of demand, are refers to the degree within the change in demand and also when there is a little change in another economic factor, like price or income.
Then New quantity demanded is = 60,000Old quantity demanded is = 6,000
After that New price are = $20
Then Old price is = $40
When The Price elasticity of demand is = Percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price are
Percentage change in quantity demanded = * 100
= * 100
= 163.636363636364%[/tex]
Percentage change in price
= * 100
= * 100 = -66.6666666666667%[/tex]
Then Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand is =163.636363636364% [tex]-66.6666666666667% = -2.45454545454546[/tex}
Then the Price elasticity of demand is = -2.45
Thus, the value elasticity of demand for Purchase using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.

You just received a bonus at your job of $4,000 which you decide to put in a savings account at the local bank. Assume that banks lend out all excess reserves and there are no leaks in the banking system. That is, all money lent by banks get deposited in the banking system. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.The reserve requirement is 18%, how much will your deposit increase the total value of checkable deposits?If the reserve requirement is 7%, how much will your deposit increase the total value of checkable deposits?Decreasing the reserve requirement _____ the money supply.a. Decreasesb. Increases
Answer:
$22,222.22
$57,142.86
INCREASES
Explanation:
Reserve requirement is the portion of deposit received by banks that the central bank requires to be kept as deposit.
If $4000 is deposited and reserve requirement is 18%
reserves would increase by $4000 x 0.18 = 4720
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
$4000 / 0.18 = $22,222.22
$4000 / 0.07 = $57,142.86
It can be seen that the higher the reserve requirement, the lower the increase in the total value of checkable deposit
The Bonita Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Bonita has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Bonita will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $611,000, useful life 25 years.
Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $71,370 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $657,400 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,800. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Nash Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
Required:
In which building would you recommend that The Bonita Inc. locate, assuming a cost of funds?
Answer:
Building C
Explanation:
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $611,000, useful life 25 years.
Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $71,370 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $657,400 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,800. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year.
11% cost of funds
we must determine the present value of each option:
Building A's present value = $611,000
Building B's present value = $71,370 x 8.4217 (PV annuity due factor, 11%, 25 periods) = $601,057
Building C's present value = $657,400 - ($6,800 x 8.4217) = $657,400 - $57,268 = $600,132 (LOWEST PV)

Determine the tax treatment of the given expenses on their tax return.
Answer:
$7,920 for rent on the equipment
$16,800 for rent on the commercial real estate
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the tax treatment of the given expenses on their tax return.
First step is to calculate the Start Up Expenditure
Rent for April:
Commercial real estate $2,100
Equipment $990
Advertising during pre-operating phase $900
Staff hiring and training during pre-operating phase 11,500
Start Up Expenditure $15,490

Apartments is a ​-unit apartment complex. When the apartments are​ 90% occupied, monthly operating costs total $220,040. When occupancy dips to​ 80%, monthly operating costs fall to $215,480. The owner of the apartment complex is worried because many of the apartment residents work at a nearby manufacturing plant that has just announced it will close in three months. The apartment owner fears that occupancy of her apartments will drop to 55​% if residents lose their jobs and move away. Assuming the same relevant​ range, what can the owner expect her operating costs to be if occupancy falls to ​55%?
Answer:
Missing word "Use the high-low method to determine operating cost equation y=$_____, x + $ = ____"
Cost on (800*90%)=720 units is 220,040
Cost on (800*80%) = 640 Units is 215,480
Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost/High activity-low activity = 4560 / 80 = $57 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost = 220,040 - (720*$57) = 220,040 - 41,040 = $179000
Cost equation:
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit
Y = 179000 + 57X
Y = 179000 + (57*440)
Y = $204,080

The process of earning compound interest allows a depositor or investor to earn interest on any interest earned in prior periods.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
Compound interest can be regarded as
adding of interest gotten to the principal sum of a deposit or the principal sum of a loan. It's one that is gotten after reinvesting of ones interest instead of paying it out, as a result of this the interest that comes in
next period will be earned on the principal sum along with those interests accumulated before. It should be noted the process of earning compound interest allows a depositor or investor to earn interest on any interest earned in prior periods.
You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semiannual interest payment. The bond rate is 6.6% per year payable semiannually. You plan to hold the bond for 7 years, selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest payment. If your desired nominal yield is 10% per year compounded semiannually, what will be your minimum selling price for the bond
Answer:
$12,341.80
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum selling price for the bond is shown below:
Semi-annual = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
Semi-annual compounding periods = 7 × 2 = 14
Semi-annual coupon (for 10 bonds) = $10,000 × 6.6% × (1 ÷ 2) = $330
as we know that
Here We assume the selling price be S
The Present worth of the bond = PW of future cash flows
$9,500 = $330 × P/A(5%, 14) + S × P/F(5%, 14)
$9,500 = $330 × 9.898641 + S × 0.505068
$9,500 = $3,266.55 + S × 0.505068
S × 0.505068 = $6,233.45
= $12,341.80
In recent years, Avery Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information conserning the buses is summarized as follow.
Bus Acquired cost salvage Value Useful Life in Years Depreciation Method
1 1/1/12 $99,100 $7,900 4 Strait-line
2 1/1/12 128,000 11,000 4 Declining- balance
3 1/1/13 66,350 8,800 5 Unit-of-activity
For the declining -balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. for the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 115,100. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were: 2013, 23,400; 2014, 32,700; and 2015, 31,900. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.(Round answer to 2 decimal places,e.g.$0.50.).
Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2014 (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $2,125.).
2014
BUS 1 $
BUS 2 $
BUS3 $
If bus 2 was purchased on April 1 instead of January 1, what is the depreciation expense for this bus in 2012 and 2013? (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g.$2,125.).
2012 2013
Depreciation expense $ $
Answer:
1. For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method
Depreciation expense per mile = ((Cost of bus - Salvage value) / Total miles)
= ($66,350 - $8,800) / 115,100 miles
= $0.5 per mile
The depreciation expense per mile is $0.5 per mile.
2. BUS 1
Depreciation for 1 year = (Cost of assets - Residual value) / Useful life
= $99,100−$7,900 / 4 years
= $22,800
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation for 1 year * 3 years (from 2012 to 2014)
= $22,800 * 3 years
= $68,400
BUS 2
Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%
Years Annual Depreciation Accum. depreciation
2012 $64,000(128,000*50%) $64,000
2013 $32,000(128,000-64,000)*50% $96,000
2014 $16,000(128,000-64,000-32,000)*50% $112,000
BUS 3
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation expense per mile * Total miles of 2013 and 2014
= $0.50 * (23,400 miles +32,700 miles)
= $0.50 * 56,100 miles
= $28,050
3. Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%
Years Depreciation Calculation
2012 $48,000 128,000*50%*9/12
2013 $40,000 128,000-40,000*50%
So, the depreciation expense for Bus 2 for 2012 and 2013 is $48,000 and $40,000
Answer 1:
The depreciation expense per mile under units of activity method of Bus=3 :
Depreciation Expense per mile = ((Cost of bus - Salvage value) / Total miles) Depreciation Expense per mile = ($66,350 - $8,800) / 115,100 miles Depreciation Expense per mile= $0.5 per mile
Answer 2: The amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus on December 31, 2014 :
BUS 1Depreciation for 1 year = (Cost of assets - Residual value) / Useful life
Depreciation for 1 year = $99,100−$7,900 / 4 years
Depreciation for 1 year = $22,800
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation for 1 year * 3 years (from 2012 to 2014)
Accumulated Depreciation = $22,800 * 3 years
Accumulated Depreciation= $68,400
BUS 2
Years Annual Depreciation Accum. Depreciation
2012 $64,000(128,000*50%) $64,000
2013 $32,000(128,000-64,000)*50% $96,000
2014 $16,000(128,000-64,000-32,000)*50% $112,000
Note : Depreciation rate = (1/4 *100)*2 = 50%
BUS 3
Accumulated depreciation = Depreciation expense per mile * Total miles of 2013 and 2014
Accumulated depreciation= $0.50 * (23,400 miles +32,700 miles)
Accumulated depreciation= $0.50 * 56,100 miles
Accumulated depreciation= $28,050
Answer 3: The depreciation expense for this bus in 2012 and 2013:
Years Depreciation Calculation
2012 $48,000 128,000*50%*9/12
