Answer:

A. 1,406

Explanation:

Double-declining balance formula = 2 X Cost of the asset X Depreciation rate

The cost of asset =  $7,500

salvage value  = $500

estimated useful life = 8years

To calculate the depreciation value using Double-declining balance formula = 2 X Cost of the asset X Depreciation rate

Depreciation rate = 1/useful life *100 = (1/8) * 100 = 12.5%

Therefore

2 x $7500 x 12.5% =  $1,875 - year 1

for the second year the cost of asset will be$ 7,500 - $1,875 =  $5625

2 x  $5625 x 12.5% = $1,406.25

Therefore the answer is $1,406

One inherent risk to using lean philosophy is that companies are at higher risk of inventory shortage during volatile times such
olganol [36]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As in the lean philosophy the production is based on specific customer demands, there are chances that when the order is received then the inventory required is not present and that the inventory is not held in hand.

Whereas in the traditional philosophy the production is based on the principle of budgets and sales forecast, accordingly the sales keeps on moving and the inventory is also held in hand prior to confirmation of order from customers.

Since there is no planning before the order is received from customers under lean, in emergency cases, or scarcity of resources, the inventory will fall short, and acquisition of inventory would not be easy.

On January 1, 20Y8, Crabb & Co. sold land to ASP, Inc. and accepted a two-year, $500,000 face value note as payment. 6% inte
jeka94

Answer:

1. Discount

2. $449,298.47

3. $369,298.47 gain

4. land reduces by $80,000, investment increases by $449,298.47, reserves increases by $369,298.47

Explanation:

Question 1

Using the formula below

Price=\frac{I_{1}}{1+r} +\frac{I_{2}+F}{(1+r)^{2}}

where

I = interest rate, which is 6% of 500,000 = 30,000

F = Face value, 500,000

r = borrowing cost = 12%

Therefore, the price of the note at the time it was used for payment was

Price=\frac{30,000}{1.12} +\frac{30,000+500,000}{(1.12)^{2}}

= $449,298.47.

As the price is lower than the face value of the note, the note was issued at a discount.

Question 2

The fair market value of the note is $449,298.47, the compute price in question 1.

Question 3

The gain/loss on the sale of the land

= sale price - purchase price

= $449,298.47 - 80,000

= $369,298.47.

Question 4

The transaction would affect Crabb & Co's balance sheet as follows.

<em>Asset side:</em>

land reduces by $80,000

investment increases by $449,298.47

<em>Equity & liabilities side:</em>

reserves increases by $369,298.47
