Answer:

Double-declining balance method

Explanation:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 20%

Now the rate is double So, 40%

In year 1, the original cost is $15,000, so the depreciation is $6,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the depreciation is ($15,000 - $6,000) × 40% = $3,600

And, in year 3, the depreciation is ($15,000 - $6,000 - $3,600) × 40% = $2,160

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Price lowers and becomes negative or -5.37 dollars

Explanation:

Market risk premium's formula could be written as dividends/price + dividend's growth rate. Therefore, we dividend growth rate according to the current price and dividend level equal to market risk premium - dividends/price or 0.15 - 1/15.43 = 0.086 or 8.6%. If the dividend growth rate rises by 25% than new one is 33.6%. Price is equal to dividends/market risk premium - dividend growth rate or in this case 1/0.15-0.336 or 1/-0.186 or -5.37 dollars. If the price is negative that would mean that any future selling of the stock would mean that ABC would have to pay in order to sell it.

g100num [7]

Answer:

5,275

Explanation:

The targeted pretax income is the difference between the targeted total sales and the estimated total cost.

The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the level of activities or number of units produced and sold.

Contribution margin is the difference between the sales and variable cost.

Let the number of units to be sold be F

114F - 34F - 222,000 = 200,000

80F = 422,000

F = 422,000/80

= 5,275
