Answer:

Cash                                             15700 Dr

Accumulated depreciation         15000 Dr

   Equipment - Tractor                       29000 Cr

   Gain on sale - Equipment               1700 Cr

Explanation:

The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense per year throughout the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset

Depreciation expense per year = (29000 - 4000) / 5 = $5000 per year

As the asset was sold after three years, the accumulated depreciation on the asset would be = 5000 * 3 = $15000

The NBV or carrying value of the asset will be = 29000 - 15000 = 14000

The gain on sale of equipment will be = 15700 - 14000 = $1700

You have just taken a job at a manufacturing company and have discovered that they use absorption costing to analyze product cos
poizon [28]

Answer and Explanation:

Respected Sir,

Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions

As per your requirement please find the explanation below:

Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.

Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.

Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.

The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

Regards
