Depreciation, or a decline in asset value, can be brought forward on by a variety of other variables, such as bad market conditions, etc.
Computation of depreciation:
According to the given case,
Equipment Cost = $90,000
Salvage Value = $5,000
Useful Life = 5 years
Depreciation per Year = (Cost of asset – Salvage Value)/5 years
Depreciation per Year = ($90,000-$5,000/5)
Depreciation per Year = $17,000
Therefore, the depreciation as per straight line method would be $17,000.

The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $40 per unit.
• When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24.50.
• When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24.55.
How does the firm's marginal revenue (MR) compare to its marginal cost (MC) when it increases its output from 150 units to 151 units?

Prosecutors representing the Securities and Exchange Commission recentlyannounced criminal charges against 13 individuals for engaging in insidertrading. According to the SECs director of enforcement, a trading ring acting on inside information compromises the marketsintegrity and investorstrust. . . . Explain why.
Answer and Explanation:
Insider trading compromises the integrity of the market because insider investors have non-public information about the stocks of the company that could very much impact the value of the stock of the company. In other words, an insider knows what the public doesn't know about a company and it allows him an unfair advantage to trade the stocks of the company using this information and make large unusual profit. This could lead to market collapse as investors are no longer encouraged to invest seeing that they can't trust that the market is transparent and trustworthy(they don't have all the important information that would affect the company)
On March 1, a designer received a check for $7,500 from a customer for services to be provided after the customer chooses a color scheme for the first floor of her house. On July 31, the designer completed the design work for this customer.
Required:
Journalize the entries.
Answer:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
March 1 Cash $7,500
Unearned Revenue $7,500
Date Account Title Debit Credit
July 31 Unearned Revenue $7,500
Design Services Revenue $7,500
In March the revenue had not been earned as the work had not been carried out so the revenue will be sent to the Unearned revenue account.
When the designer finishes in July, they can now recognize the revenue so it will be moved from the Unearned revenue account to the proper revenue account.
Suppose the civilian noninstitutionalized working-age population is 35.9 million in in a hypothetical economy. Of these, 4.4 million are working part-time and 13.19 million are working full-time. Assume the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) definitions are used for calculating unemployment data. Among those not working, the most recent job-search activity for 3.40 million happened less than two weeks ago, while 1.72 million most recently looked for work between two and four weeks ago. An additional 0.86 million most recently looked for work five weeks ago, and the remaining 12.33 million who do not have jobs have not looked for work in the past six weeks. Round your answers to two decimal places. What is the size of the total labor force
Answer: 22.71 million
Explanation:
The labor force refers to both the employed and unemployed populations of a country. In other words it comprises of those who are working and those who are not working but are able to and are currently seeking employment.
Labor force = Unemployed + Employed
= 3.4 + 1.72 + 4.4 + 13.19
= 22.71 million
Those who have not looked for work in sex weeks and above are not considered unemployed.
Part time employees are considered employed.

Order size= 16.40*180= 2,952
Customer orders= 363*1= 363
Product testing= 71*13= 923

How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960 Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is the worldwide leader in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks fourth among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit and Coca Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit.
Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-line soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued : (1) PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both lemon-lime and cola markets or (2) Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintains its current 50/50 split of the cola market and split the lemon-lime market 70/30 in favor of Coca-Cola. If Pepsi introduced a lemon-lime drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively, if PepsiCo introduce a lemon-lime drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced and split the markets as listed above.
Diagram this situation using the extensive or tree-form of a game.
How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis?
Solution :
The game can be represented in a way that is shown in the file attached below.
The [tex]\text{best response of Coca-Cola}[/tex] if Pepsi introduces the new product is [tex]\text{to acquiesce}[/tex] to earn [tex]\$275[/tex] million rather than starting a price war with Coca-Cola and earn only [tex]\$100[/tex]. Thus, while [tex]\text{Coca-Cola}[/tex] might use the strategy to threaten by starting a price war in the attempt of keeping out of the market, the threat will not be credible, so the best option is to introduce the new soft drink .
The equity section of Cyril Corporation’s balance sheet shows the following. Preferred stock—6% cumulative, $25 par value, 10,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 250,000 Common stock—$8 par value, 100,000 shares issued and outstanding 800,000 Retained earnings 535,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,585,000 Determine the book value per share of common stock under two separate situations. 1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date. 2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Answer:
1. No preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Book value per share of common stock = Common Shareholder equity / Number of common stock shares
= (Total shareholders equity - Preferred stock) / Number of common stock shares
= (1,585,000 - 250,000) / 100,000
= $13.35 per share
2. Three years of preferred dividends are in arrears at the current date.
Preferred stock = (Preferred stock + Accumulated dividends)
= 250,000 + (6% * 250,000 * 3 years)
= 295,000 shares
Book value per share of common stock = (1,585,000 - 295,000) / 100,000
= $12.90 per share
Categorize each scenario as describing a movement along a demand curve or a shift of the demand curve.
a. College students rush and buy discount furniture to take advantage of a one-day sale
b. Students eat out more often as the federal government increase how much grant money it provides
c. College students reduce how detergent they for each of laundry response to higher detergent prices.
d. College students purchase many more energy drinks during finals week than during the rest of the semester.
Answer:
a, a movement along a demand curve
b. shift of the demand curve.
c. a movement along a demand curve
d. shift of the demand curve.
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
a. A discount would reduce the price of furniture, as a result the quantity demanded would increase. There would be a movement down along the demand curve.
b. As a result of the increase in grant, the income of students increase. this would lead to an increase in demand. the demand curve would shift outward
c. As a result of higher prices, the quantity demanded of detergents would reduce. This would lead to a movement up along the demand curve for detergents
d. An increase in demand for energy drinks is as a result of a change in taste. this would lead to an outward shift of the demand curve
