Answer: $160,000

Explanation:

To find the depletion rate per ton:

= ( Cost - residual value) / Capacity in tons

= (960,000 - 0) / 240,000

= $4 per ton

During the first year, the extraction was 40,000 tons. Thus, the depletion amount is:

= 40,000 * 4

= $160,000

harina [3808]

Réponse:

Amy possède un avantage absolu dans la production de tartes aux pommes et de glaces.

Amy a un avantage comparatif dans la production de tartes aux pommes.

Brad a un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Amy devrait se spécialiser dans la production de tartes aux pommes, tandis que Brad devrait se focaliser sur la production de glaces.

Explication:

Une personne a un avantage comparatif dans un domaine si elle produit à un coût d'opportunité inférieur par rapport à d'autres individus.

Coût d'opportunité de Brad:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes = 10 / 5 = 2

Pour produire une glace: 5 / 10 = 0.5

Coût d'opportunité d'Amy:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes: 15/15 = 1

Pour produire des glaces: 15/15 = 1

Amy a le coût d'opportunité le plus bas comparé à Brad pour la production de tartes aux pommes. Ainsi, elle détient un avantage comparatif dans ce domaine.

Brad présente un coût d'opportunité inférieur à celui d'Amy pour la production de glaces. Il possède donc un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Une personne doit se spécialiser et échanger le produit pour lequel elle a un avantage comparatif.

Un individu a un avantage absolu dans la production d'un bien s'il produit une quantité supérieure à celle des autres.

Amy a un avantage absolu dans la production des deux biens.

To what extent do cost recovery deductions based on the capitalized cost of a tangible asset reflect a decline in the economic v
marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

Cost recovery deductions do not relate to any decrease in the property's value concerning which the deduction applies.

Explanation:

Capitalized costs refer to expenses incurred when constructing and financing a fixed asset, such as labor costs.

These expenses contribute to the asset's cost (capitalized) and are deducted gradually through depreciation, depletion, and amortization over time. They are not deducted from the revenue of the period they are incurred.

Thus, the cost deductions based on capitalized costs do not reflect the asset's value but represent an expense associated with that asset, with payments distributed over time.

For instance, if $1,200 is spent on constructing an asset valued at $500,000, that $1,200 will be capitalized over 12 months, resulting in a monthly deduction of $100 from expenses. This does not impact the asset's value ($500,000).

arsen [3447]

Answer:

- Net present value for each project:

For Project A: $37,193

For Project B: $4,629

=> Project A should be selected based on the NPV approach due to its higher NPV.

- The internal rate of return for each project:

For Project A: 20%

For Project B: 12%

=> Project A is preferable when considering the IRR approach as it boasts a higher IRR

Explanation:

- The calculations for net present value are as follows:

For Project A: NPV = -111,000 + (37,116/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $37,193

For Project B: NPV = -43,000 + (11,929/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $4,629.

- Regarding the internal rate of return;

IRR represents the discount rate that results in an NPV of zero for the project's cash flows. Thus:

For Project A: -111,000 + (37,116/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 20%

For Project B: -43,000 + (11,929/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 12%
