Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

c. just-in-time

Explanation:

Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory management strategy that eliminates to need to hold high volumes of stocks. In JIT, materials are purchased to coincide with the production process. Materials bought will not be kept in the stores but will go into the production process right away.

Should the Nissan team adopt the JIT strategy, it will not require to invest a lot of money in inventory purchases. It will only buy the parts needed for a specific production run. Nissan will free up cash that would be held in components kept in stores. The company will eliminate the possibility of the parts getting damaged while in the store.  The management of the Nissan team will have to be extra careful not to run out of stock at production time.

On January 1, 20X1 NCAA Company purchased a truck that cost $24,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 5 years and a $4,000 salvage value. The amount of depreciation expense recognized in 20X3 assuming that NCAA uses the double declining balance method is:

Answers

Given:
Cost = 24,000
life = 5 years
salvage value = 4,000

Double declining balance stops when the book value of the asset is equal to its salvage value.

Double declining balance formula: 2 * straight line dep. rate * book value beginning of the year.

straight line dep rate = (24,000 - 4,000) ÷ 5 yrs = 4,000
⇒ 4,000 / 20,000 = 0.2 or 20%

year    Net book value, beg DDB dep. ext      net book value, end
2011   24,000                      9,600                   14,400
2012   14,400                      5,760                    8,640
2013     8,640                      3,456                    5,184

The depreciation expense recognized in 20x3 is 3,456.
