f. If the asset is sold at the end of Year 3, which method would yield the highest gain (or lowest loss) on disposal of the asset?
Answers
Answer:
a. What is the cost of the asset being depreciated?
the cost of the asset = $35,000 / 0.4 = $87,500
b. What amount, if any, was used in the depreciation calculations for the salvage value for this asset?
salvage value = $87,500 - (5 x $15,750) = $8,750
c. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 1?
double declining results in the highest depreciation expense
d. Which method will produce the highest charge to income in Year 4?
straight line results in the highest depreciation expense
e. Which method will produce the highest book value for the asset at the end of Year 3?
straight line, book value = $87,500 - (3 x $15,750) = $40,250
f. If the asset is sold at the end of Year 3, which method would yield the highest gain (or lowest loss) on disposal of the asset?
double declining balance, since the carrying value is lowest = $87,500 - $35,000 - $21,000 - $12,600 = $18,900
e.g. if the assets is sold at $30,000, the gain = $11,100
under straight line method a $30,000 resale price would result in a loss(= $30,000 - $40,250 = -$10,250), while sum of years' digit would result in a gain = $30,000 - ($87,500 - $26,250 - $21,000 - $15,750) = $5,500

Fixed Cost 216,640
Explanation:
The first step is calculate the difference between activity levels
This tell us 25 units generated cost for 154,000
154,000 / 25 = Variable Cost = 6,250
Now we use either the low or high values to solve for fixedcost:
total = variable + fixed
fixed = total - variable
HIGH
Total Cost 500,000
Variable 283,360 (6,250 x 46)
Fixed Cost 216,640
LOW
Total Cost 346,000
Variable 129,360 (6,250 x 21)
Fixed Cost 216,640
