A new machine costing $1,800,000 cash and estimated to have a $60,000 salvage value was purchased on January 1. The machine is expected to produce 600,000 units of product during its 8-year useful life. Calculate the depreciation expense in the first year under the following independent situations:1. The company uses the units-of-production method and the machine produces 70,000 units of product during its first year.2. The company uses the double-declining-balance method.3. The company uses the straight-line method.

What will be an ideal response?


1. ($1,800,000 - $60,000)/600,000 units = $2.90/unit; 70,000 units * $2.90/unit = $203,000
2. $1,800,000 * 25% = $450,000
3. ($1,800,000 - $60,000)/8 years = $217,500

Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. The Taft-Hartley Act makes it illegal for workers (or their unions) to engage in boycotts. 2. As a result of a labor dispute with WaveMakers (a boat manufacturing company), the union organizes a national boycott of WaveMaker boats. When the boycott proves to be unsuccessful in pressuring WaveMakers to concede to the union demands, the union extends its boycott to several other boat manufacturers, hoping they will influence WaveMakers to settle. This action is legal under the Taft-Hartley Act. 3. It is legal for a union and management to negotiate a contract that requires the employer to hire only union workers. 4. The right-to-work provision in Taft-Hartley allows states to pass laws that prohibit unions and management from negotiating union or agency shop agreements. 5. After a successful union organizing attempt at a manufacturing plant in Tennesse, the owners refuse to bargain an initial contract with the union, arguing the state's right-to-work law allows them to "refuse" union representation. The employer's interpretation of the law is correct.
