VI. (12 points)The ABC Company, located in Boston, purchases a piece ofequipment from a dealer in Chicago for $700,000.  The cost ofshipping the equipment, $50,000, will be paid for by ABC Co.  Itis estimated that the asset will last four years and at the endof its useful life will have a salvage value of $30,000.  Whenthe equipment arrives it has to be set up and adjusted, at acost of $40,000.1. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation.The depreciation expense for year one and year two

would be

a) 190,000; 190,000b) 190,000;  95,000c)  95,000; 190,000

5d) 136,667; 136,667

2. Assume the company uses double declining balance (DDB)depreciation.  The depreciation expense for years one

and year two would be

3. Assume the company uses sum-of-the-years’-digits (SYD)depreciation.  The depreciation expense for year one

and year two would be

a) 316,000; 237,000c)300,000; 200,000b) 304,000; 228,000d) 76,000; 152,000

4. This part is independent of parts one through three.Assume that a company purchased an asset for $700,000.This asset has an estimated salvage value of $50,000. At the end of three years the balance in theaccumulated depreciation account is $80,000, when the

asset is sold for $610,000.

Required

Provide the journal entry for the sale of the asset.VII. (8 points).  Consider each of the following scenarios independently.1. If the beginning balance in Salaries Payable was $7,700, theending balance was $8,500, and during the year the cash paid forsalaries (earned both last year and this year) was $90,000, whatmust have been the Salary Expense for the year?2.  On October 1, 1998 a six year insurance policy was purchasedfor $30,000.  By mistake this entire cost was expensedimmediately and this error was never corrected.  Ignore taxes.At the end of 2001 is the Retained Earnings correctly statedand, if not, is it overstated or understated and by how much?3.  Assume the following.  Net assets (assets minus liabilities)at the beginning of the year were $600,000 and at the end of theyear they were $450,000; common stock increased (some wereissued) during the year by $50,000; and dividends declared forthe year were $120,000.  What must have been the net income forthe year?4.  The XYZ Company had Supplies Expense for the year of$32,000. The ending balance in the Supplies account was 5,600.If the supplies purchased during the year amounted to $20,000,what must have been the beginning balance in the supplies account?

I need assistance for this review I just competed and I wanted to match my answer and see step by step solution. 

(1) TrueRevenues – Expense = Loss.Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net profit – Dividends paidA loss will decrease retained earnings.(2) TrueA post-closing trial…
