Deacon Company plans to depreciate a new building using the double declining-balance depreciation method. The building cost is $990,000. The estimated salvage value of the building is $69,000 and it has an expected useful life of 20 years. Assuming the first year's depreciation expense was recorded properly, what would be the amount of depreciation expense for the second year

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
