Answer 1

22.

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets

Northwest's return on assets = $420 / (3000+4000/2)

Northwest's return on assets = $420 / 3500 * 100 = 12%

Hence option D is correct.

23.

Depreciation rate = 100/5*2 = 40%

Depreciation expense for 2nd year = $(450,000 - 40%) * 40%

Depreciation expense for 2nd year = $270,000*40% = $108,000

Hence option B is correct.

24.

Depreciation expense for 2nd year = $(640,000-40,000) / 15,000 * 5,000 = $200,000

Hence option A is correct.

25.

Depreciation rate = 100/5*2 = 40%

Depreciation expense for year 2017 = $120,000*40%*3/12 = $12,000

Book value of plant asset as on December 31, 2017 is $108,000 (120,000-12,000)

Hence option C is correct.
