Answer 1

a) Net income = Revenue-Expense

Depreciation expense = (35000-3000/4) = 8000

Net income = 36000-12000-8000 = $16000

b) Depreciation expense = (35000-3000/4) = $8000

c) Accumulated depreciation = 8000*2 = $16000

d) Depreciation expense is non Cash expense so Cash flow from operating activities would not be affected by Depreciation

e) Gain (loss) = Sale value-Book value = 10000-(35000-8000*3) = -1000
