21. Overstating ending inventory will overstate all of the following except:<br /><br />B. Cost of goods sold.<br /><br />Explanation: Overstating ending inventory will result in an understatement of the cost of goods sold, as the cost of goods sold is calculated as beginning inventory plus purchases minus ending inventory. Therefore, overstating ending inventory will not overstate the cost of goods sold.<br /><br />22. What would be the depreciation expense using double-declining-balance to compute the expense for year 2 of a machine costing $15,000 when residual value is $5,000 and useful life is 5 years?<br /><br />C. $3,600<br /><br />Explanation: The double-declining-balance method calculates depreciation by applying a constant rate to the declining book value of the asset each year. The rate is determined by doubling the straight-line depreciation rate. In this case, the straight-line depreciation rate is 20% (100% / 5 years). Therefore, the double-declining-balance rate is 40% (20% x 2). For the first year, the depreciation expense is $6,000 ($15,000 x 40%). For the second year, the depreciation expense is calculated based on the remaining book value of $9,000 ($15,000 - $6,000). Therefore, the depreciation expense for the second year is $3,600 ($9,000 x 40%).
