An analyst has gathered the following information about a company:
Accumulated depreciation: $12,032
Depreciation expense: $2,317
Net income: $6,982
Tax rate: 34%
Gross fixed assets: $34,568
Accumulated depreciation: $12,032
Depreciation expense: $2,317
Net income: $6,982
Tax rate: 34%
What are the relative and average ages of the fixed assets of the above company on the basis of straight-line assumption?
A. Relative age: 0.652; Average age: 9.71 years
B. Relative age: 0.652; Average age: 5.19 years
C. Relative age: 0.348; Average age: 5.19 years
Explanation: Relative age = 12,032 / 34,568 = 0.348
Average age = 12,032 / 2,317 = 5.19 years
Average age = 12,032 / 2,317 = 5.19 years
