Answer:
The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years
Explanation:
The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life of the asset
Plugging in the values for depreciation expense per year, cost and salvage value, we can calculate the total expected life of the asset.
5000 = (53000 - 3000) / estimated useful life of the asset
estimated useful life of the asset = 50000 / 5000
estimated useful life of the asset = 10 years
As the accumulated depreciation balance is of 15000, the depreciation for 15000/5000 = 3years has been charged.
The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years
In the study of geomorphology, processes like weathering and erosion are key to how the rocks will be sculpted by natural forces to produce interesting landforms like buttes and mesas for example. The distribution of geomorphological features like say the Amazon River by latitude is important but the process that shaped the landforms is more important as to how it got its present configuration.
23% decrease.
We can do this by simply dividing 1,650,000 by 2,150,000. That would give us 0.7674. Multiply that by 100 and you have 76.74%.
However, this is the percent amount of how 1,650,000 is out of 2,150,000. So, we need to simply minus this answer by 100 to get 23.26, or 23%.
