Answer:

d. 6 years

Explanation:

Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over a period of time. The asset has a useful life period after which it is referred to as scrap.

The value of the asset after it's useful life is called the salvage value.

Useful life of an asset is estimated and deductions in its value are made till the useful life is exhausted.

In this scenario the useful life was initially taken to be 6 years.

After 4 years it was realised a mistake wasade and useful life is supposed to be 10 years

Since useful life of the asset remains contstant, the remaining years of useful life is the real estimate of useful life less years already used.

Remaining useful life = 10 - 4 = 6 years

A survey of 50 retail stores revealed that the average price of a microwave was $375 with a sample standard deviation of $20. As
ohaa [14]

Answer:

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60

Explanation:

Relevant data:

n=50\\\mu=375\\\sigma=20\\\alpha=0,001

As we want to know the 99% confidence interval, the significance level is:

(1-\alpha).100\%=99\%\\1-\alpha=0.99\\\alpha=0.01

We need to estimate a confidence interval by a two tailed normal bell. Then we have:

Z_{\alpha/2}=Z_{0.005}

The z-value for a probability of 0.005 in a normal standard distribution is 2.576

Confidence interval is given by;:

\=x\±Z_{\alpha/2}\sigma\\375\±Z_{\0.005}(20)\\375\±(2.58)(20)\\375\±51.60

375+51.60=426.60\\375-51.60=323.40

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60
