Rick gave his son $100 to buy food and drinks. His son returned with $25.50 in change. Therefore the amount spent was
$100 - $25.50 = $74.50.

Let
x = number of hot dogs bought (at $3.50 per hot dog).
y = number of milk shakes bought (at $8 per milk shake).
There were 8 orders of soda at $5 per soda.

The total order is $74.50, therefore
3.50x + 8y + 8*5 = 74.50
Simplify to obtain
8y = 74.5 - 3.5x
  y = 4.3125 - 0.4375x

We must have whole numbers (integers) for x and y.
Create a table that varies x from 0 to 8, and look for y to be an integer, as shown below.

  x       y
---  -------
 0   4.3125
 1    3.8750
 2   3.4375
 3   3
 4   2.5625
 5   2.1250
 6   1.6875
 7    1.2500
 8    0.8125

Because we cannot have fractional values for either x or y, the solution is x=3, y=3

Answer:
3 hot dogs, 3 milk shakes, and 8 sodas.

Explanation:

  • IFRS becomes quite 'principles-based', although this would be the accounting framework used in more than 110 countries throughout the globe.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

C. A capital expenditure.

Explanation:

This is an example of a capital expenditure as it makes significant improvements to the machines and extends the life considerably.

These types of expenses are capitalized in the balance sheets under the original asset name and the asset is revalued by the improvement cost and stated at net book value + improvement.

Revised depreciation is then calculated on this new NBV as applicable with increased life of asset.

Hope that helps.

If you buy a share of stock for $15 and sell it two years later for $18.50, what is the annual percent return (on a compounded b
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

11%

Explanation:

Compounding is the method used to determine the future worth of an amount today while discounting is the method used to determine the present value of a future amount.

Both are related by

Fv = Pv(1 + r)^n

where Fv is the future amount

Pv is the present value

r = rate

n = time

As such,

18.5 = 15 (1 + r)^2

1.2333 =  (1 + r)^2

1 + r = 1.11

r = 0.11

the annual percent on returns is 11%
