I will prefer to know the OPERATING INCOME. Operating income refers to the operating profits of a company before the taxes and interests are removed. It reflects the true situation of the company and can be used to analyse if a company is making profits from its manufacturing process or not. The net income of a company has some expenses and costs that do not reflect the core operations of the company.

In 2010, Norbert Incorporated bought a new tooling machine for $45,000. Norbert estimated that the machine had a useful life of
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Norbert should record at 2020 depreciation expense of $2,700 for the machine

Explanation:

The depreciable base can be calculated as follows;

depreciable base=acquisition cost-salvage value

where;

acquisition cost=$45,000

salvage value=$0

replacing;

depreciable base=45,000-0=$45,000

Annual depreciation expense=depreciable base/useful life

annual depreciation expense=45,000/15=$3,000

accumulated depreciation after 10 years=3,000×10=$30,000

New net book value=acquisition cost-accumulated depreciation+overhaul cost

New machine value=(45,000-30,000+12,000)=$27,000

New depreciation base=new machine value-salvage value

where;

new machine value=$27,000

salvage value=$0

replacing;

New depreciation base=27,000-0=$27,000

New Annual depreciation expense=new depreciation base/useful life

where;

new depreciation base=$27,000

useful life=5+5=10 years

replacing;

New Annual depreciation expense=27,000/10=$2,700

Norbert should record at 2020 depreciation expense of $2,700 for the machine

Many academic institutions offer a sabbatical policy. Every seventh year a professor is given a year free of teaching and other
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

$ 127,773.36

Explanation:

The professor will be in sabbatical  in years 7,  14, 21, 28, 35 and 42

In each of these years, he receives full pay amounting to=50,000

The PV of the sabbatical full pay

= \frac{50,000}{1.04^7} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^14} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^21} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^28} + \frac{50,000}{1.04^35} +\frac{50,000}{1.04^42} = 84,101.22

=50,000/(1+4%)^7+ 50,000/(1+4%)^14+ 50,000/(1+4%)^21+ 50,000/(1+4%)^28+50,000

/(1+4%)^35+ 50,000/(1+4%)^42

==50,000/(1+4%)^7+ 50,000/(1+4%)^14+ 50,000/(1+4%)^21+ 50,000/(1+4%)^28+50,000

/(1+4%)^35+ 50,000/(1+4%)^42

= \frac{50,000}{1.316} + \frac{50,000}{1.732} + \frac{50,000}{2.279}  +\frac{50,000}{2.999} +\frac{50,000}{3.946} + \frac{50,000}{5.193}

=37,993.92 + 28,868.36 + 21,939.45 + 16,672.22 + 12,671.06 + 9,628.35

=  $ 127,773.36

Thus, at an interest rate of 4%, the present value of all the sabbatical earnings amount to $ 127,773.36
