One technological advance I have experienced in detail was the conversion from Imperial to the metric system in Canada especially in the mines I worked at. The advantage was that now everything could be done in 10's like millimeters, centimeters, metres and kilometers for example. The drawback would be that I was accustomed to say with cars to use miles per gallon and I had a hard time to envisage kilometres per liter. Another innovation I experienced first hand was the development of the GPS. This made it easier to locate oneself in the field provided there was good satellite reception and at least for the handheld GPS the accuracy was only down to about +-5meters so was not exact. Only the more expensive GPS like the Trimble could zero one in with sub-centimetre accuracy.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Change in Assets is $127,500

Explanation:

The accounting equation for a corporation is:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

⇒ Liabilities = Assets - Stockholders' Equity

= $285,000 - $130,500

= $154,500

At the end of years,

  • Liabilities amount = Liabilities in the beginning + Change in liabilities = $154,500+ $90,000 = $244,500
  • Stockholder's equity amount = Stockholder's equity + Change in stockholder's equity = $130,500 + $37,500 = $168,000

The assets at the end of year = $168,000 + $244,500 = $412,500

Change in Assets = $412,500 - $285,000 = $127,500

Shorter answer:

Change in Assets = Change in Liabilities + Change in Stockholders' Equity

= $90,000 + $37,500 = $127,500

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

PV= $62,158.4

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual payment= $6,400

Number of periods= 15 years

Interest rate= 6% = 0.06

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment

FV= {6,400*[(1.06^15) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $148,966.21

<u>Now, the present value:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 148,966.21 / (1.06^15)

PV= $62,158.4
