Answer:

Explanation:

Technology is defined by how people use scientific knowledge, and not only does scientific knowledge constantly change, but the way we use it is also constantly changing.

Emerging technologies refers to a new technology or technological innovations. The problem is that what can be considered new and how fast will it become obsolete? Our world is changing so fast, that current technology will be obsolete in just a few months, or maybe a year from now.

Because new technologies become old too fast, it is very difficult to identify them before they are no longer an innovation. Only those technologies that become mainstream can be clearly identified as emerging technologies, e.g. the iPhone was considered an emerging technology in 2007 and even though the first iPhone is obsolete now, it became mainstream technology.

On April 1, Cyclone Co. purchases a trencher for $280,000. The machine is expected to last five years and have a salvage value o

Vilka [71]

Answer:First Year Depreciation= $84,000

Second Year Deprecation= $78,400

Explanation:

Using Double declining

We have that :

Depreciation value = Cost - Salvage value

$280,000 - $40,000 =$240,000

Since machine is expected to depreciate for 5 years, Annual depreciation = 240,000 / 5 years

= $48,000

Annual Depreciation Rate = 48,000 / 240,000 = 20%

Therefore, Double declining = 20 x 2 = 40%

First Year Depreciation: from April to December

= 40% x 280,000 x 9/12 months

= $84,000

Second Year Deprecation:

= 40% x (280,000 - 84,000)

= $78,400

Taylor has a retirement account that pays 4% per year compounded monthly. Every month for 20 years, Taylor deposits $444, with t

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Taylor can withdrawn 1,374.20 dollars each month

Explanation:

Timeline:

deposits of 444 for 20 years = withdrawals of X for 15 years

<-----/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/---\\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\->

We must calcualte amount to satisfy:

future value of his deposits = present value of his withdrawals

We first need to get the future value of the retirement account

and then the PMT this fund can do.

<u>deposits future value:</u>

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C $ 444

time 240 (20 years x 12 months er year)

rate 0.003333333 ( 0.04 annual rate / 12 months = monthly rate)

$444 \times \frac{(1+0.003333333)^{240} -1}{0.003333333} = FV\\$

FV $162,847.9340

<u>withdrawals PMT:</u>

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV $162,847.93

time 180

rate 0.005

$162847.93 \div \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-180} }{0.005} = C\\$

C $ 1,374.203

Suppose you are a supply chain manager for De Beers Diamond co., and your job is to order components for a manufacturing facilit

Fed [463]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual demand (D) = 500 units

Ordering cost (S) = $5 per order

Holding cost (H) = $0.50 per unit per year

Optimal order quantity(Q):

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times S}{H}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 500\times 5}{0.50}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{5,000}{0.50}}$

$=\sqrt{10,000}$

= 100 units

So, the optimal number of diamonds to be ordered is 100 units.
