Answer:

It will take her 10 years to reach the retirement goal of $69,082.

Explanation:

Annuity can be explained as a constant stream of payments made at specific and/or special interval.

From the scenario painted, $5000 represents the annuity figure, as this is expected to be made annually at a 7% interest rate. The goal is to reach $69,082 in retirement fund. The $69,082 thus represents the future annuity. The $69,082 is the future value that is expected to have aggregated over time through the constant payment of the annuity figure of $5000 at a specified interest rate. Thus, this is called future value of annuity.

To get the future value of an annuity, we simply relate the future value, annuity payment and the interest factor together.

Thus, future value= annuity * interest factor.

Future value =$69,082

Annuity=$5,000

Hence, making interest factor the subject of the formula, we have:

Interest factor=$69,082/$5,000

Interest factor= 13.82(approximation)

Therefore, looking this up on the future value of an annuity table, at the specified rate of interest - 7%, the number of years we would arrive at is 10.

A manufacturing operation consists of 10 operations. However, five machining operations must be completed before any of the rema
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is: 14,400 different production sequences are possible

Explanation:

For this calculation I will assume that the first 5 operations can be made in any order, as well as the last 5.

For the first set of machining operations, since they can go in any order, you choose one operation and then you have 4 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 3 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 2 operations left, you choose another option and you have only 1 operation left.  This process can be expressed by the following equation: 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations. Mathematically it can also be expressed as 5! = 120

The same for the last 5 assembly operations, you have 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations.

So to get the total possible combinations of all the process, we just multiply 120 x 120 = 14,000 or 5! x 5! = 14,400

Andru [333]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

a. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $36,800            ($40,000 – $3,200)

                    To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited

b. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $40,730          ($40,000 + $730)

     To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $40,730

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited
