What is round to the nearest 10.000?

liraira [26]

If the number is 12,759 and they ask to round to the nearest 10,000 then you look at the thousands place (where the 2 is) and is its less than 5 round down and if its more round up. so the answer would be 10,000

On January 2, 2015, Roth, Inc. purchased a laser cutting machine to be used in the fabrication of a part for one of its key prod

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a machine over its useful lifetime.

There are different types of depreciation like the straight line , double declining and the units of production method.

<u>Workings</u>

Depreciable amount = 120,000-5000 = 115,000

Useful life = 4 years

Depreciation rate = 115000/4 = 25% = 28,750

2015 2016 2017 2018

Straight line depreciation 28,750 28,750 28,750 28,750

Double declining

Double declining rate = 25%*2 = 50%

2015 = 50% * 115,000= 57,500

2016

Opening book value = 115,000-57,500 = 57500

Depreciation = 57,500*50% = 28,750

2017

Opening book value = 57500-28,750 =28750

Depreciation = 50%*28,750 =14,375

2018

Opening book value 28750-14375 = 14375

Depreciation = 14375*50% = 7188

Units of production

2015 = 280000/1150,000*115,000 = 28,000

2016 =430,000/1150000*115000 = 43,000

2017= 360000/1150000*115000 = 36,000

2018 = 80,000/1150000*115000 = 8000

B

IF the machine was bought on July 1, 2015

Straight line depreciation

2015 = (25%*115000 ) /2 = 14,375

2016 =25%* 115,000 = 28,750

2017 = 25%*115000 = 28750

2018 = 25%*115,000 =28750

2019 =(25%*115000)/2 = 14,375

Double declining method

2015

(115,000*50,000)/2 =28750

2016

Opening book value =115,000-28750 =86250

Depreciation = 50%*86250 = 43,125

2017

Opening book value =86250-43125 =43125

Depreciation = 43,125*50% = 21,563

2018

Opening book value

43125-21563 =21562

Depreciation = 21562*50% =10,781

2019

Opening book value = 21562-10781 =10781

Depreciation = 50%*10781 = 5391

1. Explain the difference between required rate of return and expected rate of return. If they are different at a specific point

77julia77 [94]

Answer: The answers to the questions are provided below.

Explanation:

1. The Required Rate of Return(RRR) is the absolute minimum return on an investment that an individual or firm would accept for the investment to be considered worthwhile. The required rate of return helps in deciding whether an investment is worth the cost or not.

An expected rate of return helps in knowing out how much one can expect to make from an investment. An expected rate of return is the return on investment that an individual or firm expects to make when investing in a stock.

The RRR is the least possible rate which would entice someone to invest while the expected rate of return is what the person plan to make from that investment and its calculation is based on probability.

When there is difference between the required rate of return and expected rate of return for an asset at a specific period of time, it means that the economic conditions aren't normal as there is either inflation or deflation in the market.

2. The holding period return is the total return gotten from holding an asset over a particular period of time which is known as the “holding” period while the expected return is the return based on probability-weighted average of likely returns from an investment.

3. Diversification is a technique that is applied to reduce risk through the allocation of investments among several financial instrument and industries. Diversification aims to maximize the returns through investment in different sectors because each sector will likely react differently when there's a risk. Investing in more than one asset through diversification is essential because each asset will react differently when a risk occurs.

Consumers know that some fraction x of all new cars produced and sold in the market are defective. The defective ones cannot be

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Given :

The $\text{consumers value}$ the non defective cars = $\$ 10,000$

We will consider all the defective $\text{ cars are used cars}$ only. This is only because the value of the used car is $ 2000 and it is lower than the price of a good car that is $10,000. Thus only defective cars are being sold as the old cars.

For a risk neutral customer, the price that he is ready to give for the new car is the reservation price of a non defective car. It means that (the amount of $ 8000 is the value of the good car x chances of getting a good car) +( the value of the bad car x chances of getting a bad car).

Since we know that x is the fraction of all the cars sold in the market are defective, it means that the fraction of the good cars is 1 - x. Thus putting the values,

$x\times 2000+(1-x)\times 10000=8000$

$10000-8000x=80000$

$8000x=2000$

$x=\frac{2}{8}$

= 0.25

Thus the value of :

$x=\frac{2}{8} = 0.25$
