For tax purposes, you may have to report the value of your assets, such as cars or refrigerators. The value you report drops wit

h time. Straight-line depreciation'' assumes that the value is a linear function of time. If a 1600 dollar refrigerator depreciates completely in 15 years, find a formula for its value as a function of time, x, in years.

Answer:

y=-107 x+1,600, where y is the value of the refrigerator in x years, and x is the number of years.

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation is a method of asset valuation where the fixed asset is assumed to undergo constant depreciation per unit time. This means that the change in value during a given period is constant, where if you plot a value of asset value on the vertical axis against time, x in years you get a linear relationship thus the name straight-line depreciation.

The depreciation of the refrigerator in our case can be expressed as;

{(I-F)/x}=k

where;

I=initial value of refrigerator

F=final value of refrigerator

x=time interval

k=constant of proportionality

{(Initial value-final value)/time interval}=K

In our case;

I=1,600

F=0

x=15 years

replacing;

{(1,600-0)/15}=k

k=1,600/15=107

Express the equation where;

Initial value=1,600

value after x years=y

k=107

time=x

replacing;

(1,600-y)/x=107

1,600-y=107 x

y=-107 x+1,600

The formula is;

y=-107 x+1,600, where y is the value of the refrigerator in x years, and x is the number of years.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

It cost $915,166.69

Explanation:

R=75,000

i=j/m, j=0.0525, m=1 - annually

i=0.0525

n=mt

n=20

An=R[1-(1+i)^-n] : i

An=(75,000x[1-(1+0.0525)^-20]) : 0.0525

An=$ 915,166.69

A company had stock outstanding as follows during each of its first three years of operations: 2,500 shares of 10%, $100 par, cu
ad-work [718]

Answer:

See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached photo for the completed the schedule.

In the attach excel file, the following formulae and calculations are used:

Peferred stock dividend per share = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in a year / Number of cumulative preferred shares

Common stock dividend per share = Total common stock dividend paid in a year / Number of common shares

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend = Number of cumulative preferred stock * Par value * Dividend rate = 2,500 * $100 * 10% =  2,500 * $100 * 10% = $25,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 1 = $25,000 - $10,000 = $15,000

Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 1 = $15,000

Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Total cumulative preferred stock dividend + Outstanding cumulative preferred stock dividend in Year 2 = $25,000 + $15,000 = $40,000

Total common stock dividend paid in Year 3 = Dividend distributed in Year 3 - Total cumulative preferred stock dividend paid in Year 3 = $60,000 - $40,000 = $20,000
