Simplifying
(2a + 5)(3a + -4) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(3a + -4) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(-4 + 3a) = 0
Multiply (5 + 2a) * (-4 + 3a)
(5(-4 + 3a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-4 * 5 + 3a * 5) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-20 + 15a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-4 * 2a + 3a * 2a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-8a + 6a2)) = 0
Combine like terms: 15a + -8a = 7a
(-20 + 7a + 6a2) = 0
Solving
-20 + 7a + 6a2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Factor a trinomial.

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -2a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -2a = 0
Solving
-5 + -2a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -2a = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -2a = 0 + 5
-2a = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-2a = 5
Divide each side by '-2'.
a = -2.5
Simplifying
a = -2.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
4 + -3a = 0
Solving
4 + -3a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -3a = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + -4
-3a = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-3a = -4
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 1.333333333
Simplifying
a = 1.333333333
Solution
a = {-2.5, 1.333333333}
Answer:
Value Added = Value of Output - Intermediate Consumption = Final Goods . Value
Explanation:
This can be explained with an example:
A produces flour & sells it to Grocer for Rs 100. Grocer produces Wheat & sells it to Baker for Rs 150. Baker produces bread & sells it to Consumers for Rs 200.
Value of Final Product (Used by end consumers) i.e Bread = Rs 200.
However if considering total Value Of Output including all value added at each stage = 100 + 150 + 200 = 450. This is Overestimated value of Final product Bread, because of 'Double Counting' - Grocer's wheat includes the intermediate good (good purchased for further resale/reprocessing) value of flour and Baker's bread includes value of Wheat & flour intermediate products both.
This problem can be solved by: Calculating Value Added (by subtracting intermediate consumption) at each stage & then summing it to get the Final good value.
In this case: Farmer's Value Added = VO - IC = Flour Value - 0 = 100 .
Grocer's Value Added = VO - IC = Wheat - Flour Value = 150 - 100 = 50
Baker's Value Added = VO - IC = Bread - Wheat Value = 200 - 150 = 50
Adding value added by all these 3 we get , 150 + 50 + 50 = 200 i.e equal to final good bread value 200.
Answer:
$300
Explanation:
<u><em>From Equipment Account we get :</em></u>
Cost of Equipment Sold = $12,000 - $8,200 = $3,800
<u><em>From Accumulated Depreciation Account we get :</em></u>
Accumulated Depreciation = $2,200 + $1,200 - $2,700 = $700
<u><em>Using Amounts above to prepare a Disposal Account - Equipment we get :</em></u>
Cash Proceeds = $3,800 - $700 - $2,800 = $300
Conclusion
The selling price of the equipment $300
