Bob bought some land costing $16,390. today, that same land is valued at $46,817. How long has bob owned this land if the price

faltersainse [42]

Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Given that land was bought by Bob for $16390, the price is increasing at the rate of 6%, price of land today is $46817.

We are required to find the time for which Bob need to own the land so that the price of the land is $46817 today.

Compounding means calculating amount on the principal and the amount added interest.

Rate of increasing the price of land be 6%.

Price when Bob bought the land=$16390.

Price of land today=$46817.

It is like compounding of interest and the sum is calculated as under:

S=P* $(1+r)^{n}$

In the above equation P is theamount at beginning,r is rate of increasing and n is the number of years.

46817=16390 $(1+0.06)^{n}$

46817/16390= $(1.06)^{n}$

$(1.06)^{n}$ =2.8564

$(1.06)^{n}$ = $(1.06)^{18}$ (Approximately)

From both the sides we will get n=18.

Hence Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Archie Co. purchased a framing machine for $45,000 on January 1, 2021. The machine is expected to have a four-year life, with a

k0ka [10]

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.

Straight line:

2014 $ 65,250

2015 $ 87,000

2016 $ 87,000

2017 $ 21,750

units-of-output method:

2014 $ 108,750

2015 $ 79,750

2016 $ 58,000

2017 $ 14,500

dobule declining method

2014 135,000

2015 45,000

2016 15,000

2017 9,000

Explanation:

Straight line:

(cost - salvage value) / useful life

(270,000 - 9,000)/3 = 87,000 per complete year

First year: from April 1st to December 31th

87,000 x 9/12 = 65,250

Second and third year are complete year thus, 87,000

fourth year: from Jan 1st to March 31th:

87,000 x 3/12 = 21,750

units-of-output method:

(cost - salvage value) / unit of output

261,000 / 18,000 = 14.5 per hour

We multiply each year hours by this rate

7,500 x 14.5 = 108,750

5,500x 14.5 = 79,750

4,000x 14.5 = 58,000

1,000 x 14.5 = 14,500

double declining

we multiply by twice the rate of of straight line:

1/3 x 2 = 2/3 we depreciate this amount of the carrying vbalue per year

Last year we adjust to obtain the residual value

Year Beginning Rate Dep expense Carrying value

2014 270,000 0.50 135,000 135,000

2015 135,000 0.67 90,000 45,000
