Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Probability distribution are statistical function that shows all the possible outcomes of a random variable within a given range of values.
a) The mean () of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
= (0 * 0.8) + (1 * 0.15) + (2 * 0.04) + (3 * 0.01) = 0.26
b) The standard deviation (σ) of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
Answer:
Rate is 1.5 times the straight line depreciation rate which is;
=
= $10,000 per year
Rate = * 100%
=12.5%
Reducing balance rate = 12.5% * 1.5
= 18.75%
The Depreciation Schedule would be;
Year Beginning Book Value Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation Book Value
1 $80,000 80,000*18.75% = $15,000 $15,000 $65,000
2 $65,000 65,000 * 18.75% = $12,1875.50 $27,187.50 $52,812.50
3 $52,812.50 52,812.5 *18.75% = $9,902.34 $37,187.84 $42,910.16
4 $42,910.16 42,910.16 * 18.75% = $8,045.66 $45,233.50 $34,766.50
5 $34,766.50 34,766.50 * 0.1875 = 6,518.72 $51,752.22 $28,247.78
6 $28,247.78 28,247.78 * 0.1875= $5,296.45 $57,048.67 $22,951.33
7 $22,951.33 22,951.33 * 0.1875= 4,403.37 $61,452.04 $18,547.96
8 $18,547.96 18,547.96 * 0.1875 = $3,477.74 $80,000 $0
$3,477.74 + 15,070.22= $18,574.96
Depreciation for the last year was not sufficient to take the truck to $0 so the remainder will be depreciated in that year so that it may be completely depreciated.
