Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Depreciation expense= $7,612.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $66,000

Salvage value= $5,100

Useful life= 8 years

<u>First, we need to determine the depreciation expense for the whole year. We will use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(66,000 - 5,100) / 8]

Annual depreciation= $15,225

<u>For 2020:</u>

Depreciation expense= (15,225/12)*6= $7,612.5

Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The benefits of a High Speed Rail in California:

It becomes a feasible alternative to air travel, because it can be either cheaper, or even faster, since passengers do not have to spend as much time on a train station as they do on an airport.
If demand is high enough, state highways can become less congested, because many people who would otherwise travel by car, would take a high speed train instead.
Because the trains are electric, they are likely to help reduce pollution.

The cons would be:

We cannot know for sure how many people would take the high speed trains. Demand could not be high enough to justify the cost.
The line would be very costly.
It could end up benefit only a small section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.

I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, as can be seen in most countries where high speed lines have been made between large cities. For example, in Spain, the line between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. The same would likely happen for a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now?

If demand projections are tenous, there is always the possiblity that the high speed line could not be profitable. However, this risk can be lowered if the line is made between highly populated cities.

Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative?

Yes, a high speed rail would be a project that could massively impact California. The benefits of its operation could outweight the cost.

In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project?

As I said before, the most important factor is to construct line between highly populated cities in order to reduce the risk of not having enough demand. It has been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that high speed lines that connect very populated regions, can be profitable.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. smart technology.

ExplanTation:

Smart technology, today it is sold in any type of electronic device, as well as a telephone, a computer, a TV, cooking utensils and household appliances in general.

This concept of intelligent technology, is justified mainly for the purpose of offering different electronic prototypes, a logical programming that reacts to stimuli that are attributed to its sensors. Something very similar to what occurs with a new brain that, in addition to receiving specific instigations, proceeds in an immediate way to generate the corresponding chords to the dictated call.

In this order of ideas, the electronic devices are endowed with sufficient capacity to understand messages such as, in the case of the cell phone or the television, the presence and use of this device by a person, as it proceeds to lower its performance by optimizing the energy that requires its operation.
