I believe the answer is: A. Cars typically lose the most value in the first year after purchase
As the miles usage in cars increase, the quality of the machine tend to deteriorate, which would lead to the decrease in the cars' value. On top of that, the new model that given by car companies tend to possess better technology/design. On average, cars tend to lose 15 - 25 % in value during the first year.

Answer:
Over the life of the battery, the battery that is most cost-effective is:
The AA alkaline non rechargeable battery.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of times that NiCad batteries can be recharged (reused) = 100 times
Cost of a 4 pack of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $10.80
Recharging cost = $1 ($0.01 * 100)
Total cost of AA NiCad rechargeable batteries = $11.80
Cost per use = $0.12 ($11.80/100)
Cost of a 4 pack of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $3.69
Cost per use of AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries = $0.04 ($3.69/100)
b) The comparison and the resulting conclusions are based on the assumption that the non rechargeable and the rechargeable batteries enjoy equal useful life. Therefore, the AA alkaline non rechargeable batteries are also used 100 times.
Answer: Assembly Department
Explanation:
Missing part of question is attached below.
Cutting Department
Under the direct method, the Cutting Department is allocated $62,000 of the Janitorial cost and $126,750 of the Cafeteria cost for a total of:
= 62,000 + 126,750
= $188,750
Assembly department
Allocated $248,000 of the Janitorial cost and $42,450 of Cafeteria:
= 248,000 + 42,450
= $290,450
<em>Assembly Department is therefore the department that is allocated the most support department costs under the direct method. </em>
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
the percentage change in price using the midpoint method = {(P₂ - P₁) / [(P₂ + P₁)/2]} x 100
= {($6- $4) / [($6 + $4)/2]} x 100 = [$2 / ($10 / 2)] x 100 = ($2 / $5) x 100 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
The advantage of using the midpoint method for calculating percentage changes is that it doesn't matter if the change is positive or negative, e.g. it will yield the same result if the price increases or decreases in the same amounts.
