Answer:
$1,500
Explanation:
Given the compounding formula 
And given an investment (P), made at 16% compounded annually (r), and an ending amount of $1,740 (A) at the end of the year (n = 1 year), the original amount invested (P) can be computed as follows.


= P = 1,740/1.16 = 1,500.
Therefore, the original investment was $1,500.
Answer:
The answer is $1,402,000
Explanation:
Cost of an asset is the total cost of acquiring and asset plus the cost incurred in bringing the asset to a working condition e.g cost of transporting the asset to factory, cost of installation etc.
Cost of the machine is:
Cost of acquisition $4,000,000
Cost of installation. $10,000
Building a clean room. $3,000,000
Total cost is. $7,010,000
No salvage value
Useful life is 5 years
Cost of depreciation using the straight-line method is
(cost of the asset - salvage value) ÷ number of useful life
$7,010,000 ÷ 5
= $1,402,000
