Answer:

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Explanation:

let Z be the annual minimum cash flow

The internal rate of approach can be used here, in other words, the rate of return at which capital outlay of $2000 is equal present values of future cash flows

In year 1, present value of cash =X/discount factor

year 1 PV=Z/(1+i)^1

year 2 PV=Z/(1+i)^2

year 3=Z/(1+i)^3

Hence,

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Solving for Z above would give the minimum annual cash flow that must be generated for the computer to worth the purchase

Assuming i, interest rate on financing is 12%=0.12

Z can be computed thus:

$2000=Z(1/(1+0.12)^1+(1/(1+0.12)^2+(1+0.12)^3)

$2000=Z*3.09497902

Z=$2000/3.09497902

Z=$646.21

Feeling "He who does the work of the King ought to be King," Pope Zacharias helped whom become King of the Franks in 751?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

(C) Pepin The Short

Explanation:

In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.

In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the <em>apparent</em> King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).

In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.

In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.

Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Skylark Enterprises

The cost recovery is $___41,024___, and the adjusted basis for the building is $__358,976___

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of retail store acquired = $500,000

Property acquisition date = June 1, 2016

Property disposal date = June 21, 2020

Length of use of property before disposal = 4 years and 21 days

Cost allocated to Land = $100,000

Cost allocated to Building = $400,000

Annual Depreciation expense = $10,256 ($400,000/39)

Cost recovery after 4 years = $41,024 ($10,256 * 4)

Adjusted basis for the building = $358,976 ($400,000 - $41,024)

b) The adjusted basis for the building is the cost of the building minus its accumulated depreciation for the number of years it has been in use.
