The correct option is A - 50%

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given data: </u>

Number of pretzels baked = 800

Time taken = 8 hours

New production = 1200 pretzels

<u>Thus, in order to calculate the productivity the following will be used: </u>

In 8 hours, number of pretzels baked = 800

SO hourly production = 100

If production is increased to 1200,

hourly production = 1200/8 = 150

So, change in productivity = (150-100) / 100 * 100 \%

= 50%

2017 $   21,750

<u>units-of-output method:</u>

2014 $ 108,750

2015 $   79,750

2016 $  58,000

2017  $   14,500

<u>dobule declining method</u>

2014  135,000  

2015  45,000  

2016  15,000  

2017  9,000  

Explanation:

<u>Straight line:</u>

(cost - salvage value) / useful life

(270,000 - 9,000)/3 = 87,000 per complete year

First year: from April 1st to December 31th

87,000 x 9/12 = 65,250

Second and third year are complete year thus, 87,000

fourth year: from Jan 1st to March 31th:

87,000 x 3/12 = 21,750

<u>units-of-output method:</u>

(cost - salvage value) / unit of output

261,000 / 18,000 = 14.5 per hour

We multiply each year hours by this rate

7,500 x 14.5 = 108,750

5,500x 14.5 =   79,750

4,000x 14.5 =   58,000

1,000 x 14.5 =   14,500

<em><u>double declining </u></em>

we multiply by twice the rate of of straight line:

1/3 x 2 = 2/3 we depreciate this amount of the carrying vbalue per year

Last year we adjust to obtain the residual value

Year   Beginning   Rate   Dep expense   Carrying value

2014     270,000     0.50     135,000     135,000  

2015     135,000     0.67     90,000     45,000  

2016     45,000     0.67     30,000     15,000  

2017     15,000                6,000      9,000

All of the following statements regarding convertible bonds are true except:_________.
postnew [5]

Answer: Holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion

Explanation:

A convertible bond is a debt security that yields the payment of interest, but can also be converted into equity shares or common stock that are predetermined.

The option that holders of convertible bonds can choose how many shares of stock to receive at conversion is wrong. This is because the number I shares that will be eventually converted will already have been fixed.

which one of the following is not a withdrawal option for a mutual fund owner, who has a minimum nav of $5,000?
vichka [17]

None of the Above. A mutual fund owner typically has access to a variety of withdrawal options, including direct deposit, check, and wire transfer.

However, the minimum NAV (net asset value) of the mutual fund must be considered when choosing a withdrawal option. If the minimum NAV of the mutual fund is $5,000, then none of the above options would be available.

Net asset value, or "NAV," of an investment company is the company's total assets minus its total liabilities. For example, if an investment company has securities and other assets worth $100 million and has liabilities of $10 million, the investment company's NAV will be $90 million.
