Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Bending followed by twisting and turning while lifting.

Explanation:

The main cause of back injuries at work id the improper use of lifting techniques. While carrying heavy objects, they must be lifted with the legs having the cores tighten, maintaining the object as near as possible to the body and keeping the natural curve of the back. To accomplish good lifting techniques, there must be security coaching regularly for employees to remember what is the appropriate procedure to follow to avoid health issues.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$30,000 and $360,000

Explanation:

The computation of the gain on the exchange is shown below:

= Cash received + fair value of the computer - undepreciated cost of existing computer

double declining

27530

13765

6882.5

3441.25

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 4 = $13,300 each year

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

( $55,060 - $1,860) / 7600 = 7

year 1 = 7 x 1400 = 9800

year 2 = 7 x 2700 = $18900

year 3 = 7 x 2300 = $16100

year 4 = 7 x 1200 = $8400

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/4 = 0.5

Year 1 = $55,060 x 0.5 = 27530

book value = $55,060 - 27530 = 27530

year 2 = 27530 x 0.5 = 13765

book value = 27530 - 13765 = 13765

year 3 = 13765 x 0.5 = 6882.50
