The current rates for an 80/20 mortgages are 4.15% for the first mortgages and 9.75% for the second mortgage. On a $200,000 30 y
olganol [36]

Answer: The actual rate of the mortgage is 5.27%.

Since we're taking two mortgages for a total of $200,000 for 30 years, we can find the actual rate of the mortgage by finding the weighted average of the two rates. The weights in this case will be the proportion of loan taken at each rate

We have

Rates       Weights      Rates * Weights

4.15            0.80     4.15 * 0.80 = 3.32

9.75             0.20    9.75 * 0.20 = 1.95      

Total                                             5.27%

Ivanhoe Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $77,980. The company estimated that the machine has a s
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Depreciation for

2017 = $2,540

2018 = $10,160

Explanation:

Provided, Total cost of the machine = $77,980

Estimated salvage value = $6,860

Therefore, value to be depreciated = $77,980 - $6,860 = $71,120

Total life of asset = 7 years

Depreciation for the year 2017 = October to December = 3 months

\frac{71,120}{7} \times \frac{3}{12} = $2,540

Depreciation for the year 2018 = \frac{71,120}{7} = $10,160

Under straight line method depreciation is fixed for each year, but in the given case in 2017 the asset is used only for 3 months, thus depreciation will be charged for 3 months only.

Final Answer

Depreciation for

2017 = $2,540

2018 = $10,160
