<span>Government regulations mandate production or testing requirements to ensure the quality and safety of products. This typically means specialized equipment is needed to produce the product, more employees are needed to perform quality control tests, and possibly higher quality raw materials must be used. The cost of producing the product increases with the higher quality materials, new equipment acquisition, and additional paid employee time. These added production costs are then passed on to the consumer in the final price of the product.</span>

irina1246 [14]
To solve: use the simple interest calculation.

interest earned over the life of the bond = (bond price)(coupon rate)(years)
= (2,000)(0.04)(20)
= $1,600

So after 20 years on a 4% coupon bond starting at $2,000 Muriel will earn $1,600 in interest.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$10,503.59

This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:

Fv = 18,000

Time = 9 years

PV= fv/(1 + i)^n

N = 9 X 12 = 108

I/y = 0.5%

PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108

= $10,503.59

Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59

A machine that cost $225,000 has an estimated residual value of $15,000 and an estimated useful life of 15,000 machine hours. Th
algol [13]

Answer:

$57,000

Explanation:

<u><em>Step 1 : Depreciation Rate</em></u>

Depreciation Rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Production

therefore,

Depreciation Rate = $14.00 per machine hour

<u><em>Step 2 : Depreciation expenses</em></u>

Depreciation expense = Depreciation Rate x Annual production

therefore

Year 1 = $42,000

Year 2 = $56,000

Year 3 = $70,000

Total    = $168,000

<em><u>Step 3 : Book Value</u></em>

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

                    = $225,000 - $168,000

                    = $57,000

Conclusion :

book value at the end of year 3 is $57,000
