Answer:
$4,750
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
where,
Original cost = $18,000 + $500 + $2,500 = $21,000
And, the other items would remain same
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would be equal to
= ($21,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)
= ($19,000) ÷ (4 years)
= $4,750
Answer:
The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.

Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
The ability to listen is essential to successful communication.
Listening does not only mean that you hear what others have to say. When you listen, you also understand the message they are trying to impart. This is to avoid confusion.
Once you've received and understood the message they are trying to express, then they were successful in communicating their thoughts with you.
