Answer:

The gain recognized on the equipment is $6,550

Explanation:

A straight-line depreciation method distributes depreciation costs evenly throughout the useful life of the equipment, and depreciation per year using this method is calculated thus:

Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= (45,200 - 6,100) ÷ 4 = 39,100 ÷ 4 = $9,775

This means that each year, the machine depreciates by a value of $9,775.

Next, we are given that the machine was sold for $32,200 after two years, to determine if a profit or loss was made, we will calculate the expected residual value after two years, and find the difference between this value and the selling price. The residual value is calculated thus:

Residual value = Cost of equipment - (depreciation per year × number of years used)

Residual value = 45,200 - ( 9,775 × 2 )

Residual value = 45,200 - 19,550 = $25,650

Difference between residual value and selling price = 32,200 - 25,650 = $6,550 (profit was made since the selling price was higher than the value of the equipment)

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

It will take him 45 years

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of years it would take to accumulate $1,000,000 if there is a plan to save $500 per month at an interest rate of 5%.

To solve this, we use the following mathematical formula:

Future value of annuity = Annuity payment * {(1+r)^n - 1}/r

Where r is the monthly interest rate and n is the number of months it will take.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Since he earns 5% interest on savings, the actual monthly interest rate will be 5%/12 = 0.4167% = 0.004167

Annuity payment = monthly payment = $500

Future value of annuity = $1,000,000

We substitute these values into the equation:

1,000,000 = 500 * [(1+0.004167)^n - 1]/0.004167

8.334 = (1.004167)^n - 1

1+8.334 = (1.004167)^n

9.334 = (1.004167)^n

To get n, we simply take the log on both sides of the equation

Log 9.334= nLog 1.004167

n = Log9.334/Log1.004167

n = 537 months

Question asks to calculate in years

there are 12 months in a year. The number of years it will take will be 537/12 = 44.76 years and that’s approximately 45 years

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C, they analyze police reports about crimes reported by victims

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because is disregard hard crimes that conducted by blue-collar people (such as theft, store robbery, or even gang attacks).

Option B and D are wrong because 'Potential' victims do not always translate to actual victims, This will make the data that collected by the firm become misleading. They wouldn't find out the type of crimes that often happen in real life and wouldn't be able to design a proper solution for them.

Option C is the best choice from the available options. Even though it's not perfect. There are a lot of crimes that often goes unreported by the victims (such as domestic abuse)

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B. $165,000

This amount is made up of as follows:

Partially unsecured Liability = $25,000 ($125,000 - 100,000)

plus Unsecured with priority = $20,000

plus Totally Unsecured  = $120,000

Total = $165,000

Explanation:

a) The fully secured liability of $40,000 had secured assets worth $50,000, giving excess assets of $10,000.

b) The partially secured liability of $125,000 could only be secured with assets worth $100,000, leaving the balance of $25,000 as unsecured.

c) The Unsecured with priority equals $20,000

d) The completely unsecured without priority equals $120,000.

When (b) to (d) are summed, the total is $165,000.

e) The unsecured liabilities with priority will be paid before other all unsecured liabilities.  That is the only advantage they enjoy.  But, they can  only be settled after all reorganization expenses had been settled.
