Scrat [10]

Answer:

correct option is b. $450,000

Explanation:

given data

capitalized software costs = $600,000

expected total sales = 10%

sale = 4 year

net realizable value = $480,000

Year 2 amortization is

Year 2 amortization = capitalized software costs ÷ total projected sale .......2

Year 2 amortization = \frac{600000}{4}  

Year 2 amortization = $150,000

so here

Year 2 net capitalized cost is = $600,000 - $150,000

Year 2 net capitalized cost is  $450000

so correct option is b. $450,000

Apply What You’ve Learned - Managing Credit Cards and ConsumerLoans
timama [110]

Answer:

1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?

  • No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.

All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.

2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?

I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900

Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.

The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

D. Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the most likely reason is that Kurt’s division is less risky than the other divisions. Just as the saying goes "the greater the risk, the greater the reward", the same goes for the opposite, the lower the risk that a division has to undertake the lower the percent for the required return.
