The cost of an asset is $ 1 comma 050 comma 000​, and its residual value is $ 210 comma 000. Estimated useful life of the asset
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $420,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The cost of an asset is $1,050,000​, and its residual value is $210,000.

The estimated useful life of the asset is four years.

To calculate the depreciation expense using the double-declining balance, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Annual depreciation= 2*[(1,050,000 - 210,000)/4]

Annual depreciation= $420,000

Jane receives utility from days spent traveling on va- cation domestically (D) and days spent traveling on vacation in a foreign
sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A point on U=800 is (5, 16)

From BL:

400*F+100D =4000

400*5+100*16 =3600<4000

Therefore u = 800 affordable.

U= 1200

F = 1200/10D

If D = 20

F = 1200/200

=6

Now from BL:

400*6+100*20= 2400+2000=4400>4000

Not affordable.

Maximization:

L = 10DF+ʎ[100*D+400*F – 4000]

Differentiating wrt D and F:

dL/dD = 10F + ʎ*100

dL/dF = 10D +ʎ*400

equating to zero;                      

ʎ= -F/10

ʎ=-D/40

equating the two:

F/10=D/40

D = 4F

From BL:

400*F+100*D = 4000

400F+100*4F = 4000

800F = 4000

F = 5

D = 4*5=20
