Competition of different companies gives consumers a wider variety of products to choose from when buying. For example, if a rival company of a lawnmower company joins in, they would be contesting for consumers who are trying to buy a new lawnmower. This may lead to the companies trying to compete by offering different services, warranty, lower prices, etc.

The correct answer is letter "C": life is the total cost divided by the total annual depreciation.

Explanation:

The composite depreciation method uses the straight-line depreciation to rate and average the loss of value in given assets.

Kegler Bowling installs automatic scorekeeping equipment with an invoice cost of $190,000. The electrical work required for the

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550

Explanation:

The total recorded cost of the automatic equipment has to include the purchase cost and other additional associated costs that come with the equipment. This can be expressed as;

T=P+A

where;

T=total cost

P=purchase cost/invoice cost

A=additional costs(electrical work cost+delivery cost+sales tax+repair cost)

In our case;

T=unknown

P=$190,000

A=(20,000+4,000+13,700+1,850)=$39,550

replacing;

T=190,000+39,550=229,550

The total cost=$229,550

The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
