Bach Company paid $120,000 to purchase a machine on January 1, 2012. During 2014, a technological breakthrough resulted in the d

evelopment of a new machine that costs $150,000. The old machine costs $50,000 per year to operate, but the new machine could be operated for only $18,000 per year. The new machine, which will be available for delivery on January 1, 2015, has an expected useful life of four years. The old machine is more durable and is expected to have a remaining useful life of four years. The current market value of the old machine is $40,000. The expected salvage value of both machines is zero.
Required:
a.
Calculate the total avoidable costs in keeping the old machine and buy a new machine.



b. Should the machine be replaced?
Yes
No

Answer:

Explanation:

a) calculate the total avoidable cost in keeping the old machine and buy a new machine:

 PARTICULARS                                  KEEP OLD              BUY NEW

                                                             AMOUNT($)            AMOUNT($)

Opportuinty cost of buying                40,000

the old machine

Purchase price                                                                         150,000

Operating expenses

(50,000 × 4 years)                               200,000

Operating expenses

18,000 × 4 years)                                                                        72,000

TOTAL AVOIDABLE COST                  240,000                        222,000

b)Decision:

Since the cost of operating the new machine is lower,it should be replaced

A piece of solid Fe metal is put into an aqueous solution of Cu(NO3)2. Write the net ionic equation for any single-replacement r
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ---> Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

The ionic equation shows the actual reaction that took place. It excludes the spectator ions. Spectator ions are ions that do not really participate in the reaction even though they are present in the system.

For the reaction between iron and copper II nitrate, the molecular reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)----> Fe(NO3)2(aq) +Cu(s)

Ionically;

Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ---> Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

Transamination of an amino acid transfers an amine group to form an α‑keto acid and is catalyzed by transaminases. Some amino ac
iragen [17]

Answer:

Amino acids that fall under the first category are alanine, aspartate and glutamate. While amino acids that fall under the second category are glycine, valine, proline, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, serine, threonine, cysteine, asparagine, glutamine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, lysine, arginine and histidine

Explanation:

Alanine, a 3-carbon amino acid reacts with α-ketoglutarate, a 5-carbon ketoacid, to produce pyruvate, a 3-carbon compound which is one of the glycolytic products in aerobic respiration, and glutamate, a 5-carbon amino acid, with the aid of alanine transaminase (ALT). The amino group from alanine is transfered from the α-carbon of alanine to the α-carbon of the α-ketoglutarate.

Aspartate, a 4-carbon amino acid also reacts with α-ketoglutarate to form oxaloacetate, a 4-carbon ketoacid which is present as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and glutamate. The amino group transfer occurs between the α-carbon of aspartate and the α-carbon of α-ketoglutarate.

Unlike the presence of a ketoacid in the conversion of alanine and aspartate to their corresponding amino acids, glutamate conversion to α-ketoglutarate, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, involves no ketoacids as an amino group acceptor from glutamate. The amino group is freely released as an ammonium ion. The reaction involves the presence of a cofactor, NAD+ or NADP+, water (H2O) and glutamate dehygrogenase (GDH).

Other amino acids involve several metabolic steps to be converted into glycolytic or citric acid intermediates.

What are the pros of using steel?
lora16 [44]
There are many pros in using steel. Steel is tensile. It has a high strength to weight ratio which means it has high strength per unit mass. So no matter how large the overall structure is, the steel sections will be small and lightweight, unlike other building materials. Also, steel is very durable. Structural steel structures can withstand external pressures such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and cyclones.
