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

How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?
ZanzabumX [31]

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.

A total of 25.0 mL of 0.150 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) was required to neutralize 15.0 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) of unknown c
Kamila [148]
We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:

KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄

If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:

0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH

0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄

We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:

0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L

The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.

maksim [4K]

Answer:-

b. compound b will show an nh absorption while compound a will not.

Explanation:-

For compound B CH3CH2CH2NH2 there are two N-H bonds present. So it will show NH absorption.

But in compound A CH3CH2CH2N(CH3)2 there are no N-H bonds. So it will not show NH absorption.
