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.

 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

Kombucha is a Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), similar to mother of vinegar, containing one or more specie each of bacteria and yeast which is added to sweet tea, which jump start two processes take place. First, alcoholic fermentation during which the yeast convert sugars to alcohol under controlled conditions. After that, the bacteria converts most of this alcohol into acetic, gluconic and glucoronic and other organic acids. during both of this processes, the yeast and bacteria, feast and multiply, yielding an end beverage that is rich in variety of micro organisms and healthy acids. Source: Health-Ade.com/blog/blog/what-is-fermentation

the products formed is more rich than those of the fermentation of grapes because it is a symbiotic fermentation of yeast and bacteria

Explanation:

Kombucha is fermented slightly alcoholic, lightly effervescent sweetend black or green tea, commonly consumed for its health benefits sometimes the beverage is called kombucha tea to distinguish it from the cultures of bacteria and yeast.

During an experiment, it is observed that iron powder sinks in water and sulfur powder floats in water. What will most likely be
lutik1710 [3]

Sulfur will float, and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.

“Iron will float, and sulfur will sink because each will lose its properties” is <em>incorrect</em>. A substance will lose its properties only if it reacts to form a new substance.

“Both will float because they are physically mixed” is <em>incorrect</em>. The substances in a mixture retain their properties.

“Both will float because they react chemically” is <em>incorrect</em>. Iron and sulfur do not react at room temperature. Even if they did, the iron sulfide would sink.
