Number on an athlete's jersey,

Gender,

Ice cream flavor

QUANTITATIVE VARIABLES: Items include;

Explanation:

Time to run a marathon, height, size of flat–screen television, hours spent studying core, and calories in desserts are quantitative variables.

Shoe color, number on an athlete’s jersey, gender, and ice cream flavor are categorical/qualitative variables and need to be transformed into dummy variables. Note that although athlete’s jerseys have numbers, those values cannot be interpreted as real numbers.

Which of the following statements is true?a. Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no eff
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV.

Explanation:

Accelerated depreciation is a form of accounting and taxation used in the first years of an asset to allow greater deductions. On the other hand, the deductions are distributed evenly throughout the life of the asset using the Straight-line Depreciation method. Accelerated depreciation facilitates higher expenses to be incurred during the first years of an asset while in use, and lower expenses years later, as long as the asset depreciates.

In that sense, when it comes to the total projected cash flow of a company on a project, neither the accelerated depreciation or the straight-line method would affect it but both of them have impact on the timing of the cash flows since accelerated depreciation demands higher expenses since the beginning of the possession of the assets while the straight-line method keeps the expenses steady. Both, also affect the net present value (NPV) of the company since with the accelerated depreciation the cash flow will be less and with the straight-line method it should be constant.
