Answer:

Option (b) $12,960

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost = $90,000

Salvage value = $3,600

Useful life = 120,000 miles

Number of miles driven in 2012 = 18,000

Number of miles driven in 2013 = 32,000

Now,

Using the straight line method of depreciation

Rate of annual depreciation = [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Useful life

= [ $90,000 - $3,600 ] ÷ 120,000

= $0.72 per mile

Therefore,

The depreciation expense for 2012

= Rate of annual depreciation × Number of miles driven in 2012

= $0.72 per mile × 18,000

= $12,960

Hence,

Option (b) $12,960

The impact of interest rate changes in the PV of $100 due in 20 years compared to the PV of $100 due in one year are:
kherson [118]

Answer: c. greater because interest rate changes have a greater impact on distant cash flows than near-term cash flows.

Explanation:

Interest rate changes have a greater impact on distant cashflows because those cashflows will be exposed to the interest rates for longer. This means that they will be subjected to more discounting than a cashflow that is due in one year which would be subject to only a single year of discounting.

For instance, assume the required rate of return for two investments is 10%. One investment yields $10,000 in 20 years and another yields $10,000 in 2 years .

The present value of both are:

= 10,000 / (1 + 10%)²⁰                                                  = 10,000 / ( 1 + 10%)²

= $1,486.43                                                                  = $8,264.46

<em>Notice the difference. The longer term investment was more exposed to interest rate effects. </em>

You are planning a graduation trip to Mexico. Other things the same, if the dollar appreciates relative to the peso, then
galben [10]

Hello there!

Answer:

Your answer is C). the dollar buys more pesos. Your hotel room in Mexico will require fewer dollars

Explanation:

The reason why answer choice "C" would be the correct answer is because American currency, USD, would get you a lot of pesos.

Lets give you the exact amount of exchange rate:

1 USD (U.S DOLLAR) = 18.98 PESO

You can see how much 1 U.S dollar could get you in the Mexican currency.

What this means is that the U.S dollar buys more pesos, in which is correct in answer choice "C" Since you could buy more pesos with the U.S dollar, you would only need to use fewer dollars because the exchange rate is so high. The U.S dollar would get you more money in Mexico. This is the reason why answer choice "C" would be correct.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

maturity

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the Tide Detergent "pods" product is in the maturity stage of the product life cycle. This stage is characterized by being the longest stage in the cycle and in which sales begin to decline because the product has reached the apex of the demand curve. Advertisement in this stage has little effect on sales for the product and instead the best option would be to make changes to the product in order to lower costs and thus increase more profits, which is what they have done by making the product easier and more affordable to transport
