If you invest in just one and you lose out, you lose all your money but if you spread your money equally there's a better chance of making more

When you invest in more than one stock it gives a better chance of getting more money than you would have, if you only did one.

A machine costing $180,000 was purchased May 1. The machine should be obsolete after four years and, therefore, no longer useful

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Straight line depreciation expense

Year 1 = $27,500

Year 2, 3 ,4 = $41,250

Double declining method

Year 1: $60,000

Year 2: $60,000

Year 3: $30,000

Year 4: $15,000

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

( $180,000 - $15,000) / 4 = $41,250

Depreciation expense every year would be 41250 expect in year 1 when the machine was used for only 8 months.

To determine the deprecation expense in the 1st year, determine the monthly deprecation expense.

41250 / 12 = 3,437.50

Depreciation for 1 st year = 3,437.50 x 8 = $27,500

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

2 / 4 = 0.5

Depreciation expense in year one = 0.5 x $180,000 = $90,000

The same procedure for determining depreciation expense in year 1 under straight line depreciation would also be used here.

90,000 / 12 = $7,500

$7,500 x 8 = $60,000

Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $180,000 - $60,000 = $120,000

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.5 x $120,000 = $60,000

Book value at the beginning of year 3 = $120,000 - $60,000 = $60,000

Depreciation expense in year 3 = 0.5 x $60,000 = $30,000

Book value at the beginning of year 4 =$60,000 - $30,000 = $30,000

Depreciation expense in year 4 = 0.5 x $30,000 = $15,000

Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tick

erastova [34]

Full question:

In some states and localities, scalping is against the law although enforcement is spotty

A. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a weakly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets.

B. Using supply/demand analysis and words, demonstrate what a strongly enforced antiscalping law would likely do to the price of tickets

Answer and Explanation:

A. For the first scenario, a weakly enforced antiscalping law would still allow the resale of tickets as it is not enforced properly. Therefore it's effect on price would remain as though there were no laws restricting scalping( scalping: price increase created by artificial shortage and bulk resale of tickets) . See the attached diagram for the supply and demand curve and price increase as a result of a weak antiscalping law

B. For the second scenario, scalping has no effect on price as antiscalping laws are strong and therefore there is no scalping. Price remains the same and does not change.

In diagram A for first scenario price increases from p1 to p2 and quantity decreases from q1 to q2 to indicate increase in price and quantity decrease for shortage respectively. This shows the effect of scalping on the market with weak antiscalping laws

In diagram B, price and quantity remain the same to show strong antiscalping laws

Tara invests $2,500 today and another $1,500 a year from now. Her investments starting year 2 keeps increasing by $100 every yea

Neko [114]

Answer:

$61,175

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, we expected to solve for the future worth

The table of the cash flow is shows in the picture

We can find that by calculating the Future worth

Future Worth = {2,500 + 1,500(P/A 7%,10) 100 + (P/G 7%,10) } [F/P 7%, 20]

Future worth = { 2,500 + 1500(7.024) + 100(27.716)}

Future worth = $61,175

Technological advances are difficult to predict. One great advance can replace or substitute for existing products in a relative

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The answer is: 3) Printed media

Explanation:

This is already happening, cell phones and tablets have already replaced digital cameras, Netflix is replacing cable TV and sooner than later cell phones and tablets will replace printed media completely.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you bought a newspaper? I haven´t bought a newspaper in years but I can also guarantee that I read more news outlets today that ever before. I can read the New York Times, The Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, etc. all on my cellphone. Using my phone is cheaper and faster (and also more ecological) than buying a printed version. In a few years probably no newspaper will have a printed edition, not even magazines will be printed anymore.
