Answer:

Leasing.

Explanation:

Find the present value of each and compare and choose the one with the lowest cost in present value terms.

<u>LEASE;</u>

Payments are in form of an annuity ;done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)

PMT = -30,000

N ;duration = 4

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = -$95,095.96

<u>BUY</u>

Initial cost; (already in present value terms) = -$80,000

Annual maintenance(is an annuity); done using financial calculator (TI BA II plus)

PMT = -10,000

N ;duration = 4

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = -$31,698.65

Add PV of salvage value;

PV = FV/ (1+r)^4

PV = 20,000 /(1.10^4)

= 20,000/ 1.4641

= $13,660.26911

Overall PV of BUYING = (-80,000 -31,698.65 + 13,660.26911) = -$98,038.38

Therefore, leasing is a better option since the overall present value of costs  is lower at $95,095.96 compared to that of buying at 98,038.38.

The Refining Department of​ SweetBeet, Inc. had​ 79,000 tons of sugar to account for in July. Of the​ 79,000 tons,​ 49,000 tons
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

79,000 tons

Explanation:

When you use the weighted average method for determining equivalent units, the total number of equivalent units = units completed and transferred out + equivalent units in ending inventory.

In this case, since the materials are added at the beginning of the production process, all the units are 100% complete regarding direct materials.

Which of the following is true of water budgets?
zysi [14]

Answer:

B. In the winter, when water use is low, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration

Explanation:

A water budget can be seen as the relationship between the inflow and outflow of water through a specified region.  It gives a general Idea of the relationship between the demand and supply of water in that region.

Evapotransipration is the loss of water from the soil through evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants, while precipitation refers to  rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

During winters due to the cold temperatures, the rate of water loss from the soil and from plants is much lower than the amount of precipitation which is on form of snow.

Snow covers most of the soil, freezing the soil water at the surface of the soil, making it difficult for evapotranspiration to occur. In addition to that, most deciduous trees shed their leaves during this period further reducing the total amount of transpiration in that region.

This makes option B correct
