Answer: beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.
(the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life
(beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.
Explanation:
Depreciation is simply when an asset begin to wear and tear and thereby its value is reduced.Straight line depreciation is calculated when the difference between the cost of an asset and the expected salvage value is divided by the number of years it is projected to be used.
Using this method, the annual average investment can be calculated as:
• beg book value +the salvage value) / 2.
• (the sum of annual average book values) ÷ asset’s life
• (beg book value +the end book value) ÷ 2.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The simple rate of return is 37.5%
Explanation:
Simple rate of return is the percentage of return on investment that takes the net annual return cash flow of an investment and compare with initial capital of the investment. It is calculated with this formula:
 <u>Total annual return - Depreciation expense</u>
                 Initial capital outlay
For farmer Joe, the simple rate of return is:
<u>$20,000 + $25,000 + $30,0000 -$0</u>     x   100
                     $200,000
=   <u>$75,000</u>  x 100
    $200,000
= 37.5%
Depreciation expense is assumed to be zero.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
25,670.80€
Explanation:
this is an ordinary annuity since the first payment occurs one year from now. The present value of an ordinary annuity is given by the following formula:
present value = annual distribution x PV annuity factor
- annual distribution =4,000
- PV annuity factor, 9%, 10 periods = 6.4177
present value = 4,000 x 6.4177 = 25,670.80€
