We can round 5.65 up to 6 and 3.4 down to 3.
3 * 6 = 18
now let's see how close our estimate is to the real answer
5.65 * 3.4 = 19.21
Our answer was pretty close to the real answer!
Hope I helped!

Answer:
option d is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
ANSWER: 24x^4 - 12x^3 + 26x^2 - 23x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2&1\\1&-4&1\\-2&-2&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-1%262%261%5C%5C1%26-4%261%5C%5C-2%26-2%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20)
Find the determinant
D = [(-1).(-4).1 + 2.1.(-2) + 1.1.(-2)] - [1.(-4).(-2) + (-1).1.(-2) + 2.1.1]
D = [4 - 4 - 2] - [8 + 2 + 2]
D = -10 - 12
D = -22
A = |D|/2
A = |-22|/2
A = 22/2
A = 11
There is no depreciation schedule provided along with your question.
Assuming that the question makes us of the <span>Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which provides that </span>the useful life for non-residential real property is 39 years. Depreciation is straight line using the mid-month convention.
The mid-month convention means that the month of acquisition is calculated as half month irrespective of the date of acquisition.
Given that <span>Richard purchased and placed in service an office building costing $753,000, including $134,000 for the land in August 2016, the depreciable part is only the building, hence the depreciable cost is given by:
$753,000 - $134,000 = $619,000
</span>
<span><span>The depreciation charge for each year of the estimated life of the building is given by:
$619,000 / 39 = $15,871.79
</span>The depreciable period in 2016 is 4.5 months (i.e. September, October, November and December with August treated as half month).
</span>Therefore, the <span>amount of depreciation Richard may claim in 2016 is</span> given by:
(4.5 / 12) x $15,871.79 = $5,951.92.
