Answer:
A. $29,000
B. $19,720
C. $69,000
$34,500
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($138,000 - $22,000) / 4 = $29,000
Unit of activity = Cost of asset - Salvage value) / Total working hours
= ($138,000 - $22,000) / 10000 = $11.6
$11.6 × 1700 = $19,720
Double declining method = Depreciation factor × net book value
Depreciation factor = 2 × (1/useful life)
2(1/4) = 0.5
0.5 × $138,000 = $69,000
Net book value = $138,000 - $69,000 = $69,000
Depreciationexpense for the second year = 0.5 × $69,000 = $34,500

Answer:
a. What is the MRP?
marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit
MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150
marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)
MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75
MRC = $100
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
Answer: a. $120,000
b. $6,000
c. Yes
Explanation:
a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.
If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.
That amount would be,
= $60,000 * 2
= $120,000
b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.
The amount saved therefore is,
= 120,000 * 5%
= $6,000
By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.
c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.
As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

D) the yield is always higher than bond yields.
Answer:
B) changes in common stock prices tend to be more closely related to changes in the cost of living than changes in bond prices.
Explanation:
An important basic characteristic of common stocks that makes them a suitable type of investment for the separate account of variable annuities is changes in common stock prices tend to be more closely related to changes in the cost of living than changes in bond prices.
Generally, common stocks are considered by financial experts or broker-dealers to be a suitable type of investment of variable annuities because the prices of common stocks in the market are not fixed and as such they are affected by economical changes such as inflation or recession.
