This one is tricky, only because you aren't sure if they are adding the percentage before you deposit 4,000 more, or after. Since both are annually.
But I would add 11,122.76 and 4,000 =15,122.76 add 12% which is 1814.73 making your total for the first year = 16,937.49.
Then assume it again, you add 4,000. That's 20,937.49
add 12% of 20,937.49 which is 2512.50 so that equals =23,449.99 by the end of year 2.
so add 4,000 again, that's 27,449.99
find 12% and add it to get =3294 add that to the total =30,743.99 by year 3.
(I'm sure they want you to round, which I keep doing with my decimals, but it'll probably go faster if you round ahead of time, but I'm trying to be accurate)
Keep going....
34,743.99 which 12% added is 4169 or a total of $38,912.99 by end of year 4.
add 4,000 to get =42,912.99 and 12% that's roughly a total of 48,063 rounded by the end of year 5.
52,063 at 12% 58,310 by year 6.
58,000 add 12% = 64,960 at end of year 7
68,960 add 12%= 77235 at year 8
81,235 add 12% =90,983 by year 9
94,983 add 12% =106,380 by year 10 (this is where you can assume that they'd want you to double it and it's be 20 years and 210,000. But in real math, the amount is increasing so much because it's 12% of the current balance)
123,626.56 year 11
142,942 by year 12
164,574 by year 13
188,803 by year 14
203, 939 by year 15
So you'd go over 210 by year 16.
Now again, this depends if they add the 12% before or after you deposit 4,000 each year. It also has to have an easier equation, but to be accurate I did it this way. I'm sure that they want you to do like x=years and you'd go 11,122.76+4,000 multiplied by 12% and then try different years to see the number you get until you'd come to 16.
Answer:
The information is not complete (we do not know the useful life of the propane model), but the difference in costs between one project and the other is two large. The NPV of the savings for the gas model almost pays for the initial investment, plus the present value of the costs of using the gas model are much lower for future equivalent projects, we can assume that replacing the propane furnace with the gas model is a good investment.
We cannot determine exactly by how much the actual worth of the costs of the gas model are lower than the costs of the propane model, but there is no doubt that they are much lower. The only way that the propane model would have lower actual costs would that its useful life is much longer.
Explanation:
use propane model use gas model
initial investment $0 $1,800
operating costs $800 $600
useful life 6 years 13 years
present value of the costs for first product life cycle:
$3,559 (6 years) $6,129 (13 years)
Since the useful lives of the alternatives are not the same, we must find a common denominator for the useful life of the alternatives. Here we have a problem because we are not given the information.
But we can assume that the useful life of a propane furnace is also 13 years:
use propane model use gas model
initial investment $2,200 $2,200
operating costs $800 $600
useful life 13 years 13 years
residual value $0 $500
present value of total costs per life cycle:
$8,190 $6,529
Now we need to determine the NPV of the money saved by using gas propane = -$140 (-$1,800, 9%, $200 saved during 12 periods and $700 received at last period), so basically the gas model almost pays for itself with the money it saves.
Answer:
Land = $ 61,950
Building = $ 227,150
Equipment = $ 82,600
Explanation:
Given the following fair values
Land = $ 70,800
Building = $259,600
Equipment = $ 94,400
Total cost (based on fair value) = 70,800 + 259,600 + 94,400
= $ 424,800
Cash payment given = $ 371,700
Using the proportion system to allocate the cost,
Cost of land = 
× 371700
= $ 61,950
Cost of building = 
× 371700
= $ 227,150
Cost of Equipment = 
× 371700
= $ 82,600
Therefore, the amounts to be recorded in the books for land, building and equipment are $ 61,950, $ 227,150 and $ 82,600 respectively.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. One, what goods and services will be produced? Two, how will the goods and services be produced? Three, who will receive the goods and services produced?
Explanation:
There are two questions in particular that summarize the reason for the economy:
• How do elections determine what, how and for whom goods and services are produced?
• At what point are choices made in pursuit of personal interest promoting social interest?
What, how and for whom?
Goods and services are the objects that people value and produce to meet their needs.
What? It determines the goods and services that are produced as well as the amount that is produced from each good and service.
How? Goods and services are produced using what economists call production factors.
The factors of production are the resources that companies use to produce goods and services. These factors fall into four categories:
• Earth
• Job
• Capital
