Complete Question:

A concrete and rock crusher for demolition work has been purchased for ​$60,000​, and it has an estimated SV of ​$10,000 at the end of its​ five-year life. Engineers have estimated that the following units of production​ (in m3 of crushed​ material) will be contracted over the next five years.

End of year    Year 1    Year 2   Year 3   Year 4   Year 5

m3                  16,000  24,000  36,000  16,000   8,000

Using the units of production depreciation​ method, what is the depreciation allowance in year three ​, and what is the BV at the end of year ​two?

Answer:

a) Depreciation allowance in year three = $38,000

b) Book value at the end of year two = $40,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of Equipment = $60,000

Salvage Value = $10,000

Depreciable amount = $50,000 ($60,000 - $10,000)

Useful life = 5 years

Total production units over 5 years = 100,000m3

Depreciation rate = $50,000/100,000 = $0.50

Year           Calculations          Depreciation  Depreciation    Book value

                                                    Expense    Allowance

Year one = 16,000 * $0.50 =      $8,000       $8,000               $52,000

Year two = 24,000 * $0.50 =    $12,000    $20,000               $40,000

Year three = 36,000 * $0.50 = $18,000    $38,000                $22,000

Year four = 16,000 * $0.50 =     $8,000    $46,000                 $14,000

Year five = 8,000 * $0.50 =       $4,000    $50,000                 $10,000

If you invest P dollars and you want the investment to grow to A dollars in t years, the interest rate that must be earned if in
hoa [83]

Answer: 18.92%

Explanation:

The formula to find the compound amount :-

A=P(1+r)^t, where P is the Principal amount, r is the rate of interest and t is the time period.

Given : P= $1500

A = $6000

Time = 8 years

Then 6000=1500(1+r)^8

i.e. (1+r)^8=\dfrac{6000}{1500}=4

i

Taking natural log on both sides , we get

\Rightarrow\ 8\ln(1+r)=\ln(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \log(1+r)=\dfrac{\log4}{8}=\dfrac{1.38629436112}{8}=0.17328679514\\\\\Rightrarrow\ 1+r=e^{0.17328679514}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1+r=1.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=1.189207115-1=0.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r\approx0.1892\approx18.92\%

If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you $146. If not, you pay me $24. (Ac
Rainbow [258]

Answer: Expected value = $2.034

Explanation:

Total outcome = 52

Favorable Outcome = 8

Probability of drawing a card with a value of three or less = \frac{Favorable\ outcome}{Total\ outcome}

= \frac{8}{52}

=  \frac{2}{13}

Probability of drawing a card with a value of more than three = 1 -  \frac{2}{13}

=  \frac{11}{13}

Hence,

Expected value = 146 \times \frac{2}{13} + (-24) \times \frac{11}{13}

= 22.338 - 20.304

= $2.034

In what situations is top-down planning likely to be superior to bottom-up emergent strategy development
Marianna [84]

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

  • Both strategies aim to convey and process knowledge between and within the organization. The top-down approach for sub-categories to gain insights at the senior management level breaks down a system.
  • This is a great tool to help managers identify areas of improvement using quota and monthly matrix goals. There are flaws in this strategy, employees are not involved in the process and managers do not understand the full impact of the changes made.
  • Morality can be affected because this strategy is motivated by fear and encouragement. The bottom line is that in some cases it is more complex, although employees feel motivated to provide more authority and quality work. The information is processed to a minimum and communicated to management.
  • This may help in some areas because administrators may not fully understand the process. I should use the military as an example for a top down strategy.
  • It works on the battlefield when there is no time to discuss or motivate employees. Top down is used when there is a slight change in environmental factors.
