Answer:

12.93%

Explanation:

Given that the amount of 300 is invested for 3 years, while the amount of 100 is invested for 2 years and 100 is invested for 1 year.

also amount accumulated in three years = 800

Applying the formula to find the future value we get

300(1+r)^3 + 200(1+r)^2 + 100(1+r) = 800

which can be further simplified to

300r^3+1100r^2+1400r+600=800

where, r is the effective rate of interest which we have to find out

The above equation is cubic in r, so to solve this we can use equation solver. When we put this equation in equation solver we get

r = 0.12926

r ≅ 0.1293

Therefore,  effective rate of interest  = 12.93%

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is $83230

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Present worth of geometric series is shown below

= A *[1 - (1+g)^n /(1+i)^n] / (i-g)

Now,

The present  cost of worth from EOY 5 to EOY 13 at EOY 4 = 7000 *[1 - (1+0.12)^9 /(1+0.15)^9] / (0.15-0.12)

Thus,

= 7000 *[1 - (1.12)^9 /(1.15)^9] / (0.03)

Which is,

= 7000 * 7.0572647

= 49400.85

Now, The NPW of all costs = 35000 + 7000*(P/A,15%,4) + 49400.85*(P/F,15%,4)

= 35000 + 7000*2.854978 + 49400.85*0.571753

= 83229.93

Therefore the sound improvement better result in a net present worth profit of how much to negate the costs is $83229.93 or 83230

Note: EOY = End of year.

On January 3, 2014, Trusty Delivery Service purchased a truck at a cost of $90,000. Before placing the truck in service, Trusty
likoan [24]

Answer:

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 - 5 under:

  • the Straight-line method is $90,000.
  • the Units-of-production method is $90,000.
  • the Double-declining-balance method is $86,170.

Explanation:

The total cost of the asset is $90,000 + $3,000 + $1,500 + $4,500 = $99,000, since all the other costs were directly attributable cost and were necessary to bring the asset to usable form.

  • The painting is capitalized because it is the first time Trust Delivery would be using the asset, otherwise it would have been expended
  • Overhauling cost can be regarded as a separate asset, if we were provided with different useful lives - componentization.

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($99,000 - $9,000) / 5 years = $18,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for Years 1 to 5 is $18,000 x 5 years $90,000.

The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($99,000 - $9,000) / 100,000 miles x 22,500 miles = $20,250/year

Accumulated depreciation for the first four years is $20,250 x 4 years = $81,000.

At Year 5, depreciation = $90,000 / 100,000 miles x 10,000 miles = $9,000

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Years 1 - 4.

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 5, under this method, is $90,000 (addition of first four years and the Year 5).

The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/5years = 20%, then 20% multiplied by 2 to give 40%

At Year 1, 40% X $99,000 = $39,600

At Year 2, 40% X $59,400 ($99,000 - $39,600) = $23,760

At Year 3, 40% X $35,640 ($59,400 - $23,760) = $14,256

At Year 4, 40% X $21,384 ($35,640 - $14,256) = $8,554 approximately (the depreciation expense would stop at this stage since the amount falls below the residual value).

Accumulated depreciation expense for Years 1 to 4, under this method, is $86,170 (addition of all the yearly depreciation).

The evolutionary development of the species H. sapiens a. is determined solely by environmental factors b. is a Mendelian trait
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": is the result of both genetic and environmental factors.

Explanation:

There have been several studies about human evolution as a species. It is inevitable to relate this topic to the prominent findings of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) in his book "<em>On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life</em>" or simply known as the <em>Origin of species</em>. Mainly, Darwin sustained that, in general, <em>species' evolution happens thanks to environmental adaptations that are transmitted from one generation of a species to another in their genetics.</em>

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

It may be more expensive and time-consuming than using an intermediary

Explanation:

Direct selling makes it hard to reach new customers and also entails spending an extensive time in trying to convince prospective customers before sales is made. Sadly, in some situations, some prospects do not buy in on the intended product and thus, no sale is made and time wasted.
