Answer: c. Ten years, because maintenance costs don't increase.

Explanation:

With the maintenance costs constant at $24,000 a year, the machine is still expected to go 10 years before it's x-ray source is depleted and it has to be scrapped.

This means that the useful life is therefore 10 years because the maintenance cost will not increase but will still keep the machine going for 10 years.

Rory Company has a machine with a book value of $75,000 and a remaining five-year useful life. A new machine is available at a c
Alborosie

Answer: $7,500

Explanation:

In calculating the Incremental income we will add the amount of variable Manufacturing costs Rory Company will save as well as the income they will get from selling the old machine and then subtract the cost price of the new machine.

Starting off we will calculate the amount of savings they will make by using the new machine,

= $12,000 x 5 years

= $60,000

Calculating the Incremental income therefore we have,

= 60,000 + 60,000(from selling old machine) - 112,500 (cost of new machine)

= $7,500

The incremental income of buying the new machine is $7,500.

Why has America been referred to as " the land of opportunity"?
kozerog [31]

Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.

What are some of the major complexities encountered in developing cooperative strategies such as strategic alliances and joint v
____ [38]

Strategic alliances are generally meant to increase the business strength. Most of the cooperative strategies aim at drawing upon the individual strengths of partners to be more competitive as a single unified unit.

There are a lot of  challenges in getting cooperative strategies to work as envisaged during the planning phases. When corporate companies seek cooperation strategies, the hindsight which comes is that most of them compete against each other).

Hence, it is  natural that such companies will seek to fulfill their interests first before considering the interests of their partnerships. Then, some companies seek cooperative partnerships with partners who are already having other collaborators.

It  also follows that such cooperation lacks commitment. There is also a lack of detailing the operational structure by which operational strategy will be a great success.
