Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, th

e van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.
Required:
Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

Answer:

(1) Straight-line.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:

Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

(1) Straight-line.

(2) Double-declining-balance.

(3) Activity-based.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

(1) Straight-line.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the delivery van = $32,000

Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)

Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)

Using equations (2), we have:

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600

Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if t
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of units possible in S are 4.

Explanation:

Given <em>S</em> is a set of complex number of the form a+bi where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are integers.

z\in S is a unit if w\in z exists such that zw=1.

To find:

Number of units possible = ?

Solution:

Given that:

zw = 1

Taking modulus both sides:

|zw| = |1|

Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.

i.e.

|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|

So,

|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}......... (1)

Let z=a+bi

Then modulus of z is   |z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Given that a and b are <em>integers</em>, so the equation (1) can be true only when |z| = |w| =1 (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:

(a = 1, b = 0) ,  (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)

So, the possible complex numbers can be:

1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i

Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

nalin [4]

Answer:

Competency-based pay helps to tie your company's culture directly to the success of the company. Increased transparency: Employees will better understand what they have the potential to earn with a competency-based pay system and what skills they need to acquire to reach the pay they desire.

slavikrds [6]

Labour Productivity is basically the worth of goods produced by each labour or collectively in an hour, This can be expressed in the formula below:

Labour Productivity per hour of work=\frac{Worth of Goods Produced}{Total Number of Labour Hours}

In order to find worth of goods we shall use below Formula:

Worth of Goods= Sale Price per Unit*Number of Units Sold

In given case there are 2 types of goods sold as below

1. Proper Garments

Worth of Goods Sold= $210*78 Garments

Worth of Goods Sold=$16380

2. Seconds

Worth of Goods Sold= $100*54

Worth of Goods Sold= $5400

Total Goods Sold= $5400+$16380

Total Worth of Goods=$21780

Total Hours Worked= No of Workers*Hours Worked each Worker

Total Hours Worked= 8*45

Total Hours Worked=360 Hours

Labour Productivity=\\ \frac{21780}{360}

Labour Productivity=$60.5 per Hour
