Answer:

a loss of $3,000

Explanation:

A company makes a gain on the disposal of an asset when the amount received from the disposal is higher than the net book value or carrying amount of the asset.

The netbook value of the asset is the difference between the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the asset. The accumulated depreciation is the total depreciation over the used life of the asset and the depreciation is the result of the cost less residual value divided by the estimated asset life.

In light of the above,

Annual depreciation = ($48,000 - $8,000)/8

= $5,000

Between January 1 2020 and December 31 2022 is 3 years,

Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2022

= 3 * $5,000

= $15,000

NBV at December 31, 2022

= $48,000 - $15,000

= $33,000

Gain/(loss) on disposal = $30,000 - $33,000

= ($3,000)

The company would record a loss of $3,000

when convicts are released from prison, they have no money, and there is a high rate of recidivism the released prisoners return
slava [35]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Recidivism can be defined as seen in the question as the tendency of an ex-convict to return to crime.

When a person returns from a sentence, he has nothing. No income, no job, etc. As a result of this, some ex-convicts are tempted into returning to the lifestyle that got them imprisoned in the first instance. Without a job,which is as a result of stigmatization of ex-convicts as never-do-well, there can't be income.

For this reason, the government should endeavor to give ex-convicts income support for a few months after their release from the prison. This will go a long way in helping the ex-convicts stay of crime and also help them plan towards a better life.

Cheers.

defon

Answer:

d) The answer is impossible to determine from the given information

Explanation:

One might think that the correct answer is the b) it rose. However, you should consider that the statement is comparing the lifestyle of humans 1000 years ago with modern standards of poverty. Which is not entirely correct, since 1000 years ago <u>antibiotics had not been discovered, nor had processes developed to purify water, much less invented means of transport such as train or cars</u>. It is possible that 1000 years ago, lacking these comforts wasn't an indicator of poverty as it is today, basically because at that time in history those things didn't exist.
