Answer:

4.25 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts, which is being compared. In this question we are considering the ratio of weight to time consumed.

At the age 0

Weight = 2 pound

At the age 4 months

Weight = 3.5 pound

Proportion of Change = Change in Weight / Change in time = (3.5 - 2) / (4-0) = 1.5 / 4 = 0.375 pound per month

Weight after 6 months = 2 + (6 x 0.375 pond per month )= 4.25 pound

Lorie is using long division to find the quotient of x^3 + 6x^2 + 5 and x^2 + x -1, as shown at the bottom of this question.
meriva

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 1) x³ + 6x² + 0x + 5 ( x + 5

           - (<u>x³ +   x²  -  x</u>)

                      5x² + x + 5

                    -(<u>5x² + 5x - 5)</u>

                             -4x + 10

Result : x+5+\frac{-4x+10}{(x^{2}+x-1)}

By the comparing the result with the Lorie's solution,

She made a mistake in the last step in which she combined the constant incorrectly.

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

A company purchased a delivery van for $28,000 with a salvage value of $3,000 on September 1, Year 1. It has an estimated useful
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Depreciation till December 31, Year 1 will be equal to 1,250$

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchasing Cost = 28,000$

Salvage Value = 3,000$

Total Depreciation:

Total Depreciation over 5 years (60 Months) = Purchasing Cost - Salvage Value

Total Depreciation over 5 years (60 Months) = 28,000 - 3,000

Total Depreciation over 5 years (60 Months) = 25,000$

Monthly Depreciation:

Using the unity method we have monthly depreciation by dividing the total depreciation by the total no. of months as below:

Total Depreciation over a single month =25,000/60

Total Depreciation over a single month = 416.67$ (Monthly Depreciation)

Depreciation till December 31, Year 1

As from September 1, Year 1 to December 31, Year 1, its been 3 months therefore total depreciation will be = 3 * Monthly Depreciation

Depreciation till December 31, Year 1 = 3 * 416.67

Depreciation till December 31, Year 1 = 1,250$
