A subsidiary has plant assets with a fair value of $100 million and book value of $60 million at the date of acquisition. The plant assets have a remaining life, as of the date of acquisition, of 20 years, straight-line. You are consolidating the accounts at the end of the third year since acquisition, and the subsidiary still owns the plant assets. The amounts for eliminating entry (R) and (O) are (respectively):

a-$40 million and $4 million
b- $36 million and $2 million
c-$34 million and $0
d - $32 million and $5 million

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
