The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $61,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $15,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $6,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use could be sold now for a salvage value of $20,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine

2. Calculation for What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine

Reduction in Operating costs9,000($15,000-$6,000)

Less: Depreciation expense$6000

Incremental net operating income$3,000

3. Calculation for What is the amount of the initial investment

Purchase cost$61,000

Less: Salvage value of old machine$20,000

Initial Investment$41,000

4. Calculation for What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine

Incremental net operating income3000

÷ Initial Investment41000

Simple rate of return7.3%

(3,000÷41,000)

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.

if it is for a job, then you should learn everything you can about the job, like what does it involve, what qualification is required and how you are the right person for that job. dress appropriately for the interview. get plenty of rest the night before. good luck!
