Acompany used straight-line depreciation for an item of equipment that cost $16,950, had a salvage value of $4,200 and a six-year useful life. after depreciating the asset for three complete years, the salvage value was reduced to $1,695 but its total useful life remained the same. determine the amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life:

$2,960

Explanation:

Cost = $16,950

Salvage value =$4,200

Useful life = 6 years

Annual depreciation = ($16,950 - $4,200)/6

                                  = $12,750 /6

                                  = $2,125

Revised salvage value after 3 years = $1,695

Carrying amount of the asset after 3 years = $16,950 - (3 × $2,125)

                                                                       = $16,950 - $6,375

                                                                       = $10,575

Charge for the year after revision

= ($10,575  - $1,695)/3

= $8,880/3

= $2,960

Amount of depreciation to be charged against the equipment during each of the remaining years of its useful life is $2,960

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
