(Depreciation choice) In the United States the accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) must be used for depreciation of assets placed into service after December 1980. In this system, assets are classified into categories specifying the effective tax life. The classification of "3-year property," for example, includes automobiles, tractors for hauling highway trailers, light trucks, and certain manufacturing tools. The percentages of the cost for 3-year property that can be deducted for each of the first 3 years after purchase (including the year of purchase) are 25%, 38%, and 37%, respectively. Which of these methods is preferred by an individual who wishes to maximize the present value of depreciation? How does the choice depend on the assumed rate of interest?

step-by-step explanation:

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
