Green Co. has a machine with a total cost of $70 million, and the machine is placed in service at the beginning of 2018. The machine is depreciated using the the sum-of-the-years'-digits method with 10-year useful life and $4 million in residual value. At the beginning of 202, Green decides to change to the straight-line method with 11-year useful life and $5.6 million in residual value.

Required: How much is the depreciation expense related to the machinein 2021? Please share the Calculation and Journal Entry recorded in 2021.

. A company purchased and installed a machine on January 1, 2012, at a total cost of $108,500. Straight-line depreciation was calculated based on the assumption of a seven-year life and no salvage value. The machine was disposed of on April 1, 2016. (25 Points)

a. Prepare the general journal entry to update depreciation to April 1, 2016.
b. Prepare the general journal entry to record the disposal of the machine under each of these three independent situations:
(1) The machine was sold for $45,000 cash.

Please explain your calculations so it is easier to understand, thank you.

You are evaluating a capital project for equipment with a total installed cost of $750,000. The equipment has an estimated life of 30 years, with an expected salvage value at the end of the project of $50,000. The project will be depreciated via simplified straight-line depreciation method. In addition, a working capital investment of $5,000 is required. The project replaces an old piece of equipment which is currently in service and is fully depreciated, but has an expected after-tax salvage value of $12,000. After replacing the old equipment, cash savings from decreased operating expenses are expected to amount of $200,000 per year. The firm;s marginal tax rate is 40 percent and the project cost of capital is 10%. What is the net present value of this project? Round to the nearest penny. Do not include a dollar sign in your answer.

I would really appreciate your help.

Write a Java program in Eclipse to calculate the total cost to enter into a waterpark for a family/group

Ticket rates are listed below

kids (Age 12 and under)=$ 12.50

Regular( Age between12 -55) =$ 18.25

Seniors (55 and above) = $15.00

Tax =7%

Your program should ask the user to enter the total number of members in their group.

User needs to enter the ages for all members. Write appropriate error messages for invalid entries.

An array should be used to store the ages of the family members.

Based on the age it has to calculate the cost of each member and calculate the total cost including tax.

Your program should display

The number of tickets for each type

And the total cost for the group

After display your program should repeat the process until the user wants to stop.

Your program must use

1. Array
2. Do while Loop
3. Constant variable
4. Atleast one method

Sample run of the program:

Welcome to our WATERPARK!!!

Please enter the number of members in your group.   7

Please enter the ages for each person in your group. 15 28 11 34 26 60 58

Please pay the total of $115.50 + 7% tax = $ 123.59

And pick up

1 Kid ticket

4 Regular tickets and

2 Senior tickets

Please Press a positive number for next customer, Negative number to end. 5
