Chubbyville purchases a delivery van for $24,100. Chubbyville estimates a four-year service life and a residual value of $1,900. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 104,000 miles. 1. Straight-line. 2. Double-declining-balance. (Round your depreciation rate to 2 decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) 3. Actual miles driven each year were 24,000 miles in Year 1; 32,000 miles in Year 2; 22,000 miles in Year 3; and 24,000 miles in Year 4. Note that actual total miles of 102,000 fall short of expectations by 2,000 miles. Calculate annual depreciation for the four-year life of the van using activity-based. (Round your depreciation rate to 2 decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

In an isolated village (no trade with the outside world) in which good harvests alternate with bad harvests from year to year, the only crop is wheat. This year the harvest will be 2,000 tons and next year it will be 300 tons. Wheat can be stored, but rats will eat 20% of what is stored in a year. The villagers have the Cobb-Douglas utility function ?(?#, ?$) = ?#?$, where ?# is consumption this year and ?$ is consumption next year.
a. (7 points) What is the budget constraint? Draw the budget constraint on a graph with this year’s consumption on the horizontal axis and next year’s consumption on the vertical axis. On your graph show the quantities at which the budget line intercepts the vertical and horizontal axes.

b. (8 points) How much will the villagers consume in each year? How much wheat will the rats eat? (Hint: You can solve this problem using the Lagrangian function.)

The Hazim Company is a wholesale distributor of automotive replacement parts. For purposes of

this question, assume on January 1, year 3, Hazim Co. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of

determining inventory costs for financial and income-tax reporting. The following information relates

to this change:

Hazim has continued  to use the FIFO method for internal reporting purposes. Hazim's FIFO

inventories at December 31, Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5, were $100,000, $137,500, and $195,000,

respectively.

The FIFO inventory amounts are converted to dollar-value LIFO amounts using a single inventory

pool and annual cost indexes. Hazim uses the annual indexes developed by its industry trade

association: 1.25 for year 4 and 1.50 for year 5.

Calculate Hazim's dollar-value LIFO inventory at December 31, Year 4 and Year 5. Show all
