Straight-line DepreciationBook value is the value of an asset that a company uses to create its balance sheet.Some companies depreciate their assets using straight-line depreciation so that thevalue of the asset declines by a fixed amount each year. The amount of the declinedepends on the useful life that the company assigns to the asset. Suppose that acompany just purchased a fleet of new cars for its sales force at a cost of $31,500 percar. The company chooses to depreciate each vehicle using the straight-line methodover 7 years. This means that each car will depreciate by +31,500
7 = +4500 per year.(a) Write a linear function that expresses the book value V of each car as a functionof its age, x.(b) Graph the linear function.(c) What is the book value of each car after 3 years?(d) Interpret the slope.(e) When will the book value of each car be $9000?[Hint: Solve the equation V1x2 = 9000.]

- Use the information to answer the following questions. To calculate the risk premium on government bonds we use the formula. (1 + i) = (1 – p) (1 + i + x) + p(0) Where p is the probability that the bond does not pay at all (the bond issuer is bankrupt) and has a zero return, i is the nominal policy interest rate and x is the risk premium. a. If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, what is the rate of interest on the risky bond? (1) b.

Assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and has the disease costs the country $100,000. Also, assume that each immigrant who is allowed to enter the United States and does not have the disease will contribute $10,000 to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percent of all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S. government can choose to admit all immigrants, admit no immigrants, or test immigrants for the disease before determining whether they should be admitted. It costs T dollars to test a person for the disease, and the test result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative.
