A company that manufactures pulse doppler inser­tion flow meters uses the straight line method for book depreciation purposes. Newly-acquired equipment has a first cost of $170,000 with a 3-year life and $20,000 salvage value. Determine the depreciation charge and book value for year 2.

What will be an ideal response?


Depreciation charge is the same each year

D = (170,000 – 20,000)/3 = $50,000
BV2 = 170,000 – 2(50,000) = $70,000

A cosine x(t) and a sine signal y(t) of the same frequency are added to form a composite signal z(t). The signal z(t) is then sampled at exactly its Nyquist rate with the usual assumption that a sample occurs at time t = 0. Which of the two signals x(t) or y(t) would, if sampled by itself, produce exactly the same set of samples?
