Days above freezing and nights below −20 °C both occur in the winter. Spring and fall are variable, prone to extremes in temperature and unpredictable swings in conditions. Hot days above 30 °C have occurred as early as March or as late as October, although such events are unusual and brief. Annual precipitation averages around 940 millimetres. There are about 2130 hours of average sunshine
How does the maximum temperature in the late 1970s compare with the end of the 1980s? Hover for the answer: The maximum temperature in the late l970s was at its lowest point, while at the end of the decade had reached some of its highest levels of the 30-year period. 4. What could explain this? Hover for the answer: The late 1970s were associated with some of the coldest and most severe winter's in U.S. history.
(a) Comparing the January map with the July map, describe one region of the world that exhibits a large annual temperature range (the difference between the January and July average temperatures): Siberia. (b) What explains this large annual temperature range? Siberia is located near the eastern end of the world’s largest land mass (Asia) and blocked by mountain ranges from moderating oceanic influences. (c) Describe one region of the world that exhibits a small annual temperature range. The areas between the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer or equatorial belt.
A company has 2 employees. The company's total salaries for the month of January were $8,000. The federal income tax rate for both employees is 15%. The FICA–social security tax is 6.2% and the FICA–Medicare tax is 1.45%. Calculate the amount of employee taxes withheld and prepare the company's journal entry to accrue the January salaries expense and withholding of January taxes.
The machine is expected to produce 675,000 finished products during its eight-year life. Smith produced 70,000 units in 2012 and 110,000 units during 2013. Required: 1) Determine the amount of depreciation expense to be recorded on the machine for the years 2012 and 2013 under each of the following methods: | |2012 |2013 | |a) Straight-line method |$16,875 |$16,785 | |b) Units of production method
The net cash inflow and cash outflow are calculated using sales and production figures for the next 8 years. The unit cost from the first year is £0.89 which is the cost per mashing without depreciation and divided by 13,000 bottles. From this information provided, the cost will increase by 3.5% and also the selling price will increase by 4% every year (reference 4). These figures are based on the current rate inflation of 4% which is shown in appendix 9 The capital allowances are worked out on cased of 20% (Reference 5) and the annual investment allowance is £100,000 is available (Reference 6) in the first year which is restricted to £87,359. This figure is substrated from the acquisition giving a result of £332,641 which is the written down value.
After that time, the truck (with an expected life of eight years) will be returned to the lessor. Ace has an incremental borrowing rate of 6 percent. The lessor has an implicit annual interest rate of 8 percent built into the contract. Ace is aware of this implicit rate. The present value of a four-year annuity due of $10,000 at a 6 percent annual rate is $36,700.
Ft = 80 + 15t where F t = annual sales (000 bottles ) t = 0 corresponds to 1990 a. Indicate how much the sales are increasing or decreasing? Sales are increasing by 15,000 bottles per year b. Predict sales for the year 2006 using the equation? This is a manual problem!
There are only 2 seasons: summer from May to October and winter from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85 degree F and the average daytime winter temperature is 78 degree F. Temperatures at night are around 10 degree F. lower. According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chain should get slowly older and become tougher the farther they travel outside the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwestern most inhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeply tough. By contrast, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeastern most in the chain and probably still located over the hotspot -- the oldest bare rocks are less than 0.7 million years
According to the data collected from the latter half of the twentieth century, there is indeed a more pronounced warming of minimum temperatures than maximum temperatures. The minimum temperature of the Wabash Valley Watershed has reached an all-time high for the region, taking into account the entire recorded temperature history. The average annual minimum temperature reached the high of 44 degrees Fahrenheit in 1990, and highs at almost 43 degrees Fahrenheit for the 5-year span, and 42 degrees Fahrenheit for the 10-year
