Answer:

The parallel line would be y = -2/5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can first note that the new line would have the same slope since parallel lines share slope. To find that, we need to solve the first equation for y =.

2x + 5y = 15

5y = -2x + 15

y = -2/5 + 3

So, with a -2/5 slope, we now can find the intercept by using the point.

y = mx + b

2 = -2/5(-5) + b

2 = -2 + b

4 = b

Now with the slope and intercept found, we can model the equation.

y = -2/5x + 4

Answer:

option (a) $6,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Purchasing cost of the equipment = $82,000

Estimated life = 5 years

Salvage value = $4,000

Revised expected life = 8 years

Now,

Depreciation per year =

therefore,

The accumulated Depreciation at the beginning of year 4

= Annual depreciation × years passed

= 15,600 × 3

= $46,800

Thus,

The book value at the beginning of year 4

= Purchasing cost - Depreciation

= $82,000 - $46,800

= $35,200

Now,

The remaining life = Revised estimated life - Years passed

= 8 - 3

= 5 years

therefore,

Depreciation expense =

=

= $6,240

Hence,

The correct answer is option (a) $6,240
