Homework Gamma Inc. bought new office furniture in the year 2002. The purchase cost was 57,617 dollars and in addition it had to spend 14,316 dollars for installation. The furniture has been in use since March 16th, 2002. Gamma forecasted that in 2017 the office furniture would have a net salvage value of $2500. Using the US Accelerated Depreciation Schedule, estimate the value of depreciation recorded in the accounting books in the year 2006 if the company decided to sell the furniture on May 10th (of 2006). (note: round your answer to the nearest cent and do not include spaces, currency signs, or commas)

The depreciation for 2006 will be $5,411 as per double declining balance method;

Explanation:

Cost of Furniture             $57,617

Installation cost               $14,316

Total cost                         $71,933

The asset purchased in 2002 and will have salvage value of $2,500 in 2017.It means useful life of furniture is 15 years

Depreciation in 1st year as per double decline method=($71,933/15)*2=$9,591

Depreciation in 2003=$62,342*(1/15)*2=$8,312

Depreciation in 2004=$62,342-$8,312=$54,029*1/15*2=$7,203

Depreciation in 2005=$54,029 -$7,203=$46,826*1/15*2=$6,243

Depreciation in 2006=$46,826-$6,243=$40,582*1/15*2=$5,411

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.
