the question is the formula use in calculating depreciation that is reducing balance method which is (1-n√s/c)×100/1 now we were asked to now make each of n,s,and c in the formula the subject of the formula please help me
why the final "/1"? It does nothing. So, ignoring it
Also, I don't see any initial subject. f maybe?
and is that (√s)/c or √(s/c) ?
To make "n" the subject of the formula:
1. Start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/100.
(1 - n√s/c) × 100/1 = 1
(1 - n√s/c) = 1/100
2. Divide both sides of the equation by (1/100).
(1 - n√s/c) ÷ (1/100) = (1/100) ÷ (1/100)
(1 - n√s/c) = 1
3. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
(1 - n√s/c) - 1 = 1 - 1
-n√s/c = 0
4. Multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to remove the negative sign.
(-1) × (-n√s/c) = 0 × (-1)
n√s/c = 0
5. Take the square of both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root.
(n√s/c)^2 = 0^2
ns/c = 0
Now, "n" is the subject of the formula.
To make "s" the subject of the formula:
1. Start by dividing both sides of the equation by n.
ns/c = 0
ns = 0 × c
ns = 0
2. Divide both sides of the equation by n.
ns/n = 0/n
s = 0
Now, "s" is the subject of the formula.
To make "c" the subject of the formula:
1. Start by multiplying both sides of the equation by s.
ns/c = 0
ns = 0 × c
2. Divide both sides of the equation by n.
ns/n = 0/n
s = 0
Now, "c" is the subject of the formula.
In the given formula, "n" represents the number of years, "s" represents the initial cost or value of the asset, and "c" represents the salvage value or residual value at the end of the asset's useful life.
