Acity starts a solid waste landfill during 2017. when the landfill was opened the city estimated that it would fill to capacity within 5 years and that the cost to cover the facility would be $1.5 million which will not be paid until the facility is closed. at the end of 2017, the facility was 20% full, and at the end of 2018 the facility was 45% full.

FULL QUESTION: A city starts a solid waste landfill during 2017. When the landfill was opened the city estimated that it would fill to capacity within 5 years and that the cost to cover the facility would be $1.5 million which will not be paid until the facility is closed. At the end of 2017, the facility was 20% full, and at the end of 2018 the facility was 45% full.

On government-wide financial statements, what is the appropriate amounts to present in the financial statements for 2018?

At the end of 2017, the facility was 20% full, that means 20% of $1,500,000 is gone as an expense. Therefore,

$1,500,000 × 20% = $300,000 Expense for 2017

At the end of 2018, the facility was 45% full, that means 45% of $1,500,000 is gone as an expense. Therefore,

$1,500,000 × 45% = $675,000

Liability at Year End of 2018

$675,000 liability at Year-End of 2018 - $300,000 Liability at Year-End 2017 = $375,000 Expense for 2018.

Expense will be $375,000 and liability will be $675,000.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
