You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The annual rate of return is 2.10%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Let us assume the annual rate of return be K

K is

= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1

= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1

= 2.10%

Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%

The same is to be considered

Alto Corporation sold two capital assets this year. The first sale resulted in a $13,000 capital gain, and the second sale resulted in a $41,000 capital loss. Alto was incorporated five years ago. Four years ago, Alto recognized $5,000 of net capital gain. Three years ago, Alto recognized $10,000 of net capital gain. Two years ago and last year, Alto recognized no net capital gains.

Required:
Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute Alto's tax refund from the carryback of its current year capital loss. Compute Alto's capital loss carryforward into next year.

Answers

Answer:

A. Tax refund $2,100

B. $18,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for Alto's tax refund from the carryback of its current year capital loss

Based on the information given we were told that Alto has the amount of $28,000 ( 13,000-41,000) as a net capital loss that is non deductible this year which means Alto can

carry the loss back 3 years in order for Alto to deduct against net capital gain in those 3years.

Secondly Alto can as well remove the amount of $10,000 capital loss that was carryback against capital gain 3 years ago in order to have the amount of $2,100 as tax refund which is calculated as ($10,000 × 21%)

B. Computation of Alto's capital loss carryforward into next year.

Alto’s capital loss carryforward = ($28,000 − $10,000).

Alto’s capital loss carryforward =$18,000

Therefore Alto’s capital loss carryforward will be $18,000

Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for payment of $1,225 15 months from today (456 days). They offer to sell it to you for $950. You have $950 in a bank time deposit which pays a 12% nominal rate with a daily (365 days a year) compounding, and you plan to leave the money in the bank unless you buy the note? Recommend action based on checking the decision in three ways:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.

Answers

Answer:

(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,

the future value of the note = $1,225

the future value of the time deposit = $950 x (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,103.62

the note has the highest future value

(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and

PV of note = $1,225 / (1 + 0.12/365)⁴⁵⁶ = $1,054.48 (I used the same interest rate than the time deposit)

present value of your time deposit = $950

the note has the highest present value

(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.

EAR of the note using the future value formula:

1,225 = 950 x (1 + r)¹°²⁵

(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = 1,225 / 950 = 1.2895

¹°²⁵√(1 + r)¹°²⁵ = ¹°²⁵√1.2895

1 + r = 1.2255

r = 0.2255 = 22.55%

EAR time deposit = (1 + 0.12/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 12.75%

the note's effective annual rate is higher

Katie, a single taxpayer, is a shareholder in Engineers One, a civil engineering company. This year, Katie’s share of net business income from Engineers One is $200,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Katie’s allocation of wages paid by Engineers One to its employees is $300,000 and her allocation of Engineers One’s qualified property is $150,000 (unadjusted basis of equipment, all purchased within past three years). Assume Katie has no other business income and no capital gains or qualified dividends. Her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $400,000.
Required:
A. Calculate Katie’s deduction for qualified business income.
B. Assume the same facts provided above, except Katie’s net business income from Engineers One is $400,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction), and her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $350,000.

Answers

Answer:

A) Katie's maximum deduction is $200,000 x 20% = $40,000

But we must check that her deduction meets 3 requirements:

cannot exceed 50% of her earned wages = $300,000 x 50% = $150,000 ✓ requirement metcannot exceed 25% of her earned wages + 2.5% of qualified property = ($300,000 x 25%) + ($150,000 x 2.5%) = $78,750 ✓ requirement metcannot exceed 20% of taxable income = $400,000 x 20% = $80,000 ✓ requirement met

B) Katie's maximum deduction is $400,000 x 20% = $80,000, but since her net business income is higher than her taxable income, she must calculate 20% x $350,000 (taxable income) = $70,000 (same as requirement 3 in previous answer)

On average, your firm sells $33,100 of items on credit each day. The average inventory period is 35 days and your operating cycle is 55 days. What is the average accounts receivable balance

Answers

Answer:

The average account receivable balance is $662,000

Explanation:

The computation of the average account receivable balance is shown below:

= Sells items on credit each day × (operating cycle - average inventory period)

= $33,100 × (55 days - 35 days )

= $33,100 × 20 days

= $662,000

hence, the average account receivable balance is $662,000. The same is to be considered

(b) Determine the factory overhead cost per unit for Products T and U, using the single plantwide factory overhead rate.
(c) Determine the activity rate for plant supervision and setup labor, assuming that the activity base for supervision is direct labor hours and the activity base for setup is number of setups.
(d) Determine the factory overhead cost per unit for Products T and U, using activity-based costing.
(e) Why is the factory overhead cost per unit different for the two products under the two methods?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Total factory overhead = $1,000,000

Total direct labor hours = 50,000

Rate per hour = $1,000,000/50,000

= $20

Number of labor hours, product T = 20,000

Factory overhead = 20,000 × $20 = $400,000

Number of labor hours, product U = 30,000

Factory overhead = 30,000 × $20 = $600,000

b. Product T, factory overhead = $400000

Units = 900

Per unit factory overhead = $400,000/900

= 444.44

Product T, factory overhead = $600000

Units = 1100

Per unit factory overhead = $600,000/1100

= 545.46

c. Supervision = $700,000

Direct labor hours = 50000

Supervision rate per hour = $700000/50000

= $14

Set up labor = $300,000

Number of setup = 400

Supervision rate per hour = $300000/400

= $750

d. For product T:

Plant Supervision = 20,000 × 14 = 280,000

Set-up labor = 200 × 750 = 150,000

Total cost = 430,000

Number of unit = 900

Factory overhead per unit = 430,000/900 = 477.8

For product U:

Plant Supervision = 30,000 × 14 = 420,000

Set-up labor = 200 × 750 = 150,000

Total cost = 570,000

Number of unit = 1100

Factory overhead per unit = 570,000/1100 = 518.2

e. For the first part, the factory overhead is being divided using direct labor hours.

For the second part, the factory overhead is being aportioned using activity based costing.

3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.
4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.

Answers

Answer:

1. Define a red ocean vs. a blue ocean strategy.

A red ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that is saturated with more or less similar products.

A blue ocean strategy occurs in a marketplace that does not have market saturation. Where there are no close substitute products.

2. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss whether you are in a red ocean or a blue ocean.

Action cameras are part of a red ocean strategy because the market for action cameras is saturated, with many competitors providing a similar product.

UAV drones are part of a blue ocean strategy because the product offers an unique service, and there are very few companies that provide this good.

3. Identify and discuss the blue ocean four actions framework.

The four actions are: raising quality standards to a new level, creating new quality standards, reducing some factors below quality standards, and eliminate some factors that are commonly used in the industry.

4. For one of the products in your business simulation (action cameras for UAV drones), discuss the components of a current value cure and a new value curve.

UAV Drones are part of the blue ocean strategy, and as a result, they have a new value curve. However, the market could become part of a red ocean strategy if enough competitors enter the market.

This is why UAV Drones producers should cotinually revise the four actions frameworks in order to develop the drones and keep the competitive advantage, and the blue ocean enviroment.

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

Beasley Industries' sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2019 to $6 million in 2020, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2019. Beasley is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities are $740,000, consisting of $160,000 of accounts payable, $450,000 of notes payable, and $130,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and its dividend payout ratio is 50%. Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
$
The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows:
Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows:
Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows:
Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales

Answers

Answer:

Using the AFN equation, forecast the additional funds Beasley will need for the coming year.

EFN = (A/S) x (Δ Sales) - (L/S) x (Δ Sales) - (PM x FS x (1-d))

A/S =  $3 / $5 = 0.6

ΔSales = $1,000,000

L/S =  $290 / $5,000 = 0.058 (notes payable are not included)

PM =  4%

FS = $6,000,000

1 - d =  0.5

EFN = (0.6 x $1,000,000) - (0.058 x $1,000,000) - (0.04 x $6,000,000 x 0.5) = $600,000 - $58,000 - $120,000 = $422,000

A. What level of sales could Mitchell have obtained if it had been operating at full capacity?

$1,600,000,000 / 0.7 = $2,285,714,286

B. What is Mitchell's Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?

$310,000,000 / $2,285,714,286 = 0.14

C. If Mitchell's sales increase by 60%, how large of an increase in fixed assets will the company need to meet its Target fixed assets/Sales ratio?

required level of fixed assets = 0.14 x ($1,600,000,000 x 1.6) = $358,400,000

increase in fixed assets = $358,400,000 - $310,000,000 = $48,400,000

Describe a scenario in which you thought you were making a good decision but there was still a negative outcome.

Answers

Answer:

I was trying to help out a friend by letting her know that her boyfriend was cheating on her but she didn't believe me and got mad at and we weren't friends.

Explanation:

This isn't a real scenario that happened to me but hope this helps.

A scenario in which I thought I was making a good decision but there was still a negative outcome was when:

I was trying to help a friend pay off a debtor who was beginning to turn violent and was a nuisance. Unfortunately, after helping my friend to settle his debts to avoid embarrassment, he refused to pay me back, up till date. That seriously strained our relationship

A good decision is one which a person makes, which seems reasonable and can help someone.

As a result of this, we can see that there can be negative outcomes sometimes, no matter the good decision which is made and the good intentions behind them.

Eaton Tires manufactures tires for dune buggies and has two different products, nubby tires and smooth tires. The company produces 5,000 nubby tires and 10,000 smooth tires each year and incurs $172,000 of overhead costs. The following information is available:
Activity Total Cost Cost Driver
Materials handling $60,000 Number of requisitions
Machine setups 55,000 Number of setups
Quality inspections 57,000 Number of inspections
For the nubby tires, the company has 400 requisitions, 200 setups, and 200 inspections. The smooth tires require 600 requisitions, 300 setups, and 400 inspections.
Determine the overhead rate for each activity.

Answers

Answer:

Materials handling= $60 per requisition

Machine setups= $110 per setup

Quality inspections= $95 per inspection

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Materials handling= 60,000/1,000= $60 per requisition

Machine setups= 55,000/500= $110 per setup

Quality inspections= 57,000/600= $95 per inspection

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.3 percent indefinitely. The company just paid a dividend of $3.26 and you feel that the required return on the stock is 10.5 percent. What is the price per share of the company's stock

Answers

Answer: $54.84

Explanation:

Here, the price per share will be calculated as per the constant growth formula :  Price = (Dividend x (1+growth rate)) ÷ (return rate - growth rate)

Dividend $3.26 , growth rate = 4.3%=0.043 , return rate = 0.105

[tex]\text{Price}=\dfrac{3.26\times(1+0.043)}{0.105-0.043}\\\\=\dfrac{3.26\times(1.043)}{0.062}\\\\=\dfrac{3.40018}{0.062}\approx\ \$54.84[/tex]

Hence, the price per share of the company's stock = $54.84

Sunnyside Marine Products began the year with 10 units of marine floats at a cost of $11 each. During the year, it made the following purchases: May 5, 30 unit at $16; July 16, 15 units at $19; and December 7, 20 units at $23. Assuming there are 25 units on hand at the end of the period, determine the cost of goods sold under (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) average-cost. Sunnyside uses the periodic approach.

Answers

Answer:

Sunnyside Marine Products

Determination of the Cost of Goods Sold under:

a) FIIFO:

= $780

(b) LIFO:

= $985

(c) Average-cost:

= $890

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date          Description             Units  Unit cost  Total

January 1  Beginning Inventory  10         $11        $110

May 5,       Purchase                   30        $16        480

July 16       Purchase                   15         $19       285

Dec. 7        Purchase                  20        $23       460

Dec. 31      Ending Inventory      25

Dec. 31      Total Units Sold        50                    $1,335

Average Cost = Total cost/Total inventory available

= $1,335/75

=$17.80

FIFO:Cost of goods sold = (10 * $11) + (30 * 16) + (10 * 19) = $780

LIFO: Cost of goods sold = (20 * $23) + (15 * $19)  + (15 * 16)= $985

Average-Cost: Cost of goods sold = 50 * $17.80

b) Average-cost uses the average cost of goods available for sale divided by the total units available for sale under the periodic inventory system.

FIFO is based on the assumption that the first goods sold are the ones bought first.  LIFO assumes that the first goods sold are the last ones bought.

The direct costs of manufacturing the goods that a company sells are referred to as COGS. The cost of the materials and labor directly employed to make the good is included in this figure.

Sunny side Marine Products

Determination of the Cost of Goods Sold under:

a) FIFO:= $780

(b) LIFO:= $985

(c) Average-cost:= $890

SOLUTION:-

a) Data and Calculations:-

Date          Description             Units  Unit cost  Total

January 1  Beginning Inventory  10         $11        $110

May 5,       Purchase                   30        $16        480

July 16       Purchase                   15         $19       285

Dec. 7       Purchase                  20        $23       460

Dec. 31     Ending Inventory      25

Dec. 31      Total Units Sold        50                    $1,335

Average Cost = Total cost/Total inventory available

= $1,335/75

=$17.80

FIFO:-Cost of goods sold = (10 * $11) + (30 * 16) + (10 * 19) = $780

LIFO:- Cost of goods sold = (20 * $23) + (15 * $19)  + (15 * 16)= $985

Average-Cost:- Cost of goods sold = 50 * $17.80

b) Average-cost uses the average cost of goods available for sale divided by the total units available for sale under the periodic inventory system.

FIFO is based on the assumption that the first goods sold are the ones bought first.  LIFO assumes that the first goods sold are the last ones bought.

Consider the following information for stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, each of the correlation coefficients is between 0 and 1.)


Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta
A 8.50% 16% 0.8
B 9.50 16 1.2
C 10.50 16 1.6

Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 6.5%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.)

Required:
a. What is the market risk premium?
b. What is the beta of Fund P?
c. What is the required return of Fund P?
d. Would you expect the standard deviation of Fund P to be less than 15%, equal to 15% or greater than 15%? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

a. $2.5

b. 1.20

c. 9.5%  

Explanation:

We can calculate the market risk premium and the required return according to the CAPM model by using the simple expected return formula given below. Average beta can be calculated by dividing the sum of all beta with the number of betas

(a) Computation of the market risk premium

According to the CAPM model

Expected Return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta (Risk premium )

8.50 = 6.5 + 0.8(Risk premium )

Risk Premium = (8.50 - 6.5) / 0.8

Risk Premium = $2.5

(b) Computation of the beta of Fund P.We have,

Average of beta = ( 0.8 + 1.2 + 1.6) / 3

Average of beta = 1.20

(c) Computation of the required return of Fund P

Required Return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta x Risk premium

Required Return = 6.5 + 1.20 (2.50 )

Required return = 9.5%  

 

(d) If the correlation coefficient of the portfolio shall be 1. In this situation, unsystematic risk can not be diversified. So, The standard deviation of the fund P is equal to 15%.  

If the correlation coefficient of the portfolio shall be a range of 0 to 1. In this situation, unsystematic risk can be a little bit diversified. So, The standard deviation of the fund P should be less than 15%.

Andreasen Corporation manufactures thermostats for office buildings. The following is the cost of each unit:

Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 7,500 thermostats at a price of $60 each. The regular price is $100. Andreasen has the capacity to produce the 7,500 additional units without affecting its current production of 100,000 units. Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2 per unit material cost. The labor cost of affixing the label will be the same as for the current models. The Simpson order will also require a one-time rental of packaging equipment for $20,000.

Minimum quantity to make it profitable = $30,000/$4 = 7,500 thermostats

However, this profit level is far below the normal production profit of 28% on sales revenue.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Materials $ 36.00

Labor 14.00

Variable overhead 4.00

Total variable cost = $54

Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00

Total $ 72.00

Selling price = $100

Special order = 7,500 thermostats

Price of special order = $60

Relevant costs of special order:

Materials               $ 36.00

Labor                         14.00

Variable overhead     4.00

Additional material = $2

Unit variable cost = $56

Total variable cost =   $420,000

Packaging equipment    20,000

Total relevant cost =  $440,000

Sales Revenue =       $450,000

Profit from special order = $10,000

is a specialty popcorn store. It offers two varieties of​ popcorn: plain and flavored. The flavors range from Caramel Popcorn to Dark Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn to White Cheddar Popcorn. The plain popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. The flavored popcorn sells for per box and costs per box to make. has fixed costs per month of . sells 1 box of plain popcorn for every 4 boxes of flavored popcorn. How many boxes of plain popcorn and how many boxes of flavored popcorn must sell each month to break​ even?

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question (see image):

first we must calculate the contribution margin:

plain popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $2 - $0.80 = $1.20

flavored popcorn = selling price - variable costs = $4 - $2.50 = $1.50

sales mix = 1 plain : 4 flavored

weighted contribution margin = [$1.20 + (4 x $1.50)] / 5 = $1.44

total fixed costs = $3,240

break even point in units = $3,240 / $1.44 = 2,250 units

the company must sell 2,250 x 1/5 = 450 plain popcorn boxes and 1,850 flavored popcorn boxes in order to break even

Headland Mining Company purchased land on February 1, 2020, at a cost of $1,169,500. It estimated that a total of 52,800 tons of mineral was available for mining. After it has removed all the natural resources, the company will be required to restore the property to its previous state because of strict environmental protection laws. It estimates the fair value of this restoration obligation at $96,300. It believes it will be able to sell the property afterwards for $107,000. It incurred developmental costs of $214,000 before it was able to do any mining. In 2020, resources removed totaled 26,400 tons. The company sold 19,360 tons. Compute the following information for 2020.
A) Per unit mineral cost.
B) Total material cost of December 31, 2020, inventory.
C) Total material cost in cost of goods sold at December 31, 2020.

Answers

Answer:

1. $26 per unit

2. $183,040

3. $503,360

Explanation:

1. Computation of per unit mineral cost

Per unit mineral cost=(1,169,500+96,300+214,000-107,000)/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=1,372,800/52,800

Per unit mineral cost=$26 per unit

Therefore the Per unit mineral cost will be $26 per unit

2. Computation of Total materials cost

Total materials cost= (26,400 tons-19,360 tons)*26

Total materials cost=7,040*26

Total materials cost=$183,040

Therefore the Total materials cost will be $183,040

3. Calculation for the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold= (19,360*26)

Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold =$503,360

Therefore the Total materials cost in Cost of goods sold will be $503,360

Robots on EarthRobots on Earthby Jerry WestExplosions. Car chases. A man and woman, drenched in sweat, limping from a building as it crumbles to the ground, muster the last of their strength to rescue humanity from its inevitable extinction at the cold, metal hands of humanoid creatures with artificial intelligence gone awry. For decades, books and movies have dictated how we think of robots. Simply the word "robot" can bring to mind images of evil, mechanical creatures bent on taking over the world and wiping out every glimmer of humanity. And yet, the truth of machines is dramatically different. Today's robots hold little in common with their villainous cousins from action-packed science fiction. Most robots have no interest in harming the human population at all; they exist to aid people in making life safer, healthier, and more productive.For example, jobs such as welding and painting are important to civilization as we know it, but experience has taught us that these activities can be hazardous to human health. In addition, fumes in automobile and airplane factories can harm organic bodies that become exposed to their toxins in the assembly process. Even when the best precautions are taken, workers may still suffer from lack of adequate ventilation. What is the answer to these difficult dilemmas? Robots. Because machines don't rely on clean air or comfortable temperatures, because they can function even in the midst of deadly gasses, they can take over with ease where humans would suffer greatly. Working together, humans and robots can get the job done.A robot's job isn't limited to the terrestrial level, either. Even in space, machines such as the R2 humanoid robot at the International Space Station complete dangerous tasks for astronauts, protecting them from potentially deadly situations. And then, when there are mundane but essential tasks to conduct on the space station, R2 takes care of those, as well, freeing up the astronauts' time for more important responsibilities. Thus, in space and on Earth, robots manage to create healthier, happier humans.In fact, there are robots on Earth that exist specifically to boost human health. Just as contact lenses enhance human sight, robotics can increase human mobility. People with disabilities and various forms of paralysis now have hope that they can achieve better range of motion, when before this wasn't possible. With the help of robots, scientists are working to create an exoskeleton that will attach itself to the outside of the human body, establishing a connection to the human brain. Neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis has a dream. "We are working with the Brazilian government, who is helping fund the project. At the 2014 soccer World Cup celebrations we hope to have a Brazilian teenager with quadriplegia walk out and make the opening kick."Explosions and car crashes may sell tickets for the summer blockbuster, but robots have so much more to offer, and much of it is positive service to humans. At the heart of the field of robotics is not the creation of people-destroying machines with evil artificial intelligence, but something much more useful. Robots aren't our enemies; instead, they are the valuable result of scientific endeavors to create safer lives for people everywhere.Write a summary of the article:Write a main idea sentence for each paragraph of the article.Put your main idea sentences together to create the first draft of your summary paragraph and include a topic sentence.Revise your draft to make it more concise, effective, and objective.Proofread your paragraph for complete sentences, proper punctuation, and correct spelling.Remember that the summary should be objective and should not include your opinions or experiences.thanks and brainleast A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.8 m/s hits a 6.0 m -wide patch of rough ice.
