A company purchased a plant asset for $53,000. It has a salvage value of $3,000 and annual depreciation expense of $5,000. It calculates depreciation using the straight-line method. The balance of the company's Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of the current year after-adjusting entries is $15,000. What is the asset's remaining useful life

The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years

Explanation:

The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense through out the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life of the asset

Plugging in the values for depreciation expense per year, cost and salvage value, we can calculate the total expected life of the asset.

5000 = (53000 - 3000) / estimated useful life of the asset

estimated useful life of the asset = 50000 / 5000

estimated useful life of the asset = 10 years

As the accumulated depreciation  balance is of 15000, the depreciation for 15000/5000 = 3years has been charged.

The remaining useful life of the asset is = 10 - 3 = 7 years

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
