Answer:
Total FV= $1,828,910.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Amanda:
Annual deposit= $6,000
Number of periods= 40 years
Interest rate= 8%
Zelda:
Annual deposit= $6,000
Number of periods= 20 years
Interest rate= 8%
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Amanda:
FV= {6,000*[(1.08^40) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $1,554,339.11
Zelda:
FV= {6,000*[(1.08^20) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $274,571.79
Total FV= $1,828,910.9
Doug's Boat Shop, Inc. reports operating income of $260,000 and interest expense of $31,200. The average common stockholders' equity during the year was $50,000. The beginning assets balance is $115,000 and ending assets balance is $180,000. What is the leverage ratio
Answer:
2.95
Explanation:
Given that;
Beginning assets = $115,000
Ending assets = $180,000
Operating income = $260,000
Interest expense = $31,200
Average common stockholder equity = $50,000
Average total assets ;
= (Beginning assets + Ending assets) ÷ 2
= ($115,000 + $180,000) ÷ 2
= $147,500
Therefore,
Leverage ratio = Average total assets ÷ Average common stockholder equity
Leverage ratio = $147,500 ÷ $50,000
Leverage ratio = 2.95
Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-free securities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United States and a nominal annual rate of 3.5% in the United Kingdom. In the spot market, 1 pound 5 $1.29. a. What is the 90-day forward rate
Answer:
$1.55
Explanation:
Interest rate parity = (1+Rh) / (1+Rf) = F1 / S0
Rh = rate on home currency here US is home 3% p.a = 3%/4 = 0.75%
Rf= rate on foreign currency here Germany 3.5% p.a = 3.5%/4 = 0.875
F1 = Forward rate , S0= Spot market rate
So, (1+0.0075) / (1+0.00875) = F1 / 1.56
1.0075/1.00875 = F1 / 1.56
0.998761 = F1 / 1.56
F1 = 0.998761 * 1.56
F1 = 1.55806716
F1 = $1.55
Thus, the 90-day forward rate is $1.55

Suppose Alex and Becky are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Alex chooses Right and Becky chooses Right, Alex will receive a payoff of 5 and Becky will receive a payoff of 5.
Becky
Left Right
Alex Left 6, 6 6, 3
Right 4, 3 5, 5
The only dominant strategy in this game is for___ to choose_____ .
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows:
Alex chooses______ and Becky chooses_______ .
Answer:
The only dominant strategy in this game is for__Alex_ to choose__Right___ .
The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows:
Alex chooses__Right____ and Becky chooses__Left_____ .
Explanation:
The game theory of the Nash equilibrium achieves the optimal outcome of a game because Alex and Becky are not incentivized to deviate from their chosen strategies after considering the opponent's choice. Neither of these two players can increase their payoff by choosing an action different from their current strategic action. Thus, this action profile achieves a Nash equilibrium for the two players because there exists randomization in the game.

Abbott Landscaping purchased a tractor at a cost of $29,000 and sold it three years later for $15,700. Abbott recorded depreciation using the straight-line method, a five-year service life, and a $4,000 residual value. Tractors are included in the Equipment account.
Required:
Record the sale of equipment.
Answer:
Cash 15700 Dr
Accumulated depreciation 15000 Dr
Equipment - Tractor 29000 Cr
Gain on sale - Equipment 1700 Cr
Explanation:
The straight line method of depreciation charges a constant depreciation expense per year throughout the useful life of the asset. The formula for depreciation expense under this method is,
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual value) / Estimated useful life of the asset
Depreciation expense per year = (29000 - 4000) / 5 = $5000 per year
As the asset was sold after three years, the accumulated depreciation on the asset would be = 5000 * 3 = $15000
The NBV or carrying value of the asset will be = 29000 - 15000 = 14000
The gain on sale of equipment will be = 15700 - 14000 = $1700
Under the modern traditional theory, the sovereign may nationalize foreign-owned property only where: a. it is for a public purpose. b. the foreign firm that owned the property was operating it unprofitably. c. a communist government takes over the country. d. the foreign firm has continuously violated the laws of the host country.
Answer: a. it is for a public purpose.
Explanation:
According to the Modern Traditional theory on compensation which deals with the seizure of foreign-owned property by the government of the nation in which the property is located, the sovereign authorities may nationalize foreign-owned property if it is deemed to be for public use.
If the government has shown that nationalization is for the good of the nation, the theory espouses that it is allowed. They would however have to provide adequate compensation to those whom the property was seized from.

Barbara is a single taxpayer who had a 2020 adjusted gross income of $25,000 and contributed $4,000 to her traditional IRA. Assuming she has a $2,000 income tax liability for the year, what is her maximum retirement contribution savings credit
Answer:
$200
Explanation:
The retirement contribution savings credit is designed to benefit low and middle income tax payers that contribute to retirement accounts.
The maximum credit ranges from $200 to $1,000 per taxpayer.
Since Barbara earned below $32,500, she applies for this tax credit.
Since her AGI is over $21,251, she can only deduct 10% of the first $2,000 contributed to her IRA account = $2,000 x 10% = $200

A young college student was making a purchase at her local department store. The clerk suggested that she would get an additional 15% off the purchase price if she would sign up for a store credit card. Which of the following statements discusses how a personal finance expert might view this incentive?
a. Reports indicate that students are particularly vulnerable to these tactics. If you fail to pay off the balance, you end up paying much more than the original purchase price for your items.
b. An expert would advise you that the more credit cards you hold, the better your credit rating will be with the three major credit rating companies. Actuaries average the opinions of each credit card company to determine your score.
c. A personal finance expert would encourage her to take the incentive, particularly if interest rates on the card remain below 20%.
d. A personal finance expert would advise a college student to always take this incentive seriously because it is like trade credit for businesses
Answer: a. Reports indicate that students are particularly vulnerable to these tactics. If you fail to pay off the balance, you end up paying much more than the original purchase price for your items.
Explanation:
Even though financial advice is usually tailormade for the individual, a financial expert would most likely give this advice to a student because students are indeed vulnerable to such tactics.
They would be more prone to spend more in the store as a result of the credit card and this will lead to them being unable to pay off balances which will then lead to them paying much more than the original price they would have paid.
Melinda signs a three year contract for employment as a legal studies lecturer. Does this type of contract fall within the scope of the statute of frauds
Answer: Yes, because it is a contract whose terms prevent possible performance within one year
Explanation:
The Statute of Fraud mandates that certain contracts need to be written down. These contracts include the sale of land, amounts involving more than $500 and contracts that have a timeframe of over a year.
Melinda entered into a contract with terms that have to be fulfilled in more than a year. It is therefore under the Statute of Frauds.
Suppose that the market for painting services is perfectly competitive. Painting companies are identical; their long-run cost functions are given by: Market demand is: The long-run equilibrium price in this industry is $____. 173.5 162.5 194.5 155.5
Answer:
b. 162.5
Explanation:
Missing question "long-run cost functions are given by TC(Q)= 6Q^3-30Q^2+200Q"
TC(Q)= 6Q^3-30Q^2+200Q"
Marginal cost = 18Q^2 - 60Q + 200
Average Total Cost = 6Q^2 - 30Q + 200
ЭATC / ЭQ = 0
12Q - 30 = 0
Q = 2.5
ATC = 6Q^2 - 30Q + 200
ATC = 6*(2.5)^2 - 30(2.5) + 200
ATC = 37.5 - 75 + 200
ATC = 162.5
Thus, P = 162.5
A-One Auto Sales, Inc., employs Best Collection Company as a collection agent. While repossessing goods from Carl, one of A-One's customers, Best causes an accident in which Carl is injured. Carl can recover from
Answer: c. A-One or Best.
Explanation:
Best Collection Company are the ones who cause the accident and so they can be held liable and have to compensate Carl for injuries and harm caused.
Best however, was acting as an agent on behalf of A-One Auto Sales so A-One can be held liable as well for the incident. Carl can therefore also be compensated by A-One as well.
Carl cannot be compensated by both for the same incident as this amounts to double compensation but can be compensated by either one of them.

Answer:
c. dividends
Explanation:
not payable... so
Dividends are not an example of an expense.
What are dividends?
A dividend or dividends can be define as a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders. When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, it is able to pay a portion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Any amount not distributed is taken to be re-invested in the business which is called retained earnings.
The current year profit as well as the retained earnings of previous years are available for distribution and a corporation is usually prohibited from paying a dividend out of its capital. Distribution to shareholders may be in cash which is usually a deposit into a bank account or, if the corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issue of further shares or by share repurchase. In some cases, the distribution may be of assets.
The dividend received by a shareholder is income of the shareholder and may be subject to income tax. The tax treatment of this income varies considerably between jurisdictions.
The corporation does not receive a tax deduction for the dividends it pays.

Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $840,000, and its variable expenses are 75% of sales. If the company lost $34,000 last year, sales must have amounted to:
Answer:sales must have amounted to:$704,000
Explanation:
Contribution ratio = Sales ratio - Variable cost ratio
= 100%- 75%
=25%
Sales to break even = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio
Therefore,
Fixed expenses = Sales to break even x Contribution margin ratio
=$840,000 x 25%
=$210,000
Contribution margin can also be calculated as
Fixed expenses- Operating loss
=$210,000 -$34,000
=$176,000
Sales = Contribution margin/ Contribution ratio
= $176,000/25% =$704,000
Bateman Corporation sold an office building that it used in its business for $800,750. Bateman bought the building 10 years ago for $599,625 and has claimed $201,125 of depreciation expense. What is the amount and character of Bateman's gain or loss
Answer:
Bateman Corporation
a. The amount of the gain = $402,250.
b. The character of the gain is long-term capital gain.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Sale proceeds from office building = $800,750
Purchase cost of building = $599,625
Period of building before sale = 10 years
Depreciation claimed on building = $201,125
Net book value of building = $398,500 ($599,625 - $201,125)
Capital gain on sale of building = $402,250 ($800,750 - $398,500)
b) Bateman Corporation will record a capital gain of $402,250. This is the difference between the sale proceeds from the building and the net book value of the building after deducting the depreciation expenses claimed on the building. It is a long-term capital gain, which is taxed under the reduced rate.

A real estate agent would like to predict the selling price of a single-family house by predicting the price (in thousands of dollars) based on the square footage (in 100 square feet). Predict the price of a 3000 square foot house (in thousands of dollars).
Answer: 134.7088 (thousands of dollars)
Explanation:
This can be solved with a regression equation based on the details in the question.
y being the price of the house.
x as the independent variable is given as 3.8785
c as the intercept is given as 18.3538
The equation s;
y = 3.8785x + 18.3538
x will be 30 because the variables are based on 100 square feet so, 3,000/100 = 30
y = 3.8785 *(30) + 18.3538
= $134.7088 (thousands of dollars)
= $134,708.80
Suppose the economy starts off producing Natural Real GDP. Next, aggregate supply rises, ceteris paribus. As a result, the price level falls in the short run. In the long run, when the economy has moved back to producing Natural Real GDP, the price level will be Question 4 options:
Answer:
The price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.
Explanation:
In economics, natural gross domestic product (Natural Real GDP) can be described as the maximum level of real GDP that can be sustained by an economy over the long term. The Natural Real GDP is also known as the potential output.
From the question, since the economy has moved back to producing Natural Real GDP which is the maximum real GDP sustainable, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.
Therefore, the price level will be equal to what it was before there was a rise in the aggregate supply.
