It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000

What is the future value of an investment?

The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.

The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=future value=$30,000

PV=initial investment=$15,000

r=rate of return=9%

N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)

$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N

$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N

2=1.09^N

take log of both sides

ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)

N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)

N=8.04 years

Texas Corporation is undergoing a complete liquidation and distributes land to Robert, one of its shareholders, in exchange fo

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

= - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

What is the bullwhip effect and how does it relate to lack of coordination in a supply chain?

rewona [7]

Answer:

The bullwhip effect happens when retailers or other members of the supply chain overestimate a sudden increase in demand, and this causes a chain reaction in all the other participants of the supply chain that start requesting higher quantities of goods or materials for production. E.g. the fidget spinner was a very popular fad and its producers probably didn't anticipate how large the demand would be. Once the product became extremely popular, everyone wanted to sell fidget spinners. This caused an increase in the order quantities of all the supply chain. Once the fad faded out, all this momentum stopped and many stores, distributors, wholesalers, and even factories were left with huge unsold stocks of fidget spinners.

When the supply chain is well coordinated, there is little chance for some retailers or distributors to over react and want more product just in case. If your supply is guaranteed, then it would take some extraordinary increase in demand to make you want to increase your purchase orders. But if your supply chain is not well coordinated, you might fear that you will lose a lot of sales and other competitors will make them. Then you get anxious and start ordering large quantities.
