nd is taken in by an elderly couple, who provide him with food and shelter. After the snowplows have cleared the road, Daniel proceeds home. Daniel’s father, Fred, is most appreciative of the elderly couple’s action and promises to pay them $500. The elderly couple, in need of funds, accept Fred’s offer.

Answer:

Case summary:

D is a college alum gets trapped in a blizzard on his way home. He was furnished with nourishment and haven by an old couple and he returned home once the climate was clear. D's dad F guaranteed the couple to pay $500 recorded as a hard copy for their assistance and the couple acknowledged. In any case, as D and F had contrasts later, F denied paying that sum.  

Case investigation:  

Thought: Consideration is the advantage or worth got by the gathering for satisfaction of their guarantee. On the off chance that there is no thought, the agreement isn't enforceable. Following are the components of thought:  

  • Lawfully adequate worth: The thought ought to have some an incentive under the lawful arrangements.  
  • Dealt trade: The thought ought to give the chance to deal between the gatherings. It implies one gathering should return something of significant worth to the next gathering for execution of that party.  

For instance, an individual A guarantees B that he would pay $1,000 for driving him to chip away at that day. Here. An is paying $1,000 for B as an arrival for driving him to work (execution).  

A guarantees him to give him a vehicle as he was graduated. It isn't thought since B didn't vow to perform anything. It is only a present for B from A.  

Past Consideration: The guarantees which were made by a gathering for the presentation of activities in past by another gathering are unenforceable. As there is no anticipated trade component, it is no thought.

Right now, old couple gave haven to D. They neither guarantee D to give cover nor bartered that he ought to give them something to return.  

F guaranteed them to pay $500 as a demonstration of thankfulness for their assistance yet it is a present for their assistance in past. In this way, it isn't past thought.  

Consequently, the couple can't hold F at risk for making the installment for giving haven to his child.

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

Corporation includes $200,000 of $1 par common stock and $400,000 par of 6% cumulative preferred stock. The board of directors o
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2021 $18000.

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred stock is the stock that accumulates dividends when the dividends are partially or not paid at all in a certain year. The dividends must be paid in the future.

The common stock holders are paid after the preferred stockholders are paid.

The preferred stock dividend per year = 400000 * 0.06 = $24000 per year

As the cash dividends paid in 2019 and 2020 are $20000 each,

The dividend outstanding on preferred stocks for 2019 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

Similarly, the dividends outstanding on preferred stocks for 2020 is = 24000 - 20000 = $4000

The total dividends outstanding at start of 2021 = 4000 + 4000 = $8000

Preferred dividend for 2021 = 24000

Total dividend on preferred stock = 24000 + 8000 = $32000

The amount of dividends that common stock holders will receive in 2021 = 50000 - 32000 = $18000

Ray Bond sells handcrafted yard decorations at county fairs. The variable cost to make these is $20 each, and he sells them for
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

5 units

Explanation:

Breakeven point is the point or number of units sold that makes the cost equal with the revenue generated. In other words, it is the point in which the profit or loss made by an entity is 0.

Given;

Variable cost per unit = $20

Selling price per unit = $50

Fixed cost =  cost of rent = $150

Let the number of units to be sold be c

Total revenue = 50c

total cost = 20c + 150

To break even, total revenue =  total cost

20c + 150 = 50c

50c - 20c = 150

30c = 150

c = 5

Ray must sell 5 units to break even.
