Answer:
You would need $14,382.21 to maintain your purchasing power.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You would like to retire in 30 years. The expected rate of inflation is 2% per year. You currently have a standard of living that requires $7940 of monthly expenses.
<u>The inflation rate has the same intrinsic behavior as an investment with a compounded interest rate.</u>
<u></u>
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 7,940*(1.02^30)
FV= $14,382.21
You would need $14,382.21 to maintain your purchasing power.

Answer:
c) $25,000
Explanation:
A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's  <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>
<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm.
</u>
<u>
</u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.
Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000
In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend of the Oil stock to shareholders of record on February 1, 20X6, payable on February 15, 20X6. During 20X6, the Oil stock had the following market values:  
January 15
$25,000
February 1
26,000
February 15
24,000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
It will take 2.72 years and 32.64 months.
Explanation:
Future value is the sum of principal amount and compounded interest amount invested on a specific rate for a specific period of time.
Use following formula to calculate the time period.
FV = PV x ( 1+ r )^n
FV = Future value = $6,000
PV = Present Value =  $4,000
r = rate of interest = 15% yearly = 15% / 12 = 1.25%
n = time period = ?
$6,000 = $4,000 x ( 1 + 1.25% )^n
$6,000 = $4,000 x ( 1.0125 )^n
$6,000 / $4,000 = ( 1.0125 )^n
1.5 = ( 1.0125 )^n
Log 1.5 = n log 1.0125
n = Log 1.5 / log 1.0125
n = 32.64 months
n = 2.72 years
