Answer:

7%

Explanation:

Return on investment (ROI) is a very popular and simple profitability ratio used by financial and business analyst to test the profitability or otherwise of an investment. It is always calculated by dividing the net income by the Cost of Investment, expressed as a percentage.

ROI                            = (Net Income / Cost of Investment) x 100%

Net Income               = Capital gain + dividend received

Capital gain              =  Sales of stock - Cost of stock

                                 =  $104,000 - $100,000 = $4,000

Dividend                   =  $3,000

Net Income               =  $4,000 + $3,000        = $7,000

Cost of Investment   =  $100,000          

ROI                            =  ($7,000 / $100,000) x 100%

ROI                            =   (0.07) x 100%

ROI                            =   7%

Therefore, the return on investment of the Gamma stock is 7%.

Suppose that a decrease in the demand for goods and services pushes the economy into recession. What happens to the price level?
ohaa [14]
A decrease in aggregate demand causes the price level to fall. If the government takes no action to
counter this, then the actual price level will be below the price level that people expected.
Individuals will eventually correct their expectations of the price level. As they do so, prices and
wages will adjust accordingly, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right (down). For example
if wages are sticky, in light of the lower price level, firms and workers will eventually make bargains
for lower nominal wages. The reduction in wages lowers costs of production, so firms are willing to

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.

Explanation:

Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.

In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.

The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.
