Answer:

Gross pay is the total amount of money an employee is entitled to at the end of a working period while Net pay is the money an employee gets at the end of a working period after all necessary deductions must have been done.

Explanation:

Gross pay of two emloyees might be the same without having the same net pay because the deductions made from the gross pay to arrive at their net pay may be different. deductions such as pension, housing allowances, car allowances, transport allowances vary across employees and this might lead to the discrepancy.

Answer:

The present worth of this investment = -$31,204.78

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the present worth of this investment (in bold red color).

In the attached excel file, the following are used:

Loan from bank = Purchase price * (1 / 4) = $130,000 * (1 / 4) = $32,500

Initial cost = Purchase price - Loan from bank = $130,000 - $32,500 = $97,500

The annual required equal loan payments is calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:

P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1 + r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)

Where,

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ?

A = Loan amount from bank = $32,500

r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12

n = number of payment years = 3

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = Annual required equal loan payment = ($32,500 * (0.12 * (1 + 0.12)^3)) / (((1 + 0.12)^3) - 1) = $13,531.34

From the attached excl file, the present worth of this investment is equal to -$31,204.78

1. Famous celebrities and the super-wealthy oftentimes pay others to do many of their household tasks for them. For example, the

poizon [28]

Explanation:

1) Famous celebrities and the people with lots of money are often seen with workers round them for their household chores/tasks. Although they are paying money for the work they could have done by themselves but if we analyze closely, they are actually taking advantage of the opportunity cost. The time when they were suppose to do the household work, now they are performing other task in that time which will be giving them much greater economic benefit, taking advantage of the concept of opportunity cost. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can focus on his workout and daily exercise instead of making daily meals for himself, so he should have hired someone to do the meal work for him while he perform his workout which will help him on the field and will earn him much money.

2) Yes, it is possible for 2 countries to benefit from trade as a whole because they can get into an agreement by allowing free trade between the countries, for example, both the countries could agree that all the trade which will be executed between them would be tax free and no duties will be paid on them. This way the trade numbers would increase and industrialization would take place to meet the export/import orders. On the contrary, trading individually can be not so beneficial because there will be no free trade agreements between individuals i.e. no free lunches, that is why it could cost individuals much more than they can make money out of it.

3) One of the main reasons to oppose policies that restrict trade among the nations is that GDP. GDP is a measure of growth in any country, therefore when there will be no trade among countries, it would result in less productions of goods and services which which lead to less industrialization, which then will result to low employment and more unemployment, ultimately resulting in very low growth for any country and since growth is the only way forward for any nation, economists oppose policies that restrict trade among countries/nations.

I hope this detailed answer of mine help the poster.

Thank You and Good Luck.

Which of the following statements regarding perpetuities is FALSE? A. A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that occurs

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The answer is: C) PV of a perpetuity = StartFraction r Over Upper C EndFraction (I guess this means PV = r / C, which is FALSE)

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is:

PV = C / r

Where PV = Present Value, C = cash flow, r = discount rate.

A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that lasts forever (perpetually).

The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is simple, so there is no reason to spend time calculating the present value of each cash flow, since there are infinite cash flows.

A consol bond s a type of perpetuity issued by the British government (also by the US government)

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

<u>BALANCE SHEET</u>

Assets Liabilities

Cash 10,000 Account Payable 17,000

Account Receivable 22,000 Long term 170,000

Inventory 200,000 Total Liab 187,000

non-current assets 100,000 Equity 145,000 (A)

total assets 332,000 Total liab + SE 332,000

Earnings before interest and taxes: 11,000 dolllars

Net income 8,000

Explanation:

(A) solve through the accounting equation

assets = laib + equity

332,000 = 187,000 + Equity = 332,000 - 187,000 = 145,000

income tax expense: 2,000

rate 20%

Earnings before taxes x 20% = 2,000

EBT = 2,000 / 0.2 = 10,000

Net income : 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000

EBIT: EBT + interest expense

10,000 + 1,000 = 11,000
