The gaol of a country with a healthy economy is to have _____ equal to zero

1 answer:

6 0

I would say the goal of a healthy economy is to have zero unemployment because that would mean that all able bodied men and women were gainfully employed which would enable them to contribute to the economy by producing wealth plus also consuming goods for their social reproduction with the resulting two-fold benefit to the economy.

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). C

Nitella [24]

Answer:

(a) The cash flows is $59,040.

(b) The cash flows is $71,040.

Explanation:

From the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:

Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%

Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate = $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400

Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600

We can now proceed as follows:

(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.

(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000

Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400

Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960

Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040

Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct choice is C)

The most logical thing to do would be to calculate the value of the stock in 5 years time.

Explanation:

This speaks to ones understanding of dividend growth stock valuation models. These tools are used to establish a fair value for a stock by discounting the present value of its future dividends. A commonly used model is the constant growth dividend discount model.

The formula for the DDM, which assumes constant growth in dividends, is provided below.

P0 = D1/(r-g)

Where,

P0 = intrinsic value of stock

D1 = dividend payment one year from today

r = discount rate

g = growth rate

Identifying the correct answer entails establishing a timeline of the expected cash flows. We are given the following information:

t0 = $0

t1 = $0

t2 = $0

t3 = $0

t4 = $0

t5 = $0.20

t6 = $0.20 * 1.035

Given a rate of return, we could use the constant growth dividend discount model to establish the fair value of the firm at t5 (five years from today). Incidentally, to determine today's value, we'd discount it back another five years.

Based on the information above, we are able to prove that the answer is '5'.

Cheers!

The agreed cost of an item to be purchased by a business on credit is $4,000. The applicable cost will be debited to advertising

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$4,480

Explanation:

The total amount to be recorded as expense would include the cost of the item purchased an the values of the applicable taxes.

As such, the advertising expense would include the value of the goods and services tax as well as the provincial sales tax with both tax rates applied to the applicable cost.

Goods and services tax = 5% × $4,000

= $200

Provincial sales tax = 7% × $4,000

= $280

Total debit to advertising expense

= $4,000 + $200 + $280

= $4,480
