Answer:
Money Multiplier= 1/ reserve ratio = 1/10% = 10
Change in Money Supply = Change in Reserves * Money Multiplier
= 1,000 * 10 = 10,000
So, option d is the correct option.
Answer:
Explanation:
When there are more substitutes for a product, the demand for the product is more price elastic. The implication of this is that the demand of such product will drop when there is increase in it price because people can get another product which will play the same role with the previous at a lesser price. Hence, the demand for the product vis more price elastic.
Answer: $1,750
Explanation:
Incurring a health insurance cost of $5,000 or increasing salaries by $5,000 will have the same effect on the taxes because they will both be removed from the income before the taxes are calculated.
The reduction in tax in either case is:
= Expense * Tax rate
= 5,000 * 35%
= $1,750
Answer:
(1) $19,500
(2) $142,000
(3) $27,000
(4) $15,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the p/l over the useful life of the asset. It may be computed as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
Annual depreciation = ($220,000 - $25,000)/10
= $19,500
4 years later
Carrying amount of the equipment
= $220,000 - 4 * $19,500
= $220,000 - $78,000
= $142,000
If the asset is impaired
An asset is said to be impaired when the carrying amount is higher than recoverable amount where the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use of the asset which is the present value of the future expected inflow from the use of the asset.
Value in use = $115,000
Fair value = $85,000
Value in use = $115,000
Impairment loss = $142,000 - $115,000
= $27,000
Remaining number of years is 6
New carrying amount = $115,000
the annual depreciation expense = ($115,000 - $25,000)/6
= $90,000/6
= $15,000
