Answer:

(a) 8%

(b) 5%

(c) 4%

Explanation:

According to the classical quantity theory of money,

Money supply × Velocity = Price Level × Real GDP

Money supply denoted by M

Velocity is denoted by V

Price level is denoted by P

Real GDP is denoted by Y

Therefore,

Change in M + Change in V = Change in P + Change in Y

Since, we know that V is constant, so V = 0

∴ Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

(a) Nominal GDP = Price × Real GDP

Change in P + Change in Y = Change in Nominal GDP = Change in M

Change in M = 8%, it is given in the question.

Therefore, Change in Nominal GDP = 8%

(b) Change in M = Change in P + Change in Y

      8% = Change in P + 3%

Change in P = 8% - 3%

                     = 5%

We know that change in price level is the inflation rate. Hence, the inflation rate is equal to the 5%.

(c) Real interest rate is the difference between the nominal interest rate and  the inflation rate.

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

                             = 9% - 5%

                             = 4%

Casey Electronics has a piece of machinery that costs $300,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 6 years or 40,000 hours.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

None of the given options.

Depreciation expense for year 1 would be $37,500.

Explanation:

Cost = $400,000

Residual value = $50,000  

Expected hours = 40,000

Working hours (year 1) = 6,000 hours  

Now,  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Expected hours}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{300,000 - 50,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{250,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = $6.25

Depreciation expense (year 1) = Depreciation per hour × Working hours (year 1)

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $6.25 × 6,000

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $37,500

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Dr Interest expense                    $33,500

Cr Discount on bonds payable                 $1,100

Cr Cash                                                            $32,400

Explanation:

Discount on bonds payable=$540,000-$529,000=$11,000

Amortization of discount=discount on bonds issue/period of the bond

period to maturity of the bond is  5 years *2 =10 since the bond pays interest semi-annually

Amortization =$11,000/10=$1,100

Semi-annual interest=$540,000*12%/2=$32,400

the bond semi-annual interest expense=discount amortization+interest payment

the bond semi-annual interest expense=$32,400+$1,100=$33,500

Stores such as T. J. Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, and Marshalls buy manufacturers' seconds, overruns, returns, and off-season
Rama09 [41]

Answer: off price retailers

Explanation:  In simple words, it refers to the retailers that sells high quality products at relatively lower prices than market. The key to their business structure is the discount they offer as the majority of product they sell are of second hand quality or are off seasoned.

    They procure material directly from the suppliers in the form of scrap etc and then sells it to retailer at heavy discounts. Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct answer is off price retailers.

The terms of a business combination can provide that former shareholders of the acquired firm may receive additional compensatio
Art [367]

Answer:

No, they wouldn't.

Explanation:

Any extra compensation to former stockholders of an acquired company which is based on post-combination share price or post-combination profits cannot be recognized as adjustments in the price of business combinations.

The reason for this is that changes in the fair value of contingent consideration (in case something happens) after the company has been acquired, e.g. achieving certain profits or stock price, are not considered period adjustments, therefore they cannot be included in the cost of the business combination (acquisition).
