It seems hard to justify spending $4.00 for a compact fluorescent lightbulb when an ordinary incandescent lightbulb costs 50 ¢.

To see if this makes sense, compare a 60 W incandescent bulb lasting 1000 hours to a 15 W compact fluorescent bulb having a lifetime of 10,000 hours. Both bulbs produce the same amount of visible light and are interchangeable. If electricity costs $0.10/kWh, what is the cost - purchase plus energy - to obtain 10,000 hours of light from each type of bulb? This is called the life-cycle cost.

Answer:

to obtain 10,000 hours of light you would need:

option 1)

10 incandescent light bulbs costing $0.50 each = $5

this incandescent light bulbs will consume 60 x 10,000 = 60,000 watts or 60 kWh = 60 x $0.10 = $6 in electricity

total costs using incandescent light bulbs = $5 + $6 = $11

option 2)

1 fluorescent light bulb = $4

this fluorescent light bulb will consume 15 x 10,000 = 15,000 watts or 15 kWh = 15 x $0.10 = $1.50

total costs using fluorescent light bulbs = $4 + $1.50 = $5.50

Shontelle owns an apartment house that has an adjusted basis of $760,000 but is subject to a mortgage of $192,000. She transfers
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

(a) $332,000

(b) $312,000

(c) $760,000

Explanation:

(a) Her realized gain or loss

Mathematically, Realized gain or loss = Amount realized - Adjusted Basis = (120000 + 780000 + 192000) - 760000.

= 1092000 - 760000

= $ 332000

(b) Her Recognized gain.

Mathematically, her recognized gain = Amount received in cash + Amount received in Mortgage = 120,000 + 192,000 = $312,000

(c) Basis of newly acquired office Building.

Mathematically:

Basis of newly acquired building = Fair market value of building - (realized gain - recognized gain) = (780,000)-(332,000-312,000) = 780,000-20,000 = $760,000

Which item below is an incorrect statement about the difference between the discount rate and the federal funds rate? a) The fed
mestny [16]

Answer:

a) The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing

Explanation:

The Feds fund rate is the rate at which banks borrow from each other usually overnight, while the discount rate is the interest rate charged by the Fed to commercial banks for borrowing directly from the Fed.

These borrowings help the commercial banks meet up their liquidity requirements.

The discount rate is higher than the Fed funds rate. This is to encourage banks to borrow from each other instead of borrowing directly from the Federal Reserve.

The Fed fund rate also tends to affect the prime lending rate (rate at which banks lend money to their clients).

So the statement - The federal funds rate has a higher interest rate than the discount rate to encourage borrowing. Is not correct
