Costs of alternative M=$77,000+$49,000+$42,000+$168000

Costs of alternative N=$68,000+$49,000+$31,000=$148,000

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

D) cause the quantity demanded to exceed the quantity supplied of rental housing.

Explanation:

A price ceiling is a binding government regulation in which it puts a cap on the price landlords can charge tenants to rent their properties. If this happens, there could be a rapid significant increase in the demand of apartments. This would lead  to excess demand that the existing  supply cannot meet , creating a shortage. The property owners may also choose to not rent their apartment at that lower price driving the supply even lower.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.)

This is an annuity type of question. Using a financial calculator, input the following to find the PV of the Ordinary annuity;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,845.24

b.) This is an <em>Annuity Due </em>type of question since the recurring monthly payment occur at the beginning of the month.

Using a financial calculator, change the mode to "BEG"  and input the following to find the PV of the annuity due;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,970.31

Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $7 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:The cost of capital that will make both investments equal is 17.045%

Explanation:

Investment A

$1.5 million will be received in perpetuity we can there use perpetuity formula to Value investment A.

Value of Investment A = 1500 000/r

Investment B

$1.2 Million will be received in Investment B with a growth rate of 3% will then use Gordon's growth rate model to value investment B.

Value of investment B = (1200 000 x (1+0.03))/(r - 0.03)

Value of investment B = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1500 000/r = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1236000(r) = 1500000(r - 0.03)

(r - 0.03) = 1236000( r)/1500000

r - 0.03 = 0.824r

r - 0.824r = 0.03 = 0.176r = 0.03

r = 0.03/0.176 = 0.170454545

R = 17.045%

The cost of capital that will make both investments to be equal is 17.045%

Barry, a solvent individual but a recovering alcoholic, embezzled $6,000 from his employer. In the same year that he embezzled t
skad [1K]

Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness

Explanation:

Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.

In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is add $72 to the book's balance.

Explanation:

Bank reconciliation is a way of identifying discrepancies between the cash book balance (company's books) and the bank balance (balance per bank statement). The discrepancies can be as a result of erroneous posting, deposit in transit, outstanding checks, etc.

In the instance of the question, there was an erroneous posting in the cash book of $72 ($480 - $408). Instead of crediting cash book by $408, it was rather credited by $480 - meaning that the credit was overstated by $72. <em>To correct this erroneous posting, we have to add back $72 to the cash book balance.</em>
