Answer:
9.09% and 5.263%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The current rate of unemployment is
= Number of Unemployed people ÷ labor force
= 10 ÷ 110
= 9.09%
b. The natural rate of unemployment is
= Separation rate ÷ Separation rate + finding rate
= 0.01 ÷ 0.01 + 0.18
= 0.01 ÷ 0.19
= 5.263%
These both should be expressed in a percentage forms
Answer:
b)
Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800
Explanation:
<em>According to International Accounting standards(IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.</em>
So we will add the purchase cost to installation , freight charges.
Cost of assets = 300,000 + 14,000 + 40,000 =$354,000
Annual depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value)/ Number of years
= (354,000 - 60,000)/5
=$58,800
Annual Depreciation expense= $58,800
Answer: a). Debit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000; credit Cash $160,000.
Explanation: Direct labor refers to the manpower used in production. They are the factory workers involved in using the raw materials to produce finished goods.
Expense on direct labor is provided for during the production by a debit to factory payroll expense and a credit to factory payroll payable.
As such, the journal entry will be a debit to factory payroll payable $160,000 and a credit to cash $160,000. This means cash will reduce by $160,000 as the factory workers are paid while payables which is a provision account will reduce as well on the cash book by the same amount.
Answer: 1.66
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the beta of the stock will be calculated as follows:
Expected return = 16.2%
Market return = 11.2%
Inflation rate = 3.1%
Risk-free rate of return = 3.6%
We should note that:
Expected return = risk-free rate + Beta × (market rate- risk-free rate)
Therefore,
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × (11.2% - 3.6%)
16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × 7.6%
16.2% - 3.6% = Beta × 7.6%
12.6% = Beta × 7.6%
Beta = 12.6% / 7.6%
Beta = 1.66
Answer:
D. For a higher interest rate, an annuity has a smaller future value
Explanation:
If the interest rate increases, then the capitalization factor on the annuity increases making the annuity future valeu increase:
on the capitalziation factor we got rate in both part of the division:
on the top part is being added a unit and power to t
while in the other it doesn't change.
While it is true that a higher dividend makes the quotient decrease, the increases in the top part exceeds by far the increase in the bottom part, making increase the quotient.
