Answer:

3.05%

Explanation:

According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.

Mathematically,

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1

Here,

r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today

r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today

r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1

By Putting Values, we have:

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1

(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184

By taking square-root on both sides, we have:

(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305

r2,0 = 3.05%

Alex

Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198

Explanation:

Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.

When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.

The Balance here is,

= $3 * 66 resold shares

= $198

This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$4,038

Explanation:

Present value (PV) is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows.

Present Value = Future Value  x (1/  ( 1 + interest rate ) ^ number of periods)

Present Value = 6,000 x (1/ ( 1 + 0.08) ^ 5)

Present Value  = 6,000 x 0.68058

Present Value = $4,038

Electrodo Co. purchased land for $55,000 with $20,000 paid in cash and $35,000 in notes payable. What effect does this transacti
Archy [21]

Answer:

(c). Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000

Explanation:

Accrual basis of accounting attempts to record transactions as and when they arise and not on the basis of  when money is actually received or paid. Once a liability is certain, such a liability is provided for immediately.

The journal entry for purchase of Land partly by cash and partly for issuing a notes payable would be:

Land                                                  Dr. $55,000

     To Cash                                                          $20,000

     To Notes Payable                                           $35,000

(Being land purchased by payment of $20,000 in cash and a note being issued against the balance amount)

Land and cash are assets whereas Notes Payable is a liability.

So, the effect of the above transaction would be:

Net increase of $35,000 ( $ 55,000 - $ 20,000) as debit in fixed assets account increases their balance whereas cash being a real account, the rule being debit what comes in, credit what goes out. So credit in cash account would reduce the cash balance by $ 20,000.

Notes Payable account which is to be paid in future is a liability which shall increase the liabilities by $ 35,000.

So, the correct answer is (c), Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000.
