Answer:

1. 4%

2. 2%

Interest rates are rounded off to nearest whole number.

Explanation:

Fisher effect formula determines the relationship between the Nominal rate, Real rate and inflation rate.

Fisher effect formula is as follows

1 + nominal rate = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + inflation rate )

1 + 5% = ( 1 + real rate ) ( 1 + 1% )

1.05 = ( 1 + real rate ) x 1.01

1 + real rate = 1.05 / 1.01

1 + real rate = 1.0396

real interest = 1.0396 - 1 = 0.0396 = 3.96% = 4%

Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ nominal rate ) / ( 1+ real rate ) ] -1

Inflation premium = [ ( 1+ 6% ) / ( 1+ 4% ) ] -1

Inflation premium = [ ( 1.06 / 1.04 ] -1

Inflation premium = 1.0192 - 1

Inflation premium = 0.0192

Inflation premium = 1.92%

Inflation premium = 2%

Answer:

Deferred Tax Liability= $564,000

Explanation:

The question is to determine the deferred tax liability to recognize by Sunland Co. at the end of the year 2017.

Step 1 :

We determine what the Income tax expense is for the year

Income tax expense= Pretax financial income x Income Tax rate

Income tax expense= $1,410,000 x 0.30 = $423,000

Step 2:

Although we recognized receivables as well as instalmental sales for reporting purposes under the accrual method. However, these will be subject to tax when we decide to recognize it in the future.

As such Deferred tax liability = Future Tax Liability

Deferred Tax liability for Sunland Co= Instalmental Sales x Income tax expense

= $1,880,000 x 0.3= $564,000

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

In an open economy, domestic firms have to face competition from the foreign producers. If firms face losses in the long run, because of import competition, these firms will leave the industry.

As the number of domestic firms get reduced, the demand curve of the other firms will become flatter. This happens because of the foreign firms that bring in a large variety of goods in the domestic market.

If the expected path of 1-year interest rates over the next five years is 2 percent, 4 percent, 1 percent, 4 percent, and 3 perc

timofeeve [1]

Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.
