The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n
Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A
Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years
Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.
Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).
Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years
To nearest year;
n = 21 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.
Answer:
a. Groupo sells goods to MTN for $1,000,000, payment due at delivery.
- transaction price = $1,000,000
- revenue recognized once the goods are delivered
No journal entry is required until goods are delivered and accepted.
b. Groupo sells goods on account to Grifols for $800,000, payment due in 30 days.
- transaction price = $800,000
- revenue recognized immediately since goods were already delivered
The journal entry:
Dr Accounts receivable 800,000
Cr Sales revenue 800,000
c. Groupo sells goods to Magnus for $500,000, payment due in two installments, the first installment payable in 18 months and the second payment due 6 months later. The present value of the future payments is $464,000.
- transaction price = $480,000
- revenue recognized immediately since goods were already delivered
The journal entry:
Dr Notes receivable 500,000
Cr Sales revenue 480,000
Cr Discount on notes receivable 20,000
Answer:
600 units
Explanation:
The equation to calculate target profit is:
S × Q = (V × Q) + F + T
-
S = sales price
- Q = Quantity of units
- V = Variable expenses
- F = Fixed expenses
- T = Target profit
$134Q = $67Q + $32,300 + $7,900
$134Q - $67Q = $40,200
$67Q = $40,200
Q = $40,200 / $67 = 600
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
Given:
The net income = $12,000
Total equity = $40,000
Total assets = $80,000
Dividend payout ratio = 40%
Now,
Internal rate of return, r = 
or
Internal rate of return, r = 
or
Internal rate of return, r = 15%
and,
Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio
= 1 - 0.40
= 0.60 or 60%
Now,
Growth rate = Retention ratio × Internal rate of return
or
Growth rate = 0.60 × 0.15
or
Growth rate = 0.09
or
Growth rate = 9%
