Answer:

Effective Annual Rate  = 8.1600%

Explanation:

The effective annual rate the interest rate that is adjusted for compounding over a given period of time. It is given by the formula:

r = (1+\frac{i}{n})^n -1\\where:\\r = effective\ annual\ rate\\i = nominal\ interest\ rate\ = 8.00\% = 0.08 \\n = number\ of\ compounding\ periods\ per\ year\ = 2\ (semi-annually)

r = (1+\frac{0.08}{2})^2 -1\\r = (1\ +\ 0.04)^2 - 1\\r = (1.04)^2 - 1\\r = 1.0816 - 1\\r = 0.0816\\r = 8.1600 \%

Which one of the following is an argument in favor of a low dividend policy? Few, if any, positive net present value projects ar
g100num [7]

Answer: The tax on capital gains is deferred until the gain is realized

Explanation:

The TAX DIFFERENTIAL VIEW of DIVIDEND POLICY is a notion that states that shareholders generally prefer capital gains fo dividend payouts because capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than dividend payouts.

Therefore they would like to pay less tax on dividends and instead wait until they make a capital gain as the taxes on that are less and are only charged after the gain is realized.

This translates to less dividends being paid by companies that follow this logic therefore the 4th option is correct.

Natalka [10]

Answer: a. Credit to Unrealized Gain-Equity for $4,000.

Explanation:

Because the investment is an AVAILABLE FOR SALE investment, gains and losses made on it are recorded under COMPREHENSIVE INCOME in the Equity section as Unrealized gains or losses.

Because this is profit, it is treated as Unrealized gains and is Credited in the Equity section under Comprehensive income.

You however only record the gains or losses and not the whole amount because the investment is recorded at Fair Value as an asset.

Therefore in this scenario, the gain is $20,000-$16000 which is $4000. That is what is recorded as an Unrealized gain.
