Answer:
6.67 years
Explanation:
The number of years for the firm to reach the desired value of $1.2 million can determined using the nper formula in excel as below:
=nper(rate,pmt,pv,-fv)
rate is the interest rate earns by the fund at 10% per year
pmt is the addition to the fund in each year which is $50,000
pv is the current amount in the fund which is $400,000
fv is the desired value of $1.2 million
=nper(10%,50000,400000,-1200000)= 6.67 years
It would take 6.67 years for the sinking fund to reach the desired value of $1,200,000
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Here, shoes are normal goods as there is a positive relationship between the income level of the consumer and the quantity demanded for shoes. It can be seen that as the income of the consumer increases from $19,000 to $21,000 then as a result the quantity of pairs of shoes demanded increases from 9 to 11 pairs. Normal goods are generally have positive income elasticity of demand.
Therefore, the shoes are normal goods in this case.
Answer:
$35,000
Explanation:
Under IAS 36, an asset is said to be impaired where the carrying amount is more than the recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use which is the present value of the expected future cashflow.
Given that;
Carrying Amount = $120,000
Selling Price = $80,000
Costs of Disposal = $5,000
Hence fair value less cost to sell = $80,000 - $5,000 = $75,000
Expected Future Cash Flows = $90,000
Present Value of expected future cash flows = $85,000 ( this is the value in use)
Recoverable amount = $85,000 (since the value in use is higher that the fair value less cost to sell)
This is lower than the carrying amount hence the asset is impaired.
Impairment = $120,000 - $85,000
= $35,000
Answer:
$5,917, 965.66 per year
Explanation:
The $48 million will represent the value of all annuities after ten years. The get the amount the city of Glendale should be saving each year, we apply the present value of annuity formula, which is as below.
P = PV × r / 1 − (1+r)−n
P is value of each payment
PV = present value of annuity : $48,000,000.00
r =interest rate : 4 % = 0.04
n: number of periods: 10
P = $48,000,000 x {0.04/(1-(1+0.04)-10}
P = $48,000,000 x {0.04/ 1-0.6755641688)
P =$48,000,000x (0.04/0.3244358312)
P= $48,000,000 x 0.123290951
P= 5,917, 965.66 per year
Certificates of Deposit (CDs), U.S Treasury Bills, and savings accounts are generally regarded as the least risky investments, given that they are backed - at least up to a certain limit - by the U.S government.
CDs are essentially fixed-term savings accounts, which means you must deposit your funds for a set amount of time, until the account reaches what is called "maturity." Withdrawing funds before this point typically leads to a fee. In return for sacrificing liquidity, CDs tend to offer higher interest rates than normal savings accounts. These rates are most often fixed, though they sometimes come with a feature that enables you to readjust your interest rates once over your account's lifetime. Bank-issued CDs are also insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per depositor, though this figure has dropped to $100,000 January 1, 2014. Credit Union-issued CDs are insured by another government agency, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which provides the same coverage as the FDIC.
U.S Treasury Bills are sold by the government to investors as a way to fund short-term government debts. If you purchase a U.S Treasury Bill, you are basically loaning the government a certain amount of money in return for the government's promise to pay you back with a predetermined higher amount when the bill reaches maturity. U.S Treasury Bills are typically issued with maturity terms of one month, three months, six months and 1 year.
As we all know, savings accounts are offered by banks and credit unions and provide variable interest rates, which means their rates fluctuate in accordance with the Prime Rate. While there is no time requirement for a savings account, as there is with a CD, the law only allows consumers to make up to six transfers or withdrawals from a savings account per month (not including in-person ATM or branch withdrawals). Savings accounts offer the same as insurance protections as CDs.
Hope this helps you =)
