Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased
Explanation:
The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.
If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.
Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
- rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Answer:
The range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50
Explanation:
Data provided:
The purchasing cost of the transistor = $ 3.50
The total number of transistors needed = 8,000
The production cost of the transistor = $ 4.00
The included variable cost = $ 3.25
The included fixed cost = $ 0.75
Now,
the fixed cost cannot be altered, thus it will be there
hence,
the variable cost will be the factor that will evaluate the decision i.e $ 3.25
therefore, the <u>range of possible transfer is $ 3.25 to $ 3.50</u>
Answer:
a. Journal entry to record the issue of notes
Date Account Title & Explanation Debit $ Credit $
Jan 1 Cash 350,000
Notes Payable 350,000
(To record the issue of notes payable)
b. Calculation of Interest Expenses
Particulars Amount $
Beginning balance of loan payment 350,000
Annual interest rate 4%
Interest expenses 14,000
Hence the interest expenses = $14,000
Principal amount is calculated as the difference between the annual payment and the interest expenses as seen below
Particulars Amount $
Annual payment 96,590
Less: Interest expenses 14,000
Principal Payment 82,590
Hence, the principal payment =$82,590
Answer:
b. $150
Explanation:
Standard deduction refers to deduction available to an individual at a flat rate say 30%.Whereas in itemized deductions, an individual can claim deductions at different rates on different items.
Usually itemized deductions are more beneficial to an individual and in case tax saving in these cases exceeds total standard deductions, itemized deductions should be preferred.
In the given case, contribution of $1000 to church shall amount to a deduction. Since the tax rate applicable to the individual is 15%, the savings in tax shall amount to 15% of $1000 i.e $150.
