Answer:
Retained earnings on the December 31, 2019: $253,000
Explanation:
Ending balance in retained earnings is calculated by using following formula:
Ending balance in retained earnings = Beginning balance in retained earnings + Net income - Cash dividends - Stock dividends
Grizzly Company had Retained Earnings at December 31, 2018 of $210,000. Beginning balance in retained earnings at January 01, 2019 is $210,000
Net income = Revenues - Expenses = $410,000 - $355,000 = $55,000
Ending balance in retained earnings = $210,000 + $55,000 - $12,000 = $253,000
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value.
What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the Shoes-leather costs of inflation.
A Shoe-leather costs refers to the costs of time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting depository financial institutions in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Metaphorically, it ultimately implies that in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Bob is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to reduce the nominal interest rates.
Answer:
$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.
Explanation:
From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".
So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.
At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.
Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
