Answer:
the ending balance of the investment account is $870,000
Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the investment account is shown below:
= Beginning balane + [(earns - dividend) × (owns shares ÷total shares)]
= $750,000 + [($1,200,000 - $960,000) × (20,000 ÷ 40,000)]
= $750,000 + $120,000
= $870,000
Hence, the ending balance of the investment account is $870,000
Answer:
The Answer is Capital.
Explanation:
In Economics, we identify that there are 4 main factors that contribute to the production, we call them "factors of production" and they are,
- Land: Not just "land" but also includes all the natural resources that could be extracted and used for any production purposes.
- Labor: Mental and physical efforts carried out by humans in the production process.
- Capital: Assets or anything that can enhance/boost the ability to produce. Usually, these are generated or created as a result of human interventions and efforts.
- Entrepreneurship: the set of skills required to coordinate and manage the process of production successfully.
So, under which category of factors that the computers fall under? Simple right? Its 3.Capital! because they are assets that are created by humans to aid in enhancing the production capabilities!
Answer:
It's best to invest in the second economy
Explanation:
The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.
In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.
In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.
Answer:
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Explanation:
First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
PMT = $32,000
P/y = 1
N = 25
R = 10%
FV = 0
Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28
At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.
Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
FV = $290,465.28
N = 20
R = 8 %
PV = $0
Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080
Conclusion :
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Answer:
Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = <u>$8,167.50</u>
Explanation:
As for the information provided the terms of purchase are,
1% discount if payment made within 10 days,
and a total credit period of 30 days without any discount beyond 10 days.
Here, inventory purchased on August 7 = $9,750
Less; Return on 11 August = $1,500
Net Purchases = $8,250
Since payment is made on 16 August that is within 10 days from purchase discount will be received
= $8,250 
1% = $82.50
Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = $8,250 - $82.50 = $8,167.50
