Business

evablogger [386]3 years ago

Answer:

A. To reward creative and innovative individuals

Explanation:

A patent is a record of intellectual and scientific activity on the outcome of an experiment that will benefit society as a whole. For example, when a company creates a new medicine, it is entitled to a patent. This ensures that only she can market that medicine for a certain number of years. A patent is a form of stimulating research and innovation, as it guarantees the owner the rights to market. If this were not protected, there would be no incentive to develop new components as everything could be quickly copied by other companies, which would be unfair to those who struggled to create the product.

If the Federal Reserve tightens the money supply, other things held constant, short-term interest rates will be pushed upward, a
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Tightening monetary policy or curbing money supply in an economy is a move by Federal Reserve to control inflation or bring down over-heated economic growth.

Money supply is curbed by increasing short-term interest rates, thereby increasing cost of borrowing and making borrowing less attractive to public. This increase in short-term rates, also called Federal fund rates are usually greater than long-term interest rates prevailing in the market.

Suppose you invest semiannually for 25 years in an annuity that pays 5% interest, compounded semiannually. At the end of the 25
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$354,500

Explanation:

First find the amount invested ie the Present Value as follows :

n = 25 × 2 = 50

i = 5%

P/yr = 2

Pmt = $0

Fv = $500,000

Pv = ?

Using a Financial Calculator to enter the amounts as above, the Present Value is $145,471

Total Interest = Future Value - Present Value

                      = $500,000 - $145,471

                      = $354,529

Thus interest is $354,500 (nearest hundred dollars).

As per given data

Quarter     Real GDP ($billions)     Long-Run Trend of Real GDP ($billions)

   1                      4,000                                   4,000

   2                     4,160                                    4,120

   3                     4,326                                    4,244

   4                     4,413                                    4,371

   5                     4,501                                    4,502

   6                     4,591                                    4,637

   7                     4,499                                    4,776

   8                     4,409                                    4,919

   9                     4,673                                    5,067

   10                    4,954                                    5,219

   11                     5,252                                    5,376

   12                    5,376                                    5,537

Growth of GDP = (DGP of Current/recent period - GDP of Prior period) / DGP of Prior period

In this question prior period is quarter 10 and current /recent period is quarter 11.

So, formula will be

Growth of GDP = (DGP of quarter 11 - GDP of quarter 10) / GDP of quarter 10

As we need to calculate the real GDP growth the formula will be as follow

Growth of real GDP = (Real DGP of quarter 11 - Real GDP of quarter 10) / Real GDP of quarter 10

Growth of real GDP = ($5,252 billion - $4,954 billion) / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = $298 billion / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = 6.02% = 6%

A company is preparing financial statements using IFRS for the first time for the year ended December 31, 2018. The "transition
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

E. January 1, 2017

Explanation:

Financial statements are prepared showing at least two years for the sake of comparability.

It will be important for the company in presenting its financial statement using the IFRS for the year ended December 31st 2018 to show the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2017 as if it had always applied the IFRS.

The basic idea is to show in the financial statements the effects of adopting the IFRS from a preceding period in order for the entity to show the financial statement for 2017 and 2018 and be able to compare them having been prepared on the same basis.

Thus, the transition date will be the beginning of the preceding period when the IFRS was applied (1st Jan. 2017 oe 31st Dec. 2016).

I hope this explanation makes the concept easy to grasp.

Thank you.
