Answer:

The monthly return on this investment vehicle is 1.37%

Explanation:

A perpetuity contract is one which lasts forever, It does not any time limit. Live Forever Life Insurance Co will pay $1,600 for indefinite time on today's investment of #117,000.

Monthly return will be calculated using following formula:

Present value of Perpetuity = Perpetuity Received / Interest rate

$117,000 = $1,600 / r

r = $1,600 / $117,000

r = 1.37%

Monthly return on the perpetuity is 1.37% for this perpetuity.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000

Explanation:

A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.

In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.

2)Torres Inc. recently began production of a new product, the halogen light, which required the investment of $600,000 in assets
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The selling price is $99

Explanation:

The selling price of the product can be computed by adding required profit margin to the unit cost of the product.The required profit margin is the 10% return on invested assets.

Total variable cost           $59*10000                =$590,000

Fixed expenses ($180,000+$60,000)               =$240,000

desired profit margin(10%*$600,000)                =$60,000

Total sales revenue                                              =$990,0000

price per unit=$990,000/10000=$99

The cost-plus approach to product pricing gives $99

Aunt Mabel promised to give you $9000 when you successfully complete your freshman year, $6000 when you successfully complete yo
Blababa [14]

Solution :

At every stage the formula used will be :

$\frac{\text{available balance}}{(1+\text{interest rate})}= \text{required bank balance}$

After the junior year, Aunt Mabel's bank balance will be :

$=\frac{8000}{1.0925}$

= $ 7,322.65

Aunt Mabel's bank balance after sophomore year will be :

7,322.65 + 1000 = $ 8,322.65

$=\frac{8,322.65}{1.0325} $

= $ 8060.677

After the freshman year, bank balance of Aunt Mable's will be :

8060.677 + 6000 = $ 14,060.677

$=\frac{14,060.677}{1.0250} $

= $ 14.0606

If Aunt Mabel can predict the interest rate with accuracy, she will have to deposit :

$ 14.0606 + $ 9000 = $ 9,014.06

$=\frac{9014.06}{1.0525}$

= $ 8,565.241

olganol [36]

Answer:

B. Herbania is technologically superior to Duckistan in producing civilian goods.

Explanation:

Duckistan Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    20  18   14    8    0

Military Goods     0     1    2     3    4

opportunity cost  -     ¹/₁₈  ¹/₇  ³/₈   4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  20  18   7   2.7   -     military goods

Herbania Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    40  36  26   14   0

Military Goods     0    1     2     3    4

opportunity cost  -    ¹/₃₆  ¹/₁₃  ³/₁₄  4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  40 36   13  4.7   -     military goods

Herbania has an absolute advantage in the production of civilian goods. Since it also has a lower opportunity cost of producing civilian goods, therefore, it also has a comparative advantage at producing civilian goods. Assuming that resources are equal in both countries, then we can assume that Herbania is technologically superior in the production of civilian goods.

Dukistan has a lower opportunity cost of producing military goods, therefore, it has a comparative advantage at producing military goods.
